Applying a host profile fails with the error: Resource group host/user/pool<id> not found on system (2017951)

This issue can occur when:

There are resource pools on the vCenter Server
The host profile is created on a host where virtual machines are residing
The host profile has a folder called host/user/pool<id> that does not exist on another host

You can resolve this issue by:

To modify the host profile:

Log in to the vCenter Server via the vSphere Client.
Navigate to Home > Management > Host Profiles.
Select the host profile and click Edit Profile.
Expand the host profile and navigate to Resource Pool.
Expand Resource Pool, right-click the folder /host/user/pool<id> and click Remove Profile.
Click OK.

To create a host profile from a host that does not have any virtual machines:

Note: This profile will not have the /host/user/pool<id> folder.

Log in to the vCenter Server via the vSphere Client.
Navigate to Home > Management > Host Profiles.
Click Create Profile, select Create Profile from existing host and click Next.
Select the host and click Next.
Enter a name for the host profile and click Next > Finish.
