How to disable snapshots for domain controllers in ESXi 5? Or other best practices?

Dear all,

I need some aspects of assistance to the deactivation of snapshots for 2 VMS in my HA cluster running Active Directory to Windows 2008 R2.

I read that best practices for virtual machines running that active Directory is never for them to snapshot.

I'm worried about auto created by the systems periodically snapshots and the problem arises if a snapshot is to be reinstated by mistake.

So, what are the best practices for virtual machines running as domain controllers? To deactivate the snapshot function or other recommended methods?

Please kindly share. Thank you.

VMware has no system automatically taking portraits.

Snapshots exist either because you made them manually, an application backup created. In this case, talk with your backup vendor.

  • How to disable snapshots for a vmdk?

    I thought that I had asked this before and have the feeling that it is possible, but do not find the information now.

    I want to share a vmdk that I use for DATA of the virtual machines. The virtual machine that contains the vmdk DATA does not use / have snapshots, but I want to use snapshots in other virtual machines. I have create a new hard drive in each virtual machine, choose the vmdk existing DATA and select "share this virtual disk with the virtual machine that created it." However, when a snapshot is created in the other VM, it also creates a snapshot of the DATA vmdk. The problem is that if something is written on the vmdk DATABASE, then all the VM who have snapshots will report the DATA as being damaged vmdk.

    To work around this problem, I want to disable snapshots for the vmdk from DATA, but leave it turned on for all the other vmdk. Is there a setting to do this?

    How to disable the network adapters in Windows XP?

    It's a very good idea to stop Windows XP to connect to Internet automatically due to the end of support for Windows XP?

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    First of all you could just pull the Ethernet cable if this is a wired adapter. Or remove details of the wireless network, if this is a wireless adapter.

    Some adapters may be disabled via the BIOS setup, in which case they won't be even visible by Windows as the available material. These adapters adapters "embarked", i.e. the Ethernet cable plugs into a socket on the motherboard I/o Panel not the socket on a separate component card snap.

    Expansion card can be deleted without problem after power off, unplug the power cord and anti-static precautions.

    Alternatively, you can...

    • Click Start
    • Click on run
    • Type ncpa.cpl, and then press ENTER.

    In the window that results, you can click with the right button on Ethernet adapters (wired or wireless) and then click on disable.

  • Computer configuration virtual for SRM - files from memory Swap file/Virtual - best practice replication?

    Hello, I am very new to the model DR VMWare and have a few persistent questinos.

    What is the recommended best practice re: virtual computers invited windows and virtual memory files.  I think it would be unnecessary to replicate these changing data on the DR site.  I have several virtual machines with 6-8gig memory and I'm just wondering how can I isolate the ESX memory swap files and virtual memory in Windows feedback, so they get not replicated on the Dr site as often as changing os/data.  If it's even necessary to replicate.

    We use vspere vcenter 4.1 related modes, RS 4.1 the two on-site Cellera NX4 ReplicatorV2.

    I wonder if I can install the files of pages to be in a condition NOT replicated file system or a file system which is the only value replicates every 24 hours, or once a week.

    My reasoning here is.  Once the file is there, the operating system really cares about the changes in this file and dumps windows virtual memory on a restart, as well as the .vswp file.

    what I mean is built on a virtual disk full and placing the windows file on this virtual disk to Exchange.  This virtual disk could exist in a data store hosted on a celerra file system that does not get repeated as frequently as data/OS file systems.

    or am I completely off base here.

    I think that if you tried to reproduce these files and maintain a sync time minute 10, you would need a ton of bandwidth.

    any suggestions or recommendations or even pointers to Articles/items worth points = D.

    Thanks for your time.

    Given that the configuration is made at the level of the cluster and has no impact on the SRM, replication is not a factor.  Don't forget, not to replicate the LUNS with the swap, just files have a LUN configuration on the side of recovery as well and have this defined cluster Exchange files.  Also, on the virtual machine critical we define reservations memory so the pagefile is not a factor at all.

  • How to disable mirroring for airplay in IOS 10?

    I would use Airplay the old-fashioned way, where I can use it without mirroring (audio and video playback) - anyone have any ideas?  For example, mirroring works well in all applications (i.e. NFL app).  I can't get the audio to work and not the video.

    Hello chimidon,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.

    I see that you want to use Airplay the old way of streaming audio and video, where you can use it without mirroring. I use a lot of Airplay on my iPhone. So I know how it is important to ensure that you are able to use it without any problem.

    iOS 10 includes only the mirroring option in the control center. So, sliding up to open the Control Center allows you to mirror of your iPhone at a connected device Airplay. If you want Airplay from a specific application, the app must have the Airplay feature, and you need to activate Airplay from within the application itself. When you open an application, look for it icon to launch the Airplay and then select your Airplay device.

    All the best.

  • How to disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator & external keyboard

    Stupid question I know, but it's driving me crazy.

    I have an external keyboard Port duplicator and the attached monitor. The Port Replicator has a wired Ethernet connection to my local network. When I anchor my R830 in Port Replicator, ideally I would like to turn off the wireless adapter, but at least I certainly want the default use of the wired LAN connection not WiFi.

    Currently, it seems just randomly decide to use wired or wireless connection when I anchor.

    So, two part question:

    1. How can I pay the R830 automatically default to an Ethernet cable when I anchor?
    2. How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)

    Thank you very much in advance for your advice.

    > How can I set the R830 automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I anchor?
    If the port replicator is connected to the local network and then the laptop would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.

    > How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)
    Well, in this case, you can use the internal keyboard to turn off the WiFi using Fn + F8

    I n t need because it will be used as a personal computer and non-commercial. If anyone has any idea to solve this, I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you

    AFAIK fingerprints fingerprints will be required when you want to log in the preinstalled operating system and it is unclear to me that you will be asked to fingerprinting at the BIOS level.

    You can enter the BIOS settings?
    Get the HARD drive and try to install the operating system.
