Description

Trying to build a VM on a VMWare CR results in this error from vSphere:

An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM el6pupclient02.corp.follett.com.
The configuration file does not specify a guest operating system. Select a guest operating system from the General page on the Options tab of Virtual Machine Settings.
