2. Click Import Template, which will then bring up the Import Package Wizard.

3. On the wizard's select page, do the following:

a. Find the location of the package to import by clicking Browse in Package Path.

b.

Select the XML file you need.

There is an Import Sensitive Template Settings check box that you may select
if you need to do so; otherwise, the references can be updated later during the
actual import.

4. After making your selections, click Next, and if the Import Sensitive Template
Settings box was selected, a Password dialog box opens.

5. Enter the encryption password used during export of the template and click OK.

6. When the Configure References page appears, enter a name for the service template in
the Name box. Note that if the reason for the import is restoration of the template, then
the name should probably be kept the same.

7. There is a Release box that also needs to be filled in, so put in the release value for
the template. Again, if you're doing a restoration, it would be easier to track if the
release value remains the same.

8. If you did not select Import Sensitive Template Settings earlier, this would be the
time to review the list of logical and physical resource references in the service
template and determine any missing resources.

Missing resources will show up in the resource list as having a current mapping
value of None. The most common missing resources are virtual disks and logical
networks. Upon update, Current Mapping Value displays the current resource.

9. When you're finished, click Next.

10. On the summary page, review your settings and selections and then click Import.

You can then verify if the import was successful.

11. Go to the Jobs workspace and check for a “job completed successfully” status, or
alternatively, go to the Library workspace, expand the Templates pane, and check if
the name of the recently imported template is there with a Status value of OK.

Installing Guest Tools
