ack... restored snapshot and didn't want to.

Post by drsilk »

I always keep one snapshot. I accidentally clicked the X on the whole virtual machine which gives me the dialog to power off. I hit OK on that. What I didn't know is that by default it had checked the restore snapshot checkbox. So now when I boot the vm i am booting the relatively old snapshot which seems to have lost my domain information.
Is there anyway to undo that restore snapshot?

I didn't lose any data restoring the snap so I just recreated computer domain account and am moving on with my life. stinks that checkbox is checked by default.
