Many versions of VMware Workstation there is, I've been able to put a Virtual Machine for a date in the past and make it stay there.

The instructions were pretty simple, add the following entries to VMX:

rtc.startTime = "YourValue.

tools.syncTime = "FALSE".

Time.Synchronize.continue = "FALSE".

Time.Synchronize.Restore = "FALSE".

Time.Synchronize.Resume.Disk = "FALSE".

Time.Synchronize.Resume.Memory = "FALSE".

Time.Synchronize.Shrink = "FALSE".

This no longer seems to work (unless it is me).  Is there a new procedure for VMware 12 and greater?

I don't use this feature myself, but maybe that's all just because 'time.synchronize.tools.startup' is missing!

  • Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) include SP1 is the Virtual Machine for Java (MSJVM) installed on this and future Service Packs Microsoft remove it?

    While the installation of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 c on my Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) operating system (not sure if the 2002 version in it's original state included SP1), EULA (EULA) provided the contract included a paragraph stating that "ONLY in regards to THE VIRTUAL MACHINE MICROSOFT FOR JAVA, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED to INSTALL THIS OS COMPONENT ON A MACHINE THAT CONTAINS A ALREADY the VERSION OF THE MICROSOFT JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE". Assuming that the MSJVM was included with Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002), I advanced and accepted the EULA. I then downloaded and installed Windows XP SP2 and SP3, but wasn't sure whether SP2 and SP3 removed the MSJVM in any point. However, research on the question, I discovered the site "FAQ of Transition MSJVM" (updated May 7, 2004), who answered the question: ' if I install Windows XP SP1a or later, it will remove my current MSJVM? " with "No, the operating system upgrade will not remove a MSJVM existing on the computer" (http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/interoperability/java/faq.aspx). However, I can't find any instance of it on my computer.

    So my questions are:

    1. Windows XP Home (Version 2002) Edition include SP1?
    2. The MSJVM is installed on this version?
    3. SP2 or SP3 removes the MSJVM in any point to?

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

  • My date/time settings mobile keep returning to time and dates in the past frequently, is there a fixx for this problem?

    My Lenvo V570 keeps returning to different dates/time in the past, and he is only 6 months old? It has Windows 7 64 bit os. At an i5 QuadCore Intel processors inside. Is there a software fix or patch to stop this problem?

    Lisa,

    A low CMOS battery can sometimes various issues, including slow, locking unexplained performance issues as well as others.

    It is quite rare, but the battery is relatively easy to replace, check the manual of your computer/motherboard for replacement details.

    Generally, the battery is a watch battery "CR2032", about the size of a nickel.

    I have yet to see a laptop whose battery is easy to replace...

    Here is a simple test to check if the battery needs to be replaced:

    1. Start the computer in Mode without failure.
    2. Set the date and time.
    3. Stop the machine.
    4. Remove the battery from bit and disconnect the machine from the sector.
    5. Wait at least 24 hours.
    6. Start the computer in Mode without failure.
    7. Check the date and time.
    If the time is incorrect then you are probably dealing with a flat battery from motherboard. You will probably get the machine to replace unless you have good skills in disassembly of electronic components.

  • After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

    Hello

    In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

    If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

    I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

    How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

    Any help is appreciated!

    Concerning

    Manfred

    Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

    I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

    Here's how:

    $vmName = 
    $tgtHost = 
    $tgtPool = 
    
    $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
    $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
    $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
    
    $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
    
    while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
      $task.UpdateViewData()
    }
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
    

    I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

    In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

    function Print-VmName{
         param($event)
    
         $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
         $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
         $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
         $vm = Get-View $MoRef
         Write-Host $vm.Name
    }
    
    $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
    $events | % {
         $event = $_
         $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
         switch ($eventType){
              "VmMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "TaskEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event

  • Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

    I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

    The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

    Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

    Thank you in advance,

    Heath

    2 things:

    1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

    2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    MemTrimRate = 0

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

    Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

  • Paid the required version for functions that eliminate the details and sensitive information?

    We have downloaded version 11 of Acrobat and we need to remove sensitive information such as the details of the property and anything else relating to the documents that we do not want the end user to see. I know that it is possible to right click the icon of the Office for the paper, but with the help of this process does not remove completely all the information that we want to. I just watch the tutorial on how to remove sensitive information by using the function 'protection' (writing), but I don't see the same list of options on my version of acrobat. My guess is that these features are available on the paid version. Is this the case? Also, is it possible to set up acrobat so that by default, all of the sensitive information in the document and icon properties are deleted? We find that if we create a Word document and remove the icon properties and any other sensitive information, to remove that info again on saving in PDF format. The PDF file displays the info we do not want to send and I have tried different methods to remove the icon properties, but he seems to have no effect. Thank you for your help.

