      @Danp Thanks for the quick response

      I have changed to the latest channel and am now on 5.93.1

      The VM I am trying to import is shutdown

      The successful imports of the Linux VM's were so quick I can do the same with the Windows boxes once its working - this can be done over a weekend so that time is not too critical

      I have started the VM and created a snapshot then shut it down again but still get the same results

      the detailed message is

      vm.importMultipleFromEsxi

        @parsedave Can you share the .vmx file here for @florent to review? I've not seen this error before, but it appears to be related to CBT from VMWare.

          Happy to try anything you need me to

          Not sure where you are - I'm in the UK but can be around for at least another hour. I will be around over the weekend but not always at my desk so responses may be a little slower

          Thanks for your help so far

          Dave

              @florent Thanks
              I don't seem to be able to login to XOA console - I have never done this so don't believe I have set a password for this which I believe will be different to the web UI username and password.

              I am assuming I need to login to the console to pull the change you have made but this may be integrated in to master soon so I don't need to do this to retrieve the change. Do you know when this may be done so I can just update orchestra from the web UI

              Thanks
              Dave

                @parsedave To set the SSH password, follow these instructions in our documentation.

                If you want to test the pending fix, you need to deploy a separate instance of XO from sources. Otherwise, just wait for it to be officially released in XOA.

                      @florent @danp Thank you so much for that. I have installed the update and tested an import of a Windows machine with no issues
