Explanation:
A profile contains configuration settings that you can apply to a new virtual machine template or virtual machine. The following table lists the types or profiles that you can create in System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
A Virtual Machine Manager template provides a standardized group of hardware and software settings that can be used repeatedly to create new virtual machines configured with those settings. In Library view in the Administrator Console, you can use the New template action to open the New Template Wizard used to create a virtual machine template.
Although you can use a number of methods to create a template, you cannot create a template that does not include an operating system. Virtual Machine Manager supports the use of either Windows Server
2003 or Windows 2000 Server. If you want to create a virtual machine with a blank virtual hard disk on which you install an operating system later, you must use the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
