View Linked Clone Provisioning

I was working with our VMware View implementation today and ran into a problem I think would be fairly common. I was creating an Automated Pool using Linked Clone technology but the base VM was not available for me to select. It seems I forgot one simple step, take a snapshot of the powered off VM. Once I took the snapshot, the VM showed up and I was able to select it. So, for all those creating Automated Pools using Linked Clones, DON'T FORGET TO SNAPSHOT THE MASTER VM.
