How to connect the physical monitor in a virtual machine?

I connected a monitor of my laptop, I want to use this screen for my virtual machine running Windows 7, so the virtual machine runs in fullscreen display them on the monitor and not on my laptop. Is this possible? I'm using Vmware workstation.

WS = Vmware Workstation

Your laptop must be supported using the second monitor as an extension on the desktop, only not in mirror as it does now. This is done from your video settings, has nothing to do with VMWare.

Go into your video settings and see if the monitor shows up as Monitor #2, then look for a setting to put it right (or left) of your laptop monitor. My Thinkpad supports this mode.

Check with the manufacturer of your laptop if necessary. Lou

  • How to connect 2 physical computers and 2 virtual machines?

    Hello!

    This is my first time in the forum and I would like to ask about the network configuration for an installation of 2 physical machines and 2 virtual machines. Each physical computer has a virtual machine (all operating systems is Windows 7 or 8). I don't have a level of advanced network management, but I would like to ask how to resolve a case of example of this configuration? I was wondering for communication between machines and communication examining between 1 machine with the other 3.

    Thanks in advance! If someone has already asked this, please tell me the reference.

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Player offers 3 configuration settings, bridged, NAT as well under the name Host-Only network. Host-Only can be used if the virtual machine does not require a connection with the exception of the other virtual machines and the host network. NAT is typically used if the virtual machine requires network access, but didn't need to be accessible to the outside. In your case, the possibility of using is connected by a bridge, which will connect seamlessly the virtual machine to the physical network.

  • How to set the vlan native on a virtual machine in vSphere when you use the 1000V?

    Using the General switch original vSphere, we put VLAN native by VM by setting the VLAN 0 d.

    How do we set VLAN native for a virtual machine, if the virtual computer is connected to a 1000V? I heard that is over, we can use VLAN ID 0?

    Same way as you would on any Cisco switch.

    Add this command to your profile of uplink port:

    switchport trunk vlan native X

    Keep in mind there is no VLAN 0.  VLAN '0' is just how vmware means the VLAN untagged.  There are valid in accordance with the standard 1-4095.

    Kind regards

  • How to connect the external monitor to Satellite T130-C17?

    It has a HDMI port on my laptop and I would use it to connect to a monitor...
    The monitor supports DVI and VGA...
    So I thought that buying a VGA-HDMI would do the trick...

    Unfortunately, when I plug it almost doesn t do something...
    I want to use the monitor as my monitor 3rd btw. That's why I want it on the HDMI port.
    The resolution isn't really a problem for me because I put t want to do something great graphics on it anyway.

    For me, it makes sense to use the HDMI Cable DVI and not to use the VGA port.

    This third monitor is a little strange to me.

  • WT8-B-102 - how to connect the external monitor

    Hello

    I have a toshiba WT8-B-102 Tablet and I need to connect an external monitor (vga or hdmi).
    My tablet doesn't have an hdmi port.

    Any solution?

    Best regards
    Francisco

    Hello

    WT8-B-102 does not therefore support other output micro HDMI port the connection to an external monitor or TV isn t possible.

    But as far as I know the Tablet supports the wireless display technology (Miracast / Intel WiDi) and if the TV supports the same technology, you should be able to output the internal display on TV s screen too.

  • How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

    I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

    Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

    Thank you.

    Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

    Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

  • How to get the moref vCenter for a virtual machine

    I use with the vCloud orchestrator plugin.  I would like to understand how I can access the moref for a virtual machine identifier (as see vcenter) that is contained in a vCloud VAPP.

    Thank you

    Here is something I wrote to do. It uses the query service.

    Note that to be able to do, you need your plugin vCD to be connected to the org of system and use the administrator credentials.

    var vcdHost = vm.getHost();
    var vApp = vm.parent;
    
    var vms = new Array();
    var queryService = vcdHost.getQueryService();
    
    expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryAdminVMField.CONTAINER, vApp.getReference().href, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
    filter = new VclFilter(expression);
    params = new VclQueryParams();
    params.setFilter(filter);
    
    var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.ADMINVM, params);
    while (resultSet != null) {
        var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultAdminVMRecord());
        System.log(records.length + " VM records found");
        for each (var record in records) {
            if (record.name == vm.name) {
                return record.moref;
                }
    
        }
        resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();
    }
    return null;

    Suppose we have several operations on multiple virtual machines (for example as updated virtual hardware, install vmtools - but it could be something else of course...).

  • How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?

    Hello world...

    I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.

    Please reply if anyone know solutions.

    Thank you

    Mahesh Thawari

    Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490

    You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

  • How to connect an additional monitor for the gateway all-in-one?

    Hello you all, I have a question I hope you a lot more smarter computer people can help me with. I have a friend who has a gateway all in one model #-ZX4931. It has a VGA port on the back. It has been also updated for Windows 10. I'm house sitting and dog looking for her in a few weeks

    I want to plug the additional monitor which by the way, it's a Dell (sorry) to work on a project I'am doing right now. I try to use the screen that she has on the All In One and I didn't like how my project came out looking

    I see on the back of its All In One, it has a VGA port. I Google several times and different words from Google, which told me that you cannot plug an additional external monitor for all in one PC, so I'm confused as to why there is a VGA port, if you couldn't plug the external monitor

    in any case, can someone please help me and give me details on how to connect an external monitor, in addition to its gateway all in one model #-ZX4931

    Looking at your specific model, I think you can try to connect an external monitor via the VGA port.

    Once you have connected the secondary monitor using the VGA port, press control + p and main Windows logo if you are able to extend or clone your desktop.
