• Allocation maximum vCPU for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running on vSphere 4 Enterprise (ESXi 4.1)

  Hello

  I have a guest of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x 64) running on ESXi 4.1 with a vSphere Enterprise license 4. I believe that the comments and hypervisor should be allowed for and support 8 virtual processors, but when I add more than 4 and try to turn on the virtual machine, I get "market of the VM [virtual computer name] Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors but the host only supports 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  The selected guest OS is 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)'. There is no option in the drop down menu to 2008, Enterprise Edition.

  This configuration is actually supported? If so, what should I do to get it working?

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  Hi Matt.

  .. .on ESXi 4.1 with a vSphere Enterprise license 4...

  For vSphere 4, you need an Enterprise Plus license if want to create 8 vCPU VMs.
  In vSphere 5 will do a license...

• Task Scheduler in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition

  We have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition by using the Task Scheduler to run 4 tasks on a daily basis. Recently, we have applied the Microsoft updates and restarted the server, and now the scheduled tasks do not work with the field. It says logon failure: unknown username and password incorrect (0x8007052E). The domain administrator credentials (or domain administrator credentials), we applied initially used but it still does not work, but it works with the local administrator account. A new task was created by using the credentials of the domain and the task could not start showing the username and password wrong. I studied unsuccessfully Microsoft Knowledge base. Please advise on how we solve this problem?

  For assistance, please ask for help in the Forums Microsoft TechNet for Windows Server.

  Thank you & good luck.

• Windows Server 2008 Enterprise upgrade of 2008 has beaten the bad standard

  Hello

  I installed a virtual server for production of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x 86/i386, support of license Volume and MAK), because I needed some additional features in the Enterprise edition.  During the upgrade process, the server hung a few times, requiring a "hard reset" to continue the installation (which seems normal for the installation of Server 2008 on this virtual hardware).

  However, after the installation is "complete", the server seems badly broken: the local view is empty, with a mobile mouse pointer.  Remote Desktop connection with takes a long time (more than an hour!, even after additional restart), to go beyond 'Application user settings', and once connected, the basic points are broken: starting server manager reports that it might not activate a plugin whose GUID I can't find in a web search, open the 'centre' of the network shows a blank window by typing "NET START someservicename" or 'SC START someservicename' hangs rather than launch this service or signals an error.

  Anyone know how to get out of this quagmire, short copy the latest data and wiping the hard drive?

  Please repost your request in one of the most appropriate Microsoft Windows Server Forums, thank you!

• Can I run Virtual PC Vista Home host and Server 2008 R2 comments?

  I am running Windows Vista family in a workstation with 2 GB of RAM, 1.2 Ghz Intel Core Duo. I would like to run Virtual PC to install Windows Server 2008 R2. What do you think it will work ok?

  Thank you.

  You * can *-really, the question is "Why would you?" because the server would be limited (severely) by bothe, VPC restrictions and those of the home edition. This is a configuration of (very) not supported.

  So not the areas and very limited display features.

  Many of you also on the low side of the RAM in the configuration or vice versa - I recommend at least 3 GB so that you can didicate at least 1 GB at the prompt, and still have room to move around in the host. You can allocate the guest at best - even if WIn7/ServerR2 is less expensive RAM than Vista.

• Windows Server 2008 R2 comments: swap file problem

  I have several guests Windiows Server 2008 R2.

  What is the best way to rate, and then place the Windows swap file?

  For the physical Windows servers, many people suggest to allocate a fixed size page file whose size is 1.5 times the RAM: does make sense for virtual machines hosted as well?

  Is there a best practice or guideline to refer to?

  As noted by A.P. the 1.5 x that RAM is really just an arbitrary number someone at Microsoft came at a time with and then walked into best practices with no real valid reason.

  However, it could be a few things to consider:

  Leave for the managed system is the easiest way, but could lead to a greater fragmentation of your C: drive.

  If the definition of a fixed size you should really consider to approve how much space you like Windows to be able to push in the pagefile with an internal memory. Usually if the machine Windows have a decent amount of RAM and page file usage is quite low.

  If adding an another virtual hard disk to the virtual computer and put the pagefile.sys on which you have a little more complex configuration, but could achieve savings if possible to exclude that drive in your backup tool and replication VM settings (if used). You could also possible to put all the files of comments VM on a sort of thin provisioned LUNS/NFS because it consumes a lot of space, but be used very little.

• Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2 VMware tools installation - "device installation was prevented by a strategy."

  P2V'ed a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server using the stand-alone converter. Converted OK, can launch the machine in 10 Workstation, log with the ID of the administrator, but no network adapter or mouse. Several web search performance of the possible solutions for this - change the local security policy to everyone, the services to disable Ctrl-M - they have not worked with me. After several uninstall, re-installation of VMware tools (manually via the keyboard navigation for the update of the operating system host by mapping shared folders), now when the machine starts I see in the system, try "device installation was prevented by a policy." Do not see anything particularly related to, with this verbiage, at the request of Windows and security logs events. In addition, the physical machine has been sent, is no longer available unfortunately, but I think that it is just config and can be corrected.

  Any help appreciated in advance.

  1. Change the strategy of Local computer, computer, Configuration models of administration, system, Device Installation Restrictions of Installation of device to ' not configured.'
  2. Delete all the USB unknown devices in Device Manager, then do a search for the hardware changes.

  Both of the above have been made manually via the keyboard navigation, but analysis of changes of material made me my mouse back and let me launch the installation of VMware tools.

  Woot!

• ESX 3.5 and windows server 2008

  It appears, from what I can find this server running 2008 clustered is not yet supported by vmware.  From the update 4 is this always the case?  Also is there still no support for scsi-3 reservations?  Of course, this means I have to use an ISCSI target for win2k8 clustering.

  There is no support for clustering Win2K8 correct.
