Creator of snapshot?

Similar Questions

• using snapshot script

  Most the script below for list of snapshots is spent for me (I made a few small changes) and it works fine except that it does not list the creator of the snapshot, but rather as the creator of the last snapshot even if there is not, instant vDP, for example.  In my opinion, it's how the Get-VIEvents is called instead to get the instant creator of the command get-snapshot.

  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction, or use another method to find the instant creator?

  Thank you.

  I've written a script before, which I'll post an article from below, makes you need TO get the name of the creator instant it involves using the API to get the saved task when the snapshot was created, (all times by obtaining the snapshot task of creating for the relevant VM within 5 seconds of the snapshot).  The script to see this section in context here is http://davotronic5000.co.uk/blog/updated-script-to-monitor-snapshots-in-vsphere/.  The part that gets the creators of snapshot is called:

• Report snapshot including Snap owner/creator

  I have a script that I run every day to declare open shadow.  This is a script I found online, but then realized that we wanted to add the owner for the wink to the information.  Again, I found little code online and was able to add in the script, but he still does not seem to properly make the owner.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Here is the corresponding code.  I added some parts that enter data using Get-VIEvent and then post it in (Description and CreatedBy).  The problem is that it doesn't seem to be reliable.  The owner sometimes comes in white, and sometimes it shows one user other than who actually took the snapshot.  I'm not great PowerShell and I wanted to know if someone can suggest what is wrong in the code?  I'll also join the original inside code that is supposed to shoot instant owner that I joined the first script.  When I run which, in itself, he either said the event is not in the database, or sometimes it is correct when the main script is wrong, or watch a user empty.

  I also read that there is a more reliable than VIEvents way to get the owner of the hanging.  I found a code on this forum, but I was unable to understand how to integrate properly.

  One of the reasons why you empty, could be that the timestamp of the event is not 100% identical to the timestamp of the snapshot.

  It seems that the last person to create a snapshot will have their user name filled with each snapshot release. For example: he says 'Adam' created all snapshots, but "John" had created the first 3 and 'Adam' the last of them.

  Thank you.

  I don't understand why you have the Get - VM and Get-snapshot at the end of the script.

  Try like this (I've simplified a little other things as well)

  $myVMs = get - VM

  {foreach ($vm to $myVMs)

  Get-Snapshot - $vm VM | Tri-objet-property CreationDate-descending | Select - 1 first | %{

  Write-Host "VM $vm has a snapshot.

• new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

  I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule. I found nothing specific online to tell me how to deal with this, so I made a few decisions naïve. I've disabled the Time Machine, renamed my new store backup and copied over the old store backup on the new backup drive time Capsule. Then in a Terminal on the command line, I mvhad snapshot directories in the newly copied backup of the old backup store store renamed folder. NOTE: On this site, I learned about a Time Machine of assistance called bypasscommand, and I needed to use it to move the Flash files in the command line:

  $ sudo mv 2016-09-17-211302 /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass.

  .. /.. /Backups.BackupDB/MyMachine /

  At this point, I thought: well, now, I have all my old and new pictures in the active backup store on the local USB drive. Then I turned on the Time Machine, and the first backup failed:

  "An error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk. »

  Then I noticed that Finder shows only most original snapshots while in the Terminal, I see all snapshots using the ls command. All snapshots have the same names in fashion and the owner/group permissions. So, why don't Finder shows all snapshots and why is Time Machine unhappy?

  Is it possible to change the snapshots naming convention?

• HP Photo Creations: The Photo Creator image file Conversion

  Trying to help a friend. She has an HP printer and used HP Photo Creator.
  
  However, the program (with his help) has managed to convert all files on several DVD into JPG files that cannot be opened by using the Photo Creator software. Other programs refuse to open the files, saying they are invalid or damaged. Yet HP Photo Creator opens fine.

  She requested that its JPGs to be accessible using any image look a program (this seems reasonable).

  Is it possible to convert these files into a format that can be used by any photo/picture read/write software please?

• Satellite P205-S6287 - webcam only takes snapshots using Win 7

  Hello.

  I recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit).
  When I did, I went through the typical rigmarole of updating my drivers and reinstall some programs or games lost. What I wasn't expecting, it was for my camera to completely stop working.

  I reinstalled the software of the camera, and it seemed to work until I tried to take a snapshot with the software after that. Now, the camera records video and audio recording, but it will not instant (I mainly use for).

  If I click on the Snapshot button, she acts like I clicked it, but no preview image and no new photos are saved in the folder my pictures.

  Any ideas? Or advice? Or help? Thank you!

  Hello

  Perhaps you should again check the path to the photo folder?
  Maybe the webcam records the images to another location on the HARD drive

• Impossible to uninstall Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

  Hello

  I can't seem to uninstall Recovery Media Creator every time I try to uninstall I seem to get a red x error message with the error code (-5005: 0 x 80070002),.

  I think that this has been caused by the system restore, it can removed a file in the folder of the Trusted Installer, I tried literally everything I know but can't seem to remove it.

  I got my recovery so I tried to remove it because of that and bothers me like when I can't remove a program, I have no idea how to manually remove programs but I have a little knowledge with systems operating so if theres any advice on that would be great.

  Kind regards

  Visit the Toshiba download page, download and reinstall Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I hope this will solve your problem and then do what you will be able to remove it.

  It seems that the recovery media creator software is always installed, but the HARD drive recovery partition has been deleted from the HARD drive.

  Hello.

  I have a Qosmio F60 - 11F and I install windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site.
  I need to install the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator & TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator utilities; I search in the Toshiba site, but nothing is there.
  Can someone help me to download these utilities?

  Why do you need these tools?
  If you have installed your own version of the OS, these tools are useless, and for this reason, they are not available for download and installation.
  These tools, you can have if you install Toshiba recovery image only.
