Odd listing with .vmx file

I dip a few virtual machines, and I have a script I found online (don't remember who it was, but probably LucD).  The script is not the issue, but the csv file that references the script has some of these lines:

floppy0. Now, FALSE

ide0:0. Now, FALSE

logging, TRUE

Well, the script seems to work very well, but then when I check the file .vmx avec.extensiondata.config.extraconfig (Get - VM "Name"), the _.key $ for any line that has to do with the virtual material does not appear.  I don't think it's really a problem of script, but this section is so active, that maybe someone can lead me in the right direction, and I used PowerCLI for the settings, so I guess it's relevant.  There are several lines, and everything looks fine except for the material of the lines:

floppy0. Now, FALSE

floppy1. Now, FALSE

ide0:0. Now, FALSE

ide0:1.present, FALSE

IDE1:0. Now, FALSE

IDE1:1.present, FALSE

parallel0. Now, FALSE

Serial0.present, FALSE

Other lines appear when I get back them:

insulation. Monitor.Control.Disable, true

insulation. Tools.ghi.AutoLogon.Disable, true

insulation. BIOS. BBS. Disable, true

isolation.tools.getCreds.disable, TRUE

Even if I 'change settings' > Options > advanced. General > Configuration settings and add a line, I can't retrieve it with powershell (only the material lines) if I directly edit the .vmx file and backup copy, these lines do not arise with powershell, but they will appear if I look at the file .vmx Windows with Scripture, or any other text editor.

If anyone has experienced this?  More important, nobody knows what I'm doing wrong?

The script is here and there is a CSV file that I use with the examples I listed, he has the key, columns of values correctly

Line of #This matter the pair key / value for the parameter .vmx

$import = import-Csv "C:\STIGapply\STIG_current.csv".

$VMs = get-back STIG | ' Get - VM"* clone.

$vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

{Foreach ($item in $import)

$extra = new-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue

$extra. Key = $item. Key

$extra. Value = $item. Value

$vmConfigSpec.extraconfig += $extra

}

{Foreach ($vm to $vms)

$vm. ExtensionData.ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)

}

In ExtraConfig , you will see only the VMX lines that do not have an actual entry in the VirtualMachine object.

In the case of these systems can be found in $vm. ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device.

  • Prepopulate the drop-down lists with xml file

    Hello world

    I'm trying to prepopulate a dropdown list using an xml file. There are many tutorials on the internet that allows me to do from the overview of the Designer tab. However, when I did it worked well, but I am not able to 'embed' the xml file so that the values appear in the workspace when the user starts a process.

    I tried to load the xml file with the contents of resource reading in the action profile of the first task and put the result in the "xmlPrepareData" but the problem is that I can't put all the values of the xmlPrepareData after because the xml model is not exactly the one used by LiveCycle.

    Any thoughts? Someone is already managed to prepopulate a dropdown list with an XML within the process?

    Kind regards

    Thomas

    OK gr8...

    Assuming you're able to get the XML process LC to your XDP/PDF form field.

    You can fix the XML from the drop-down under-

    clear the drop-down list box
    * DROPDOWN_Field.clearItems ();

    choiceList = XMLData.parse (* XML_Field.rawValue, false);

    divide the choiceList in an array of values

    choice = choiceList.resolveNodes("root.element[*].*NODENAME");

    var numchoices = choices.length;

    Adds an array of values in drop-down list
    for (var i = 0; i)< numchoices;="">

    {
    * DROPDOWN_Field.addItem (choices.item (i) .value);
    }

    * DROPDOWN_Field - is your field drop-down list.

    * XML_Field - is your XML data stored in a TextField.

    * NODENAME - is the name of the node in your XML to solve.

    I hope that Hepls...

  • How can I register all of the VMX files found in a list of stores of data with new names

    Hello-

    I'm trying to find a way to search through a given list of data and each discover a warehouse. VMX file, add this machine in the inventory I want to prepend the name of the machine as something different. That is to say, instead of "Machine1", I wish it were registetred as "auto-Computer1.  So, imagine I have an empty data center with 4 warehouses of data stored in a table $arrDatastoreToInclude.  I want to loop through each of these data stores and add all the VMX files I found back in the inventory.

    I know that I can use the following to get data warehouses I want:

    $dsindatacenter = get-data center $DataCenterName | Get-Datastore? | {$arrDatastoreToInclude - contains $_.} Name}

    But I have no idea how to analyze these data stores for the VMX files and what command to add them in the inventory.  Can anyone help?

    Try the following, it is based on the script of the position that Robert mentioned.

    You will need to provide a file (in $VMFolder) where unregistered virtual machines will be stored.

    The Set-VM cmdlet will take care of the rename.

