I'm having a problem recomposing or deleting a VM in VMware ViewAdministrator 5.0. The error listed under the Events tab for this VM is "Provisioning error occurred for Machine VM-Name: Unable to remove Machine from inventory". The Error Status listed under the Desktops view for this VM is, "10/12/12 1:22:12 PM CDT: Failed to delete VM - null". The Summary tab for this VM shows that its currently pointing to a Base Image that no longer exists.
I haven't tried deleting it from vSphere because we were told to never delete something from vSphere that was created in VMware View Administrator because when we were originally implementing VMware we were told by a VMware consultant that this would really mess up the Database and that is very difficult to fix.
How can we get rid of this bad VM?