    The writing tool is only available with the professional version of Acrobat.

  • I can't create a new virtual machine, for the error "invalid state" of vmware

    Hi, I have an esx server with some production virtual machines vmware;

    Yestarday I made a new VM, suse linux, froma cdrom; but the file system broke down, it has been altered, I don't know why,

    and I had to cancel the machine using the "remove disc";

    After that I could read "a system general error occurred" and when I click on create a new virtual machine (ctrl + n), I can't because the answer is "invalid state".

    When I click on each virtual machine in 'events', I do not see the logs, I see this error "system general error occurred.

    can someone help me? , should I restart the service mgmt-vmware?  (init.d) on the host server?

    Thanks in advance, best regards

    If you use Virtual Center, rebbot VC server and try again. If this does not work, you may have to restart the ESX host.

  • Since the installation of version 4, on a 64-bit computer that is running Windows xp, I have a series of lines on the screen, and as I move the cursor, various parts of the screen are covered by black areas or colors randomly. Why?

    I gave you the basic information. My screen is messed up since I installed version 4. The location of the lines changes while I'm typing, or I change pages. And also the areas get blackened, as I move the cursor.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration. Click on the 'Tools' menu or the orange "Firefox" button, then select 'Options', go to 'Advanced' and uncheck the box next to "use hardware acceleration if available.

    If that solves the problem, it means that there is probably a bug in the graphics driver. Make sure that your Windows system is updated and the updates of your computer manufacturer driver.

  • How many virtual machines can be run using the bridge at the same time?

    I'm on Win 7 and XP both in Bridge mode. every time the two machines lights I lose the entire network including the host NIC connection. Once I have change the VM to NAT connection I can resume normal activity. Mode bridge on 2 or more VMs is not a supported configuration? Can someone please clarify? I'd appreciate the help.

    Thank you

    The default value for switch ports is often the "Desktop" mode, which limits access to the only 2 (port security) MAC addresses. If you need more the port need to be configured as a port of "access".

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 on vmware workstation 9

    Hello

    I have a laptop with windows 7 OS and installed a VM with windows server 2008 R2 OS using vmware workstation 9. The thing is without creating any user, VM is turining IT with the user that I connected my laptop. Is that how it behaves.

    Generally, when install us windows server on a physical machine, he asks to open a session with the administrator by changing the password.

    Could someone let me know how to change this?

    Thanks in advance

    This problem occur if you select the OS install disc when the VM... in this way creating the VMware Workstation uses a feature called Easy Install, where you will be asked for more information, including the user credentials.

    To avoid using Easy Install, during the creation of the VM, on install, select "I will install the operating system later":

    To read more about Easy Install, check page 35: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/desktop/ws90-getting-started.pdf

  • Share the virtual machine created in VMWare Player

    Hi all

    I created a virtual machine Ubuntu based using VMWare Player. The goal of this virtual machine is so it can be used for demonstrations on our societies SaaS based appliction. So basically the image works fine now, I have a few questions:

    1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

    2. If open the image in VMWare Player if he invites asking them 'have you copied"/"Moved"the virtual machine? Can I avoid this?

    3. it will work on their equipment?

    Any help appreciated.

    See you soon

    I can help you with your questions;

    1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

    Zipper the VM directory should work correctly, it will just extract somewhere on their machine to run it.

    2. If open the image in VMWare Player it will ask asking them

    "You copied" / "Moved" the virtual machine? Can I avoid

    This?

    To the best of my knowledge, you can't avoid it, and they should probably answer "copied" in the situation you describe.

    3. it will work on their equipment?

    It's a pretty loaded question.  Obviously, it must be run the Intel instruction set and have a Player version available for their OS.  I ran with success of virtual machines on a laptop Centrino 1.6 GHz single core, but startup performance left a little to be desired.  I think that a minimum of 1 GB of memory for a host running XP or Linux, probably at least 2 GB for one of the more recent Windows operating systems.  More memory would be better, but it will probably work with what I suggested.  Of course, player must be installed on these hosts.  Then make sure that the parameter memory your VM is as small as you can reasonably do.

    I have provided virtual machines by providing copies of the record, and they worked very well.  In my case, I created my VMs on my Mac with Fusion, but then run it with Fusion or player.
