Hello
connects him with the address IP can be found here:

the root account not working for vSphere Client 5.5, for SSH works fine
Hey.
I got this:
I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by SSH and the root user and password works fine
I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by vSphere Client and use domain user and everything works fine
I cant't connection 5.5 by user of vSphere vCenter Client and use of root and the password. I have information on
"Cannot complete the connection because username or password incorect.
IM shure I use the right password for root.
A suggestion?
Ok. Thank you community vExpert and Lukasz of my team, we found easy reason perhaps, but not at the first glance for me
We had the installer by default "Source of identity" for Active Directory then when I used only root for connection I got the error with wrong password.
In this possible case is just to connect to vcenter using root@localos credintials.
But in addition we sam of similar mistakes inside the SSO connects:

Can access VCSA with the root account, but cannot access vSphere with the same root account
I am able to connect to the VCSA (: 5480) with the created password for root, but I can't log in vSphere (: 9443) with this same root account). It seems that the password has been correctly set, but weird that I can connect to one and not the other. I recently improved bed and breakfast ESXi and VCSA version 5.5 Update 2, but don't think that should have an effect on. Any suggestions? Help, please.
Understand the problem. When you change the field by default to another identity source, you must type root@localos as the user name to use the root account.

After Effects will be not updated for MAC 10.9.4 even on the Root account.
I've already updated my Mac OS to 10.9.4 and it was only until today that I wanted to use After Effects. I opened After Effects and I get an error, after some googling I am taken to a download page for the update of After Effects. I downloaded the update, but when I ran it, it said I had no sufficient privileges. After a long chain of events that involved trick my computer into thinking that it was all new to an admin account, I made an admin account and from there had access to the root account. Once the root account, I thought that all the permissions would be open, but no, I still receive the same error message, "please contact your system administrator if you want to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been removed by your administrator. »
Is there an I need to press the button or command that I need to type in the root account, which will allow me to update the AE? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
This is not the administrator of the computer; rather, it is the administrator of your software licenses. Who distributed your Adobe software seems to have chosen the option in this distribution to disable updates. You will need to talk with them.

Set alarm when the ROOT user login
Hello forum!
Is it possible to configure an alarm trigger to let me know when the ROOT account is used in vCenter or any ESXi?
Thank you!

Take a look at this post for the solution - http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/10/how-to-create-vcenter-alarm-to-monitor.html

you have to copy a file to the root directory...

You can use root - as long as you allow root ssh access - what is advised.
Another alternative is to download Veeam FastSCP (free) and use it - with this you can authenticate with your user account non-root, but you can elevate your privileges specifying the root account. It is the method and the tool I use. You'll have to excuse my lack of terminology Linux

How to restore the root permission administrator account
on a test lab, a host ESX 4, I accidentally changed permission to the root account to the Administrator role to the role of read-only on one of the virtual machines. This is why, when I connect to the host as root via vSphere Client, I have read-only access to one of the virtual machines. What is the best way to fix that and go back to the root to have the role of administrator?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
Moved to the Security Forum.
You must log in as root on the ESX or ESXi console and modify the /etc/vmware/hostd/authorizations.xml and the ACEDataRoleID to-1 instead of what it is.

My computer is running on Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Is it possible to determine the ip address of any remote login to my computer? I noticed that termservice was running, as well as the remote registry and winrm - and I began not to them.
Thank you.
Well quite simply a Win 7 Home Premium computer can NOT act as a host [DRC] Remote Desktop is not a problem. If you want to see if something needs to connect remotely with the help of another program you can look in the event viewer for clues...
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/search#q=Event+Viewer
You can also go to Start and type services.msc in the search window. Start the component services snap-in and stop these three services. Set Manual as well.
If you suspect a virus or malware of any kind make sure you run a good antivirus program such as MSE or download and run Microsoft Safety Scanner or ESET online scanner...

Determine the number of traditional DAQ hardware using Labview.
Hello
Anyone can answer the question:
Regarding materials traditional DAQ, for example the DMM OR-4060, how
can I programmatically determine the number of device which can be seen in MAX?
With the help of Labview 8.5, I looked into the following function libraries:
NOR-DMM
VISA
NOR-ModInst
None of the libraries above seem to provide access the number of traditional DAQ hardware
property, which is automatically assigned.
Background:
I have a 18 PXI chassis containing 2 DMM, in housing 3 and 14.
The DMM may be a mixture of type OR-4060 or NOR-4070.
The system is controlled by a Teststand sequence employing IVI - DMM
steps.
When you set the IVI logical name step, I am referring to IVI device defined Sessions
Max - rutime determined.
Labview VISA functions using I can determine the model, i.e. 4060 or 4070.
Because the DMM just locate into the slots 3 or 14, then the devices NOR-4070
are accessible using the following descriptors of resources: PXI1Slot3 or
PXISlot14.
(The 4070 is compatible DAQmX.)
So for devices OR-4070, I can predefine 2 Sessions of IVI device, knowing
It will be sufficient for all occasions, when I run my Teststand sequence, which will be
determine what device session to use at run time.
But I'm stuck for the NOR-4060.
At the Session of the device, I have to give a descriptor of resource the following
format: DAQ::x (where x is the device number)
I could create device 18 sessions each reference to a different DAQ::x, but to select
the good pair during execution, I would need to programmatically determine the device
number, i.e. the value of x.
Where my question.
The closest I came to a solution was an entry of the Knowledge Base that said that the
Assigned device number would be the same as the slot number, providing the
Number of the device had not previously configured manually.
Unfortunately, our device numbers have been changed manually and maybe in the future.
All popular solutions.

Hi Gary,.
Good afternoon and I hope that your well today.
Thanks for your post and I want to help you solve your problems.
I don't think there is just a function that you can use to identify and collect information on all cards with your. For traditional DAQ devices in particular I suggest using the Information.vi of DAQ devices get.
If you look at this link,
SAL posted an example VI entitled, find dev trad.vi.
You can get information such as serial number, Dev name and the Base address.
The assistance of the respective drivers to collect information you could generate an array of strings with the information that you need all the slots.
Please let me know if this is useful at all,

I have my own areas and when I email companies and organizations I always give them a single as e-mail address: [email protected]. This helps cut down on SPAM and identifies when organizations are hacked so I can 'kill' individual addresses with my domain registration.
I currently do this by using a temporary NOSPAM Thunderbird "generic" account "from" address (which I need to change from time to time and 'kill' with my domain registration to prevent SPAM) and I change the 'reply-to' address when I send an email to such an organization. What tends to work OK most of the time, but often the 'reply-to' address is lost at the other end, perhaps when the emails are forwarded internally. This can leave some temporary old sent emails "from" addresses never happen to me.
Much cleaner would be to send these emails with identical (and unique) 'from' and 'reply-to' fields. Someone has ideas how to achieve this goal, but obviously without creating an individual account each time? If Thunderbird helped change the address 'from', in special circumstances, it might be a solution.
Have you considered adding several identities to the main account? In addition, there are modules allowing to select the correct identity to send messages:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/identity-Chooser/
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/correct-identity/
and another which might be of interest: https://www.absorb.it/virtual-id
