VMware View Linked Clone sviconfig error
One of our VM's in View always ends up in error provisioning (missing) state. We removed the VM from ADAM database. The VM is removed from the vCenter. But when I tried to remove the VM's entry in View Composer database using SviConfig, it throws me this error -
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware View Composer>SviConfig -operation=RemoveSv
iClone -VmName=vmachine1 -AdminUser=administrator -AdminPassword=*******
Get clone ID.
Remove linked clone.
SviConfig finished with an error. Exit code: 4
VMware.Sim.Fault.VcObjectN
Our environment is vCenter 4.1, View 4.6 and View Composer 2.6.
Any ideas?

1. Go to the pool : disable provisioning in the pool.
2. Go to the ADAM database: delete the CN entry.
3. Go to Composer database -> Tables
dbo.SVI_COMPUTER_NAME - Edit top 200 - Find VM & Delete it.
dbo.SVI_VM_NAME - Edit top 200 - Find VM & Delete it.
dbo.SVI_SIM_CLONE - Edit top 200 - look for the VM name & copy the parent string file on a notepad.
Take the 1st part of the copied string (CN Number).
dbo.SVI_SC_PDISK_INFO - edit top 200 - Ran query select top 500* to find the VM name and delete its entry.
