How to Template VMs on ESXi
Make the template:
Build a virtual machine with your OS of choice.
Enable ssh into the ESX host
ssh into the host
Go into the datastore in which you created your VM
Make a copy of the VM you just built
To deploy:
Go into the datastore you are going to keep your new VM.
Make a new directory – I always call it the same as the short name of the VM I am creating
Copy only the .vmdk files into the new directory you’ve created.
Logout, and fire up the Virtual Infrastructure Client, and create a new VM as you normally would.
When it asks about the disk, choose “Use an existing disk,” and select the copy of the vmdk.

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
