• I'm unable to locate the WORKSTATION. Where should I look?

  I'm unable to locate the WORKSTATION.  When I had windows 98 that was on my desktop but on my new computer, it is not and I don't know how to locate it.  I'm not computer savvy, so I would appreciate if possible very simple instructions.  Thank you kindly.

  In Vista, 'My Computer' is called 'computer '.  'My computer' no longer exists except as a junction file for backwards compatibility--a folder you will never need access to and shouldn't try again. Click Start (the ORB round to the left of the toolbar at the bottom) and look at the buttons on the right next to the screen.  We'll tell the computer.  Click on that no matter what you are in Windows Explorer at a very high level.  You can also click on your user name to go directly to your user profile, or you can click on Documents to go to your user documents.  You can check all the links on avialble at your leisure.

  If computer (or other default Windows desktop icons are missing, here is an article on how to recover: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/restore-missing-desktop-icons-in-windows-vista/.)

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Can not activate sharing / "unable to configure the workstation server.

  Everything was going well until I made the mistake of upgrading to 12.1.1 build-3770994 12.0 (?)

  For some reason any sharing became disabled after upgrade.

  I can't activate the sharing, I get "unable to configure the workstation server.

  Seems every time I've upgraded to VMWare Workstation, something breaks

  I had to moce the VMs shared virtual machines 'normal' so I could run them.

  I fixed it, uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same failure.

  I took a look at the downloaded files and datastores.xml is empty, which is a little weird.

• 11 - Win7 Guest Host Win8.1 - SLOW comments PRE-LAUNCH workstation

  Hello

  I'm new to vmware and used to work with VirtualBox.Guest on VirtualBox boot immediately when started.

  My host is running on a core AMD FX-8350 8 4.2 Ghz with 32 GB of ram and VDI are stored on a Samsung 850 PRO SSD.

  Whenever I start a guest with Win7, I get a black screen for couples of minutes THEN prompt boots at a normal pace.

  No idea what vmware did to 'prepare' the boot?

  (I read that vmware renaming "* debug*.exe" makes it faster.) Which I did and did not notice that many improvements)

  But if the guess is paused, then restarted - it's quick to get back running as expected.

  Thank you

  Suite to another thread on poor performance with 11 workstation

  I tried to move the comments of 11 to 10 Workstation workstation hardware compatibility...

  Bingo! Comments starts instantly and works currently with the best performance.

  There is something fishy with Workstation 11 or 11.1 virtual hardware...

  Bottom line - 11.1 workstation running invited Workstation 10 hardware compatibility seems to fix the problem.

• Pavilion Sleekbook 15 will display the menu boot usb. Restarts continuously.

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 (model: 15-b022es) in which I am tryig to install Linux.

  Since the day that I bought it, I was unable to boot anything directly via USB. I searched a lot on this subject, and the usual causes are order secure boot devices to boot, or Legacy Support options. This certainly isn't the case, since I tried all possible combinations. In fact, the exact symptoms that presents my laptop are not described anywhere I've found. What is:

  If I insert a USB drive into any port of the laptop, it makes the computer completely unable to boot. It is not that it freezes, it restarts again and again, but never goes beyond a black screen and make a few sounds HDD (usual start of sounds, nothing weird). In this State, with again inserted USB, I can access the configuration of the BIOS by pressing F10, but can't access devices (usually available at F9) Start menu, because pressing F9 just causes a new reboot.

  In the past I've accessed the start menu do not insert any USB and then pressing F9 then I walked into the USB port, entered and left some folder random to force a refresh of the display (and therefore show the USB) and finally selected my USB. It's a bit hacky and I can cease to apply this solution, as my HARD drive is now cleared and there is no file I can enter to refresh the screen and display the USB.

  Now the thing is: I can not install any operating system to my laptop if I can't boot from USB, so how can I do? For now, all I get are continuous resets the machine before you get to the boot menu.

  And what is the cause of all these resets? Maybe if I go out, I can imagine a way around this problem.

  Thanks for the quick reply, but this isn't the problem, I had already tried.

