Creating a virtual desktop collection

I am trying to create a virtual desktop collection from a template (The template is Server 2012 standard edition) created in hyper v but am getting the following error


"The virtual desktop template does not meet the provisioning requirements."

Any ideas?

How does that work with SPLA licencing though?
i guess i'm curious why would you do vdi with a server os?

As i have been told that spla licencing is only through server os and you have to skin the server os to be like the desktop os.
correct
the only thing i can think of to make this work is go for a different license model to use a desktop os with vdi - which of course may not be an option in your situation
in looking around there is a fair amount of discussion around lack of licensing clarity with desktop os vdi with spla and no direct workaround

unless someone else here has a suggestion...

After much research I found that you can create the collection with server os but have to use unmanaged.
