If an administrator sets a system‐wide lease time, a user without
administrator privileges cannot override the value but can extend the lease to
any value up to the value set by the administrator.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can
extend a lease to the original maximum value. Once the user alters the lease
time, the lease choices reset up to the latest value determined by the
administrator.
d Specify a time to delete the template (or mark it for deletion). The default
option for marking or permanent deletion is preset by an administrator.
Most operations renew the storage lease because Lab Manager identifies the
template as in use.
If an administrator sets a system‐wide lease time, a user without
administrator privileges cannot override the value but can extend the lease to
any value up to the value set by the administrator.
If the administrator changes the value after the initial setting, the user can

4 (Recommended) Install LM Tools.
You must install VMware Tools before installing LM Tools. See "Installing VMware
Tools" on page 60 and "Installing LM Tools" on page 61.
Virtual machines created from templates with LM Tools installed automatically have
network parameters (IP address, MAC address, Security Identifiers, and more) set
when first deployed.
For more information on cloning operations, see "Reviewing Template Operations" on
