Commonly available NTFS file share...

Hello

I'm not sure if this question is out of range or possibilities of vmware, but I post anyway :-)

We run Essentials Plus V5 and as storage device, we use a couple of Dell MD3000i without.

Our windows domain controllers are running as VMs and the field of shared files to the folders and files of collaboration are on a virtual disk belonging to one of the DC1 domain controllers (stored with this virtual machine).

I wonder if it is possible under vsphere to create an independent network of VM for our domain records (NTFS) share.  If DC1 must go down for some reason, DC2 continues to provide all services nettwork and domain, but users cannot access their files because the fileshares field came down then stopped DC1.

Is there a way to create or configure a vmware storage type that can act as a common shared drive for several virtual machines the same way as DC1 currently share NTFS drive?  I want to "detach" shared drive of the machine virtual of DC1 DC1 and create an '' independent '' with equal properties (NTFS security) share accessible by DC1 and DC2.

Thank you very much for the comments on this.

Hello

You can access the settings of your virtual machine with disk hard 3´rd and remove the hard drive. But make sure you do not remove your vmfs volume. Only remove it from the virtual machine.

Then go to the other virtual machine and add a hard drive existing and point to the removed disk.

But I recommend you build a virtual machine as a file server only. If you are able to because of resources. Do not use a DC as a file server. Only if you don't have any other possibility

  • The access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" are not secure

    Hey there
    Had a minor shock after I discovered that the access permissions default to the "limited users" in "C:\Windows\" and "C:\Program files\" are raised by the image automatically XP - Pro installed on my Tecra A6.

    Default access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" for "A limited number of users" should not have permissions "File/writing data Creation" or "Creation of folders/adding data. This opens up for what is called dll redirection attacks (ref: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/)

    When you install a Win XP a normal retail or OEM Windows XP cd these two folders are special protected by this measure (not allowing the permissions listed for limited users). Installation procedure of your image work it around (in established Microsoft) measure and open breaches in security.

    Now I have to drop all these permissions and hope that all of the utilities of your work for limited users after that that, otherwise you get a very unhappy customer on your hands. ;)

    Hi Henrik

    Thanks for the information. I have a common user of Toshiba and I have never heard of such attacks to redirect m .dll.
    However, I think that if each user install antivirus software (nothing unusual at the time; everyone should use) and activate the Microsoft Windows updates and OS firewall should be safe.

    Greetings :D

    PS: I read in this forum that sometimes some Toshiba applications as energy saving does not work under limited account.

  • Format an external hard drive (1 TB) FAT32 in NTFS file system

    Hello
    I recently bought nine Transcend (TS1TSJ25M3) 1 TB External Hard Drive

    who is in the FAT32 file system. There are currently 930 GB of free space available. I decided to convert 
    it to NTFS File system. So first of all, there is no data in thePlayer(it's free)
    Second, how much space will get after the formatting in NTFS file system?
    And third: is it possible to do it on Windows 7 64-bit OS, or do I have to use another OS?
    Please I need answers to my doubts.

    In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive and select Format. Choose NTFS as method in shape.

    You will have 930MB after formatting. The rule is that you have 7% less space than the nominal capacity, which allows the difference between the ability of manufacturers of discs (1 GB = 10 ^ 6) and the ability of Windows (1 GB = 2 ^ 10) and space unusable, drawn upward by the method in shape.

  • How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

    Hello.

    I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

    I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

    Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

    Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

    I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

    (a) how do I do this, and

    (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

    If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

    Never been so thanks in advance!

    1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

    2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

  • Google Chrome diverted file/share/Email this Page in Safari 9.0.1

    This is OS X El Capitan version 10.11.1 on a late 2009 iMac.

    The problem is that it has become impossible for Safari 9.0.1 to 'share' a Web page by emailing via Apple Mail (9.1). When 'file' / ' share ' / "send this Page" is enabled in Safari, Google Chrome launches and opens a webmail account. Until then, when "file" / "share" / "send this Page" has been selected in Safari, Apple Mail would activate.

    Google seems to be the co-optation "Mail" extension, because navigate to menu Apple/System Preferences/Extensions/action Menu brings up a list of extensions that can be enabled or disabled. The extension called "E-mail" is displayed, but it cannot be selected or deselected; It is dimmed and monitored; and scaling "Mail" icon is the icon of Google Chrome.

    If the extension of "Mail" unalterable interferes with Apple Mail 9.1?

    Mail is selected as "Default mail software"?

  • FAT32 can convert my NTFS file system?

    my computer is in FAT32 instead of NTFS file system and it won't let me format it, what should I do?

    my computer is in FAT32 instead of NTFS file system and it won't let me format it, what should I do?

    First of all. Note that your * computer * is not FAT32, it is your hard disk which is FAT32. You may have several diosk readers and some could be some FAT32 and NTFS.

    Second, you cannot format your drive from Windows; It is like cutting the branch of a tree, on which you sit.

    Third, why do you want to get in shape? To reinstall Windows or simply to change to NTFS? If you want to reinstall Windows, boot from the Windows CD and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will begin by formatting the drive for you.

    But if you just want to change your drive to the NTFS format, use the CONVERT command. But first read http://www.aumha.org/a/ntfscvt.htm because there is an important question about the size of cluster that is not obvious.

    Note also that conversion is an important step, touching everything on your drive. When you take a big step, no matter how unlikely it is always possible that something can go wrong. For this reason, it is prudent to make sure that you have a backup of everything you can't afford to lose before you start.

  • SBS 2011 and Windows 2008 file share

    I have a sbs 2011 and a regular Server 2008 domain. I need to set up a file share that can see both areas. I discovered what a normal two-way transitive trust between them is a bad idea. Wanting to know if there is a better way to do it by side just setting up user accounts in the regular field of 2008 (where the share resides) which corresponds to the account of sbs domain, setting up the collective right to the share, and map the drive to the sbs domain workstations. I don't like this method because changing a password on the sbs domain would require a manual modification to synchronize on the regular field.

  • Available Page file is reduced

    Several days, I checked my current configuration of the system and I got 100,00% available page file, and my page file size was 19, 213.5 MB. But today, once I updated my setup, both of them are smaller. Is this normal?

    Your page shrink file is nothing to worry about. It is used like Windows virtual memory for you sure have enough memory available for programs and processes. Honestly with 16 GB of RAM, you can turn it off and just run on the cylinder itself, however it depends on what you do with your computer.  Its all managed by Windows, so I don't worry about this.

  • Loose ability to browse file shares after vMotion

    Some configuration information.

    2 ESXi hosts: HostA and HostB

    2 physical switches (both connected to the same subnet, vlan, all connected to the same switch to base: SwitchA and SwitchB)

    1 VM in question: FileServerVM

    FileServerVM is running on HostA, which is physically connected to SwitchA.  (B host is physically connected to SwitchB).

    I have FileServerVM from HostA to HostB vMotion.  So far so good.  Can communicate with FIleServerVM very well through anything I try except file shares.  When I try to access a drive that is mapped to FIleServerVM it fails or if I just eyebrows at \\FileServerVM\ it fails.  If I vMotion FileServerVM return of host b to HostA, everything suddenly starts working again.

    Anyone encountered this before?  Any suggestions?

    Found the problem.  The vSwitch on HostB has several physical maps that are entrusted.  One of them was related to one VLAN incorrect.

    Users should not notice a difference. The admins will see just a few traces of VMware (devices, tools, etc.), but the system will remain the same.

    What you can do is to do a test, that the process is not destructive to the original machine. Then, once your solution is proven, make the final move.
