Hey @deda-smartini,

I see this thread from the vSphere provider https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-vsphere/issues/489

Could you try and disable the "vApp Options" for the template and rerun apply?

[deda-smartini]

Hi @jarpat, thank you the reply. I disabled the vapp options and now the vms provisioning works.

Thank you
