Find files on the data store that have been removed from inventory, but not deleted from the disk

I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.

Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.

This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.

I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.

Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.

Out ideal would be something like:

MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]

MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]

A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

  • How to find files of outlook data on a hard drive removed from a windows xp machine?

    My phone no longer works and I was able to get most of the data of my backups that they did not understand my outlook e-mail accounts. I have the removed disk and got a hard drive enclosure. Problem is that I can not locate the outlook.pst file. Do you know which directory it is?

    The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserNameSettings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and the default name is Outlook.pst

    You can place Outlook files anywhere that you want so you will have to search for *.pst to find them all [assuming you have created several].

    If you want to put them in a place which is included in your backups in Windows 7, then:

    1 close Outlook after consuming at least once [the file is created on first use].

    2. go in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook [you must show hidden files to reveal the path to get there, or you can simply paste the path into the address box of Windows Explorer to join directly the]

    3 move the Outlook.pst you will find at a convenient location in My Documents.

    4. open Outlook.  Will report you that it cannot find Outlook.pst and will give you the ability to browse for it then point to where you put the file.  [When you open Outlook, it will look at the new location without asking any other]

  • Cannot find the boxes with inlay of text that have been converted from Quark

    Hi all.  It's kind of a weird one.  I have a lot of documents that have been converted to different versions of Quark to Indesign CS5.5.  I need to find all the text boxes that have a 0.139 text inset, which seems to be the default for text boxes that have been converted from Quark that have text box.  I'll find/replace, choose the command object and set my search criteria for spacing to insert at 0.139, leaving all other criteria being. He comes back and says no matches found.  If I create a new document and test it, it works fine.  Is there something that I am missing?  What is a "bug" due to a converted Quark document? I tried to uncheck all the attributes object except inset spacing without result.

    Doing this by hand is VERY time consuming as you might imagine.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think that your problem is with your conversion unit. 0,0139 inches do not match one point PostScript (it is equal to 1,0008 PostScript points). You should try the same method you were using, but rather try to enter "1 point" as your search query.

  • How do I recover pictures after they have been removed from film * and * icloud

    Hey there

    A few hours ago, I needed some space to take pictures during a show, so I deleted pictures in my camera roll which was taken 10 days ago and were supposed to be on my cloud. (-> After I took them I connected my phone to my mac and imported the photos.) There were even double rooms). But tonight, when I open Photos, for a minute, that the images were there, and then they disappeared. I can't find them anywhere: not in my library, not in the metadata files to the application, not in my cloud... I tried four different data recovery tools, none of them worked.

    Is there, by chance, another way for me to get those photos back?

  • Somehow, word, excel and powerpoint have been REMOVED from my office

    Okay, I don't know how - but the entire programming of word, powerpoint and excel have all were removed from my office. And no, I'm not kidding. And no, I'm not stupid; I don't really know how it happened.
    I was looking at the different programs installed on my desk, left for a while and when I came back, I couldn't open any documents. After a further inspection, I realized that all of the above programs are gone.
    I am very serious here and I hope that someone can help me. Is it possible that alright are still there on the hard drive and / or somewhere and can be put back? Please help me; I would be very grateful. Thank you.

    Double click on 'My Computer', the window will show you the different readers installed on your pc. Double-click the disk Local (c) under the title of hard drives and a window will open showing you the folders and files on that drive. Click on the search button, select all files and folders to search for and type Excel.exe in the "all or part of the name of the file:" box. Click on the button Search & see if it happens.
    Repeat for Winword.exe and Powerpnt.exe.

    If the search finds them, note their location - which will probably be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office * (where * can be a number).

  • How can I configure EchoSign for Sharepoint WebPart so that synchronization documents that have been sent from the same site?

    EchoSign for Sharepoint (Web) being essentially worthless with any site on 2500 documents, we broke to the top of our sites, so that the Web part can successfully navigate the site without delay. However, in the Web, there is an option (two green arrows) to synchronize with SharePoint. Unfortunately, users can synchronize any EchoSign document to a SharePoint library. I don't want users to synchronize documents which do not belong in this library. Y at - it all encoding settings that will allow only the synchronization or actually auto synchronize documents, on the same site?

    Hi Ben,

    Please refer to the doc: https://echosign.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#300000006IaDOWUzLXIiAnH9NO8_F9WhM_gpxBs

  • I asked firefox to block an image on my blog, but firefox has blocked all images on the blog, there are no images in posts, pages, the theme, each image have been removed from the blog. Is it possible to restore the images.

    Hi, I was working on my wordpress blog that uses the theme "Intrepidity". I wanted to remove a header image I added to the header but could not find a way to remove, so I click right for an option. the option I took was "do you want firefox to block the image? I clicked Yes, and this is the last time I saw a picture on the blog. Firefox has deleted all the images in the blog, even the side bars are gone, the header is not more, every single photo on the post, pages disappeared. The blog is just a shell now. Is there a way I could have restored the blog images. This is the name of the blog:
    http://www.weightlosscontrolreviews.com/

    With the display site, click the site identity button (for more details about what it is to see the How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure? article), and then click more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also the problems that cause to not show images.

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

  • I deleted the pictures twice in iPhotos and iCloud. The photos have been removed from books I've done this year.

    I do a book every year for my mother.  I did five or six, and this year was the only time that I had no problem.  I had duplicate an image to use it a second time in the book.  The book is very good.  It is listed under projects and saved in pdf format. After that I bought a book (by means of projects) for each Member of the family, I settled remove all duplicates created in iPhoto and stored on the cloud.  I deleted all but one of each photo (in some cases, there was 8-12 duplicates!)    When I went back to work in the projects, the pictures were also removed it.  They are always correct in the PDF but I can't buy a book through this version.  I start two books and you're wondering how to avoid any duplicates with these books.  It wasn't the situation of last year.

    iPhoto stores nothing in the cloud, do you mean the new Photos.app?
