Activation of Windows still necessary even if the virtual server on the same hardware to restore

Hello, I hope someone can answer this.

Our virtual machine running vmware server ESX 3i 3.5.0 has 2 hard drives, datastore1 and datastore2.   All of our virtual servers are stored in datastore2.   Our hard disk with the datastore2 crashed and he had to be replaced.    We have backups of our virtual servers in datastore2 virtual appliance.

To solve the problem, we replaced the hard drive crashed and then restored by using the virtual appliance backups, once restored, we noticed that the Windows 2008 requires that the activation of the licenses.

My question is why does windows need activation when we restored the virtual server for the same hardware? The only thing that has changed is the hard drive.

Thanks for any help on this issue.

Export/import unfortunately OVFs does not have an option (at least I'm not aware) to maintain these settings. What you can do - when exporting the virtual machine as an OVF - also download the machine virtual . VMX and .vmxf files. After re - import the OVF, remove it the ESXi host inventory, download the two * .vmx files and add the virtual machine to inventory. -Once asked if you copied or moved the VM on the first power-select "I moved it.

  • Disabling a Windows Firewall which is on the same domain of the remote computers.

    Hello world

    I have a Windows Firewall client machine is activated, preventing me from rattling of the machine or by connecting remotely. The user logged on to this computer doesn't have permissions to disable the firewall. How would turn off the firewall on the computer on my side?

    The machine runs Windows XP and is on the same domain as my pc.

    Thank you

    I think I found the solution:

    First, you must obtain the correct name of the service, apparently the display name of the service is not the actual service name.

    SC getkeyname "Windows Firewall"

    This gave me the correct name for the service, "mpssvc.

    I then ran the new commandment:

    SC \\computername stop mpssvc

    This service order.

  • How to use the platform of character even in the same scene several backgrounds without looping the platform of character chronology

    How to use the platform of character even in the same scene several backgrounds without looping chronology of the platform of character? Is it still possible without having to do the scene with another background on another file? To better explain the situation, I have a flash file which has a background and a rig which passes to another context and drilling on another layer and keyframe, but when I go back to the previous background and chronology of this drilling rig repeats, rather than leave, you are doing a new time for this platform. Do I need more than one file?

    In order to reuse assets to animate, you need to duplicate each symbol in the scene who will be the new animation. So, copy and paste the stage on a new layer, right-click on it and select double symbol, then double-click inside the symbol and select each symbol that is going to change, so that the background and the rigging and also select symbol duplicated for those files as well. usually, when I animation I do not use the main platform in the scenes, duplicate as 'Guy1_sc 1', then place it in the scene so that the path I never uses the master file. 'Guy1_sc 2' is a different file. Also if you lipsync and stalled the head separately you will need to reproduce, so, for each scene, is also unique. I hope this makes sense.

  • You can use the activity tracker and an application running at the same time?

    I've been running just with my watch and the Apple activity tracker.

    But I wanted to calibrate so tonight I ran with my iPhone, too.

    I tried to use the Nike + and the PPP of activity both starting on my watch. I ran with the application of the activity on the screen.

    When I did I stopped the activity app and went to the Nike + app, but it was stopped.

    Then can you run the application of activity and a different running application at the same time. Or do you need to start another app on your phone and activity on your watch?

    Thank you all

    Hello

    To save your route at the same time apps, save the workout using the application of the workout on your Apple Watch (early check it there first) and also through the application of Nike + running on your iPhone.

    Monitoring of your training via the integrated application of the watch workout will cause your heart rate to be monitored at all times for the duration of your workout.

    The app Nike + running cannot currently access heart rate monitor watch directly, but if I read the heart rate data of the health on the iPhone app, it will always be able to access - indirectly - the same heart rate for your exercise data:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of health, press Sources (tab) > Running > turn on Allow 'Running' to read heart rate data.

  • I sent 2 SMS to the iPhone even from the same location 1 hour out. Why I was charged for the second message, but not the first?

    I sent 2 SMS on the phone even in the same place 1 hour apart. I was charged for the second message, but not the first. Why charge me? I was under the impression that the messages sent between iPhones are free?

    I was under the impression that the messages sent between iPhones are free?

    It's a little more complicated than that.

    If the message is sent as an iMessage (blue) uses the data that could be part of your cellular data allowance or WiFi depending on what you are connected to. If it is sent as SMS (green) it takes however your carrier charges you for SMS.

    For a message to be sent in an iMessage, both parties need to have a device capable of iMessage (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Mac), iMessages allowed to have (settings > Messages > iMessage > on) and be connected to the data (Wifi or cellular).

  • In Windows 7 Action Center, MSE, and Windows Defender convertible 'ON' at the same time?

    In the center of Action of Windows 7, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is enabled.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender 'manually' and get a status of "OFF"OBSOLETE"? that quickly toggles back and forth

    I'm trying to maximize my options "malicious."  I have NOT tried turning 'OFF' MSE to see if Windows Defender will be 'ON '.

    My real question is, can MSE and Windows Defender, being 'ON' at the same time or are mutually?

    A "full scan" using MSE detected the following malicious program "trojan:Win32 / Tracur.AV". I immediately deleted it. I think it's GONE!

    My "quick" weekly scans did not detect this malware. What a scare on my new laptop TOSHIBA P750.

    Now I take the time 'always' do a full scan.

    Help

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, there is no need to use Windows Defender. You can disable that and just let Microsoft Security Essentials run things.

    You should only use an antivirus program. using several programs at the same time will cause problems.

    Please refer to this link:
