How to remove a virtual computer in WS 8 draws it from 'my computer '.

Salvation;

I recently did some "house keeping" system by removing some old VMS (Windows 7 64-bit). I finished remove disk outside the workstation 8 thinking that I could just delete the list of workstation.

I opened the 8.0.6, workstation and I went to the tab 'my computer '. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I expect to be able to right click on the entry for the virtual machine and 'remove' from the list.

Instead, right click only gives me the choice of 'open '. Open does not work of course because the virtual machine isn't there anymore.

Am I missing something? What is the way to remove a deleted virtual machine? (Or even if not deleted one by the way).

Even for machines that I still, I can't find an option 'remove '. (I see the closest thing is to Manage / "remove disc", which is more drastic than just detached from the list).

Thank you;

OK, I forgot that there is a separate pane 'library' (I normally hidden). I thought that the 'My computer' tab has been where I removed the VMs when it was really the library list, with that I needed to work.

  • How to remove the virtual computer on a data store

    I'm moving VM (by the data store) to my new cluster data store and as I release a DS I have delete and create new with VMFS5.  I just emptied a data store but when I run the following command it shows again two VM on the same DS so when I navigate on the DS it is empty.

    Get-datastore-name "DS_NAME | Get - vm | FT name

    How to see where/how/why these two VMs are on the DS when it seems to be empty, and I'm assuming that PowerCLI is my best result. Of course, I don't want to just delete the DS as possible casue a problem with these virtual machines.  When I look at the settings them of each virtual machine they show that they are on a store of separate data and not that I'm trying to delete.

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    You can do:

    Notice-EEG-Id | Get-VIObjectByVIView

    or:

  • I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry.

    Original title: cleaning your pc

    I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry. There is a financial has now attached ittibu or something. and how to remove the event source errors and all that is connected to this.

    If you make financial transactions online and feel your system has been compromised, the more experienced people will recommend wipe you your HARD drive and reinstall your XP from scratch, but that is not always possible and of course is up to you depending on how you feel about this (you need to feel good about it).

    If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

    http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

    Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

    If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    If you need help interpreting your logs in Event Viewer, follow these steps:

    Here is a method to display specific information about individual events.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    The most interesting newspapers are usually the system and Application logs.

    Some newspapers such as security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have just a few items.  The default settings for XP wants do not connect all this activity, unless you need to solve a problem in these areas.  If you enable logging for them the papers fill up quickly and could adversely affect the performance of your system with all the extras (often unnecessary) activity.

    If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own newspapers, and they can be empty or occasional boring activity very little or, if there is no problem with your desktop applications.  It's normal.

    Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things work very well, and some are warnings.

    However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.

    Each event is sorted by Date and time.  Errors will be red Xs, warnings will have yellow! s.
    Informational messages have white is.  Not every error or warning event means that there is a serious question.

    Some are excusable at boot time when Windows starts.  Try to find only the events to the date and time around your problem.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    If you paste an event, it will look something like this annoying system startup event:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7035
    Date: 14/07/2010
    Time: 17:54:18
    User: Jose
    Computer: computer

    Description:
    The Remote Access Connection Manager service was sent successfully a starting control.

    To get a fresh start on any log of the event viewer, you can choose to clear the log (the log backup is available), and then reproduce your problem, then just look at the events around your show and troubleshoot events that are happening when you have your question.

  • How to make a virtual computer to connect to a CD player with an ISO mounted when you start the virtual machine?

    I am the creation of virtual machines using PowerCLI 5.5 on vSphere 5.0; and while the virtual machine is turned off, I am able to mount an ISO on a CD player and change the boot order to boot from the CD-ROM (for another post).  I have the flag startConnected set to true, but am not having much luck getting the virtual machine to connect to the CDDrive

    $cdObj = $Vm | New-CDDrive - IsoPath $isoPathName - StartConnected: $true

    If ($cdObj - no $null)
    {
    #Power off VM if it is on
    $VmState = $Vm.PowerState

    If ($VmState - eq "Receptor")
    {
    $Vm | Stop-Vm-confirm: $false - ea 0
    }

    $BootHardDiskName = 'disk 1 '.
    $VmView = get - VM $VmName - Server $serverObj.Name | Get-View
    $HardDiskDeviceKey = ($VmView.Config.Hardware.Device |) Where-Object {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - eq $BootHardDiskName}). Key

    $BootableHardDisk = new-Object - TypeName VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableDiskDevice - property @{'DeviceKey' = $HardDiskDeviceKey}
    $BootableCDRom = new-Object-Type VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableCdromDevice

    #Set for CDRom boot order
    $BootIso = new-Object VMware.Vim .VirtualMachineConfigSpec - property @ {}
    "BootOptions' = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptions - property @ {}
    BootOrder = $BootableCDRom
    }
    }

    #Set VM from the start settings at the start of the first CD and forces the display to update (sometimes delayed)
    $VmView.ReconfigVM_Task ($BootIso) | out-null
    $VmView.UpdateViewData ("Config.BootOptions.BootOrder")

    #Power on VM
    $Vm | Start-VM-confirm: $false - ea - global 0EV: vmOpsError | out-null

    When I start the VM, it does start the ISO.

    If I go to vCenter, the CD is pointing to the ISO file, but the 'Connected' to change settings option is not checked;  I can restart the VM of vCenter and then the VM restarts the ISO, but not in the script.

    I even put code to add a lead time of 5 to 10 seconds; I restart the virtual machine twice in the script and I can't CD to connect to start the virtual computer.

    Appreciate any suggestions.

    Have you tried to do a

    Game-CDDrive - CD $cdObj - connected - confirm: $false

    immediately after the start-VM?

  • How to restore a virtual computer to another computer using Backup Exec virtual

    Hi all

    I tested VMware 3.5.  We have little budget, so we intend to convert 5-10 dev servers into virtual machine running on an existing ML570 HP.  I created a test VM; I could back up and restore the entire virtual machine using Backup Exec to a physical server without problem.  However I can not restore a virtual machine to a different VM.  Let's say I dv01; I backed up using Backup Exec dv01 on the physical server.  Pretending the host has no I have rebuilt a new host, created a new virtual machine with the same name dv01 and same features.  I restored dv01 from the backup.  The restoration is properly; However, he got a blue screen when I rebooted the virtual computer.  The blue screen went so big that I don't remember what it was, but it's the kind of a dll error.

    We want to keep the budget as small as possible using our existing Backup Exec agents, but it doesn't seem to work here.  Is Backup Exec for VMware agent a MUST?  Catering to the same VM is good, but restore to a different VM is not so simple.

    THX.

    As you can see in http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/buy.html, VCB is included in all editions of VI 3.5.

  • How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

    Hello

    I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

    Thanks adavance

    It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

  • How to pass the virtual computer for the upgrade of the hard drive?

    I installed ESXi on a server with only 80 GB installed hard drive (RAID-1). Now, I'll upgrade the two 1 TB drives (RAID-1). What is the best possible method to back up my VM?

    I have a standby server. Installed ESXi on it and transferred a VM using VMware Converter for this spare server. After upgrading the hard disk and reinstall ESXi I want to transfer my VM to the server of origin.

    Is this the right way or is there an easier way?

    Thank you

    Chantal

    Hello

    I don't see a problem in you turn the VM on the server as well spare, you can very well do it and use it until your main server is up and Runnin'. Once the primary server running stops the virtual machine on the spare part and then copy.

    Thank you
