• vSphere license office with view or other desktop virtualization platform

  I remember in earlier versions, you could buy VMware View and get the free hypervisor/vCenter on the purchase of VMware View.  Is someone can confirm if I remember well on older versions, and while it is still true in View 5.1.1?

  Also, I think you could buy vSphere Office using one per usage fees (I thought it was 10 blocks) and get the hypervisor and vCenter, even if you use a different desktop virtualization platform.  Can anyone confirm if this is still available - and where can I get more information?

  Thank you!

  This document should give you what you need.  The document says 5.0, but AFAIK, it applies to the 5.1 too.

• Information on desktop virtualization

  I'm stuck, I just press my work place and apparently Headquarters came with something new and installed IPVPN to access the main site.
  unfortnately, we are not allowed to access the internet if we are on the network IPVPN, so I created a VMware Server and installed XP for them, the host computer is connected to 2 networks, without gateway's private network AND the public internet.

  This allows virtual machines to access local resources on the local network, which is connected to the IPVPN and also access internet related services.

  the problem now is that VMWARE server appears horribly SLOW! OMG I hate that!, so I looked into Microsoft VDI and RDS. VDI seeems too complicated, so I will not RDS by using Windows server 2008 with CAL for each user.

  I need advice if RDS is the right way? users must connect to the Server 2008 using RDP and desktop access environment where they can access their emails etc...

  Just a quick note this for only 20 people up to what must I do, to minimize costs and WITHOUT having to manage virtual desktps for users

• Quest Desktop Virtualization (vWorkspace) user profile management issues

  Hi, I work on the configuration of the user profile with (Win 7 VDI) virtual desktop management service following the guide of vworkspace administrator 7.6 and any other docs, I found on quest.com and I have a problem with it, there is nothing in the file metaprofiles\global. It doesn't seem to work. I have a file (vdi-storage1) server with action c:\vdiuserprofiles\ created folder where the profile will be stored. I also installed the role of vWorkspace on this file server user profile management and the service is running. 5206 port is open. All the virtual desktops have pntools installed with all the options and I can see that the user profile agent is running. I can reach the storage server (vdi-storage1) using telnet on port 5206 and ping. I even gave domain user full ntfs permissions to the c:\vdiuserprofiles folder, but I don't think that this is necessary.

  -In the Managment Console > resources > (right click 'properties') user profiles

  -General: Compression: low, log level: detailed, Refresh: 5 minutes

  -Storage servers: server name: vdi-storage1, Basic file: c:\vdiuserprofiles\metaprofiles, Folder Global: Global, The TCP Port: 5206

  -Silos: name: VirtualDesktopSilo, storage for the user profile server: vdi-storage1

  -Properties VirtualDesktopSilo

  -Members: name: desktop Windows 7, Type: computer group

  - Storage for the user profile server: vdi-storage1

  - Automatic backup: 30 minutes

  The MC did create the folder metaprofiles\global automatically when I applied the settings. I use supplied with vworkspace default registry keys, and I attributed them to the domain users group. I recorded several times power on and off on the virtual desktop. I noticed 5 second delay on the virtual machine after that I typed the information identification, and before she really connects me since I activated the profile management. A I forgot something or is misconfigured it?

  OK, after having received assistance from Dell (Quest) suppor, t the issue happens to be with me remoting (via RDP) for VM directly instead of by the intermediary of the broker vWorkspace, therefore the profile could not be created because I had not the closed valid session so it never created the profile. Once I've tested it using vWorkspace connector this worked.

• Installation of windows 7 with bootcamp

  In discussions with Apple Support technicians, I was led to believe that the MacBook Pro machines supported Windows 7 and above. However, when trying to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp Assistant, I learned that Windows 7 is not supported and I must have Windows 8 or higher.

  Is there a work around? Or do I have to get a license of Windows 8?

  For BootCamp, there is no work-around: Win8 or Win10 are your choices. However, such as Parallels Desktop virtualization solutions can run any version of Windows and can be a viable solution for you.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Solutions Center has disappeared

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on a laptop HP Pavilion series g.  After using my Officejet Pro 8600 for about a year with great success, all of a sudden when I click on the icon of the printer to my desktop, the Solutions Center (used to give me the menu scanning, etc.) disappeared.  Now, when I click on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 icon, I get a screen that asks if I want A) connect a new printer, B) reconfigure wireless settings or C) add more software.

  My wireless settings are fine, and I have no problem to print wireless from any of my computers or other devices.  I can even scan in the menu of the printer, but I prefer to analyse in the menu of the computer, because it allows me to customize the settings more.

  I reinstalled the drivers once today, but it does not solve my problem.

  Help, please?

