Explanation:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do? language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015180 Quiescing doesn’t allow you to capture a powerstate – the snapshot does that… Quiescing only affect applications in I/O within the VM. This is why if you snapshot a VM that is running without VMware tools it will snapshot but can also break the VM. For example try snapshotting active directory VM without VMware tools. Eventually it will break it if won’t the first time.
