Okay...
1. I did that.. and the problem went away. Thanks L. (FYI.. Technically, I was over that number by a margin, now I'm over that number by a WIDE margin and the problem is gone.) My VMs are 512, and I had it configured for 1024. Now the disposable disk is set to 2048 and the problem is gone.
2. Also.. the batch files provided by Vmware to optimize the desktop.. (turn off services, etc etc) is definitely what's blowing up my ability to provision. Its definitely isolated down to that.
Since this is a test lab setup, I'm not going to use optimizations much anyway.. and I'm basically up and running, and also got HTML access working within the VMs and on the vConnect server as well.
Next up: Persona management.
So that's it for this thread. Thanks again everyone for helping hands.
