A developer Is building and testing a new Blueprint to deploy a Window Server VM on AHV. During one of the test runs, the application build fails.
The developer asks an administrator to investigate the failure. After careful review, the administrator finds this error message on a task that execute a Poweredshell script.
What is the cause of this error message?
Answer : B
The error message 'A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated' is often caused by the lack of CredSSP (Credential Security Support Provider) being enabled on the Windows Operating System. CredSSP is necessary for certain remote operations, including executing PowerShell scripts remotely.

The administrator receives the below error when deleting an Application from a Self-Service (formerly Calm) blueprint for a Linux VM when using a custom script as part of the Delete system action:
Which two steps should the administrator take to delete the deployment? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, D
The error indicates that there is an issue with DNS resolution while executing the delete script. To resolve this and successfully delete the deployment, the administrator can:
Perform a Stop: Stop the application or VM to ensure that no processes are actively using the resources. This might resolve any temporary network or DNS issues.
Manually delete the VM: If stopping the application does not resolve the issue, manually deleting the VM from the Prism Central or the respective hypervisor management console is necessary. This will bypass the script error.
