Description Christian Jung 2016-10-17 07:35:04 UTC

If VMware is setup to use folder to organize ESX hosts, the folder list is shown to the user during the VM provisioning. If the user selects one of those host folder, provisoining will fail.

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure vCenter has ESX hosts organized in folders
2. order a new VM from "Lifecycle, Provision VM"
3. in the environment select the Host folders are shown in the dropdown list

Expected results:
