How can I safely expand the vdisk my vCenter server located on?
Hey all, I'm a fairly recent convert to VMware and I really like what it has to offer. I'm still learning about it even after my class a week about a month ago. My current dilemma is that my vCenter server is a virtual machine sitting on a 120 GB vdisk but when I go to the summary page for this virtual machine storage usage is 124,17 GB. I was going to close vCenter and vSphere Client software to increase the size of the disk, but I was afraid that that affect my running virtual machines? I tried Googling and couldn't find anything definitive either way. So, can I safely stop vCenter and increase its size to drive this way? If this is not the case, what is the best way to increase the size of the disk?
Thank you
Joe B
Assuming that it is a virtual Windows machine (vCenter Server is also available as a Linux-based appliance) you don't need to shut down the guest operating system. Just resize the virtual disk of the virtual machine in the virtual machine settings and then increase the size of the partition in the disk of the guest Manager.
BTW. used 124 GB drive space intended to trade files of the virtual machine, and a few configuration files.

My hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder. How can I safely remove the right files in this folder? Vista Home Premium 64 bit is my os.
Hi templar_39,
DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.
This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.
Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.
If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

The school where I teach is recently spent all gmail accounts. To use Thunderbird, I had to register again, which gives me two accounts Thunderbird on the same column on the left. As far I can tell, everything has migrated to the new account. Can I remove the old one - or hide in some way? Is it safe to delete? And how do I do it.
If you are sure that there are no mail to be kept in the old account, it can be deleted.
Press Alt or F10, where the menu bar is hidden.
In the main menu bar:
Tools - account settings
Select the account to be deleted in the left pane.
Select 'Delete account' in the drop down menu "Action counts" at the bottom. -

How can upgrade the extensions of vcenter Server version 5.0.0.16964
I upgraded vCenter Server 4.1 to version 5.0, but a message box has been invited during the process of upgrading to vCenter which is attached with this post. Please help how can install extensions to upgrade version of vCenter server 5.0.0.16964.
Use the vSphere client (when it is connected to the vCenter Server 5) and check plugins/extensions you installed here: Menu "Plugins / manage plugins.
You must update the plugin Manager Update to the new version. If everything else is enabled and work so no more away from updates are required.

Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.
- 2
Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.
- 3
If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.
- 4
Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.
- 5
The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.
- 6
The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.
- If you have already backed up all important data on this user account, you can safely click on 'delete files '.
- If you do not, you must click "keep files".

Can I safely remove the Windows.old files?
What's up guys?, I have a Compaq Presario supplied with the Windows Vista operating system, 32-bit. I backed up all my drivers on DVD and I downloaded a clean copy of Vista using an ISO on a DVD burner. I reinstalled the new copy put in my original product key, and he agreed. I reinstalled my drivers and all seems to work fine. I transferred all my data, mp3, jpeg, etc. for Flash readers and/or new programs on the new OS. The reason for the new OS was a virus infection which partially damaged the registry. I really want to keep these files in the system for obvious reasons. Can I safely delete the files "Windows.old" and what would be the best way to do it?

can I safely remove the library documents reconstituted in windows 7?
My computer (drive C) is a 9 GB of satiety, and I need to reclaim space for data. Can I safely delete the files in the folder of reconstituted under my documents document library?
If not, how can I recover more disk space?My computer (drive C) is a 9 GB of satiety, and I need to reclaim space for data. Can I safely delete the files in the folder of reconstituted under my documents document library?
If not, how can I recover more disk space?Hello
You must understand a basic first concept.
Libraries in Windows 7 do not contain the physical files. They show only a virtual display of the physical files that are contained in other physical files that have been added to the library.
Example:
By default, the Document library displays the files that are contained in the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents folder and the folder C:\Users\Public\Public Documents .
If you simply right click and delete the Document library, it will not add any free space on the C: drive.
To add free space on the C: drive, you need to remove the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents to the folder that contains the actual files.
Before you do, make sure that you have backed up the files you do not want to lose.
The best way to add free space on the C: drive, would be to move the Documents and other user folders to another drive internal or external.
See the Second Option in the following tutorial.

If you mean the shooting on the campaign of the iPhone, you have not. If Apple sees your work and think it would be a good fit, they as you approach. So, better than you can do is put your work out there on things like Instagram.

How can I transfer only the music I want?
Hello.
Our iMac iTunes is full of music for the whole family. How can I transfer only the songs I want on my iPod and my iPad?
Second...
When connecting from my iPad to my iMac USB cable the iPad goes into sync mode and transfers all sorts of things on the iMac and gets things from him. All I want is to transfer my music? How can I do this?
Create your own playlists in iTunes.
Connect your iDevice to the iMac - in the main iTunes window select your iDevice - menu drop-down upper left box located to the left of the music-movies, etc.
You will see a list of 'Settings' for this device - select a tab and check the boxes of what content you want on your device.
Also in the Group of settings select 'Summary' - from there, in the 'Options' section, you have a few additional items to choose from.