  I can handle the start menu until I do not start the computer with a USB stick inserted. If I insert one, it will prevent F9 to enter the boot menu, causing the machine to restart again indefinitely.

  However, after having tried everything I could think of (even different file formats in diferent USB drives and for different configurations of BIOS), I went paranoid and I tried with every USB that I have at home.

  I was able to start successfully with a Toshiba 8 GB fat32-formatted USB key (I tried with other pendrives fat32).

  So, finally, it seems to me that it is a bug in my computer EFI firmware. In the first place, the incomplatibility seems to be a bad transposition a standard on the side of various manufacturers of USB key or on the side of HP. But in any case, continuous restarts instead of an information on the error message (as happens for some other errors) seems to be a bug to me behavior.

• Reinstall the Workstation Service?

  Well, I've done all I can think about and I think I've hit a dead end.

  I can not get the workstation service (lanmanworkstation) to start. When I try to start the service manually, either through the service management or cmd > net start lanmanworkstation I get "error 2: cannot find the specified file.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the client for microsoft via my network connections networks, but he had no observable effect.

  If someone knows a way I can reinstall lanmanworkstaion service, I'd be much abliged.

  Hi Laharah,

  I suggest you try the following steps (ignore the steps that you have already tried).

  Step 1: Disable\uninstall the software security, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important: Enable\reinstall the back of security software once everything is done. You can check with the manufacturer of software security for the relocation and reactivation.

  Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) Scan  

  The System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

  (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  Step 3: Try to start the services dependencies

   

  Workstation service is based on the following services

   

  Browser support service

  Network store interface service

  Computer browser

  NET logon

  Configuration of remote desktop

  Make sure that the above services are started and set to automatic

  1. click on start-run, type services.msc, the, click OK.

  2. when the Services window loads, go to "Net logon service", double-click on it to open it.

  3 make sure that the "Startup Type" says "automatic"and has begun.» If it isn't, use the drop down menu to change.

  4. If he once said: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab in the upper part and replace the line "First failure" "Restart the Service", then click on ""apply ', then OK. "

   Follow the same steps to start other services

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows Media Player 11 - adding comments to the additional columns

  I used the column "Parental ratings" to put comments on the slopes, to add more information to allow the side to stars. But now Media Player will not accept comments more (all existing it stay there). Closing & re-opening WMP will not change that, nor made a stop and restart. Is it possible to allocate more memory to the comments (I guess that's the problem) or otherwise resolve this problem?

  Sometimes the songs come in WMP with sides half star values, for example 3½ stars, but they are not gold/yellow like those I add. Is it possible to add your own notes in half star increments?

  Exactly how you change the Parental ratings? Do you mean that you cannot change the Parental ratings for any song more, or that there is a limit to the amount of text you can enter into this area?

  I suggest that you use the custom 1 and custom 2 fields, these fields are more suited to the feedback from users.

  As far as I know, it is not possible to define your own ratings in half star increments.

• The computer hangs when connecting - if the workstation service is enabled.

  Original title: the computer crashes with workstation active service.

  I'm currently under Windows 7 Home Premium.

  I struggled to the login screen where you choose your user name and it says welcome, but nothing happens. Otherwise, my cursor will come back, but I can't do and ctrl-alt-del does not work either.

  I did safe mode, disabled services and isolated the problem to the workstation microsoft service. I understand that this workstation is essential for some components, such as connecting to a network drive, or a network printer.

  Now I have to work with workstation service disabled, and it's very inconvenient for my work. Is there a way around it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Were there any changes or updates made on the computer before the show?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  See also:

  The Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool helps remove specific malicious software and present on computers that are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=890830#FAQ

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2:

  I suggest to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  Create a user profile.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

  If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can screw the corrupted profile and re - install the applications and programs.

• Comments of the NAC Server replication

  I have reimagee one of our NAC comments 2 servers and I now want to restart replication.

  To set up replication using two comments Cisco NAC servers, the IP address of the remote server is configured on each server, and one of the following 2 options must be selected:

  "This node contains the data.

  "This node will copy the data of the other node.

