• How to prevent the VMware Tools reset the size of my text on 4 k display

  Hello

  I use 12 Workstation on a Dell XPS 15 9550 with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4 k).  I was able to move on virtual machines running Win 7 from another system where the virtual machines were running at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.  These virtual machines are now running at 1920 x 1080 on the Dell.  (I did it by using the VM settings > display and set a max and running full screen resolution).  The problem is that the text and icons are displayed at 150% the size. I can use the Win 7 Desktop > resolution to 100% and everything is the way I need it, but when I do this change, VMware Tools appears saying that I need to log out and back in.  If I do this the text/icons are at 150%.

  How can I get VMware Tools to stop the reset of this size from 100% to 150%?

  Thank you.

  Here is the solution:

  > Turn on the virtual machine.

  > Click VM > settings > select view.

  > Uncheck the option scale to display "automatically adjust the size of the user interface on the VM.

  > Disconnect and connect when VMware Tools invites.

  > You can now change the font size in the virtual machine to 100%.

  > Disconnect and connect.

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  Also, when folders are enabled it is my understanding that an addition is made to the guest OS network providers.  What is the impact of the network provider of shared folders moving further towards the bottom of the list of purchase orders (network connections, advanced, advanced settings, purchase order).

  As far as I KNOW, this is not possible if it running ESX (i)

  KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1317 tire

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• Update the VMware Tools without installing gcc

  Hello everyone,

  I have a couple of boxes Debian and Ubuntu (& gt; 100) in various race DMZ. When I am updating the linux kernel, I have to update the VMware tools as well. My problem is that these boxes are not allowed to have an Internet connection and an installed gcc.

  Does anyone has an idea how Handel who? Is it not possible to have a central host where the new version of VMware tools are compiled and one can distribute them to other boxes?

  Thanks in advance!

• Installation of the VMware tools on PCLinuxOS comments

  Hi all

  I started to play with VMware player (version 6.0.3). I made a new virtual machine and install PCLinuxOS on it. I now want to install VMware tools on this comment, so I click on the drive-> manage-> install VMware tools. However, nothing seems to happen, and I've waited more than an hour. When I click on the drive-> manage according to me, it is said (download VMware tools). The host and the VM guest have access to internet. Could be blocking download, or in any way I can solve the problem? Thank you very much for your help - J

  You are running on Windows or Linux, VMware Player host? If you are running on the WIndows host, download the file: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/6.0.3/1895310/windows/packages/tools-linux-9.6.2.exe.tar

  Extract the. EXE file and run it. EXE file on host it will silently install the ISO Images of VMware Tools in the working directory of VMware Player.

  After that, try to reinstall the VMware Tools on VM, simply go to the menu player-> manage-> install VMware Tools.

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  I have a few virtual machines with a yellow exclamation mark on the vmware tools icon indicating that they can be updated. When I try and update vmware tools manually, I get the error: "VMware ISO image tools exist or is inaccessible. See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem". Below in the window of the error stack, I see messages, 'called 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' or object < servername > ESXi '192.168.3.39' failed. Cannot install VMware Tools.

If your product comes with the module of VMware tools, VMware ESX to reinstall, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine. »

  I got messages stating I must check vmtools directory symbolic links and I think that those who are present. I also tried to manually navigate to the image file, but it seems that there is a problem any with the file system. See the images below:

  

  ESXi installed on a USB key. The directory of the iso images is corrupt? Can anyone help me on how can I fix? Should I just replace the USB key, or is there another way?

  See the input / output error on the screen usually indicates a faulty drive (or in this case device USB). I wouldn't waste a lot of time and replace the USB key.

• Update the VMWare tools on all machines virtual Windows

  Is it possible to use the PowerCLI update the VMWare tools on all virtual Windows machines to the latest version. I know I can do this individuall but I wanted to see if there a way to use something similar to a for each loop through a virtual machine at a time. I'm new to the power of vmware and the vix api cli and it's the first task I am trying automate (automating installation of all guests including linux would be perfect if I could loop through all clients using the same command). I am a new detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Loren

  It's pretty simple in his PowerCLI, you combine just 2 cmdlets with a pipeline.

  Get - VM | Update-Tools

  You can make the choice of the guests a little more complex.

  For example:

  Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-Tools

  will update only the tools on customers whose name starts with SRV.

  See the cmdlet Get - VM for more details.

  You can also set it update tools should immediately reboot if necessary.

  What you can do with the NoReboot parameter on the cmdlet Update-Tools .

  Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-tools - NoReboot

• How to apply the gradient to the entire page

  Hello

  Can someone tell me please how to apply the gradient to the entire page as a gradient background color.

  I tried for centuries and can not see the routes to apply background color

  any ideas? step by step please I really get lost because I'm new to Indesign and do not know the names of all the tools.

  Thank you

  If you want to this gradient to print (or export) with the page, and then you have to draw a rectangle and fill with the gradient.

  If you want on a number of pages, put the rectangle on a master page. You might want to add a layer and move it to the back, put the rectangle on that layer, then lock the layer.

• How to apply the "Slate Pro Light" using CSS font?

  Hello

  Could you tell me how to apply the font of "Slate Pro Light" using CSS? I have not found a solution for the 'Light' slate Pro variation selection.

  Thank you.

  I usually use the definition of CSS of police-family at the following address on my html and body elements:

  font-family: "Slate Pro", Slate, "Myriad Pro", "BBAlpha Sans", Helvetica;
  

  Potentially adding "slate Pro Light" should do the trick. Alternatively, you could take advantage of the make-weight property when you need a lighter framework:

  font-weight: normal|bold|bolder|lighter|number|initial|inherit;
  

  In this case, lighter, might do the trick?
  

• How to apply the strategy of UCS1.4 collection (1 d)

  Hi all

  I try to collect statistics on the performance of the network. but do not know how to apply the policy to the collection.

  Service profile, I cam see political Stats. But within the political framework of Stats, there are onlu available in config/choice is political threshold.

  Can someone help out me? Thank you very much!

  I think this is what you are looking for?
  
  UCS stores the past 5 statistics records at the "Reporting Interval" setting;
  
  There is no configuration to change that number.  You can put this interval out 8 hours but then you only get a snapshot every 8 hours. Trending or history retrieval would require an interval based extraction and storing application that utilizes the UCS XML API.
  This is a link to the UCS XML API information.
