'''''ESX'' does not support virtual machine hardware version "0"'''
Caused by config data corruption, potentially from the machine's VMX file
# Locate the VM's config and confirm the hardware version is set correctly (eg to v7 for ESX4)
#* <code> virtualHW.version = "7" </code>
# Go into the SQL database on the Lab Manager server, perform the following queries to confirm the VM's affected and correct
#* <code> SELECT dir_id, name, hw_version FROM VirtualServer WHERE hw_version=0 </code>
#* <code> UPDATE VirtualServer SET hw_version=7 WHERE hw_version=0 </code>
#* <code> UPDATE VirtualServer SET hw_version=<correctNumber> WHERE hw_version=0 AND name='VirtualMachineName' </code>
# The VM then needs to be cloned to template and then redeployed (clone required to prevent reoccurrance)
