How to remove orphaned lots VMs

I had a lot of virtual machines created by some automatation tools - about 60 of them. And this is atrocious to manually remove all one by one from the vcenter inventory. Is there an elegant way to do this?

Thank you

Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl that is just that - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10190

The script basically goes through your inventory VM together looking for virtual machines with a State labeled "Orphan" and remove

  • Does anyone know how to remove orphaned thumbnails of 13 elements?

    I managed to accumulate a very large number of files image duplicated in my db 13 items. It was not practical to remove in E13, so I removed the externally. This left me with a disconnected for each deleted image file thumbnail. If I understand the program, all the tags and other metadata associated with the image file - not the thumbnail. So, I'm looking for a way to either delete orphaned thumbnails sort of batch processing... or maybe rebuild the catalog and generate all new stamps? (if possible)

    Advice or tips would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    David

    The catalogue includes the thumbnail cache, which is associated with each element multimedia as well as other metadata.

    Run the command "reconnect missing files" in the file menu of the Organizer. After the search, you will see a list of missing files. There is a small icon on the top of the dialog box to open a dropdown menu with the options:

    -to select all the missing files

    -to remove all the missing files from the catalog.

    Do both, that will remove these entries from the catalog and thumbnail cache.

    ... or perhaps to rebuild the catalog and generate all new stamps? (if possible)

    Yes, it's another solution:

  • How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?

    How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?
    If I wanted to remove the word 'dog' or 'and' for example

    There may be a range of reasons for wanting to do this, including the deletion of the words you use rarely as similar to other common spellings used words for example. "minute" and "Minuet", delete the words that you find personally offensive, or removing words that, because of linguistic or cultural background, you would not consider words at all.

    Note that I'm not asking how to remove my 'dictionary' words, words that I added myself.

    Hello

    I talked to a few people and I think I'm able to help you with this.

    There are two dictionary files, the default that comes with your version of Firefox and personal 'custom' that you create yourself with phrases and words.

    If you want to change the personal;

    1. Copy Subject: support and paste into the address bar.
    2. Next to the profile folder, click the marked File Show
    3. Find the file persdict.dat. Rename a text file, open, modify, re save it as persdict.dat and replace.

    If you want to change the default dictionary, it could be more of a problem and a lot more technique to do. I would recommend that you look at the problem differently and consider filtering of pages based on inappropriate content using Add-ons such as ProCon Latte Content Filter.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

  • Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

    I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

    so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

    the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

    but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

    hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

    * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

    * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

    Hello olekike

    Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
    View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  • 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.
