Command for delete (and recreate) LinkClones every night
It is more a matter of health mental-check!
Our automated clones link have value REFRESH on logoff.
However, we would like to recreate the link clones each night so that the quickprep script runs (as the script performs some special actions, we want that every day).
What command effectively removes a desk If nobody is logged on? Once removed, the pool automatically create a new office to bring about the desired level, and this new office would go quickprep.
Is the Send-LinkedCloneRecompose order of the best way to get what I want?
$POOLID = MYPOOLNAME
$parentVMPath = get-pool-Pool_id $POOLID | Select - enlarge parentVMPath
$parentVMSnapshotPath = get-pool-Pool_id $POOLID | Select - enlarge parentVMSnapshotPath
Get-pool-Pool_id $POOLID | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRecompose - ParentVMPath $parentVMPath ParentSnapshotPath - $parentVMSnapshotPath - annex ((Get-Date).) AddHours (1)) -forceLogoff $false - stopOnError $true
Our office is available 24 hours and, although more quiet during the night, still define the task on logoff and ensure that X number of machines is always available at any time.
Just update,
Script created with plugins views and VC PS.
- Create new snapshot
- Remove the old snapshot
- Redial the new snapshot
All the work as expected.

synonyms cannot be recompiled when arrays are deleted and recreated?
Hello
I have a synonym pointing to a table.
(1) when I remove and recreate a table...
is it not enough to recompile the synonym? I have to drop the synonym as well and re-create again?
(2) when I add new columns to a table synonym also will appear the new column?
Thanks in advance
REDAYour first question is answered below. You can see the synonym didn't need to be re-created or compiled or whatever it is.
Your second question... synonyms is not the columns. Thinking of views instead of SYNONYMS?

'HP_Tools' to delete and recreate it as a logical partition
Hello! I have to do some operations on the hard disk partitions. Now, I have 4 primary partitions: System, the partition with Win7, recovery and HP_Tools. I need an another primary partition, and I don't want to remove the HP_Tools! That's my idea:
1. create an image of 'system' of the operating system on DVD and remove recovery;
2. create a HP_Tools image and delete it.
3. create an extended partition. Create a logical partition and then restore HP_Tools inside.
Thus, HP_Tools will keep its functions? Or it may not work correctly as a logical partition?
Thank you
Davide
Yes, you can create the recovery kit, and then remove the recovery Partition. Here is the link that has the steps to create and then how to use them in the future:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01895783
You can remove the HP tools partition and create it on a flash drive or USB key. Here is the link that will help you download the utility that will help you recreate HP tools partition on the disk on the flash drive or hard:

After deletion and recreation vdmk vm file will be not turn on
I went into the store database and deleted a second virtual disk that I created a server (file vdmk). Now when I try to poweer on the server, I got the error failed to open the disk ' / vmfs/volumes/4f5f4624-4be43ce3-bdbd-047d7b415b9b/servername.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
I am under an esx environment 5. The virtual machine is a W2K8 R2 Server with two virtual drives. I checked the management of snapshots and there are no snapshots. I scoured the data store and sees not all duplicate files or additional files referencing the virtual disk in question. Any ehelp would be apprecaited.
The two entries are pointing to the same virtual disk, just so remove disks from the hardware list without deleting the files on the disc.

Hello. I'll try to make it as short as possible. I'm under the program every night. Currently I have version 21, which came out today. But since last week, with the 20 version, I noticed something. Whenever I downloaded something, tried to open the Download Manager, or press Ctrl + J, the Download Manager, we all know did not appear. Instead, the 'library' appears. I don't want to see the library, because it is not 'pretty' as a normal Download Manager. In addition, under Options, under general, downloads, the ability to select where to save the files is missing. Under Security, I don't see my saved passwords. Why all these things "missing"? I did something I wasn't supposed to? Is - will this work for an addon? I left my information below for you everything you need to know. Please, help me?
The library is where downloads are now displayed. The 'normal' downloads window disappeared for several weeks now in every night. BTW, there's a new toolbar (arrow pointing down) button in the Palette for downloads; It has a "door hangers" which shows the current downloads on the slider "stationary."
This is the main "issues" on the left side of the Library window.

