Totally new to Workspaces, so still figuring it all out.
Created a workspace, installed bits of SW (Firefox, Google Earth and a few others). Tweaked some settings and got it working as I needed.
I now want to replicate that exact VM multiple times.
So took an image of it. From the image created a bundle and then added a new user to that bundle and spawned a new VM.
Only the new VM looks totally vanilla, none of the changes I made, to the original VM, are there.
I'm assuming I've cocked up somewhere....
There are quite a few requirements that need to be met before you can create an image. Guessing one of more of those have not been met. Assuming it is Windows, did you use the image checker beforehand?
Image Checker Doc
Nope not seen that. It had happily created an image for me.
Anyway, deleted that VM and tried again and this time is seemed to half work - some of the Apps (Firefox, Google Earth) were on the new VM but not of our proprietary ones, nor some PDF docs I'd added.
However, that seems to be the least of my worries as the new VM seems to have no internet connection (the first just worked out the box).
Adding connectivity seems to be the most incomprehensibly tortuous process imaginable, you have to create instances of the router table, NAT, subnets etc all separately - each of which gets allocated some encrypted ID so you can't figure out which subnet is for which VM and connected to which Router table using which NAT. Wasted several hours and still zero connectivity.
I just wanted a tick box saying 'allow internet traffic' which I eventually found, but that also made no difference.
I would just copy the settings from the first working VM, but as it seems to keep every instance from the 4 VMs I've now built, I have lots of instances of everything which I can't relate back to a specific VM. I have something like 20 subnet instances, 4 router tables, 1 internet gateway, 3 NAT tables, 2 AWS directories, etc..