  Is 'this node' the remote server or local server (where the configuration is done)?

  The initial replication is configured by putting one of the Cisco NAC comments servers to copy all the data from the other server of comments. The comment server that is configured to copy the data from the other device is first set to remove all its own data. This ensures that no conflict exists. Cisco recommends the introduction of replication during the initial installation of the server Cisco NAC comments, or when you add a new comment server to an existing implementation. Once one of host servers received a copy of the data from the other device, they are synchronized and replication is enabled. All data that are updated on a single server of comments are then automatically replicated to the other server of comments.

• Error when you try to set the Parental control 'Unable to set settings for administrators user or unknown users.

  I tried to use the administrator account.

  When I ran the System File Check sfc/scannow

  Any other Suggestions on how to fix this user profile?  Do I have a profile that I don't know?

  Hi wimuggss,
   
  Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
  See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
   
  Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
   
  Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.

  • vCenter Server shows the VMS as being disconnected then connected.

  Hello

  Resolution

  Cause

  This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

  Check the cause

  To check the cause of the problem:

  1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
  1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:

     
     10.21.48.121
     

     Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

  Troubleshooting

  If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

  1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
  1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
  1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa stop

  1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
  1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa start

     Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

  1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

     Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
  1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

     # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

  1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
  1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

     # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

• Closing and reopening the workstation with running virtual machines

  I have recently upgraded to 10 Workstation and I am having a strange problem. In preferences, I have checked option which says "continue to VMs run after the closure of workstation. In workplace planned 9 this option worked exactly, but workstation 10 seems that partially works as expected. In Workstation 9 I could close my computer, and then open then in from the tray icon to always see my virtual machines running with the small green icon play on them. However, in the 10 workstation I close the workstation and all my virtual machines continue to run, but when I reopen it workstation all my virtual machines appear in the workstation as if they are off; but they run because I can RDP for them. If I right click on one of them all is grey with the exception of mark it as a favorite and delete. I can't power off, change the settings, see the console, or anything like that. The shows the icon that VMs are being run, but even suspend, stop or suspend tray icon options or background open VMs do not work either. The only way I found actually to get my computer working again is to use the Task Manager to kill the task of vmware - vmx.exe. As soon as the task is killed for each workstation running, they operate again in the workstation.

  If anyone has encountered this problem, or know a fix for this? I have run several virtual machines and never have any idea that vmware - vmx.exe is for what VM when needing to change something on one of them. I make sure that I can kill them all in order to make a change to one of them.

  David Moore

  Ok. I have this problem. However, the fix has been an awareness in desperate need of repair. I ended up uninstalling the VMware Workstation and then remove all references to the registry with REGEDIT. I then restarted the computer and reinstalled VMware Workstation again. After this heavy treatment, it works again the way it should work. It seems that the upgrade to the latest version of Workstation 9 to the latest version of 10 break something somewhere.

  By the way, Dayworker, it was and is version 10.0.3.

• Run the Workstation VMS in Vcenter 5

  Hello

  I'm trying to run a virtual machine in workstation, which is nested within the virtual machine created in Vcenter. I try to start the virtual machine, but get the following message is displayed:

  Running on a virtual machine VMware Workstation requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

  I know that you need to configure a file, but I couldn't see all the documents on the Workstation 7 configuration details.

  Any help is really appreciated. (Workstation VM's linux, Vcenter vm windows 2003)

  Kind regards

  Older versions of workstation have a conflict between the of the VMware Tools on the level of comments and libraries of VMware Tools on the level of the host.  Ideally, you do want to run both on the external virtual machine, since it is the guest of the physical machine and a host of nested virtual machines.  With Workstation 7, it was not possible.

  The monitor_control option I suggested earlier will disable VMware Tools comments for external virtual machine level.  However, it seems that you have installed, which will pose problems for VMware Tools at the level of the host.

  You should put off the virtual computer, remove the monitor_control option, turn on the virtual machine, uninstall VMware Tools, power off the virtual computer, add the monitor_control option, turn on the virtual machine and reinstall the workstation.  Then, I think that things should work.

  10 workstation doesn't have these problems.
