Enabling audio in a Windows server 2008 R2 host

I need to activate the audio in Windows Server 2008 R2 guest VM hosted by a 5.0 ESXi host in a vSphere 5.0 environment.

The guest VM should be accessible via Remote Desktop.

Windows 7 guest VM in the same host have audio enabled and works very well, so I suspect there is a problem in Windows server 2008 R2.

Anyone have audio confngured in a STRP R2 to Windows server 2008?

  • Qosmio F30 audio driver for Windows Server 2008

    I'm only running a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 installed. The server sees my Sound Driver, but it does not recognize it and ask for driver all the time. I tried running the installer of Sound Driver from the CD, but it didn't work, said: not supported operating system. I tried a driver all over the web and I found none. Can someone help to find this driver for me or let me know it it is possible to manually install this driver?

    I will be grateful for any help.

    As you probably know that Qosmio F30 is not designed to be used as a server and general support Toshiba doesn t Server2008. All you can do is to identify the manufacturer of the sound card and try to find the driver on its support page.

    Boyfriend sorry but that s all I can say about it.

    Separated from this thread.

    Joachim

    When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?

    KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?

    Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).

    By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:

    Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.

    My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

  • What "unmapped user access" for NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2?

    In the beginning, I followed this Youtube video to set up an NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=BQ8Q_vsiksg

    Please note that the default option to allow to access Unix unmapped user is not changed (to about 1 min 57 sec).

    Then I found another article at http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/07/create-nfs-datastore-for-esx-in-windows.html

    But in this article, I like to select allow anonymous access (instead of allow access Unix unmapped user).

    So who is correct?  Or both are correct (which means that this 'unmapped user access' is not serious)?

    And why should we have to allow root access (in the NFS share permissions dialog box)?  What a security risk?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Impossible to install windows server 2008 on virtual machine

    I installed vmware 9 without any problems, but when I create a virtual machine and I want to install windows server 2008 on it, I see this error:

    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.
    Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.
    (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."
    2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.

    It is important to ensure that you are closing the vApp and not the virtual machine under the vApp.  If you just stop the virtual machine, you will get the behavior you describe.

  • Clone Windows Server 2008 VM, Sysprep?

    Aloha from Hawaii!

    I ran into a situation where I'm cloning a VM Windows Server 2008 R2. We have a basic vanilla installation, updates are performed, and Windows is enabled on this virtual machine. We also have an enterprise multiactivation license. The final goal is to be able to clone the virtual machine several times, insert the roles and give it an identity of the vanilla configuration.

    My question is:

    What are the steps so that the cloned VM work properly with the other cloned VM in the same installation of vanilla, but have different roles (application server, database server, etc.). I'm leaning toward the type Sysprep command.

    Mahalo!

    Hello Aloha808,

    Looks like you have already done most of the work to be done: you have an installation of base which is updated. You have a vCenter environment? This will allow you to turn this 'basic vanilla install' into a model. If you don't do this, you must clone the virtual machine and then make a sysprep manually (be sure to change the SID).

    If you have vCenter: convert this virtual machine into a template to use as server 'statue of gold"which will create other servers. Then, you create a customization specification. It is located in the vSphere Client under Home > Manager Customization specifications (here's a link with more information). Finally, make you a "deploy model" on the model, enter server information and then apply the customization to deployment. VMware will then sysprep for you.

    Here is an another good writeup on making a template with Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 and hot add processors

  • Performance issues with Windows Server 2008 host

    Hi all

    If I use a Windows Server 2008 host on my ESXi 4 installation.  I've recently upgraded to version 4 and had previously experienced similar problems and 3.5.  I also improved the hardware in the virtual computer to version 7 on all my guest OS.  The host in question is a file server.  Essentially what happens is sometimes that if a user opens a document (for most of the audio and/or video documents), the media file will take a minute or two to load then jump during playback.  If it's something like a file PDF/Word/Excel, the respective program crashes when the file loads or changes are saved, taking about a minute to respond to the user to enter again.  This problem is also very sparadic.  I even had this problem occurs when I'm the only user accessing the file server.  The specification of my VMware host is 3.2 GHz Xeon dual processor and 7 GB of RAM.  Two data warehouses are hosted on internal SATA hard drives.  ESXi is on the build 219382.  VMware tools is installed and update on all guest OS so far.  With regard to the use of the resources on the computer host, the memory usage with all my virtual machines running is almost always around 5.2 GB on the 7 available and the CPU usage is usually around 2 GHz.

    Looking at the logs performance monitor, I noticed an increase in the use of the disc during the shutdowns.  Are there utilities built to test the internal hard drives to find errors?  If this isn't the case, anyone recommend a utility that I can use to do this?

    Other ideas are also welcome.

    As mentioned disk SATA performance is less than ideal, or even acceptable by many people. The SATA drives in a configuration having non-RAID which makes it doubly Yes. If they were at least in a RAID 0, 0 + 1 or 5 configuration you would have best performance among readers (would be loath to 0 though, since there is no parity involved).

    Using the means on board mode SATA drive controller (or not RAID) of the SATA it runs the performance as low as possible.

    I wouldn't have even thought to have a server, or a system, used as a server that does not use RAID functions at least for redundancy. Couple that with discs that aren't going to cause bottlenecks as a standard too. Who used to refer to SCSI drives high speed, but also means using SAS drives these days (since they are replacing older parallel SCSI drives). The most difficult configurations for ESX, are performed on the server class hardware, which has access to a shared storage (which is high performance) on a fast network (Go to our days, or fiber) or a RAID array internally, which will not cause performance problems.

    You can try setting the server configuration, you have now, but that will only take you so far. You will need to the major weak links in the system. A (a major) is the SATA storage as stand-alone drives. The other is a network of 100 MB, which isn't too bad, but is still a performance hit when you share all traffic with these two ports. Moving to a GB switch could help the part of the question, but you will still have to solve problems of disk performance. If there is a decent amount of shared storage attached network where you are, see if they can give you a reasonable amount for the servers you are running on the host computer. Of course, you'll want to also be on the fastest possible network/connection of this storage.

  • VMware fusion 3 - adjustment to comments does not work with Windows Server 2008

    I use 3 Fusion with existing image from Fusion 2.x on Windows Server 2008. After the upgrade to Fusiion 3 (I upgraded VMware tools (I've also tried their uninstall and reinstall) too) the guest operating system does not change the resolution when resizing the window. It does not change the resolution if/when I goes into full screen mode. I have an 'exclamation' mark in Device Manager and it says that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) ». I tried with and without 3D acceleration enabled.

    WS2008 is where I spend most of my time in fusion, I hope that this can be solved somehow (a config directive file or something perhaps?)?

    Thank you

    Miha.

    He had a similar position and the problem is specific to the version of the virtual machine virtual material.

    Can upgrade you your VM hardware version? (Fusion UI have probably an option present as 'version Upgrade VM HW'... cannot check now but 90% sure about that.)
