• Windows 2008 R2 NIC disconnected when converting from a model and started using workflow start-vm in VCO

  Hello

  Have a very strange problem. I wanted to apply patches using a VCO on my model R2 2012 Windows workflow and Windows 2008 R2 models. My model of Windows 2008 R2 when converted and started by the workflow VCO does NOT get an ip address. Yet, when I manually turn on the model of Windows 2008 R2 after be converted manually, it gets an ip address immediately. So weird.  There is no problem with 2012 Windows, it works very well. NOTE: The workflow that starts the virtual machine only turns on (and is built in the workflow built by vmware) Finally, today I built a new model and has the same problem. NIC is VMXNET3 and problem seems of course specific OS, has anyone seen this before?

  Thank you

  I found this article and fix it. It resembles a known issue with VSphere 5.1

• Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter model

  Hello

  I would like to know, when I create a model of Windows 2008 r2 DataCenter, I need to delete VM tools?

  With the help of Microsoft sysprep is a good idea or better to use VMware Guest customization?

  I have 5.0 vSphere update 1 install again today.

  Thank you

  Yes, VMware tools must be installed on all the comments of the OS in my opinion.

  For W2K8 and above, we use the VMware comments customization process, which uses the integrated to W2K8 R2 sysprep process.  So, when you are finished with you 'gold image', just stop it, no need for Windows sysprep.  Then, create customization specifications, before or during the deployment out of the pattern and use it.

  Good luck!

• Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

  Hello

  See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

  If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

  Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

  Tried to move the comments on different hosts

  Tried to create a new template from scratch

  NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

  Anyone seen this before?

• Duplicate the NIC GUID under Windows 2008 R2

  I have created a model of Windows 2008 R2 and you can "Deploy VMS of this model" with her.

  I can also use the comments customization feature to configure the virtual machine created from this model, and they get properly configured (joined to the domain, key license added, etc.).

  The problem is that when I go to create a cluster with these hosts, it fails with the following error:

  'Validate that Windows Firewall is configured correctly to allow failover cluster network communication.
  An error occurred while running the test.
  There was an error in checking configuration of the firewall.
  An element with the same key has already been added. »

  When I do a "get-wmiobject win32_networkadapter | "fl name, guid" in powershell, I see that the network cards on the two hosts have the same GUID.

  If I make a sysprep on the host computer before making a model then I get the unique GUID but customization of VMWare does not work.

  Either I shouldn't need to do the sysprep command myself (as for some reason, it's on the vcenter server) or the unattended answer file, I use when I manually sysprep has misconfigured options.

  If anyone has encountered this error and is there a solution outside "deploy model, then manually uninstall and add network adapters.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The last step of the bulding your model must be to remove and uninstall your Windows Server's network card.

  Before you convert your virtual machine to a model you add a new network card, to make sure that each virtual computer you deploy from your new model will have its unique NIC

• Hiberfil.sys and Windows 2008

  Hello

  Does anyone know if the hiberfil.sys file is required on a virtual Windows 2008 Server for any specific 'VM' related features?  For example it is necessary to do a Vmotion or create a snapshot?

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  Thank you

  SB

  No, not at all on the side of VMware.  You would only need to this feature, if you wanted to put into hibernation using native functions to its guest OS.

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  I do this procedure for all models of Windows 2008 I.

  Good luck!

• Windows 2008 Server boots very slow

  My sweet model of Windows 2008 Server starts in 30 seconds (4vCPUs [I know these are many vCPUs and recommended is to use as little as possible, but our needs of applications of this amount of vCPUs]) and 768 MB of memory)

  If I give the 3072 MB model there 1 minute and 40 seconds to start, which is a normal value? What are your values? why it takes so long if I add a bunch of memory?

  good point!, you should not normally need to start.

  Did you measure the performance of your application with 2cpu against 4cpus?

• Windows 2008 model

  I need set the default user for each user, I get the same profile in the windows 2008 r2 in EXSi 5.1 model.

  I found how to, where he is said to use utility Sysprep before converting machine 'model' but I thought it was "deploy the vm model" function to use sysprep.

  C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe  /generalize /unattend:unattend.xm

  OK, let me rephrase it:

  Sysprep is useful before conversion to the model because it allows for the virtual machine in a "clean" State This means that even if it should go through sysprep again, using a Customization Wizard (in the menu where you set your IP, etc.) / customization specification, (screenshot here: http://www.alexwho.com/.a/6a0133f4036f7f970b019b00093755970b-pi) but you can also choose to simply "redeploy" the model just with plain 'don't customize' option in the deployment model.

  In short, sysprepping any virtual machine for the use of the model is advised that cleans the system for its subsequent cloning - it gets rid of superfluous objects.

• model of vSphere with windows 2008 R2 deployment

  Hi guys.

  I'm going around in circles at the moment.

  I will deploy windows 2008 R264-bitStandard. I have bought the relevant VL MAK and won't use KMS.

  So the questions I have are:

  When you create a model I should activate the model and deploy?

