Impossible to disable the time synchronization in VMWare Workstation 8.0.1

I read 1189 KB # as well as various articles on disabling time synchronization between host and guest, but I can't seem to stop synchronization.

I closed the comments and edited the VMX file as follows:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.continue = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Restore = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Resume.Disk = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Shrink = "FALSE".
Tools.Synchronize.Tools.Startup = "FALSE".

But no matter what, the time of comments still synchronizes to the host after turning the power on or return to.

I tried on the hosts Windows 2008 x 86 and Windows 2008 R2 with the same results.  I also disabled the functionality of Windows to "synchronize with a time server Internet.

I'm using VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 on Windows 7 Pro x 64.

Clues as to what I'm missing?

Thank you.

Your initial message, I found that something is different with the content of KB.

Will keep you ' tools.synchronize.tools.startup = 'FALSE' but the KB said there should be time.synchronize.tools.startup = 'FALSE'.»

Please copy and paste below your *.vmx file model.

tools.syncTime = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.continue = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Restore = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Resume.Disk = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Shrink = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Tools.Startup = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Tools.Enable = "FALSE".
Time.Synchronize.Resume.Host = "FALSE".

  • How to disable the time synchronization in a VMware customer?

    Hello!

    Could someone please tell me how could stop a VMware customer of time synchronization? I'm using VMware Workstation 9.

    I added these settings to the .vmx file:

    tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.tools.enable = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.resume.host = "FALSE"

    Unfortunately, when I start the PC it will synchronize time. If the PC is running, and I got a break, after that it will not synchronize the time, until I restart it. My hypothesis is, that in the BIOS of the client synchronizes time somehow.

    Could someone tell me how can I disable it and completely disable the time synchronization?

    Thank you!

    To start a virtual machine, it chooses the moment the host using unless you specify something with this option:

    rtc.startTime = "1089395200".

    See my notes at sanbarrow.com

    in WS 10, we have a little more settings that you may need to define - haven't tested them yet:

    Time.Synchronize

  • Disable the time-out SSH ESXi 4.1?

    Hi all

    I use a scheduled task and ghettoVCB to back up ESXi system, but the SSH timeout keeps giving me grief, is it possible to disable the time-out and have the demon of support tech SSH running all the time?

    See you soon,.

    Joe

    You can disable SSH timeout by setting the value 0, which disables the time-out all together. To do this, you will use the DCUI. Take a look at this VMware KB which guides you through the activation process of TSM - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1017910 and you are going to disable the timeout TSM

  • How to locate the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

    Re: How to find the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

    Hello

    Since nearly five months, I have worked on a particular project and am reviewing me with the details of the project. The virtual machine has three virtual disks. I remember the BONES of the virtual machine as well as the first disc of the vmdk virtual machine data files are in the Windows host file containing the virtual machine. Nothing unusual so far. I remember that I put the third disk of the virtual machine on my axis f: physical, but I want to make sure that before you start again work on the project.

    I see of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003880 we should be able to examine the vmx file and see the locations of virtual disk. What I've noticed, is that since I was a snapshot, I see this:

    scsi0:2.present = 'TRUE '.

    scsi0:2.filename = "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk".

    So what I see in the vmx is the physical location of the disk snapshot delta and not the physical location of the vmdk.

    I also did a search for vmware vmdk files - x.log and I find:

    2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-DSCPTR: open [0]: "sample - Disk3.vmdk" (0xe)

    2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LINK: opened 'F:\MyProject-Disk3\MyProject-Disk3.vmdk' (0xe): monolithicSparse, 83886080 sectors / 40 GB.

    2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LIB: open 'G:\VMware VMs\MyProject\MyProject-Disk3-000001.vmdk' (0xa, type monolithicSparse flags).

    So by brute force, I discovered that the parent for the VM Disk3 vmdk is the physical disk F. And even here, the only reason why I know that I have the right VM disk, because I included "Disk3" in the VM disk naming convention that I used.

    But what happens if I hadn't used a physical VM disk naming convention which did not include the name of the virtual disk of the virtual machine? How could 100% sure that the third disk of my VM was the vmdk parent that I had located on the physical disk F?

    There must be an easier way to do this for days just like that.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Kind regards...

    P.S. I noticed that if I close this virtual machine and click on the 3 hard drive (SCSI), it only shows the name of the file of the virtual delta "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk" machine and not the parent vmdk.

    P.S. I noticed that if I close this VM and try using the disk utilities, the map shows that the path to the file delta 'MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk' and the parent vmdk.

    Virtual disk snapshot files have the file name of the virtual disk parent included in the file descriptor hard (text file), or in the hard data file according to the format of the virtual disk. In the case of a monolithic virtual disk format (i.e. a hard single file), you may need to use a hex editor to find the 'parentFileNameHint' somewhere between 0x200 and 0x400.

