I had an issue recently where I could not edit the hardware of one of my VMware templates.  I would convert the template to a virtual machine, and upon trying to edit its hardware I received this error message “Call “PropertyCollector.RetrieveContents” for object “propertyCollector” on vCenter Server “” failed.”

Once upon a time ESX didn’t support connecting USB devices, however with later versions of ESX (i think from 4.1?) there is now the option to add USB devices to a guest. You can do this by following these steps.
