On a small new installation of Vmware View 5.1 we had problems when creating linked clone pools.
It is a lab install on SATA disk and cloning takes about 70 minutes.
It always finished with an error "Connection Server - View Composer Fault: VC operation exceeded the task timeout limit of 0 mins set by the View Composer for <VM instance>"
So after googling a lite bit I founf some post on Vmware communities that solved the problem.

Thanks to hettefagh I could solve my problem.
Here you can read the solution:
1. Stopped the View Composer service.
2.
Made a backup copy of C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware View Composer\SviWebService.exe.config and saved in the same folder.
3. Edited the SviWebService.exe.config and changed the line
<VirtualCenter PropertyCollectorTimeout="60" />
to read
<VirtualCenter PropertyCollectorTimeout="60" VcTaskTimeout="90" />
4. Saved the change and restarted Composer. Confirmed the service is running again without error.
