Many thanks As far as I know there's no defined method or virsh command to do with templates. My reference to templates is more the idea of creating a VM who's purpose is to act as a clone source for future VMs. This system would be configured then sysprepped. The final step of a sysprep is a shutdown, so once shutdown this "template" would remain offline until a change to the base is needed. Any startup of this VM would require another sysprep before being cloned. If more than a handful of clones need to be made I'd recommend looking at OPSI or MDT for provisioning. - Trey
