• License with Windows Server 2008 Guest OS.

  Hello

  I installed on a host (System Dell R810) vSphere with 24 physical cores with hyper-threading. If I install a Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition/64-bit, on the physical hardware, I see 48 processors.

  I would like to convert this system into a system in a virtualized with vSphere environment. Assuming that I buy enough licenses VMWare, which is the maximum number of VMWare virtual cores I can refer to various OS comments? Also, if I have the Windows Standard edition, which is the maximum. number of virtualized hearts would be the guest operating system, see?

  Also, is there a document describing how licensing works and how things refers to a VMWare deployment.

  Thank you.

  http://www.VMware.com/download/EULA/multicore.html

  VMware licenses is based on the number of Sockets in the box... carrots.

  Here is a short breakdown in licensing requirements.

  ESXi free-4 core support only.

  Software licenses with hearts of six (6) by restriction of processor: vSphere Essentials, vSphere Essentials Plus, vSphere Standard and vSphere Enterprise

  Twelve software licenses (12) cores per CPU restriction: vSphere Advanced and vSphere Enterprise Plus

  Microsoft licenses - depends on the day: o)

  It's your best reference. - http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/C/EECF5D44-9A88-43D8-AFDB-D2AB82BE035C/Win%20Server%20Lic%20Book%20customer%20hi-res.pdf

  Windows Standard - for each license, you get a single virtual machine.

  Windows Enterprise - for each license, you can run 4xVM

  Windows Datacenter - you register each Jack in the box (like VMware) - run as VM of this family of products that you can (IE, Windows 2008, Datacenter Edition allows all x Windows 2008 flavours).  I'm not positive is a Windows 2008 R2 allows to downgrade to Windows 2008 flavors as well.  So I guess.

  My recommendation - pony up the money and get data center and then laugh if Microsoft comes audit because you don't care.

  SQL 2008 licensing - read carefully - it changes and is confusing.  Best to call the Microsoft license program to be positive.

  Hardware capabilities

  http://www.directionsonmicrosoft.com/sample/domis/update/2008/02feb/0208ws2plp_ch.htm

  Limitations of VMware – you can create within a VM CPU 8. However if you need that many cores... rethink its acceptability of virtualization.  See #5, and then read it again.

  Now, just throw in the standard practices and answering the questions I know you will come back and ask.

  #1-non, it has no USB support in a virtual machine.  You can't attach an external drive to your VM.  Look at the IP/USB devices for the solutions for this.

  #2-Si you create a larger hardware RAID array then 2 TB it won't work.  Each virtual disk/LUN/table/Container (to use the terminology whaever) needs to be more boy then 2 TB-512bytes (use 1.99 TB to be sure). RDM, also, cannot be greater then 2 TB.  In addition, I recommend to use initiator ISCI inside the virtual machine.

  #3-la recommendation is to try to stay in the range of 10-20 VMS per VMFS volume (much busy VM can cause scsi reservation issues).  He got much better then you can push the limits (wait for RParkers response when he sees it: o))

  #4-you can create multiple VMFS volumes and join them together to make a larger VMFS volume.  Strongly discouraged

  practical #5-bonnes of virtualization - forget what you know about the allocation of resources.  Start a Windows 2008 VM with 1 GB/Max 2 GB of RAM and a single processor.  ONLY increase CPU/RAM after you have determined you must.  Least CPU multiple VM's best for planning

  average #6-sursouscription is usually 4-5 WHAT VM by heart, but of course it depends on the load and SMP VM

  #7-do not ask solution best backup (of the beginning of war) - your typical responses are going to be Veeam, Vizioncore, esXpress as 3 all with scripts and a few others mentioned (like VDR).  Try them all (this way you can get backups and not pay for at least 90 days: o))

  #8-don't freak out cause of your VM Windows 2008 allows you to use all of the memory of your host immediately.  Until you use all of the memory, the virtual machine will be uuse large pages (which is good for performance).  Once that oversubscribe you too far, they will all move to 4 k pages, and your memory usage will drop dramatically.  After that, when the memory is the most... you are done... not go further: o)

  There are literally hundreds, but if getting vmware these tips here sticky would be we would have probably two times fewer threads and a much higher quality content.  Of course, #3, #6 and #7 will probably provoke a debate already.  I apologize in advance.

• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

Help.

  You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.

  Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.

  The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.

  A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.

  Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll

  I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition.  When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading specified not found \3\DLBUtime.dll module

  I just click 'ok' and he goes, but, as for what it stop popping up everytime I start my computer.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Aprilm,

  You are LuLu5119, who posted a question last August?

  If this isn't the case, you should have started your own thread.  If so (and even if not), you should have responded to questions about Dell printers.

  Assuming that you complain of a "Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll" message that appears when you start your computer, you should know that the DLBUtime.dll file probably has something to do with the software from Dell which has been partially deleted, but could also be indicative of malware as well as partially withdrawn.

  In both cases, the best way for start you to prevent the message at windows is to download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  Install the Autoruns and let it complete the scan of your computer.  Then click on the "Connection" tab and uncheck the following entry:

  Look for an entry that has 'DLBUCATS' in the first column.  If you do not see that, look for "rundll32 \3\dlbutime.dll" in the last column ("path of the Image).

  Uncheck that entry, close Autoruns and restart your computer.  You should get is no longer the message.

  If for any reason, you find later that you need dlbutime.dll running, run Autoruns and check the box. If you decide that you need never again, run Autoruns, right-click on the entry and select Delete.

  As General precautionary measure, in case your entry dlbutime.dll was related to malicious software, rather than the Dell printing software, download the following free scanners:

  MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware Portable: http://superantispyware.com/portablescanner.html

  For MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, download, install, update and run.
  For Portable SAS, follow the instructions on the Web page (note that the instructions assume that you use a different computer to download; if you're not, just make a note of the name of the file).

  Hello JothinVedere

  After you have re-installed Windows XP, you can go on the site Web of Norton and download the software from their part. Once you have downloaded it you should be asked for an email or an account that you configured when you first bought Norton, log. After that, Norton is turned on with the rest of the time for your subscription should be displayed. If you have further questions about Norton, you can click on their link to support here.

  Hi Ebenton,

  Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on some devices of removable media, such as USB flash drives, speed up your computer. When you insert a device with this capability, the AutoPlay dialog box will offer you the option to speed up your system using Windows ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can then choose how much memory to use for this purpose.

  This feature comes with all editions of Windows 7.
