I created a custom Windows VM in Xenserver 6.5. I took a snapshot and used the snapshot to create a template that can be used for future reference. Is it possible to delete the VM I used to create the template or will that impact my ability to use the template?

Afaik, yeah, if there's a full-sized VM template, you can delete the original VM and a snapshot.

However, there's an article on Citrix DB, that confirms this info: https://docs.citrix.com/de-de/xencenter/6-1/xs-xc-vms-snapshots/xs-xc-vms-snapshots-newtemplate.html

    Thank you for the information. I took a backup of the VM so I'll try deleting it and the snapshot and see what kind of impact it has on the template. – jrd1989 Jan 10 '17 at 16:07
