Using the Management Console, you can download configuration templates for many popular applications. Configuration templates are pre-configured Flex configuration files that are designed to facilitate the initial implementation of popular applications.

The configuration templates are starter templates that you must test in your environment and possibly modify to suit the needs of your organization.

Procedure

  1. Start the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console and click Download Config Template.
  2. Select one or more templates.
  3. Save the templates to either the General folder, which is the default folder for Flex configuration files, or a subfolder in the General folder.
    You can use an existing subfolder or you can create a new subfolder.
