Is it possible to save the xp mode virtual machine?

I was wondering if there is an image that I can back up so I did not reinstall every time I reformat

Hello
 
 
Yes you can do it manually.
Here's how:
1. open Windows Explorer and navigate to %USERPROFILE%/Virtual Machines. It is the default location of the files vmcx. You will see a Windows XP Mode.vmcx file. This XML file contains the full path to the files that make up your virtual machine. The default full paths are:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vmc

2. When you browse to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines, you can see additional files depending on the State of the virtual machine (that is, is this hiberated or not). If the virtual machine XP Mode is put in hibernation, if these additional files will appear:

Windows XP Mode.vmc.vpcbackup
Windows XP Mode.vsv

3. the vmc and vmc.backup files are XML files that contain full paths to vhd files. If you restore on a different path, you will need to modify the XML files so that all file references are accurate and consistent. Windows 7 does not a VMS-specific automated backup.

 
I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Is it possible to save the adjusted image virtual copy and throw away the original?

    I made a virtual copy of an image which I then adjusted in LR to the way I want to keep it. Now, I wonder if there is a way to easily apply these adjustments to the original, so I can then throw the virtual copy, or do I save the virtual copy and delete the original? I have just need two images, one that is not a custodian. I don't want to delete the original if the virtual copy depends on its existence.

    I want to keep the images up to that I want and I'm working to erase those images that I never use. According to what is the best way to handle the above situation will allow me to make a few essential to my catalog household.

    TIA,

    You must copy the changes to the original, and then destroy the virtual copy. The other way ' round will not work.

    In the grid, do a right click on the virtual tour you are interested in. In submenus 'Develop settings' and "Metadata Presets", you can choose "copy...". ». What to do in each of them, right click on the original and make the two corresponding blocks.

    Hi @EslamHassan ,

    I see you want to copy to the light settings by default. I would like to help you today.

    In the menu copy, select the setting you want, and then select in the menu copy, set as default values.

    It records the changes to this menu such as the new default values.

  • is it possible to hide the movieClip mode webgl?

    Hello

    Is it possible to hide the movieClip mode webgl? Other libraries webgl as pixijs have this possibility.

    I also watch the video of the introduction of lively cc (the future of WebGL with Adobe animate & AwayJS |) SkillsCast | February 9, 2016) where the presenter talks about it.

    I looked at the part where the masking has failed. He had the AwayJS FLA when converting to another file format. Or he had a bug in their custom in time file format.

    The SADF 2D masks WebGL always seems to be disabled. But I just bought the AwayJS add-on, and whatever the problem was in his demonstration, he seems to be fixed, masking works.

  • Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

    Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

    # #SCRIPT_START

    $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

    $Import = import-csv $file

    $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

    $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

    $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

    $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

    Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

    Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

    # #SCRIPT_END

    You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

    An example of this cmdley

    New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

    In your case, you could do

    Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

    But beware of negative numbers.

  • Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

    We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

    1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
    2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

    We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

    It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

    This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

  • How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

    When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

    How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

    At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

    There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

  • The substitution of parameters of the device when the cloning of virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance.
