Groups and permissions of the user is added to the local disk post-conversion?

We currently have a security policy with our Windows servers requiring admins to remove unnecessary security groups and users on the local disks. Basically, the SYSTEM and administrators retain full control, but all other users and groups are deleted for security reasons. We find that during a P2V conversion/clone servers, security groups and users are added to the readers of these new virtual machines (see screenshots below):

Security before and after conversion. Could this be a function of the sysprep post-conversion tasks that work?

Until now, we thought that, apart from the usual physical changes inherent to a clone, security remains unchanged. We follow best practices for conversion of these machines (running this as a local administrator account, run this converter installed on the machine, by stopping services as much as possible and so on).

http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6174/pre-permissions.pnghttp://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6181/post-permissions.png

You can compare it to a system where you don't resize volumes, but all other factors are the same?

If you reduce the size of a hard disk volume during the conversion, it will make a copy of file by file from the source to the destination devices.  We may have to add permissions for the conversion process, but I don't know if it is real.

If you maintain or increase the size of the hard drive, it is a clone of block level which should be a bit-by-bit copy the source system.

Kind regards

  • Access denied to the local disk (D)

    Hello
    I have a problem with windows 7. In fact, I changed the permissions on the local drive (D) to "total control has declined. I tried to go back to the 'authorized' by following the tutorial posted on your support site, but I am facing a tiring situation, since I have to repeat the process (right click--> Properties/Security /...) for each subfolder and the thousands of files in the folder. Is there a solution to this problem? If I install a new system that will overcome the problem?
    Please help me I'm stuck!

    I changed the permissions on the local disk (D) "total control has declined.

    Why would you do that?

    You will need to take ownership of files to repair the damage - see here:

  • Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

    I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

  • Change sharing permissions, now I can't access the local disk

    Hello all, I have two computers, both running windows 7 (one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit) connected via LAN and WiFi. One of them has all of the local disk shared with full compensation for everyone (full control). I decided to remove these permissions and control to "deny". Then I had to cancel the task and decided to resume later. HURT, now I've lost access to this drive, even though I can access some files. When I try to enter in the drive, an error message appears saying "C: is not accessible. Access is denied. I did some research and it seems to be a common problem, but I followed all the steps did not work. It shows as 0 bytes and security options does not show anything, but "you don't have permission to view or change the permissions of the object settings. I tried to adapt, even in safe mode and as administrator, do not to prevail. It keeps saying 'access denied' I also tried to set a hidden administrator account, but the account manager is 'not available for my system' when I made these unfortunate changes, it was not this computer but on the other, I think it might be the reason. Now, I can not access my local disk or change anything. Please, help me, I can't find a solution to this mess!

    I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another. I tried to use the copy and paste, but when I try to open the catalog on my laptop lightrooom cannot find the photos because he is always looking for them on the old hard drive. How can I get lightroom to get on the new drive? When I try to manually connect the photos they disappear just from any folder, they are in Lightroom.

    As you have already moved the catalog and the files on the hard disk up, visit this link on how to find missing images/files

    I suggest you look for missing files.

    The images do not disappear, but after the relining, they should be available under the new hard drive.

    1. what type of drive is D? Is - this another partition on the same disk?

    2 Windows operating system you are using?

    You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

    a. navigate to the location (username) C:\Users\.
    b. right click on the folder that you want to change the location, and then select Properties.

  • Problems downloading a file of muse for the first time. Museutils.js is not on the local disk on the file index.html.

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help because I'm a little desperate.

    I started to design a page with a muse of Qooqee model: SENSE.

    I worked for a month on this issue. When I was about to finish, I got a message that there is a new version of Muse to update. I did the update when I was still working in the design.

    When I finished the desktop version, I downloaded using the "upload to the ftp host" button. All fine until he has gave a "error on the index.html file.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 2.02.16 PM.png

    So, I was unable to complete the first uploaded to the online page.

    My husband, who knows a bit about coding, opened the index.html file, and we have seen a warning: MUSEUTILS. JS IS NOT ON THE LOCAL DISK.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 9.43.24 PM.png

    Reading questions similar to the forum that I can guess that the problem has been built with I started with the earlier version of the Muse and updated the Muse version in the workplace, when I finished the page.

