Automatic installation using KS.cfg

I created the KS.cfg file using the GUI installation. I want to be able to install this for about 20 ESX host. I am familiar where to modify the partition information and server name and IP address for each server. My question is to know how to add this to the installation on USB it will not because it's a server blade at the remote location. Installation will be done remotely through the ILO. I saw where someone suggested inserting this ISO file with magic ISO. How would this work for 20 servers since I assume that your will need a KS.cfg file for each server. Also, what people add to the post installation script? NTP Config, Virtual Switch configuration, configuration of firewall?

Thank you

So if I have 20 ESX host I have to inject 20 KS.cfg files into ISO and choose which on startup?

Indeed, all 20 must be injected into the ESX installation media.  Mounting the isolinux.cfg lets just arrow down to them.  Very easy installation.

  • RT2870 automatic installation service has reported an invalid current state 0.

    This is my first posting, so be gentle with me

    I discovered that each Windows session seems to result in a record of the event (Event ID 7016) with the description Viewer:

    RT2870 automatic installation service has reported an invalid current state 0.

    I understand that maybe it's something to do with my broadband connection or USB wireless adapter Tenda I should use, but as a non-techie, I'm not really sure.   And I do not know what is the function auto-install RT2870 function is supposed to have to pay.

    Can someone explain how I can deal with the error, please

    Thanks TwoPointOh.

    As the error messages appear do not indicate a problem serious or critical, I'll follow your suggestions at your leisure.

  • Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

    My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Installation/use issues

    I recently bought the all-in-one above and connected on a Windows XP system.  I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 and the unit seems to work fine but I have a few questions about its programme of installation/use.

    1. on my old computer, I remember having a 'manual' on the computer.  This doesn't seem to be available with the transition to the new system?  I tried to reload the software setup, but it said something like "system not supported"?  Is it possible to get this restored functionality?

    2. I see where it seems that there are new drivers for Windows 7 - if my 8500 does not work properly, is it interesting in the upgrade?

    3. I just tried to print checks (pre printed on paper) with Quicken 2010 for the first time with this new printer and when I go to print, the 'controls' are printed from the paper tray rather than the document feeder automatic where I white controls (when I put in the blank in the automatic documents feeder checks the display confirms insertion of the original ready to load or somesuch).  Sort of designate after checks taken from the ADF instead of paper tray?

    Thanks for any info.

    DexterM, did as you suggested and downloaded the package of 'complete the software' very large.  Exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you much for your able support; I really appreciate the help!

  • recently impossible to implement the automatic installation of updates for Windows 7

    * Back in July 2015, I was able to get updates for my computer which uses Windows 7 Home Premium.

    * In July 2015, in the center of the Action, that's what he said:

    Windows Update                                                                                            On

    Windows automatically installs updates as soon as they are available.

    * Today, January 15, 2016, I thought that I would see if there was the necessary updates as I had not seen any activity since July. In the center of maintenance that the formulation has changed, it is said now
    Currently unguarded Windows Update
              Enable messages on Windows Update
    * When I click 'Activate messages on Windows Update', a box appears at the top:
    Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator.
                 Turn off the messages on Windows Update
    * When I click on turn off messages on Windows Update. the box at the top goes.
    * I tried all afternoon know where to go to find the place where the system administrator (that's me) disabled the update of Windows, so I can enable / turn on.  NOTE: I don't know until it on computers knowingly do something like that.  I removed some Trojan virus in the past.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to get "Windows install updates as soon as they become available" again?   Thanks for your help :)

  • How to rename a data via command store during automatic installation

    Hi, the automatic installation of my servers esx and post script exec I wan't to rename the local data store to esx 3.5. I tried to find a solution here in communities and also tried the following commands

    • vimsh - n e "datastore/hostsvc / / rename oldname newname.

    • VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/datastore/rename oldname newname.

    but nothing happens when I use these commands and I get no error message.

    Anyone know what I am doing wrong and how can I rename local warehouses of data via command line?

    Thankx

    Frank

    We have a set of post scripts that are executed after the first reboot after the construction, by default the local data store must be named storage1

    You can do the following:

    ln -sf $(readlink -f /vmfs/volumes/storage1)  /vmfs/volumes/$(hostname -s)-local-storage
    

    or of any naming convention you want

  • Automatic provisioning using the access policy

    Hi all

    I have a resource I would have auto-mis in service to any user who meets the following criteria.

    1 UDF1 is a specific value.
    2 UDF2 contains a value.

    The only way I know how to do automatic provisioning uses an access that is associated with a group policy. And this group is automatically filled for members using one or more rules. However, I see a limitation with the rules that does not allow my second criteria. You can't have a rule where the value has a wild card. There is no work around for this?

    Thank you!

    Three options:

    1 adapter entity that affects the UDF 3rd in a value such as "UDF2 is empty. Change group membership rule to use 3rd UDF.
    2. switch to update the database tables where the rules are stored. Not recommended... but you can get the rules of priority in the speech empty or null.
    2. do not use Group membership rules, get users into groups (many resources). Access policy is based on groups so you don't lose it

  • How can I get the seeds a server certificate or a certificate using mozilla.cfg exception

    I work with mozilla.cfg and I would create a security certificate exception. I have the following functional
