Create snapshot and return

Hey guys,.

Has anyone ever met a good script to do this? I'm under ESXI 5.0 (Free) and have a virtual machine that I use as a laboratory environment. I'm trying to see if we can make a script that will allow a virtual computer to herself instant during certain periods the snapshot back to the copy of 'Gold' during a certain day - make sure also I have a clean copy of the OS before starting to break.

I guess I can write something in CLI power but was not sure if a script can be written to achieve this until I started to dig deeper into it.

Thank you guys for your help!

the use of these can work inside esxi itself.

  • How to properly snapshot and return to a domain controller

    I have 4 x of domain controllers Windows 2003, which 2 are physical and 2 are virtual. I need to install the component of the IMU (for Unix identity management) on each of them.

    I would like to take a snapshot of one of the virtual domain controllers before you install the IMU component to restore if it causes problems.

    Does anyone know how to do this correctly?

    If I install the component on one of the domain controllers, to decide that it does not work as expected, restore the domain controller from the age of 1 hour and restart snapshot will there AD questions? Are there other measures that should be taken?

    Thank you!

    Hello.

    This approach might violate support with Microsoft.  It is possible, but think of the consequences of not having support on ad, before trying this.  I would personally have ready another DC and a good system state backup.

    "Active Directory does not support other methods to restore the contents of Active Directory. In particular, Active Directory does not support any method that restores a 'snapshot' of the operating system or is in the volume of the operating system disk. This kind of method causes a restore in the sequence of update (USN) number used to track changes in Active Directory. When a USN recovery occurs, the contents of data bases Active Directory on the incorrectly restored domain controller and its replication partners can be definitely incompatible"- MS 888794 kb

  • I need to create a curved with type text box that heal and return to the next line in the form of curved text. How do I do that?

    I need to create a curved with type text box that heal and return to the next line in the form of curved text. How do I do that?

    1. Draw a set of concentric half circles also spaced, stacked so that the outermost is the most remote.
    2. Use the text tool to add text to the outermost path, thus creating a PathType object.
    3. Select all the paths. Type > threaded text > create.
    4. Text tool: click at the end of the text in the object of PathType. Continue typing.

    > If I do that it will not type more.

    A Warp effect is a direct effect. When it is applied to the type of objects, they are still editable text. The chain will deform, however, the text also, not only the paths to which it is attached. Sometimes you want that, sometimes you don't have.

  • Can I create a snapshot and replace it with an image (or link another picture than the current)?

    Based on http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1308132?TSTART=0 I decided to add each question separately:

    Hello, I am very interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC that was missing today. Yet, I have several questions that I can't find really good conclusive answers, I'd like to get an answer before buying LR. Please do not write maybe like this or that (assumptions), because I don't want to start my entire workflow and then realize that I have to change all around, please reply, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using this method too.

    Can I create a snapshot and replace it with an image (or link another picture than the current photo)? Details: I made adjustments in iPhoto until now I want my (unpublished) masters, some RAWs JPEGs, create a snapshot and set the photo as the one to keep. If it is not possible, all of the recommendations (in addition the usual masters of backup and import changes).

    What I do is I have to assign some metadata down battery photo indicating of don't not to export the picture. Then, I use either a collection of smart to find the photo I want to and can not find the photos, I don't want and export all in the smart collection. or I use a Collection of post Smart, even once allows me to select only the pictures I want and not those I want.

    Of course you manually uncheck items you want to export, which work as well.

  • How to create a fast forward and return quick button?

    I would like to create a simple fast forward and return quick button. I get sporadic results with the rewind button. I love the playhead for 3 seconds (72 images) both when the user press the fast forward or rewind button. They should be able to hit two buttons repeatedly. If the playback head is less than 3 seconds, then it will go to the first image.

    Here is the code:

    var FrameNumRewind:Number = this.currentFrame;

    FrameNumRewind = 0

    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, page_watch);

    function page_watch(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    If (event.target is bnt_Fast)

    {

    var FrameNumFast:Number = this.currentFrame;

    this.gotoAndPlay FrameNumFast += (72);

    }

    If (event.target is bnt_Rewind)

    {

    Will head frame to the first frame if less 73 executives.

    If (FrameNumRewind < = 73)

    {

    SoundMixer.stopAll ();

    this.gotoAndPlay("1") ;}

    }

    on the other

    {

    this.gotoAndPlay (FrameNumRewind-= 72);

    }

    }

    What I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to do it?

    I would appreaciate any help or references.

    One thing, that you must take care, is that you should not nest functions named within other functions.  Remove this function ff72 by itself.

    The currentFrame property is a read-only property, but you try to change its value using code in this line...

    this.gotoAndPlay this.currentFrame += (72);

    So change that line to be

    gotoAndPlay (currentFrame + 72);

    noticing that I took out "this" references as well.  They are most often useless in AS3 scenarios.

