Hi Samuel, What version of esxi are you running? Using the Debian 9 os type will make vmxnet3 the default nice type. If you Google vmxnet3 and Debian 9 there have been known issues with some esxi versions. One of the changes was to disable vgauth. You could try simply restarting it Systemctl start vgauth

I did a quick check. Added manual guestos "Debian 9 (64-bit)" and registered your template with this OS Type.

I think that I've got a fix. Could anyone who has had issues please test this alternative template.
