• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

  There is no difference running Oracle in a virtualized environment or on a box. For the performance gain, the same number of steps are necessary as normally are required. Read the guide to performance optimization of Oracle doc site corresponding to your version of db http://tahiti.oracle.com.

• Synchronization problems with the clean install

  Hello.

  Is it possible to push the content of my iPhone to my computer? (and not the other way around)

  Recently, I did a clean install on my Mac Pro and trying to get everything in working order. I got a load of music and voice notes on my iPhone that I don't want to lose, but the only way iTunes will allow me to manage the content of my phone is erasing all the content on my phone to sync to the 'new' library

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  A new installation of the operating system shouldn't have deleted personal data files unless you want to say that you have done more than a "clean install". You do not install the data files.  Looks like that erase you the iTunes library file and it was a big mistake because it is towards this specific copy of the file iTunes Library.itl that tries to sync your phone.

  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer from a device. The exception is media to iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

  Re-download or transfer your purchases iTunes Store for the iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

  To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

  If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

  To see other items: import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT201302 - are those you have taken yourself.

• Help with a clean install of W7 upgrade DVD on SSD student.

  A 32-bit Vista running, upgrading to 64 - bit by doing a clean install on another drive (SSD).  It works fine, except that the old man is still "System" drive and I can't start with the SSD as boot drive.  And when I boot the old disk I have the option to load Vista or W7.

  I'm confused on what actually the upgrade disc.  Do I have some of the Vista on the SDS files to get W7 to install correctly - or is a new installation, a clean install?  I guess I'm looking at another facility (~ 6 hrs.) because I don't have my drive correctly partitition or something.

  I've never had this problem before loading a new OS.  I don't know if it's the SSD, the upgrade method used or old age which is the cause of my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

  Hello

  El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

  I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

  This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

  Best regards

  Make your own installer from El Capitan flash drive using the El Capitan tool:

  Be sure to save the installer in the downloads before installation folder, otherwise it will be deleted once the installation is complete.

  You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

• Please specify: can I make Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64 bit) for $40 with a clean install?

  Hiya!

  Looking to upgrade, but I don't want to upgrade in the usual way. I want a clean install.

  I don't want to format the HARD drive and install from scratch. I might even want to buy a SSD and install Windows 8 on my new SSD.

  Basically, is there a way to only pay $40, but get to install it properly?

  Is this ok? He's trying to force me to buy the OEM version?

  How does it work?

  Oh, also, I'm in England so I'll use the UK (£25) version rather than the American version, but it's the same I think.

  I was wondering if it will not work properly or if I have to buy the OEM version, because it does not recognize that I have had Windows 7 originally.

  See you soon!

  Select keep anything during installation is to do a clean install:

  

  Besides being able to keep your Windows settings and personal files, you can keep your personal files too during the upgrade to Windows 7. If you choose No, Windows 8 place your files in a folder named Windows.old. You can delete the Windows.old folder

  How to reinstall Windows 8

  You have two options:

  If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

  Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

  Option 2:

  If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  Option 3:

  A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

  See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

  (references Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8).

• Install Vista as virtual machine

  
  

  • I recently bought a complete sales of Windows 7 install Microsoft. Is it possible to install this on my Toshiba and legally install Vista (currently installed in Toshiba OS system) as a virtual machine. I guess that since Vista provided with the laptop (no drive included), it can not remove and reinstall as a virtual machine, but any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

  I would say no, for two reasons.  First of all, the copy of Vista is allowed to the original computer, not to a virtual machine; Secondly, because it is an OEM copy and probably in the form of system restore disks, there quite probably locked to the BIOS of the original machine and the virtual machine does not contain the correct ID so it doesn't settle not in any case.
