Move the vcenter & composer with view Linked clones.

Composer and vCenter from Windows 2008 to Windows 2012R2. Names of iPs and host will change.

I don't know how re-point the connector servers so they point to the new vCenter and the composer server without losing my clone of link stocks?


Hello

I don't think that you can do.

Moving workstations managed by sight between VMware vCenter servers is not supported (1018045)

You can change the composer server, following the procedure for the migration of the composer to another machine, but vcenter Server I do not.

If your vcenter is configured at the Admin to view via a FULL domain name, you can then change the ip address. Not the right host name.

Thank you

John

  • VMware View Linked Clone pool - SID change of virtual machines

    Dear community

    This morning I had the good idea to use instead of quickprep sysprep to change the SID for all virtual machines in the linked clone pools. Why? Because the customer didn't only VMs and use KMS to activate Office and Windows, therefore at least 50 different sid. Well, I created a file of OS customization invited for Windows (OS is Windows 7) in vCenter (which is connected to view admin) and I did:

    Target Machine Virutal OS: Windows

    Use custom Sysprep answer file: No.

    Name: The name of the file

    Owners name: xy

    Owner organization: xy

    Diabate

    VM name: Use the virtual computer name

    ProductKey: Leave blank

    Admin password: play twice

    ZimeZone: GMT + 1

    Run once: no

    Network: Typical with DHCP

    Domain: Credentials client area incl.

    Operating system options: create new SID

    Finishing, went to view Admin has created a new and Cust comments. to Syprep (Filename). Blended at the pool and it worked very well until the generalization starts... it stucks at regional settings, when I restart the same. When I klick net he asks me for a computer name and a password.

    Well:

    (1) why is this block here? Yes there are still stuck because I was not able to specify a locale, or if it is not needed? Why he can pop up?

    (2) why he asks me for a computername? I told her to use an existing one.

    (3) why he asks me a password? I told her what to use.

    Well I toigh ok Let's use an answwer sysprep file that I've included a second cost of comments. file (withi the guest also reset SID). Well it works greate except the designation: I said in the answer file to use the variable % computername %, which is certainly the name of the master, so VDI does not change this name...

    (1) the sysprep answer file the rightway anyway?

    (2) how do I get the new name out of sight for the VM for example VM001 instead of Master001

    If I check the comments cust. file without sysprep answer file I see there function which can crreate names for VMS as vim.virtualmachinenamegenerator (or something like that) is it possible to use sysprep as well? Well at the end, I just want to change the SID of the virtual machines each time they recompose is to have enough unique SID in the network! How do I need to do?

    Best regards

    Duke is your main reason for the use of sysprep to work around the problem of SIDS?

    We only use VDI on site for 700 + users and clients windows 7 and Office 2010 is activated through KMS.and we use quickprep because his headache free and easy.

    I use the following to help with the problem of SIDS:

    Manually to increase the number of KMS. Think Digital the application is clean.

    Its very well explained in the link above.

  • Virtual office to backup VMWare View linked Clone

    Hi all

    I would like to know what the best method is to save the virtual office linked clone on VMWare View. For the moment, I use the latest version of vRanger Pro connection with VCB integration.

    I don't know if I should save the linked clone himself or the parent VM. What the parent snapshot?

    Please advice. Thank you.

    Sang A

    in a persistent pool would really matter because there is no guarantee they would never return the same office again.  If you have a properly configured user environment then persistence or no persistence would not matter that the data would be stored in a place that would be subject to a backup system.   I don't understand the need to safeguard a VDI guest.  back to top comments templates, view servers and the vCenter server.  Comment no way.  backup windows are pretty long already to go back up throw away from devices.

  • Move the vCenter to another cluster... How?

    We rotate the camera 5.5.0 vcenter and need to move from a cluster with ESX 4.1.0 hosts in a cluster hosts ESXi 5.5.0.  Two clusters are in the same data center, but no space for common storage.

    We have migrated all the old cluster to the new VM using vMotion.  It is now time for the vCenter himself.

    How should I go about this?  Some downtime for vCenter is probably inevitable.

