New capture instant creation of the snapshot with the State of the computer when back

Hello

I am trying to create a script to remove the previous snapshot and re - create later after that I changed the virtual computer for some reason any. Have all the machines themselves up so after applying the snapshot, I can run test on them without delay.


This is the script:

SE connect-VIServer $server - user $username - password $password

for ($c = 1; $c - 7; $c ++)

{

for ($t = 1; $t - 2; $t ++)

{

$VM = get-VM-name "${hostmask} c$ {c} t$ {t}.

write-host "${hostmask} c$ {c} t$ {t}.

$Snapshot = get-Snapshot - VM $VM - name $snapshotName

If ($Snapshot - not $null) {}

Remove-snapshot - cliché $Snapshot - confirm: $false

}

Try {new-Snapshot - VM $VM - name $snapshotName |} Out-Null}

Catch {$_.exception | select *;} Write-Host "Unable to create the snapshot for $i" ;}

}

}

If the script works fine, the only problem is that snapshots are created as if the machines have been turned off, which is not. In addition, the creation of snapshots take only a second, which is not normal.

No idea why this might happen?

Kind regards

Ruben

The default value for the switch memory on the cmdlet New-Snapshot is $false.

So if you want to include the memory in the snapshot, you must do

Try {new-Snapshot - VM $VM - name $snapshotName - memory |} Out-Null}

  • New capture instant error - not sure what to look for

    Hello

    Sometimes, I get this error when I try to create a snapshot:

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • Can I download Office on my new HDD after reinstallation of Windows XP? Office was on my computer when I bought it.

    I have an IBM thinkpad R50 and recently had problems with my hard drive.  I bought a new hard drive and a local computer repair shop try to clone my hard drive to the new.  Unfortunately, since the old disc had some problems of sector, they were unable to make a clone, so they had to reinstall the operating system on the new hard drive and copy just my data (not programs).  As a result, the new hard drive doesn't have Microsoft office (Outlook, Word, Excel) tools that were on my computer when I bought it.  I have Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and my registration number of Loye.  Is it possible for me to download Office on my new hard drive?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer that you initially provided with your computer, with Office already installed.
    Ask them to provide the office disk/s.

  • I get a message that says that I must allow the computer when you try to download music purchased at the newly bought laptop.

    Original title: iTunes Question

    I recently bought a new Windows 7 laptop and downloaded iTunes. I have hundreds of songs already purchased and need to download on this computer... when I access my account and then click on download, I get a message that says that I must allow the computer. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Thank you!

    You can check with Apple because they created iTunes.  Check the Apple Web site, I found the following FAQ on what you need to do to allow a new device:

    1. Open iTunes
    2. From the Store menu, choose authorize this computer.
    3. When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, and then click allow.

    Note: if you already allowed iTunes to another PC and that you no longer use this computer, you should have allowed him out before getting rid of it.  If you don't do this, you might consider off allowing all devices first, then allowing the new PC.

  • How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?

    Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?

    I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.

    So I would like to know how to change the password.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?

    If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.

    To do this:

    1. Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
    2. On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
      On the right, you will see the account named Administrator.  There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled.
    3. Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled".  Click OK to save your changes.
    4. Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
    5. Back to the same page of user management.  Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
    6. Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
    7. Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account.  You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.

    I hope this helps!

  • Restart the computer when changing the channel of live TV

    I am running Windows Media Center 2002 Service pack 3 on my computer.  The computer is connected directly to the cable (without box) line.  The computer is a HP 873n.

    I ran the TV setup in windows Media Center, but when I try to change the channel, the computer restarts.

    The absence of a digital tuner would cause the reset of the computer?  If so, what tuner would be compatible with the computer so I can install it?

    You need the Digital Terminal Adapter box that offers to Comcast. You should be

  • Intermittent freezing of the computer when opening programs

    Hello. I have intermittent freezing problems which I will try to describe. About 5 to 7 times a week I click on a link like Comcast Mail Office.

    The 'think' rotation slider will begin, the page does not load and then a message appears after a minute or two for example 'Windows cannot find Comcast.net' the only way I was able to solve this problem is to restart with the power-it button does not restart by using the standard method. I pretty much can do nothing until I restarted and then the computer works well. Comcast has tested the modem and the connection and says it's ok.

    The issue occurs at random times. It happens more frequently when I begin a session, but it froze several times while I'm running an application or are already on the internet. I performed the tests in the pc tools and things seem ok. I have 3 GB of ram and a measure of consumption on my desk that indicates normal operation.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated. It is far from aggravating and barely embarrassing, but I would like to know the cause.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate Edition started cutting the computer when certain usb devices are connected

    I had this platform for a few years with no problems. Last week when I went to sync an ipod (which I had already done several times) it abruptly shuts. I can it restarts, but when I try to sync the ipod, same thing happens, no error message full closed.  Also, I noticed that when I am attaching other devices such as an external hard drive or a blackberry it stops.  Today, he does even without fixing anything. All of these devices were working very well.  I have disassembled the computer, cleaned all fans, removed all dust bunnies. I have an ASUS MB, cpu temperature seems good. I think it's a software/driver problem. The thing is I have not installed anything, System Restore does nothing, all the usb drivers say they are up-to-date. All USB ports are affected, even most directly on the MB.  Anyone had this happen?  I think buying windows 7 and try it because I don't want to replace the motherboard, I spent $$ on this a few years ago, raid, etc. of liquid cooling.

    It should last me awhile longer, last year the food out crapped (dust bunnies blocked fan), I replaced with a 1100 watt tagan. This system had worked great for a year, so I don't think it's a matter of P/S.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Highrever,

    1. do you have the latest Vista service pack installed on the computer?

    b. expand Bus USB controllers.

    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.

    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

    e. restart the computer.
