I get the error creating a VM: "ServerFaultCode: The operation is not supported on the object." It looks like on my VMware server it says it is trying to create a folder and cannot do it. I am on VMware 8.0, the latest version of the packer-plugin-vsphere, and packer v1.11.2 |

Are you running it against a standalone ESXi host instead of a vCenter Server instance? |

Yes, I do not have Vcenter set up. should I set up Vcenter to play with it?
The previous examples of using it with the ESXi are also failing with the same error. I had an example with RHEL8 which previously worked and not fail with the same error.I assume something changed with the vmware packer plugin?

This examples project is designed to work with vCenter Server instead of direct ESXi. It can be adjsted to work with direct ESXi but it's a bit of effort - commenting out folder, cluster, datacenter, and the use of the content library for each build definition. |

That worked, thanks. I am having a problem with Ubuntu server, but Fedora and Rocky seem to be working now that I am using vCenter.