  As far as I know, this would lead to kick in the activation process.

  Should I deploy and activate?

  I was wondering if someone has managed to create a customization script to prevent the reactivation or automate?

  Thank you

  Dougie

  We do activation at the end for each computer virtual created from the template. keeps things simple for now.

• Model of Windows Server 2008 R2 will not domain join

  Hello.

  I made a few model of Windows Server 2008 R2 to our esx 4 update 1 hosts.

  My isue is that these servers will not join the domain with the customization, I did. I know I use the right user (with appropriate rights) because I use the same user on other models.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Do I did wrong?

  Hi all

  If you guys have tried to enter the area do not use the NetBIOS name? In other words... Please try entering the domain FULL of the domain name.

  Also make sure that the connection is entered with the UPN and not the pre-Windows 2000 format, in other words: username@FQDN instead of user domain\username

  Thank you!

• Deploy Windows 2008 Server X 64 reviews of model with customization on Virtual Center 4.0 using the ESX 3.5 hosts

  Deployment of Windows 2008 Server X 64 system of operating invited by using hosts Virtual Center 4.0 and ESX 3.5 implements a message telling me:

  Cannot deploy the model: customization of the

  guest operating system "winVistaGuest" is not

  supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista

  (TM) and Linux with Logical Volume guests

  Manager are supported only for the recent ESX host

  and versions of VMware Tools. Refer to vCenter

  error

  This isn't just normal? Just today I upgraded to VC4.0 to be able to deploy my new servers based on findings on this forum. And no matter if I change the Machintype Vista x 64 or elsewhere Vista32 (what is wrong of course). Any other gopt experience with this?

  There should be no need to upgrade to vCenter4 just to be able to customize a W2K8 Guest.  We vCenter 2.5 and have no problem.

• Export security settings local to a stand-alone Windows 2008 server in html format

  Can I know how much is possible to export the local security settings (including local policies, event log, models of administration) to a stand-alone Windows 2008 Server to a single file (for example, html or txt)?

  I know that "gpresult" can do, but it works only on member servers. Can we capture output similar to a server that is not joined to the domain?

  Thanks in advance.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• Need software driver for Windows 2008 R2

  Pavilian dv6:

  HP Pavilion WB386PA/A5Z91PA #AP

  Recently, I bought this laptop with integrated OS and software Bundle. I wanted to install windows 2008 R2 for SharePoint 2010.

  After the Windows 7 Home Premium I have uninstall and installed a Windows 2008 R2, I could not able to connect the USB or the network.
  It says "Windows doesn't detect a network for this driver." When I checked all devices through the computer to manage menu. All devices are yellow color except the DVD player,

  I tried to update the drivers for my laptop now. How/where/what download?

  GUID me please.

  Hello:

  If you go into your BIOS under the system information window, you should get a model number.

  Or you can use this scan to HP tool to see if you can automatically detect your model number.

• Adding appropriate on a PowerEdge R720 Server Windows 2008 R2 Dell drivers

  I'm new on this server model so I apologize if this is a simplistic question. My COMPUTER service gave me 4 servers Dell PowerEdge R720 with no OS on them and no other information or documentation. I was able to get the Windows 2008 R2 OS installed base, but fight with the addition of the drivers necessary Dell or components. Is there an easy way to detect what I have and automatically install what I need?

  You could run SUU from the operating system:
  http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=9CXFR&FILEID=3421957643&osCode=WS8R2&ProductCode=PowerEdge-R720&LanguageCode=en&CategoryID=SM

  It's huge (+ 10 GB), then it may not be the best way. You can download and install the drivers one at a time. Start with the chipset driver, then install the drivers for the device with the yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager, have installed drivers 'generic' and all available drivers that are newer to the native Windows drivers - you will need probably the video drivers and the network may be drivers. You must also install OpenManage Server Administrator (Managed Node).

• 2850 problem - Windows 2008 R2 - PE with Driver HD

  Hello

  I am trying to install windows 2008 R2 on a PE 2850, but it does not work.

  The problem is that windows does not recognize the hard drive (when should I choose on what partition I want to install the OS).

  I tried to load the driver PERC 4e/DI RAID v6.46 (from the dell support site), but it says that the driver is not digitally signed.

  The installation works with Windows 2008, the version of the driver is 6.50, so I and it loaded when installing 2008 R2, but this isn't work eather (same message).

  I also tried with lsi.com driver, the driver version is 6.51, it is digitally signed, but it does not work for the 4e/DI (4/Di, 4e/DC,... but not 4e/DI).

  Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Reference dell do something?

  Thank you

  Firstly, be sure this is the driver you are using:

  When you have created your logical drives, did you also initialize it them?

  You can also try to install via USB key - this is how I do all of my installs more:

  There was a similar problem for me who ends up being a weird DVD disc problem - it would install each OS with the exception of 2008 R2 - but it was isolated on one single disc well - other readers who have exactly the same brand/model/firmware worked fine.
