10.1.3 Creating Desktop VMs for the vSphere hypervisor configuration
For equivalent steps to create desktop VMs for vSphere, see the vSphere Virtual Machine Administration
Guide (ESXi 5.5) . For example specifications to use for the desktop VMs, refer to the vSphere Desktop VM
Example Configuration Table earlier in this guide.
NOTE: Solution is provided on the basis of using full clones for persistence (Standard provisioning) and
recommended disk format is VMDK. Ensure the Template VM is placed in the same container as the
Desktop pool (for example, ds_compute) for faster deployment.

1. Install the appropriate Windows desktop OS using Windows 7 or later (other OSs are supported
but out of scope for this document) on the desktop template VM. Attach an .iso file to the virtual
DVD drive or use existing OS deployment applications to install the desktop OS.
