Easy way to export and restore the virtual network editor in 10 workstation

I'm looking for an easy way back up and restore my settings of the virtual network Editor. I use Workstation 10.0.3 on Windows 7 64 bit and have several networks configured on different host machines. After Googling for the problem, I found the following:

-on a Linux host, the settings are stored in/etc/vmware/networking. However, I am not able to find the file in Windows. Source: http://serverfault.com/questions/535193/vmware-workstation-how-to-automate-or-script-changes-to-the-virtual-network-co

-on a Windows host, all parameters could be saved through export of certain keys in the registry. But these keys are at least partially unique on each host, and it would be a real pain to get the keys on each host individually. Source: Re: VMware WS configuration backup

-vnetlib control should support a statement "-export" which creates a text file containing the necessary information. However if I try to run the command, as described in the link, no file is created on my machine. The command must be ' start/wait vnetlib.exe - export path_to_file' (I am running this command of in the workplace, of course installation directory). I also tried "vnetlib" - path_to_file to export, but that did not help either. I know that vnetlib works because I reinstalled successfully the vmx86 with vnetlib service - install. If also tried the vnetlib64.exe, but no luck. Source: Re: virtual network editor

So is - someone of you knows how to solve my problem? I'm looking for a way to write a simple batch script that exports the settings without having to deal with the registry. My virtual network Editor loses its configuration from time to time and I don't want to set up everything by hand again.

Thanks in advance.

The instructions on my site still fit for WS 11
sanbarrow.com ~ Index

on a 64-bit host export settings like this
"C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware" _-_ export f:\ws-networkbackup.txt
Note the syntax:
_ should be a space
-is not a unique dashboard but 2 x less

You can import this backup again if you replace import export.
Use a commandprompt with high fees - (run as admin)

The settings for the vmnetbridge service are stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\VMnetBridge

  • Impossible to change or remove networks in the virtual network Editor?

    Hi people,

    I try to change the address of Vmnet1 network IP subnet and remove Vmnet2.

    The settings are changed correctly once I apply, but go back to the time when I reopen the virtual network Editor.

    I tried to run 10 Workstation as an administrator and even a default restore does not remove Vmnet2.

    Anyone know what I'm missing?  Driving me crazy!

    Thank you

  • Can not see the physical adapters in the virtual network Editor

    I installed VMware Server 2.0 on my computer running Windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium.  I'm trying to make sure that the network card virtual vmnet0 only connects to my thread of material gigabit NIC, not my wireless card.  I went into the virtual network editor and none of my physical computer network cards are listed.  The bridge networks tab the checkbox next to automatically connect to the network device is checked and grayed out.  Any ideas on why my physical network cards are not listed.  Thank you.

  • Need help to choose the correct setting in the virtual network Editor

    This is my first time using machines virtual period. What I do is implementing a laboratory MCSE to follow certain CBT courses, I bought. I created a team of three virtual machines - two of them that are running WIndows Server 2003 and the other WIndows XP. The lab wants to use the following TCP/IP parameters for the three machines (Server1, Server11 and XP1)

    Server1:

    192.168 1,201

    255.255.255.0

    192.168.1.254

    11 server: 192.168.1.211 (same gateway and subnet as Server1)

    XP1: 192.168.1.1 (ditto for the door and the subnet as Server1)

    Primary DNS is set to 192.168.1.201 (Server1 is DNS server).

    Default VMWorkstation allowed me to ping both servers very well without any additional configuration. My problem is when I try to fix the DNS redirector on Server1. Any DNS server IP address that I plug in I could not get my XP box to get out of the Internet. I know it's a problem with my virtual network settings, I'm sure. Problem is I don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you!

    General things:

    You cannot use the IP address ranges which are used somewhere else, and that the host might be able to see.

    Type ' ipconfig/all' on the host and the glance to the adapter VMnet8. Suppose you see a 192.168.30.1 there. This means that your network VMnet8 address is 192.168.30.0/24 (24 =, displayed subnet mask as 255.255.255.0).

    Your DNS and gateway for virtual systems would be 192.168.30.2.

    You can check this in the editor of virtual network on the NAT tab.

    To change the range of network addresses VMnet8 you must use the virtual network Editor.

    1. go on 'host Virtual Network Mapping.

    2. click on the ">" beside VMnet8 and choose "subnet".

    3. change address you need. It's the network address, so the last digit (in your case!) should be 0. The address range should not be used elsewhere (physical network, VMnet1).

    4. click on 'apply '.

    5. When you click on the ">" again and choose DHCP or NAT you can see that all addresses have been changed accordingly.

    When you enter ' ipconfig/all' to the host, you will see that the VMnet8 host adapter has an IP address of your selected range with 1 node address (e.g. 192.168.1.1).

    The gateway and the DNS so its node address + 1 (192.168.1.2).

  • Impossible to locate or select network adapters in the virtual network editor - W2K8 host

    I am running VMware 2.0.1 on a W2K8 64-bit host (with the windows firewall is disabled for now). VM images are all able to start and use the network bridged the host connection. I can access these images of virtual computer on the network, and even each image virtual machine running on that host computer has access to the public network.