    Now, the page is not alive because I am not able to download the file.

    I don't know if that's the problem, however. I downloaded a fresh sense of QooQee model and erase all content and pages name I will use them (he has added a few pages and I moved the contact page somewhere else on the site map). Then, publish the page Go Daddy and have the same problem. Error on the index.html file. For that I am lost again, because everything has been done with the same version of Muse and the latest model of sense (I don't know how they update the models).Screen Shot 2016-02-18 at 12.12.01 PM.png

    Can you please give an idea on how to solve the problem? What I have to redo the entire page?

    Thanks in advance, you are my last hope.

    Good to see that we can exclude a Muse for the functioning and the collection of production. The problem must lie in the specifics and/or requirements of GoDaddy, hosting provider. The Muse team is very aware of being a very popular hosting provider GoDaddy , so they want to learn all the occasional problems or quirks that might appear with Muse in combination with these suppliers. It might have to do with the current version of Muse, but it could also be a coincidence that GoDaddy has begun to change some things on their side as well. Or it could even be a Gremlin (colloquial term for a software bug temporary and inexplicable) blocking a circuit which seems to happen from time to time...

    Are you sure that you follow all the advice and guidelines in this FAQ: download an Adobe Muse of the site to a third-party hosting service ?

  • VCenter 4.1 connect to iso image on the local disk

    Hello

    I have a question about certain permissions in vcenter 4.1 until now, we have used vcenter 4.0 and we had a few asigned security role with permisions them following: all privileges: Virtual Machine: Interaction: configure support CD; Configure floppy Media; Interaction of the console; Turn on; Power off; Reset.

    It is basically the minimum requirements for some of our clients to witch we sell vps servers.

    My problem is: given that I've updated vcenter 4.1 security to configure cd media does not seem work apropriately. The only option witch is not grayed out is connect to the host device. The possibility to connect to iso image on the local disk or connect to the physical drive D: (local client CD-ROM) are greyed out.

    Someone knows something about this security role change and what kind of extended privileges do I have to add in order to make it work?

    Hello

    I think you should also "connection device"...

    In addition, there may be one advanced virtual computer that denies this capability... Here are the parameters of the isolation and many guides say to turn it off.

    I just installed DW 13.2.  Linked files (all CSS, scripts...) "are not on the local disk" - all works in CS6. Help...

    When I insert one of the page of the Web site, it shows in the design window.  But when I try to bring any document linked in the left window, code, it is empty and the message says: "whatever.css is not on the local drive.  Also, when I click on LIVE, the file looks like she does not see the file CSS, no images.

    The same site looks and works OK in the DW CS6.

    I'm on Maverick - 2012 Mac Pro - 2 x 2.66 12-core, 64 GB of RAM.

    I configured the same way as CS6 preferences.  Same location of the site, same links.

    Am I missing something?  What should I do?  I uninstalled the DW CC, cleaned pref and installed it again.  Same question.

    Help, please.

    I think, I solved the problem, but I still think that the Dreamweaver does not recognize the addresses.

    I then drive CC_A BB_A Web sites (these are the actual names of the readers).  It's always the disk 'data', apart from the OS, but with a different name.  everything works.  Opening files referred to in the script window, 'live' works as supposed.

    I can only speculate that readers 'CC_A' name has confused the program called CC.

    I can find no other explanation, since, in addition to the name of the drive - everything else is the same.

    Thanks for trying to help.

    Hi Nick,

    We had a few reports of this problem with the media as well.  You can try these workaround solutions and let us know how it goes?

    1. Make sure that you do not have other installers at the same time (see the "msiexec.exe" Task Manager)
    2. Make sure you have enough free hard disk space
    3. Restart your computer (installers are sometimes tricky if the installer from some other app ran earlier but is still saving a few tasks until the next reboot).
    4. Run the installer as admin, as follows:
      1. Click with the right button on the "Command Prompt" application and choose Run as administrator
      2. Use cd to navigate to the folder where you downloaded the .msi installation file
      3. Run the following: msiexec /i «2.msi Adobe Edge Code Preview»
