@mrtweb Are you cloning from Windows template ?

[snobear]

Are you able to clone the template successfully from the vcenter GUI?

[snobear]

@mrtweb can you add the --debug flag to your clone command and put the full output in a gist and link it here?

@feld-ims do you guys spin up any Windows VMs with ezmomi? Wondering if you've hit this error before and could assist?

   msg = 'A specified parameter was not correct: spec.identity',

[felsys]

We don't, but some light research suggests this can be caused when tacking on the domain name to the hostname when cloning (which looks like may be happening with that debug output).
