To change the template, you must convert it back to a virtual machine. You cannot modify a template after you create it. To clone a virtual machine to a template, you must select an existing virtual machine to clone.

Question: Is there a way to determine if you have a full or a linked clone? I believe I should be able to do this with the tools I - Thanks for the link, but again I should be able to do this with the tools I have. That's not the case here with SQL in the - Thanks for the suggestion about using a V2V converter. I've also read that the changes made to the clone will not effect the parent. If you have another explanation that explains this behavior please let me know. So I'm guessing that what I have is a linked clone. And I learned that a linked clone shares the same virtual disks with the source. This led me to research why this was happening. I deleted them from the source vm and they were deleted from the clone also. The source vm is running SQL 2019, I created two new db's on the clone, and they showed up on the source vm. This created a linked clone, not a full clone. I right clicked on the VM, selected clone and stepped through the wizard, renaming the clone.
VMw ESXi 6.5 - Yes we have vCenter version 6.5 - the VM OS is Windows - I'm using this doc for types of clones.