  • currency of the row has been changed after cancel create and return to the call of workflow

    JDev 11... 2
    I have two workflow set up very similar to the task of Steve Muench and you will receive. I have master / detail in two tables on a navigation page and a different workflow that create/change for the master and detail (separately). When I create a new master, everything works well except that when I cancel and return to the appellant task, I get the "currency line has changed since the user interface has been made." The cancel task-flow-return has end transcation = rollback and restore savepoint = true and Cancel button immediately a = true. Looks like the controller looking for the newly created folder that has been rolledback. Given that this seems to be a model common vey, what is the best way to not show the warning?

    Thanks a lot for the pointers.

    Hello

    the usecase of yours is the standard demo I show for the workflow and I never had this problem. One reason might be that you keep the scope of the task flow DC to share instead of isolated, in which case restoring impact on the flow of both. If you want to keep shared DC then check that you return to method activity that is re - running the battery for the parent workflow

  • Compare multiple columns and return a different value

    I have more access to excel and I'm running my previous workflow in numbers of duplication of issues.

    I have a worksheet when a sheet with all my power tools.  On the "Power Tools" sheet I have columns for the brand, Type, model, purchase date, etc...  An example of this would be: pass a "DEWALT", "Jackhammer" Col B, Col C "DCD995M2" and so on.

    I have a second sheet in the same document which is my front end if you want.  I wanted to have selections for this dynamic drop-down list but it seems it is not possible without scripts, but is not the immediate question yet I'm the mention the case where someone knows a good fix.  The second sheet "Sorting Test", I created manually drop-down boxes, one in column A of the brand and the other in column B for Type.  I'll choose the brand and type and I want numbers autofill the rest of this line based on these two selections.

    Example:

    In the 'Sort Test' sheet I select DEWALT in column A and I select the drill in column B and I want DCD995M2 is displayed in column C and the purchase date in column D and so on.

    Excel in it would be a game table or something similar.  So far every site and search google only gave a lot of people who try to do VLOOKUP or correspond to errors, but I've really met anyone corresponding to two distinct cells from two separate columns and return data from this same line a match was found on.

    I must also mention I'm really trying to avoid adding a hidden line that combines some of these but I know it's the most noticeable work around.

    Basically, I want to match two selections separated against two separate columns, and when it finds the match, I want it returns a different value of this corresponding line how I got everything just copy this formula on adjacent cells and simply adjust to the column in the same row matched.

    I know that I shouldn't do this on separate sheets, but it's just a choice that I made a point of design.

    Any help would be appreciated, because I'm trying to really get the most out of the numbers, especially with how it syncs between desktop and mobile and I have more access to Excel.

    You can it as what you do and why?  This will help us understand what drives the design.  Leave out how to solve the problem,

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    From your description, it seems that, after you have installed the correct video driver for your ProBook (15.201.1301) AMD, Windows Update is then by installing a different driver on top of that, right version?

    If this is the case, you must follow these instructions to STOP Windows update update drivers: how stop Windows 10 to update automatically the device drivers - windows Windows 10-10

    Once you do this, you should not see updates to the pilot after that.

    Original title: profile has been automatically removed, new profiles created automatically and can not open a session

    Help! I closed my laptop (only in the ordinary course of its use) and when I turned it back on, my usual user profile was gone and a couple of new ones have been created. One was created with my professional e-mail address as username (which is strange because I've never used this e-mail in the computer) and the other is empty. I tried to connect both of the profiles using my old combinations of the new user name and password, or user name and the old Word, but it is said that the account and the password is incorrect. I also tried to log on as an administrator, but it says "your account has been disabled. See system administrator.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!
    You might be able to solve your problem using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    On questions of password-, I treat my PC as I have my house: I always have a spare admin account / SpareKey so that I can return new anything that happens. You have a fully tested alternative admin account? If you do not, and if the method above doesn't work, then, you have a major problem that you will not be able to resolve without a CD to repair Windows.
  • Search for compounding and return processor &amp; Performance

    Hi all

    We must use Lookup from 2 to 5 and processors return in each of our 16 lots. A couple of batch processing about 700K records per day.

    To reduce clutter, I think create a processor research and personalized return (containing 5 processors Lookup and return and processor attribute merge at the end to combine the outputs of each processor search/return).

    In some of the processes, I can't use all the 5 research as input for the custom processor. My understanding of article - creating processors , all stages of the research will be always executed for all records even if some of the entries have the value NULL in accordance with the instruction-

    "the value of the attribute will be considered as zero in the logic of the processor.

    Can I create more than one processor for each research/back number 1 2, research/back 3, etc and use them in my process or compounding of processors will have a negligible performance impact?

    Also think about composition processors to add an attribute, believe this won 't a lot of impact on performance if I use not all entries.

    Kind regards

    Vivek

    1. research and return is generally effective in performance. If the research is external, make sure that you have indexes on columns of search.

    2. 5 searches in a batch is not uncommon.

    3 5 to put in a composed robot research is fine and will have no impact on performance.

    4. If you do not every 5 to run according to the given conditions, you can model this in your process of / processor, for example by using no. Data Check not to records of the road to one of the controls. Make sure that you join all records after passing different paths (the attributes of fusion will be this beautiful.)

    5. as you say, adding attributes will not add any significant performance overhead. What makes them in a processor made up makes no difference to performance.