    My problem is that I have three network adapters available on the host, but I can't individually select one of them in the virtual network Editor. The "Automatic gateways" checkbox is grayed, outside, tab automatic bypass, and if I try to select an adapter to exclude none appear in the dialog 'Add adapters excluded' that opens. In the virtual network mapping tab VMnet0 host, is set to be filled to an automatically chosen adapter and VMnet1 & 8 are configured to use their default VMware network cards. If I open the selections from drop down menu to one of the network adapter 10 VMnets listed in the virtual network mapping tab host there is no available alternative.

    Note: three network cards available on my W2K8 host server, one of them is a fault tolerant team consisting of two individual adapters and two other network cards are not associated. The team of the adapter has a network on our local network connection, but the other two adapters are connected to a private network. The fact that the images of the virtual machine running on that host are available on the network and be able to use the network indicates to me that my VMnet0 connection automatically open is finding and using the adapters together somehow (Luckily, by design?).

    I installed VMware 1.X and 2.0 on many host W2K3 servers and never encountered this problem before.

    If Win2008 follows a similar to Vista security model, then you must run AS administrator virtual network Editor.  Otherwise, you cannot make changes selections.

  • How to change the local IP on the virtual NETWORK adapter for Web server address

    Hi all

    I have a physical Windows system, on which I run VMware Workstation 9. Now on VMware I run Ubuntu 12.10 a LAMP for a Web server.
    Problem:
    Now, my local IP address for my NETWORK card virtual (using the Ubuntu one) at the address 192.168.159.7 and my router only emits the 10.0.0.x range IP addresses. So if I want to port forward to the virtual NETWORK adapter that has a 192.168 address, I can't, so my LAMP Web server are not accessible to the outside because the router does not send packets on port 80 to the virtual card... How to fix this?
    The only way I guess that is to be assigned an ip address of 10.0.0.x to the virtual NETWORK adapter?
    But how do I do this?
    I tried to do it on the host from the Windows machine with "get my IP address automatically", but she emits an 192.168 address every time...
    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    I guess that the virtual computer is currently configured to "NAT" or "Host-Only' networking! That would explain the 192.168.x.x IP address.

    There are 2 options to be able to access the web server on the virtual computer.

    1. with "NAT" network configured

    In this case forward port 80 to the IP address of the host and configure the port forwarding on the virtual computer in the "Virtual Network Editor. This way you can leave the IP address on the private network of 192 (if it is currently set to NAT)

    2. use "Bridged" network layout

    Reconfigure the virtual NETWORK adapter to the machine virtual networking "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine, assign an IP address from your router network (10.x.x.x) and do the port forwarding on the router directly to the IP address of the virtual machine.

  • Changing the connections of bridge without virtual network Editor

    I wish I could change the bridged network adapter without using the virtual network Editor, i.e. via a script or VIX. COM.

    The only files I found related to the virtual network editor are those located in the C:\ProgramData\VMware\, which none does not seem to allow me to specify the actual card to use in the bridge. While these files allow to specify which virtual network to use, I have to go a little further and change the real device for the virtual network. So instead of change between 'vmnet0' or "vmnet1", I need to change the NIC vmnet0 uses.

    I am running VMware Workstation 8.0.4 on Windows 7 64 bit.

  • Virtual network Editor

    Hello

    A number (12) of VMS, I moved from my old laptop under VM Workstation 9 to my new computer laptop with 10 Workstation (10.0.2 build-1744117).  The machines I spent are all affected with static addresses.  I added a new virtual network and so I gave him the IP address of my machines (192.168.95.0), but when I apply the settings, VM gives me a random address.

    First of all, is it possible to define your own IP address and the subnet in the virtual network Editor?  Example 192.168.95.0

    Second, networks, I added, I cannot delete them now.  Is it possible to delete the virtual network editor networks?

    Concerning

    Ewan.

    It is indeed unusual. Unfortunately I have an older version installed at the moment, and on this, everything works perfectly.

    I could think - other than a software bug-, is that maybe an application for Antivirus/end point protection is blocking something. What you can try is to temporarily disable these applications/services and also to start the virtual network with permissions editor high (by right clicking) "as an administrator".

  • How can I get first remove additional background and restore the original proportions?

    I edited to 15 minutes of video in 1080 p, in the end, I added an image to the sequence in 3000 x 2000 that changed the resolution and the aspect ratio of all the elements of the project. Every single video or image has black bars on the sides. I tried exporting at 1080 p in any case, in the hope that it might cut the surplus, but he just resized the sides black 1080 p so half of the screen is black with a little video in the Center. Zoom in does not work because it is not reset the original proportions. Using the parameters of the sequence to cut away half of the image in 1080 p so that either doesn't work for me. Is there a way to remove and recover the videos of how they have been or have I just lost the last 5 hours?

    After a few hours of research just about anywhere I could think and swearing like a sailor, I managed to find a solution by myself. When you export the media, in the upper left corner, there are options to scale the videos and one of them fixed it for me. Suffice to say in case someone else is having the same problem.

  • Export the virtual network settings

    I would like to request a feature to be able to export 'Virtual Network Settings' from my computer.

    Whenever I have install or re-install VMWare Workstation on a computer, I have to reconfigure my virtual network settings manually to match the configuration of static IP address I set up on my guest VMs.

    However, if I was able to just export the virtual network settings (and then import these settings into a new installation), I would be able to save time of configuration on each of my computers/workstations and thus avoid manual effort either myself or to inform my colleagues on how to configure their virtual network settings to take in charge the VMS the comments.
