Cannot find host group on one of my laptops.

Laptop computer A and B are on the same wireless network. which means that they are on a home network, called Adam, which allows each of them to connect to the interwebs.

Now A laptop has created a group of home and allows all files to share but notebook b cannot see this laptop even if the PORTABLE A and b have both run windows 7, both are on the same home network and both clocks are synchronized with each other until the last second.

both machines are on discovrable, BUT b PC cannot join the mobile home A group instead, they "create a group" even if we should have the join...

How can I fix it? Adrien... What?

Hi Adrien_,
 
 
Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!

You can try temporarily disabling the Firewall

 
Follow the steps below and check if that helps:

 
Homegroup
Homegroup in Windows 7 will simplify the tasks related to the sharing of music, images and documents within your home network and Windows 7 PCs. homegroup allows also to share your printers USB connected, if you have a printer in the living room that is shared by the homegroup, it will be automatically installed on your other homegroup active computers joined to a domain PCs. can be part of a homegroup too.

Create your homegroup
As soon as you set up your network, Windows 7 invites you to select the type of location. Once you select Home Network, Windows 7 will start to apply the necessary settings for your new network.

The wizard of home group then you will invite to create your homegroup and choose what to share in your homegroup.

The wizard then generates a password that can be used to add other computers to your homegroup.

Your new homegroup is now created and your photos, music, videos, printers folders are ready to be shared with other computers when they join the homegroup. Are these files - music, videos, printers, photo - call your libraries in Windows 7. Don't forget, we have not yet shared any files as such. Only network shares have been created so far.

Join the homegroup
When your other computer is connected to the same network where you created the homegroup (above), Windows 7 prompts you to you that there is a homegroup available to join.

Once you choose to join, Windows 7 will provide you with information about the residential group on your network

Click Join now to join your homegroup. You will be asked to enter the homegroup password that was generated during the creation of this homegroup

Enter the password will allow you to join the homegroup and choose what you want to share

Welcome to your homegroup!

Display in your homegroup
You can find your homegroup in the Explorer Navigation pane (left side of the Explorer). Just click on the Windows Explorer icon in the superbar and it will open your libraries.

You can put all the files in the libraries and share with your homegroup. Its as simple as that!

Media Player will automatically search your homegroup for music and will add the files to the Media Player library. You can also search in the libraries of your homegroup by using the Explorer search feature.

What happens if I forget my password of created homegroup?
Yes, the password generated by the wizard is difficult to remember (being complex and safe) and you would like to see your password whenever you forgot. Windows 7 allows you to display or print your password even after the creation of the homegroup in the residential group options.

You can find your home group options in the network and sharing Center, or just type "homegroup" (without the quotes) in your Start menu.

Residential group was certainly designed to be easy and he remains faithful to his promise - an approach of end to end easy to share in your home!

Please keep in mind that the homegroup only works with Windows 7 machines and it does not support Vista or XP.

    Hello

    The files should still be there if you can log in with an account Admin look in C:\Users
    (Where C: is the drive where user profiles are what is C: by default).

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. Also the ADMINISTRATOR account of
    Safe mode has no password by default unless someone has changed.

    Other methods:

    Use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK then go back
    and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the same for others
    accounts that may be difficult. If necessary you can also reset your password in the accounts.
    Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

  • VM appearing as invalid - cannot find a host to turn

    Hi people.

    I have a good size ESX cluster, with about 20 guests and Enterprise Plus licensing. I recently did a power down/up to my full and all installation, but a handful of VMS is returned properly. About 5 of my virtual machines came as "Invalid", and if I try to turn it on, I get the error message "cannot find a Web host to turn on/off the virtual machine.

    Here's what I tried. I work with one of them now, assuming that once I have found the silver bullet for the first, the rest will be the same.

    -Just remove the virtual machine to inventory and add it again (no change)

    -Remove and adding it to another cluster (no change)

    -Withdrawal, adding to a different cluster and the pool of different resources (no change)

    Other virtual machines in the same data store, on the same host and on the same resource pool came without any problem. I'm looking in the vmware.log in the data store file and the last thing I see in there is the virtual machine stop before my power cycle.

    I checked my alarms/settings on my real hosts and I can say that this is not a HA question, but I'm definitely over my head here. As the current failover is 9 armies and configured failover ability is defined on a single host.

    The virtual machine itself is a simple configuration with 2 VCPU and 4 GB of ram, and the cluster on that I try to start it has 10 hosts, 80 processors and 600 GB of RAM.

    I don't know what to try next. I can't change the settings when I add the virtual machine itself - the setting isn't there. (All I have is a power on button, basically)

    Any ideas would be really appreciated. I am a relative novice and I am trying to troubleshoot a production environment, best I can without breaking anything.

    Thank you!

    In this case, you will need to either connect to the console or via SSH and change the virtual machine's .vmx file permission of "- rwxr - xr - x" running

    755 #chmod CAL - GW - ARCSIGHT1.vmx
