• Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

  Hello

  I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

  I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

  Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

  This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

  My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

• NAT with VMWare Workstation 9-Urgent problems

  
  Hello

  Try to use NAT in VMware Workstation 9 and am lost in my VM connection.

  But when I use the network bridge, it works very well.

  Is someone can you please help me solve?

  I tried reinstalling VMware workstation for all n No.. times and restored the settings of the Virtual Network Editor as well.

  Help, please!

  It seems that the client does not receive a DHCP address? Assuming that the virtual network adapter in the virtual machine settings is 'connected' (which, I guess, because you said Bridged works very well), you can check if there is a problem with the installation. Please run services. MSC (or net start from the command line) to see what VMware services are running on the host computer.

• Problem with VMWare Workstation combo, .vhd virtual drives and physical disks in the sector of size 4K?

  All,

  I suspect something wrong with some of my virtual machines.  I have been using these virtual machines for a while, and I see some weird behaviour recently.

  I see a lot of corruption in the virtual hard disk (.vhd based).  CHKDSK automatically gets performed many large files such as Oracle datafiles get damaged etc...  It all seems quite random and inconsistent, but I am using .vhd virtual machines in VMWare Workstation for years without problem.  This problem is new, and hard drives are basically unstable.

  I * think * (and I'm totally off base) that is perhaps the issue with my new external hard drives.  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.  Thanks to this architecture of hard drive, don't mount not the tools of Microsoft or manupulate .vhd files on these disks.  The questions seem to go away if I switch to vmdk or switch to the physical hard disk size-one-sector 512kb.  Because errors are not compliant, that I don't really have a way to document/prove that is the case, but it seems to be.

  I use version 9.0.0 on Windows 7 Workstation, and the guest is Windows Server 2008R2.

  My question is:

  (1) what meaning?

  (2) how I prove/document, since it is a contradiction?

  (3) is this a known problem?

  (Btw, switching HDD's vmdk is not an option in our case due to an obscure legal agreement with Microsoft.  I have to distribute my VMs in vhd format, even if they are designed to run on VMWare...)

  -> Adam

  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.

  (I've highlighted "without e512" in "BOLD" to key in my answer to the host operating system.)

  -L'OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

  According to the political support for the 4 K sector hard drives in Windows, Windows 7 does not support the native 4 K (logical 4 k sector size) but it does not support Advanced Format or 512th (size of logical sector physical and 512 bytes of 4 K) and that is can be the question.

• 40 users with vmware workstation virtualization

  short version

  1. is there a tiny linux distro or another way to run workstation or player without having to start a host bulky all OS?  I would like to than most of the resources that will be displayed at the operating system PROMPT in my computer or player, but I can give him only what the host operating system is not relaxing, right?

  2 is it possible using startup scripts or similar for the workstation (or reader) run as soon as the host OS, boots and open a certain virtual machine mode full-screen, to make the user experience more like using a non virtualized desktop computer?

  / short version

  long version

  We need to standardize workstations XP users and decided to do it using virtualization.  We're not really big enough (40 users) to benefit from the view, or be able to afford.

  We would like to use VMWare workstation to create a virtual master we could do get out for users instead of having to do a format/reload every time they break a system.

  However, I want the user experience to be as transparent as possible for end users (of which most is not technical at ALL) the idea of "boot from an XP host, open desktop (or reader), then open their 'real' workstation vm is too much for them, really.

  Also, I personall dislikes the idea to run a full blown (XP OS) to host VMWare Player, to host an OTHER OS full blown.  I want to give on the guest virtual computer system resources as well.

  / long version

  1. Yes - it's possible. See it in action http://sanbarrow.com/moa24/videos/kiosk/kiosk.html

  2 Yes - XP for example you can set up the shell. Change explorer.exe to a command that starts with a VM specified in modepleinecran vmplayer

• Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

  Hello

  We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

  I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

  We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

  Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

  In any case, again, the main question is:

  This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

  Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

  Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

  Then such a facility will do what you expect.

  I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience

• Problems with VMware Workstation upgrade version 6.0 and 6.5

  When I update my VMware Workstation 6.0.4 to 6.5.1 in a few days the 6.5.1 version asks me to buy it.

  But that s impossible, because the VMware store doesn´t that only VMware Workstation Version updated 5 to 6.5.

  Could someone help me, please?

  Thank you much in advance.

  Are you sure that you always use the license key that you used with WS 6.0.4?