    Thank you... Lyle

    With the help of Support, here's what I did:

    -a clone of the vCenter VM for the cluster target & storage, but do not start the new virtual machine

    -change the properties for the new virtual machine so its MAC address is the same as the old VM

    -stop vCenter with its interface web admin

    -with vSphere client connected to the source host, stop the guest OS (suse) of the former VM

    -with customer vSpere connected to the destination host, turning on the new virtual machine

    Thanks to all for the comments... Lyle

  • Best method to move the VCenter server on new server

    I need to move my VCenter server to a new machine.

    The computer name and the IP address will be different from the original.

    1 should I use the existing database or there will be too many references to the old server vCenter Server?

    2. should I start from scratch on a new server and import my 5 ESX servers?  (Story not so important for me)

    If I start, unplug the old and add it again or just to add again and it will automatically remove the old?

    Best methods out there?  A document any?

    Thanks for any help in advance

  • Reorganize work plans and move the work hidden with both work plan?

    Is it possible to use the option to "Reorganize the work plans" in the dropdown to work plans and also the movement not only the plan of work itself, but also the hidden work (layers, objects, etc.) on this work plan?

    I tried marking check the option 'move illustration with work plan' , but that still does not move the hidden work. The default behavior seems to be that only the active or visible work is moved with the artboard, but the work of hiddden is left behind somewhere on the workspace where the work plan used to be before it was moved.

    I find it a little heavy, because I often hide work that I test and have to do all visible again to move them just with the artboard would break the dinstinction between all many very similar layers, objects, etc. that I could work with at any given time.

    If anyone has some advice please chime...

  • The ESXi host upgrade, replicas linked clones

    I am trying to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi ESXi hosts.  I have some clone bound view pools and their replicas that has been created.  Given that these replicas are instant, they can be vmotioned.  What is the best method of upgrading a host ESXi replicas with snapshots on it? Just upgrade the host and let the lines where they are?

    Thanks in advance.

    From my experience every time you put the host in maintenance the replica mode is moved offshore to another host in the cluster.   You can then perform you upgrade with no problems.

  • move the window app with a finger slide

    Hello

    I lost a feature of my OS X (El Capitan) I really like and do not know how to bring it back. This feature allows to move a window from one space to another app just using one finger around any window title bar. He is still working on my Macbook, but not on my iMac. I guess you why. If anyone can help me.

    I never heard of 'one finger '; You can set to hang out with 'slide three fingers' in system preferences - > accessibility-> mouse and Trackpad-> Trackpad Options. Perhaps by comparing the settings that you have here and those in the system-> between your two Mac Trackpad preferences you can understand what is different.

    Or maybe you have a few add-on from third party that is installed on a mac, but not the other?

  • Yet created the animation flash with HTML link

    Having some problems with (in CS6) recently.

    Use it to create a flash with the link of file HTML file.

    Flash is installed and running, but when clicking on the index file I just get the black box and nothing else in the web browser.

    Tried Firefox, IE and Chrome, all with the same results.

    It worked well on 09/05/16 but the 15th, it had stopped working.

    The play flash file directly works without any problem.

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    I took a few minutes. An old yet to Flash projects displays the player controls and does not work. A new export shows no control and does not work.

    Nothing has changed in still (it has not been updated for a long time). Flash (23.0.0.162) and I don't think that has changed. I don't remember when it worked last.

    So I headed to the forum Flash and discovered that it was a new version of flash (5 days ago) which has the default value no local file access. It's a security issue. See this link for the workaround:

    Flash Player 23 23 AIR release notes

    All good once again!

  • Join the Parent picture to the domain before you create linked clones?

    Agree with Mittim12...   Works either way, but we have our images of parent is joined to the domain before.  This help us to do things that is install OK on the image for domain use for users and allows us to do some more test before we deployment.

  • Replace the Win7 login with view Client screen

    Howdy

    I don't know yet if it's possible, but I heard that you can replace the login screen of Windows XP with the Client of the view, so that when the computer/Thin Client starts, the first thing you see is a connection for the customer to view, and by entering the credentials, you are connected to the virtual computer.  Loging out of the virtual machine that takes back you to the login screen ' display/computer customer '.

    Is there something similar to this in Windows 7?

    I would like a way for my users can connect to a virtual machine as quickly and easily to these thin clients as posible, making them more in the terminals that real thin clients.