  Salvation of Cricket,

  In the temp folder, open the most recent 7z folder of the installation of HP where the MSI file.

  Click once on the way to the top folder, it will go the way of the real folder.

  Copy this path.

  Right-click on the 64.msi x file and choose repair, once the error appears click Browse and paste the path copied to this folder, then it should complete the repair as expected.

• Official support for nested virtualization VMware

  VMware officially supports virtualization nested in production with ESX 5.5 environments?

  This article implies VMware does not support, but fails to mention ESXI 5.5:

  VMware KB: Support for ESXi/ESX implementation as a nested virtualization solution

  This document is kind of contradict:

  Nested VMs running

  It is said:

  "Virtualisee HV is fully supported for hardware virtual version 9 or 10 virtual machines on the hosts that support Intel VT - x or AMD - V and EPT of IVR. To enable virtualized HV, select VM-> settings and navigate to the processor settings screen. Check the box next to 'Virtualiser Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'

  And a fe down paragraphs:

  "ESX (i) can be used as a hypervisor reviews to learn more about the VMware Server products, experiment with Server installation, training, show demos and configurations of test." VMware does not support nested ESX (i) servers running in production environments. ESX (i) problems running in a nested configuration fall outside the agreements of level of Service and Support of VMware. »

  The article quoted deals only ESXi as a guest.

  Virtualized HV is supported as a CPU function virtual when used by a Type 2 hypervisor running under any operating system supported by.

• Virtualization on ESXi

  I am currently evaluating different hypervisors to see that best meets my needs and would be very happy of all advice on how well ESXi can manage desktop virtualization scenarios.

  1. What is the free ESXi 5.x support the virtual graphics card 3D edition? Or is this feature only available in the paid editions of vSphere?
  2. What are some good ways to access a virtual machine intended to be used in a virtual office? The "Console" tab in vSphere Client will work? Or y at - it another software that must be installed on the client computer? The reason I ask is because Remote Desktop and VNC both provide a poor user experience.
  3. What is the experience of virtual desktop with Microsoft RemoteFX? Also, how is it compared to the (local) virtual machines running on the desktop or from the merger?

  Finally, it is not directly related to virtualization, but VMware maintains a list comparing the features available in each edition, including the free edition? There is a list comparing the paid editions (vSpherecompare the editions of server & amp; amp;) Virtualization in the data center. United States), but I have no idea how these editions stack against the free edition (or to put it another way, what I won't have access to by going with the free edition instead of the paid editions).

  1. Graoucs 3D acceleration support is a feature of view VMware Horizon and this requires that a licensed version of ESXi.You can learn more here - http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-view-graphics-acceleration-deployment.pdf. If you do not need 3d graphics, you can still use the free version of host virtual dekstops.
  2. VMware View horizon is designed for virtual desktops, and provides methods for accessing virtual desktops based on the AD for authentication. If you are just looking for workstation virtual host, you can use the vSphere client but I would not recommend using the vSphere client as access method that this will put a burden on your host ESxi the preferred method would be to use RDP to access virtual desktops. I'm surprised your had a below-normal with VNC and RDP performance both in my experience have worked well.
  3. There are a number of factors that affect the end-user experience particulalry resources available to the hypersiro and the number of virtual desktops - my experience if the environment has been properly size the experience will be entirely satisfactory. Comparable machines, virtual office accommodation on ESXi will offer a more enjoyable performance.

  This document will provide some of the differences between the free version and the paid versions - http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf.

• GPU & new server virtualization

  I'm trying to spec'ing new hardware to a server virtualization for the House. decied on ESXi for the operating system.

  Some graphics intensive games will be on the clients windows and some on linux hosts.

  as for a graphics card, when my notebooks connect to one of the guests a really good graphics card can be used by guests and so well through the remote access?

  Hello

  The VM on the server and will not profit from your host graphics card. This is true for display or vSphere environments.

  You will need to connect to this server through a protocol. RDP and PCoIP if you also "VMware View", HDX (if the XenDesktop user). In all these cases, 3D games are not a good option. It is true that for version 5 of VMware View, 3D graphics ARE supported, but think that it's a support for Windows Aero style office and not for 3D games. I've seen some implementations of positions of work intensive virtualized Autocad but with very specific, very expensive servers... but again, 3D games can be even more demanding than Autocad.

  Bottom line is, even when your Hypervisor technology is able to use all your GPU acceleration and technology, you don't have a way to connect to this virtual machine and consume all this title... at least not with virtualization I know.

  There are high-performance protocols to connect to desktops and maybe that's what you use... but then again, no virtualization. For example:

  http://h20331.www2.HP.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html

  I heard that Teradichi works in a hardware card to improve graphics performance, but nothing available right now.

