Tag the Template after the Update

Tagging helps you track the version of the template that is used by the virtual desktops. Tag the template to generate a template tag and associate the clones with their parent golden template.

Follow these steps:

1. Drag-and-drop the Tag Template procedure from the CA DSM Agent add-on VDI Package to the golden template on DSM Explorer.
2. Do one of the following actions depending on the virtual desktop solution:
   • (For XenDesktop based on Citrix PVS) Shut down the machine, so that the updates are saved to the vDisk.
   • (For VMware View and Citrix MCS) Shut down the virtual machine and create a snapshot.

     This action associates the snapshot with the template tag.
