VMware-Specific Snapshot Configuration Option

AdminStudio 2020 | 19.0 | Automated Application Converter

When configuring a VMware Workstation or VMware ESX/ESXi Server image, there is a setting that controls what VMware does with a virtual machine when it is powered off. In VMware Workstation, the option is set on the Options tab of the Virtual Machine Settings dialog box:

Snapshots Options on VMware Workstation Virtual Machine Settings Dialog Box

It is recommended that you set the Snapshot / When powering off option to Just power off. Do not select the Ask me option; selecting this option would block the use of this virtual image by Automated Application Converter until the prompt is dismissed by the user.