  XenDesktop claims to be able to use a part of the end unit GPU acceleration, it sounds good, but when I tried it... well... no REAL advantage and same limitations as with the other tecniques of desktop virtualization.

  Hope that helped you...

  Kind regards

• ESXi 5.5 network card help

  Hello

  This is my first post, hope both sound in the right place!

  In any case a recently built myself a box of ESXi from lab to the home of a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 and i5 2500 k, 16 GB Ram etc...

  I does not, is that the onboard network adapter did not work

  I searched Google high and low for a fix, try to download a file .vib for the Board / card and custom creation iso but not luck

  I can get the map to be seen by ESXi but no HR connection static or DHCP

  In any case after further investigation I Born a card everyone talks of the EXPI9301CTBLK of intel, someone had experience using this successfully as its cheap not then want to make sure she s will work front a purchase it

  The link is less than the product

  Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Gigabit Pro PCI Express Gigabit network card OEM - Scan.co.uk

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and or if someone knows an accurate way to get the card to work, I just need LAN

  Thank you

  Hello

  YES it uses Intel® 82574 L controller that is listed on the HCL also:

  VMware Compatibility Guide: search for i/o device

  Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter benefits and Support Overview

  If you want to know about other vendors support and have a list of all supported network cards have a look at this PDF file:

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/PDF/vi_io_guide.PDF

  For only Intel cards look here:

  http://www.Intel.com/support/network/adapter/PRO100/sb/CS-029808.htm

  The difficulties of hardware compatibility in environment of laboratory/home as a workaround, you can run ESXi as nested within VMware Workstation instead of deploy directly to your portable equipment, for more information, see:

• VMware View may be a good alternative for the Terminal Services?

  Hello people,

  We run the Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003 Ent. in a cluster environment. We have 4 TS who handle the load. Now, we are faced with a high volume of users within the company. We have a main office (Headquarters) and 10 more ease, all linking to the seat through the DRC. We are trying to find a better solution to deal with the high volume in a better way and we have VMware View.

  Do you think that is a good alternative?

  Any input, advice is really enjoying it.

  Thank you.

  I think that Desktop Virtualization (side Datacenter) and Terminal Server virtualization (Citrix or TS/RDP) pro and cons.

  You must deliver multiple environments or move the entire desktop to datacenter? Desktop virtualization could be better.

  You must provide a single application (or a few)? TS or some sort of virtualization to applications (such as ThinApp) solution could be better.

  Check out what you really need and how to access these services.

  Also consider licensing and where you can save costs.

• That gives students access to applications

  Hello everyone. I'm new to VMware and I have some questions regarding to

  which VMware product I should look like a solution for my needs.

  I work at a University that is moving towards a mobile computing environment.

  At some point, we expect all our students to own a laptop/notebook computer. Laptops

  will be used for school work or personal use. When we come to this point

  where all students have a laptop, we plan on closing the computer

  laboratories, we have on campus.

  The impact of this is, students will lose access to applications

  that were available in the laboratories. This includes applications such as SPSS,

  SAM 2003, Studio 9, etc.

  As a solution, we wondered if we could 'push' these applications to the

  laptops. These applications must be available 24/7, so that students

  are on campus.

  What product VMware can help us to do this? Thin client, fat client? How well

  will it work on wireless network? We have capable n access points.

  Thank you.

  Cindy.

  Welcome to the Forums - you have two roads to go - Application Virtualization where you virtualize just the application - this would be ThinApp http://www.vmware.com/products/thinapp/ or desktop virtualization where you virtualize the entire desktop and use a client access ot an Office safe - this is VMware View - http://www.vmware.com/products/view/

• Windows 2008 R2 (detail) & RemoteApp (Hyper-v)

  Hi all

  We just installed the version on our ESX 4 system win2008 r2. Installation is ok, no problem.

  The test system is supposed to be installed with the Remote Desktop Services and features of the remote app. The server runs the use of hyper-v for remote offices. Pritty stupid because we have a virtualization solution. The server refuses to install RemoteApp without hyper-v.

  So you install Hyper-v I hear you say? Woah! Cannot be done. Apparently the esx virtual processor does not support VT. (okay, understand that).

  For what I can find, R2 is is not supported (yet), so chances are that we should just be patient. But any help would be welcome.

  Martijn.

  You could say the virtual processor to lie about its VT - x support:

  cpuid.1.ecx="----:----:----:----:----:----:--1-:----"
  

  Maybe it's enough to install Hyper-V.  However, Hyper-V certainly won't run because no VMX statement executed on the virtual processor reproach.  I don't know if this will get you anywhere.
