Mode locking ESXi and Tech Support Mode warning

• ESXi and vSphere support on older hardware?

  I have freelance consulting work.  I often need a VMware platform for the work I do.  For the most part, I've been running on desktop on my laptop.  That works well for some things, but for other things, I really need ESXi.

  Being a small shop with a budget of small equipment, I'm looking for a low cost solution.  I found an old HP DL380 G4 for a very reasonable price.  It is not a big box, but it would do well for my needs.

  My question: how long is this likely to be taken platform supported in ESXi/vSphere?  No reason to expect to stop working anytime soon, or should I expect to work "forever"?

  Thank you!

  I have a few old DL360 G4 models in my test environment, and they certainly VT support. A glance on the Intel site shows that without VT - x support (http://ark.intel.com/products/27089/64-bit-Intel-Xeon-Processor-3_60E-GHz-2M-Cache-800-MHz-FSB) XEON Processors

• MacBook Air tech support scams

  Hello

  Has anyone heard of US Software Solutions Inc. and scams on them? I checked their site, seems legitimate, but anyone can put up a Web site. I called the numbers provided, a person pick up... however...

  I think I have been scammed. Yesterday, my computer froze with a popup that showed that I had a mistake and tech support number provided. I tried to stop the laptop, tried to force quit safari. The pop up kept repeating. I tried to open apple support, tabs would be open but the gel. I called technical support, with hesitation... bad feeling all the time... gave them the $, because they 'fixed' my laptop online... now it works, but I'm afraid to use it. By banking example, passwords etc.

  I am not computer savy.  Any suggestions? Help

  Yes, you have been scammed. Contact your bank for more details on how to deal with the fraud. Immediately change all passwords for anything that may have never accessed from this computer. For ultimate peace of mind, you can restore your computer using a backup prior to the access by criminals.

  For future reference: Force Quit Safari, then restart Safari while holding the SHIFT key... That's all.

• Remode Tech Support Mode WARNING

  Hosts built with ESXi 4.1

  VSphere 4.1

  HA cluster

  I enable SSH or "Remote Tech Support Mode" and I get a warning in vsphere saying "Remode Tech Support on the host has been activated" and a warning triangle yellow on the host that I can't recognize or reject)

  ( http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016205)

  I just want to see yellow or red for the things I want, but not for something I want! After that everything is very expensive, so I don't know why VMware tell us we can't get rid of this warning.

  Is anyone able to get rid of this warning?

  Thank you

• Problem recovery Tech Support Mode Status in vsphere 4.1

  Hi, when you run the following on an ESXi4.0 host it retrieves the State of whether or not the tech support mode is enabled.  When I run the same command against a crowd of vsphere 4.1 is not.  < Get - VMHostAdvancedConfiguration - VMkernel.Boot.techSupportMode name > command

  Is there a way to pull out if the tech support mode is enabled on a host esxi 4.1?

  Thank you

  Tech Support mode now works as two services - local TSM and TSM remotely (SSH).

  You can query remote TSM by the following:

   Get-VMhostService -VMhost $VMhost | where {$_.Key -eq "TSM-SSH"}
  

  Local TSM is has a key of 'TSM '.

• Lifestyle support PowerCLI and tech

  Here, I'm puzzled. I have tech support mode (VMkernal.Boot.techSupportMode is enabled) and the boxes were restarted. Yet when I ask TSM powercli, I see no evidence of it.

  In addition, using the VI client, I don't see such TSM shown in the news at the bottom of the link. All I see is the above mentioned services.

  http://www.van-Lieshout.com/2011/01/ESXi-tech-support-mode/

  Also, I used the info in the below link to check the TSM is enabled and all looks right. I don't understand why I can't see TSM.

  http://www.virtu-al.NET/2010/03/01/PowerCLI-technical-support-mode/

  Looks like I've got TSM activate, but why can't I see it.. ?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hi friend

  How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console?

  I run the sub command and it failed.

  ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below

  (1) install VCLI
  (2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
  (3) use vihostupdate to install the driver
  vihostupdate-i b - servername
  He will ask for username and password of your host.

• LogMeIn and guaru tech support and pareto tech

  I have trouble downloading desktop BB so I contacted via Skype, I think it's teck support Guaru which stood on a microsoft Web site. We did the logmein.com and they took control of my computer and said: I have major problems they would be in trouble for $120. I stupidly gave them my name and email when the asked before they said what it would cost. I told them it's too, and we disconnected. A did the same thing with pareto, they wanted to just make me buy their product. I'm in trouble through identity theft?

