Validate a Request After Manual Intervention
Occasionally, a request might require manual intervention. For example, if the Sysprep process inside the
virtual machine does not run to completion as the virtual machine is cloned, you might need to open the virtual
machine in the vSphere Client and complete the process manually. You can then validate the virtual machine
so that LCM can resume managing the request.