Impossible to upgrade every night
Downloaded nightly and ran 28 all night (November 25, 2013). When the computer reboots, nightly crashes, collects and sends the report. Then, I have ran Windows Add/Remove and uninstalled every night, but kept the profiles, bookmarks, etc.. Rebooted computer (Dell Inspiron 1090. Win 7 Home Premium, 1 SP) and accidents still every night. He opens the window to select one of the four profiles then gives the message that it stops, I want to send the report. So, I ran uninstall it this time remove all. Then I ran a registry cleaner and restarted and install nightly run. This time, of course, he did not ask what profile to run but instead went directly to the accident exposed behavior previously, nightly can't run, stop, I restart or stop, send a report, etc.. So I restored my computer to an earlier state, 21 November 2013 and am now able to run the program, but my four profiles went along my bookmarks, addons, etc. I reinforced profiles and bookmarks before trying to update and registration of the addons and plugins.
Help, please.
john99, feer56 and cor - el.
Problem solved. Here's what I did:
Finished restore profiles with browser open normally, not in safe mode to see if it would work as expected.
Open every evening and clicked on search for updates
Downloaded 34.8 MB
Restart the browser to update
Opens the compatibility check
Default profile opens without asking which profile
Now running 28.0a1
Verification of the other three profiles
Profile of stealth opens in a separate process
Profile of banks opens in a separate process
Google profile will open in a separate processEverything seems to be intact. Interesting exercise, but I do not know why it did not work without restoring the computer to the State in which it was November 21. In this case, even once, that I'll use as recommended safe mode above. Thank you.

Delete and re-create a Service profile using the same address (HBA WWNP) WWNP pool
Hi guys,.
I have 8 services created profiles used by esxi boot via SAN. The cause is via SAN boot is very important for me the address of WWNP HBA.
Now, I need to change the model vNIC used in these services profiles to include the option of the VM in the target.
But for this I have to delete and recreate the model vNIC.
I think that the UCS will not allow me to that I have unlink and delete the profiles of 8 services (I may be wrong)
My question is.
After I deleted a service profile, what is the best way to ensure that new services profile will be used the same address (HBA)
used by the deleted profile service. ?
Thanks in advance,
My best regards,
Hey,.
I don't know why you need to remove the 8 SPs when changes (deletion) are on the vnic/HBA model.
Address WWNP is being derived from a pool? right?
What is the order of assignment? Default or sequential
is this specific to only those 8 servers WWPN pool?
I did a quick test when I remove model HBA he doesn't remove the vHBAs configured in MS.
Thank you

How to reset the OpenLDAP service that has been marked for deletion
Hello
I installed Shared Services, Essbase and planning in my PC. After installing it, I went to the services screen. I found that the OpenLDAP service was with the status 'Started' and 'Disabled'. When I try to change the status of the "Disabled" to "Automatic" or "Manual" function, I get an error "the specified service has been marked for deletion". If I tried to stop the service, the service disappears from the list of services. I am constantly confronted this question even if I tried to reinstall all the modules. Can someone tell me how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
ChavignyHello
I guess after it has been marked for deletion and you restart then the service is removed?
I don't know what version you are but to 9.3.1 again, create OpenLdap service
Open a cmd prompt to the directory
*\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3.1\openLDAP*
and type: -.
slapd.exe install OpenLDAP-slapd 'Hyperion S9 OpenLDAP'

I also never created a backup for my favorites =)
If you selected the option to uninstall for ' delete my data personal nightly and customizations ", you deleted all your Firefox data. There is no real difference between Firefox versions and pre-release - Beta, Aurora builds and every night. This "option" will remove the entire Firefox profile folderset in App Data. It is not a discrimination between the different versions of Firefox, a user may have installed. In addition, unless you have created a new profile for use specifically with the Nightly version, every night would use the same profile that you used with Firefox (final version).
Sorry for your loss of data. I used this 'option' when I was testing the beta of Firefox 3.0, when this option was introduced. I had a similar loss of all my data from Firefox, but for me it was 6 profiles for different versions of Firefox, I ran right here.
I filed a bug report on "destructive" how this option was, but all that's happened is that the 'warning' was written a little more strongly.
-
where is the awesome bar for every night?
I need to see and to be able to copy the url - search is nice but not necessary, because I find on my homepage (protopage) and of course the startup page every night.
Please note that the Nightly of Firefox version is for test and development purposes. It is not recommended to use these versions for regular use because they may have some security or functionality problems.
