Can I change the uuid.location and uuid.bios by vCLI command?

Can I change or generate the uuid.location and uuid.bios by vCLI command? Or I have to use the VMware API function?

When I copied a virtual machine, in the menu "Question Answer", I have to choose "I copied it". Then I looked at the VM1.vmx and found only the uuid.location, uuid.bios and the ethernet0.generatedAddress have been changed. I can manually change them?

Thank you very much.

The UUID is generated automatically just, it is not recommended that you change it yourself. If you want a particular fault that you keep or change it, you can add the following .vmx such as specified by this VMware KB - params http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1541

The MAC address can be changed, but you must make sure that you follow VMware Yes 00:50:56, this is a VMware KB with details - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/507

    If a MacBook Pro RAM and drvie hard can be modified/improved depends on the submodel and we do not know yours. There are dozens of variations of the MacBook Pro issued since 2006, and you do not want guessing us!

  • Change the uuid (bios.uuid) to a virtual computer

    Hello

    I tried to change the UUID of this way:

    var UUIDlog = vcVM.config.uuid;
    System.log("UUID at the moment: " + UUIDlog);
    System.log("UUID to set : " + UUIDnew);
    vcVM.config.uuid = UUIDnew;
    var UUIDcontrol = vcVM.config.uuid;
    System.log("UUID after change: " + UUIDcontrol);

  • How can I change the default location on Windows Photo and Scanner Wizard for registration?

    I have a machine that would save photos from an SD card in a folder the same name as the group by the name of photos. That is to say: I want to save a group of images as "Puppyxx", where "xx" is a sequential number appended to the file in the wizard. In the past, the wizard would create a folder called "Puppy" and put all the photos with the same group name in the folder of the puppy. Now, it is dumping all the photos at the root of the "My pictures" folder I'll have to go and manually move the images. We had a problem week last with server space and had to change the wizard to download the pictures on the C:\ drive rather than on the document server. How do I go about changing the default behavior of the registration wizard so that all I have to do is provide a group name, and the wizard name files properly and place them in the appropriate folder?

    Hello Geekgirl34,

    In the wizard, you can specify a folder, rename batch of images, etc.  I do believe however, that the wizard will automatically make a new folder.  You should see "options" or "advanced options", when importing photos.  You can create your new folder and change the name of the worksheet.

    See you soon

  • How can I change the default location to save to SD card?

    I was looking for an answer in the forum, but nothing helped. Anyone knows how to save SD location and not the internal memory?

    I think that it worked for most users:

    (1) open a new tab to Subject: config (type about: config the Awesomebar and hit the arrow go or tap Enter).

    You can bookmark it for easy future access.

    (2) on the search line, type down and make a pause while Firefox filter list

    3 scroll to browser.download.folderList and tap to display the editing controls. Change the value from 1 to 2 (from 'by default always' to the 'last used folder').

    (3) press the big "+" above the list to add a new parameter

    (A) from the right side, you see "Boolean" type who and change to "String".

    (B) the name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this option stores the last used directory)

    (C) the value is based on the folder you want. For example:

    /sdcard/FxDown
    

    Then click on create.

    If you go back to your other tab and download something, it should go to the new folder.

    Success?

  • How can I change the download location of the C: drive to the D: drive, I have both on my pc, windows 7 i3

    Thanks, Debi

    Hi Deborah,

    You use Internet Explorer to access the Web sites?

    Perform the following steps to change the location of the download folder, if you are using Internet Explorer 9.

    a. open Internet Explorer 9.

    b. click the gear icon in the upper right corner, then click on discovers downloads.

    NOTE: Alternatively, you can press CTRL + J instead.

    c. click the link Options .

    d. click on the Browse button.

    e. navigate to and select the folder you want IE9 to use as the default download location, and then click the button Select a folder .

    f. click on OK.

    g. click on Close.

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    Perform a Disk Cleanup and check if a space is done in the C drive.

  • I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. How can I change the user name and password?

    A few months ago, I gave a comuter the person who owned it died. The window indicates Micrsoft Window XP Professional-HP. My problem is that I do not have access on behalf of users and password. What should I do?

    Hello

    Many on this forum suggests that when you "inherit" a PC, you should do a clean install of Windows to delete the unwanted "baggage" that the previous owner has left behind. For example (but not limited to) viruses and criminal and illegal downloads. Such a procedure will reset all the passwords anyway. The PC may have a factory reset mechanism still intact. Visit the manufacturer website for more information, or we do know the number of brand, range and model of your PC for assistance.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  • How can I change the network settings and air play setting up the itunes which is running on my laptop (windows 10)

    A few weeks ago, I was streaming of photos to my TV using my apple TV. Now, whenever I try to play music in my laptop itunes I get the error message "the airplay APPLETV device is not available," he goes on to say "Please check your airtime... configuration and network settings. "I searched for days for these parameters.

    Now the itunes on my laptop has no audio data.

    The only way I can hear the track I'm playing, is to select the option at the foot of the error message that says "use this computer for now" - this gets quite annoying after awhile!

    any suggestions?

    Thank you.
