VSphere Client not allowing export of OVF template

exportovfvmware-vsphere

I have a vm that I can access via vSphere Client and Remote Desktop (RDC). It is a Windows Server 2003 image. I am trying to export it locally via menu option OVF Template option. The option is unfortunately grayed out.

enter image description here

In what circumstances would this occur?

The server is powered down.

Can snapshots exist?
