How do I know if the patch has already been installed on ESXi 5.0?
I describe the installation of patches ESXi on a group of servers (quarterly) who have not access to Internet, Update Manager is not an option. I would like to be able to identify if a particular patch has already been installed so that I can jump through a script.
On ESX 3.5, you might look to see if it was in etc/vmware/patchdb/patch_name.xml, but I can't find something similar in ESXi 5.0.
Vib esxcli software controls do not seem to accept/meet with the zip file names I can say. They seem to dig deeper into zip files that I want to go.
The closest I can find is 'grep - c patchname /var/log/esxupdate.log' for a given parcel (i.e. ESXi-500-201207001) and if there are in the file then it has probably been installed. In addition, there is no clean text that I can pick up on as "Patch ESXi-500-xxxxxxxxx sucessfully installed" that slows me down. This approach has problems if the script is interrupted in the middle of the installation of a patch. When it is run again, it think the patch as it has already been installed and we could actually lose a patch.
If there is no way for this identify programmatically, I always install each patch in my quarterly updates (until the patch becomes obsolete). I can't depend on my user to always run these quarterly updates, so I have to be able to catch up its system, if he missed a quarter.
Appreciate any suggerstions
There is no need to install the patches separately one after the other if you use a profile of the host to update your hosts.
Basically, a host profile is a set of files VIB forming a certain level of patch of ESXi.
1. download the bundle off line ESXi500-201209001 (or what ever is the most recent) from the portal to download patch (a direct link is https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-360-20120918-947362/ESXi500-201209001.zip)
2. download the zip file in a shared data store
3. update your hosts with the command
esxcli software profile update /path/to/ESXi500-201209001.zip d Pei ESXi 5.0.0 - 20120904001-standard
(change/path/to the directory of the correct data store)

FindByIP fails with «the object has already been deleteted...» »
I use axis2c to access VM web services. I can successfully recover a ServiceInstance a Login.
I then try to find a virtual machine by sending the following text:
" & lt; soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv = ' http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/SOAP/envelope/ "& gt;" & lt; soapenv:body & gt; & lt; n: FindByIp xmlns:n = "urn: vim25" & gt; & lt; n: _this type = "Indexderecherche" & gt; FindByIp & lt; / n: _this & gt; & lt; n: ip & gt; 10.177.8.157 & lt; / n: ip & gt; & lt; n: vmSearch & gt; true & lt; / n: vmSearch & gt; & lt; / n: FindByIp & gt; & lt; / soapenv:Body & gt; & lt; / soapenv:Envelope & gt;

Something wrong in your SOAP request. The 'object' mentioned in the fault Declaration does NOT mean the subject of the virtual machine that you are trying to perform a search by IP, but the object of the SerachIndex with which the FindByIp() method is defined.
< n: _this type = "Indexderecherche" > FindByIp < / n: _this >
should be
< n: _this type = "Indexderecherche" > Indexderecherche < / n: _this >
I'm not very sure if the value of the second Indexderecherche, maybe it's 'Indexderecherche', but you can check with the CROWD.
The "FindByIp" must be earlier to < n: _this.
In addition, I don't have a "n" before namespace. How do you have it?

My computer crashed and I tried to reinstall cs5 or cs3, both have been upgraded to d/l engraved on asked to insert the cs3 and drive 5, but he was already in the drive I installed to win 10. CS5 has already been installed and turn off before the attempt to re - install. I then tried my copy of CS3 same results. Then I tried CS2 it installs and works, but cannot activate online and the phone activation is no longer available it tells me to check the forums?
First of all, that the software is old enough so that it does not at all with Windows 10... but
An idea that MAY work to install or run some programs in Windows old 10
CS2 (or earlier version) software activation server replacement
NOTE that CS2 will not install on a Mac "modern."

How will I know if the history has been erased?
Of course, if the whole story is off, you know. But because FF provides partial compensation, how do I know if this has been done? I know I need probably better parental controls in place; This is a problem. But still, I would like to know how do I know if the story is partially cleared.
You can not. If you want to keep track of the Web sites that are visited, then you need to install a program like netnanny to control this traffic.

How to apply a character Style that has already been made in a document model?
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who helps. I am a complete newbie to the script and appreciate your help.
I mainly use GREP expressions to search for patterns in a document and apply a character Style that has already been done. This character style did not help script, but just in InDesign when the production and implementation of the model.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument; //Clear the find/change grep preferences. app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; //Set the find options. app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false; app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false; app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false; app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false; app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false; //GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+\n"; //Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt. app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps; app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold"; app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12"; myDoc.changeGrep(); //Clear the find/change preferences after the search. app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
This is how I currently. I will manually define the changes made to the text. The problem is, each model uses a different set of fonts and not all use them "BOLD", for example Sabon can use THIS "BOLD".
I would like to know how to apply a character Style and tried to look, but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "A";

How do I know if the laptop has been refurbished HP?
Product: HP G62-340US
Hello
I bought this laptop on EBay they had listed renovated manufacturing, I even sent them a message asking where this product has been renovated since then and they sayed manufacturing. Finally anyway how can I know that this product was actually refurbished at HP? Not considering, it is serial number located anywhere on this laptop.
-Thank you
If there is no HP sticker on the laptop (it may be in the Bay of battery or under the protection of the memory-hard drive according to the model), then is is not rehabilitated by HP.
If you place the HP sticker then product number (p/n) will reflect an R in the string just before the #.
See this post
Sticker HP will look like this, #2 is the number of the product