  Sorry it is Mytechguru I did part of Microsoft. NA not pay anything, but I give them my email and name. Have you ever heard of them.

  "We did the logmein.com and they take control of my computer.

  And you have given remote access to your computer:

  Follow these general tips if you are still worried:

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

• Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my ID stolen FB and I can't connect with a living soul!

  Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my FB ID stolen and I can't connect with a living soul! I'm really tired of FACEBOOK and ZUCKERBERG, boasts getting its 1 billionth Member, meanwhile, its members have problems with scams, hackers, even FACEBOOK is now BANNING people for the addition of family and friends! This must be a scam any seriously! Im sick of him, he turned my whole as for social networks. If it wasn't for the fact that I have almost all of my family in Europe and around the world all in one place, I would certainly remove my account. The problem with that is if you delete your FACEBOOK PROFILE, you don't actually remove them. FB keeps them because they are the property of Facebook the minute climb you the post! This information is in the conditions of joining Facebook, but not on the registration page! that is wrong with this picture. THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, IT IS Y HAS NO PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL TO REPORT YOUR STOLEN ID AND NOW I HAVE TO ALL RUN IT AROUND TO TRY TO FIND A CYBER CRIME UNIT WHO WILL HELP ME! How can the other thing, I know if Mytechgurus.com is a legitimate business. As I've been hacked and my ID stolen (curiously enough all what's happened just as I was banned from Facebook to add a friend, I've not seen in 36 years.) They have deleted my friendship with her and banned me for 7 days)! Facebook. MyTechGurus.com have charged me $700.00 for 2 pc for serivce of 24/7 for 2 years. Granted they have always been there in the last 6 weeks to help with all the problems that the pirate had created. They've phoned while I had a technician remote access online help with verbal information as it was a huge problem. but I put it back now because a governing body here in Australia called SCAM WATCH who is supposed to tell you who is a scam and is not was good enough to tell me that they are there only to report a scam, they can not physically tell you if one of them is actually a scam or not! I was left to literally chasing my own tail! HE IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME AT ALL!

• New technologies of Image, OMG Tech Support and PC health Boost legit or scammers?

  I downloaded PC health Boost in response to a pop up and signed for $29.  The technician got remote access to my computer and made several areas requiring a rationalization suggested a best anti malware. He suggested that I could take my computer to the local Office Depot, or doing service remotely by the OMG Tech Support for $299 for a year of technical support. I signed up for remote assistance - for what he called a step 13 tune up and 1 year service tech for $299. He also suggested Stopzilla anti malware software for laptops for $50 each. I paid $405 with my credit card. He transferred me to a technician from the OMG that was supposed to take charge; I was to leave the computer open, connected and powered. I checked at 2:40; Watch box still "awaiting technician. About 07:00 msg showed work was going on, do not touch the mouse or keyboard. I tried to find a few reviews for OMG Internet and came across a question as to if OMG was a scam. The expert's response was that it was because of several reasons, she cited. I called automated national operator and request Microsoft support services, received somehow a couple of numbers in New York. (We are in the State of Washington).  I called the number that turned out be the support for new technologies of the Image. They said that OMG was a scam, Stopzilla was a bad anti-malware and to shut down my computer then OMG couldn't do any damage. I called my credit card to stop payment of OMG, (I forgot to PC Boost) and signed to the top with a new Image for 3 months of technical support and to check on my computer and cancel the job of OMG. The technician of the new Image then obtained remote access to my computer and has worked and will continue tomorrow.

  Now, I am completely lost and scared. Are all scams? They are all legitimate? My computer and information been compromised?  What should I do?

  Of the tank and into the fire. The list of scammers to which you have subscribed is more, isn't it.

  Keep a note of all companies currently take you on a tour at your expense and then make a return to the installation of the factory of Windows to ensure that, when everything is back running, all passwords are replaced by something very strong.

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

  Likely, you will not answer to a popup in the future that requires money in Exchange for the worst computer support that you will never get...

  Hi Edwin,.

  May I know what is happening when you try to open a PDF file with Adobe Acrobat app on your device Galaxy.

  Try this:

  Go to settings > Applications > Adobe Acrobat

  Under the terms of the App Info, click on clear Cache

  Then try to open a PDF file

  Still, if this does not work

  Uninstall the application

  Then download and install directly from APK files.

  I would like to know if it works for you.

  Thank you