• Toshiba button Support do not work with VMware Workstation

  Hi all

  for all people having the same problem - * Support Button Toshiba do not work after the installation of VMware Workstation.*

  Short solution:
  After the installation of vmware workstation 6.x or 7 - the default setting is "Disable Autorun on the host". (you can find it in: Edit-> preferences-> devices). Release the hook and restart. After the reboot, the buttons should be working.

  The long version:
  Support Button Toshiba uses the Windows function "MobilePC" - > "Hotstart". HotStart only works when the autostart feature is not disabled (the value of registry key: + HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Po licies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun + has the value 0xFF). VMware is the default to disable Autorun of CD/DVD. Turn on the autorun, restart the Qosmio and Hotstart (and also Toshiba button support) works very well. That's the problem.

  Greeting
  Thomas Wermuth

  Thanks for the solution. :)

• WinRunner license with VMware Workstation

  Evaluate us VMware Workstation 10.0 and we try to install Winrunner on a virtual machine but the Winrunner trying to get out to the network on the virtual machine to find the license competition, every time, we have created (OS Win 7), installation is suspended. The error indicates the installation Winrunner is unable to find the license on the network.

  Verified that the network is in place and works very well. Check that the license exists on the network (installed on another computer to test using a ghost image). Anyone got any ideas on why installing Winrunner can not find the license?

  Concerning

  Your guest VM is configured to use NAT or Bridged network mode?  Not sure if it would be serious, but it is possible - if it's NAT - the license service is unable to return to the virtual machine.

• Student needs help with VMware Workstation

  I downloaded the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Workstation Machine virtual VMWare.  I unzipped the zip for Joan/Document/Monordinateurvirtuel

  I do not see an executable file or whatever it is or under programs open.  Help

  The instruction States:

  After that the file has been decompressed, run VMWare Workstation 5 or VMWare Player, open the Virtual Machine, then turn on.

  It's my first Linux + classes.  I can't understand how to start the VMWare Player or VMWare Workstation 5.   I have Microsoft Windows Vista.  Advice would be appreciated as my next task is to configure SLES work in VMWorkstation.

  The virtual machine that you downloaded is just that, a virtual machine, not an executable. You need to install/run VMware Player or Workstation and run, and then open the virtual machine.

• Help with VMware Workstation! Missing hard files

  Hi all

  As I tried to move a virtual machine from one laptop to another (without it being fully saved, big mistake, I know now what very well), I moved the files by mistake and did not copy the files. The files that I moved, I deleted, thinking they were just copies that I went from using a USB key using google drive.  Oh I don't have the files on the USB key.  And that's where I was wrong.  In turn, I deleted 3 - files s00X.vmdk and virtual machine does not open on 10 VMworkstation. The error I get when I try to take back the machine is this:

  Cannot open the file 'C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\ISO\OSCP\pwk_vm-cl1-000001.vmdk ':

  I can't go back to the previous snapshots in the snapshot either Manager.

  If I open pwk_vm-cl1 - 000001.vmdk with Notepad, I get the following information:

  So I check my file to make sure that I have all the files. The 3 I have removed were the following:

  • pwk_vm-cl1-000001 - s003.vmdk

  My questions:

  Is there anyway that I can restart the machine with these deleted for good void vmdk files? Even if it's to a State previous/snapshot?  I have pwk_vm-cl1 - 000002.vmdk in pwk_vm-cl1 - 000011.vmdk files and all the appropriate sub files. I still have all the snapshots and vmsn, vmx, .vmem and vmsd for the vm files.

  
  

  I know it's totally my fault and my own fault. This virtual machine has been used for a course I took and have spent hours 150 + on, just to start the machine and retrieve my file of massive if possible note. You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.  All of my current files are backed up, so I'm free to try various corrections, as appropriate. If you need additional file information, I can provide probably not.

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  Hello
  3 of these missing parts may contain a few Mbs 6Gbs or up to.
  If durinmg time you have written actively in these 3 files your Debian update grub and installed a new initrd, you will have a serious problem.
  But you used the autodestructible function I guess rather than these VMDK was rather smaller than completely filled.

  Get the virtual machine to start again is actually quite easy - write instructions to security however means more work.

  So, I think that setting remotely should not take much longer than 15 minutes. If you want to call me by Skype, so that we can arrange something.

  At the moment I don't have time to write a good howto...
