Customization of VCD comments fail to finish before vmtools restarts the server

Hi all

You are looking for assistance. I'm trying to run a script powershell to the customization post. This script works fine if run independently. The question I see newspapers is vmware tools marks the complete script once past the initiates a reboot of the system. This obviously prevents my powershell to finish. The script is copy the files to the client to then proceed with an installation.

So my question is that nobody knows how to stop either vmtools to initiate the restart until the end of my script or how to tell my script to stop the vmtools start resetting. I still want the tools at the end, but not until my script is done.

I tried to add various command to the script with no joy, I think it's because vmtools run command shell of power and esteem/marks it complete and moves independently of what happens. This is for servers Windows 2008 R2 and im using VCD 5.1.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Post edited by: Cart3r This is the script of customization under the properties of the virtual machine @echo off if '%1% ' is "precustomization" (echo of precustomization task) if '%1% ' is 'postcustomization' (echo postcustomization tasks powershell.exe - ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted - folder C:\vCD\install-local-agent.ps1 )

Hi Paul,.

Based on the newspaper it seems to me that you actually run VCD 1.5 (not 5.1). Could you tell me the Version/Build date help > about? If this is the case and you can't find a way to run your script synchronously, or the timeout of 100 seconds is not enough, I recommend you to run your commands by planning a separate Windows task runs after reboot (this is how we do it in VCD 5.1.x):

\\system32\\schtasks.exe / create /sc ONSTART $ more HIGH/np/z v1 /ru SYSTEM /tr 'order' /tn "my tasks".

Remember that you may need to remove it later, because Windows often fails to do so, even if the arguments instruct to do.

  • Full customization VM pool comments works not

    The problem:

    I deployed a pool (VMs dedicated, full) and im using a specification of customization of the comments that I made on my server.

    When the provisions of the VM (looking this provisioning in vSphere client), it will be a virtual machine by using the template, I can connect for about a minute and it still has the name of the Image that I use. After that it restarts and it starts first time Windows 7 installation (as shown in the picture).

    It seems that the customization is not from for some reason any. I have deployed the virtual machine with the option ' no - customization will be done manually "and it works.

    The spec of customization settings are:

    name: name of the company
    NetBIOS name: use the VM name

    License: no key (for more convenience, but with the key do not work or the other)

    Admin password: admin Local move from the VM model

    Run once: -.

    Network: typical
    Domain: test.local
    Administrator

    Password

    Password

    Generate a new SID: checked

    Any idea why customization does not start on my deployment?

    Best regards

    Patrick

    Good to know you solved the problem, that's exactly why I suggested directly deploy you the vm of vc and check. If direct deployment does not work with the same custom specification, the problem is always with the design or the custom specification. view automates everything we do manually in the CR.

  • 2008 R2 customization Catch 22 comments

    Type of Catch 22...

    VMWare 3.5u5 VC 2.5u5

    Prompt Windows 2008R2

    I like what comments to VMWare customizations have to offer and they work

    great as naming the computer after the name of the Virtual Machine. This

    I can't do with a custom unattend.xml file.

    However, I would like to install the default profile with some

    customizations and now the old "copy of the default user profile.

    Profile' is not supported: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959753

    The supported method is to create create an unattend.xml customized with the

    CopyProfile option set to true, then

    c:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe/generalize /oobe

    / unattend: path to the unattend.xml file... It works fine, after a reboot and

    a mini installer of the custom profile is here.

    But providing a sysprep custom file in the comments Customization Wizard gives you just that, custom sysprep file capabilities.

    Is it possible to have the best of both worlds?

    Maybe you could get the best of both worlds.

    Run the command sysprep once with the custom unattend.xml file

    Who will transfer all the settings of the default profile.

    Restart the virtual machine and you get a VM that is unique to all of the default profile that you need.

    Now you can deploy virtual computer with sysprep values.

    Please note that you have only a maximum of 3 times to run sysprep, unless you use the reset switch

    You now how a VM to measure with the default profile.

  • How to clear the output buffer, possibly resize and burn again, before you begin the task of output

    I use PyDAQmx with a USB-6363, but I think the question is generic to DAQmx.

    I have an output buffer that I want to be able to (re) write to without starting the task output.

    More specifically, I have a graphical interface and a few sliders, the user can move.  Whenever the slider changes, a new set of values is loaded into the buffer output through DAQmxWriteAnalogF64.  After you set the value, the user can click on a button and start the task output.

    In some cases the change in cursor does not require a change in buffer size, only a change in the data.  In this case, I get the compalint following DAQmx as they tried writing:

    The generation is not yet started, and not enough space is available in the buffer.

    Set a larger buffer, or start the generation before writing data more than content in the buffer.
    Property: DAQmx_Write_RelativeTo
    Value: DAQmx_Val_CurrWritePos
    Property: DAQmx_Write_Offset
    Corresponding value: 0
    Property: DAQmx_Buf_Output_BufSize
    Corresponding value: 92

    In other cases the change in cursor requires both change in the size of the buffer and data modification.  In this case, I get the following, but only after that do a few times each time increase the size of the writing.

    DAQmx writing failed because a previous writing DAQmx configured automatically the size of output buffer. The size of the buffer is equal the number of samples written by channel, so no additional data can be written before the original task.

    Start the generation of before the second writing DAQmx or set true in all instances of writing DAQmx Auto Start. To gradually write to the buffer before starting the task, call DAQmx Configure an output buffer before the first writing DAQmx.
    Task name: _unnamedTask<0>

    State code:-200547
    function DAQmxWriteAnalogF64

    I tried to configure the output via DAQmxCfgOutputBuffer buffer (in some cases, by setting it to zero or a samples, then save again, in an attempt to clear it) but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

    Of course, I can work around the problem by loading data only when the user clicks the end button, but not what I'm asking here.

    Is it possible to "remake" the writing of output before you begin the task?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Today I have no material practical to validate, but try unreserving task before writing the new buffer:

    DAQmxTaskControl (taskHandle, DAQmx_Val_Task_Unreserve);

    With a simulated device, he made the error go away in case the buffer is the same size.  You will need to validate if the data are in fact correct, but I think it should be (unreserving I would say reset the write pointer so the old buffer are replaced with the new data).

    I always get errors when you try to change the size of buffer if (on my 6351 simulated).  I posted some similar mistakes about the reconfiguration of the tasks here, I guess it is possible that this issue has also been set at 9.8 (I always use 9.7.5 on this computer).  If the behavior is still present in the new driver, and also appears on real hardware (not just simulated), then it seems that this is a bug of DAQmx someone at OR should be considered.

    I wrote a simple LabVIEW VI that captures the error in order to help people to NOT reproduce it:

    The best solution at the moment would be likely to re-create the task if you need to change the size of the buffer (or avoid writing data until you are sure what will be the size of buffer).

    Best regards
