Hi Everyone

     Right now I am trying to make a copy of a Virtual Machine  and to customize the settings on the unit for deployment. Right now my  code is as follows (Note: I cleaned some of the values before posting  public) The return result of this is Invalid Argument. Does anyone know  how I can dive deeper into the error and find out what is ultimatly the  reason for the issue?

Thanks,
