First of all. Do we need vt-x/ept? Or could it be deactivated on your side before export? Can't start without saying yes and then my vcenter deactivated it anyway.. Just found that..
So my third import. today. If i say yes it boots. Shutdown .. boot.. Question again.. Answer with no.. will fail the bootprocess.
After an manual/tasked Upgrade
vmware tools missing. They are installed automatically when something different is installed. Just as a note' Seems they are just outdated ot something.. .