  • How to work the Optimus compared to VMware Workstation 8 with enable 3D

    Hi, I am doing some performance tests in VMware Workstation

    There are some improvements to run VMware using the Nvidia card or there is no improvement at all, and it's better to use default Intel card?

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate host and as a guest Windows 7 Ultimate so I can compare with the windows experience.

    Host:

    screenshot.1.jpg

    Comments:

    screenshot.2.jpg

    Another thing I found interesting is why the performance of the hard disk are the same, but the memory is quite low in comparation with the speed of the host

    Is it normal? Can I improve the performance of the memory procesor or 3D in some way?

    As the comparation that I am very interested in the functioning of memory per second.

    There is always some trouble when virtual hardware running and it is not that you can do to improve except to avoid paging, the latest version of VMware Workstation and have the updated drivers.

    The Windows experience index is also a pretty poor excuse for reference so according to what are your objectives is better there tools like pass etc.

    What type of workload are underway in the virtual machine?

  • Impossible to disable the column "Preview" in the Finder Windows

    Before that I describe this problem, I just want to clarify that I have configured Finder to always open folders in a new window, and while some of my files are put into mode icon that the majority is set to display in the list.

    Following an upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, some of my Finder list view windows began to show the column "Preview" on the side of the far right, after the date modified column. I don't like this feature because when none of the folders or items are selected it shows just a ugly "blank" space in the window. So, I quickly discovered that I can disable this "Preview" column by selecting "hide the Preview" in the view menu.

    The problem is that once I chose this, in many of my files change does not stick. After a reboot or a restart, I'll go back to the window and the preview column is again. Sometimes it happens immediately after closing the window and opening it again. The worst culprit is my user folder.

    I tried selecting "Hide Preview" and then enter the display options and set as the default view for all Finder Windows, but this makes no difference.

    Anyone know how to disable the overview at all times column in all the windows in the Finder?

    This is what it looks like in my folders set to display from the list:

  • Impossible to disable the notification app on Apple Watch 2

    Hello

    I recently bought a new series of Apple Watch 2, which comes with the watch as 3 preinstalled OS. I know that all my notifications in instant messaging (whatsapp, wechat) have been reflected on my Apple Watch. I find too boring and I want to turn it off. I followed the instructions (go Apple Watch app on the iphone paired, then notifications, search for the application and then turn off 'iphone mirror'), but it did not work. Notifications will always appear on my watch for these two applications. The only way I can get rid of the notification is to change the style of alert iphone to "none" for both applications. But this way I get the banner on iphone or which is not acceptable.

    So my question is:

    1. What is the settings "mirror iphone alerts" in the menu of notification of Apple Watch app supposed to do? He seems to have no effect at all?
    2. This notification of iphone mirror setting OS level control or that something must be supported by the application in order to have the effect? In other words, if it's a bug, is a watch OS bug or a bug in the application?

    Hello Sexystephm,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to disable the touchpad (FN + F9). Also check in Control Panel, you should have an option to disable the touchpad of your laptop.

    However, if this has happened after I installed updates on your computer, you can try to restore the computer to an earlier date when you have been disable the touchpad.

    To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.
     
    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Also, you can check with the computer manufacturer if they have additional settings to change or updated drivers to install.

  • Impossible to select the time range in dropdown menu-foglight PASS UI.

    Hello

    I'm new to foglight and is having a little problem with the user interface. I doubt if I'm in the right place to ask this question.

    I use Foglight for SQL Server 7.0 v. Under UI, there is a drop down for the time interval, which, in my view, does not work as expected.

    Please see the snapshot. Here, when I click on "last hour", next to the slot, a drop down menu arrow rises but it disappears very quickly and I can't change. I think that this menu has options like "last 15 minutes, last 6 h etc.

    Please notify.

    I found the solution. It was because of two monitors.   Once I went to the main screen, I could see menu items drop down.

  • RV042 impossible to disable the DMZ Host

    All trying to configure my RV042, I "turned on" the DMZ host feature (under Configuration > DMZ Host) by entering the address LAN IP of one of our machines. I think now that I don't want to actually on. According to the help page (and also the manual), he says:

    "Enter the IP address of the network device you want to use as a host DMZ." Otherwise, enter a zero (0.0.0.0) to disable the DMZ host.

    So I try to enter the address 0.0.0.0, and it gives me an error:

    What I am doing wrong? The instructions are just incorrect? Is there a way to disable this option?

    If the LAN subnet is 192.168.1.x/24, you might want to try instead of 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.0 to disable DMZ Host.
