Exception: pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument: (vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument) {
E dynamicType = ,
E dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
E msg = 'A specified parameter was not correct: ',
E faultCause = ,
E faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [],

It works on another template, a Windows10 one, but the windows7 template just doesn't seem to like it for some reason, exact same code too..