    $DatacenterName = "MyDatacenter" $arrDatastoreToInclude = "DS1","DS2","DS3","DS4"
    
    $dc = Get-DataCenter $DataCenterName $dsindatacenter =  Get-Datastore -Datacenter $dc | ?{$arrDatastoreToInclude -contains $_.Name}
    
    $VMFolder = "MyFolder"
    $ESXHost = Get-VMHost -Location $dc | select -First 1
    foreach($Datastore in $dsindatacenter) {
        # Collect .vmx paths of registered VMs on the datastore     $registered = @{}
        Get-VM -Datastore $Datastore | %{$_.Extensiondata.LayoutEx.File | where {$_.Name -like "*.vmx"} | %{$registered.Add($_.Name,$true)}}
    
       # Set up Search for .VMX Files in Datastore    New-PSDrive -Name TgtDS -Location $Datastore -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\' | Out-Null    $unregistered = @(Get-ChildItem -Path TgtDS: -Recurse |         where {$_.FolderPath -notmatch ".snapshot" -and $_.Name -like "*.vmx" -and !$registered.ContainsKey($_.Name)})
        Remove-PSDrive -Name TgtDS
       #Register all .vmx Files as VMs on the datastore   foreach($VMXFile in $unregistered) {
            New-VM -VMFilePath $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder |
            Set-VM -Name ("Auto-" + $_.Name)
       }
    }
    

    Unregistered virtual machines will be saved with Displayname that is present in the VMX file.

    If this would cause a conflict with VM already registered, you can use the Name of the cmdlet New-VM parameter

  • List of the files in the dir with the common name [JS] folder?

    I'm probably getting on the nerves of the everybodies now - and I know I should try harder to convince my boss to let me "Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript" - by my Savior on several occasions Peter Kahrel. I know, I know.

    I only snapped Applescript (roughly), now I have to go cross-platform, and I'm a JS noob.

    All that being said... I can't try to file requests that all start with the same 8 digit number in a specific folder.

    In Applescript, I was able to use:

    the value servergraphics to (name of every file in the graphicpath folder whose name starts with adCID) as a list

    This has created a list of graphic files that I can match against.

    Now, I have tried every way I can think to duplicate this line in JS - nothing works.

    Should I declare an array that contains the calculation?

  • How to get a list of all files/folders on the Sansa Clip +.

    Hello

    I have a lot of MP3s on my Clip +, but realize that I put there duplicates in different folders. My plan was to use a command prompt to get a list of all the files on the device, and then use a utility that shows me duplicate names and the locations of the files. I could then simply delete the Clip +.

    The problem, it is that the Clip + is simply presented as a 'portable' in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 Home) - there is no way to assign a drive letter :-( Which seems a bit odd, as it is, after all, plugged into one of my USB ports... I used the dir command on all drives assigned in my computer as "devices with removable storage". One of them must be the port to which the Clip + is attached, but they all say "device is not ready". So the Clip + is not identified in this way.

    Is it possible at all to get a list of the files that are on the Clip +?

    Thank you!

    That's how the Clip + shows when connected in USB MTP mode.  If you connect mode MSC (defined in the control panel), Clip + comes as a disk.

    But: the problem you have is, Windows displays only the files that have been transferred in the Clip + under USB mode then logged in as.  I don't know if this applies to designated offices, but - you could try and see.

    Another solution would be to copy all of your files on your computer, under MTP mode; Delete the files on the Clip +. move the Clip + mode MSC; and then transfer the files to the Clip +.  Now, you should be able to see the files under Windows (always connected in MSC mode) and can run the utilities that you had planned.

    I hope this helps.

  • Search won't work no-index reconstruction ends with "1 file indexed."

    Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade edition is installed with a clean install. Indexed search does not work for me at all (except, strangely, menu start)

    My video library, for example, consists of two files, one on a non-system partition on an external drive; music library - a folder on the external drive. Documents - on a non-system partition.

    All of these files are checked in the control panel of indexing options, but the research never works. UAC is disabled.

    What I tried:

    • rebuilt the index a dozen times. It hangs a little (Meanwhile the \Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\Indexer\CiFiles folder disappears) then indicates "Indexing" and immediately "indexing is complete. 1 indexed file. The folder appears again.
    • checked that all files extensions are archived in the same options menu. They are.
    • checked, that all necessary records are marked. They are (tried to remove them from the list, then adding again - same result)
    • enabled and disabled the indexing of encrypted files
    • check that the Windows Search service is enabled in services.msc (is)
    • verified that both disks have the possibility to check "enable the content of the files to be indexed" (they do it)
    • do you have automatic troubleshooting (no problem found)
    • index moved from system to system partition expressions

    Strangely, search in the start menu and search in unindexed locations work very well.

    Help?

    Update: I did index files by disabling the "allow files to be indexed content" in each of the properties of the files. But it's weird for several reasons:

    • in the advanced indexing options 'mp3' is defined to only index the properties; still, it would not be indexed until I did what I did with the file
    • I can understand why she would not index media files (codecs, etcetcetc), but why not index content 'doc '? (which are set to be indexed, but situation is the same with mp3)
    • So my second question is: how the _ made this content index actually work? I heard a lot of different search engines for each type of file. It has to do with the fact that I do not use Windows Media Player and all media is associated with other players? (MPC and Winamp). It goes the same for Office: I use 2010 beta

    Update 2: the solution above didn't work as I thought that this was the case. This 16005 only one way (off 16013, but that might be cause of system / hidden) Documents, files have been indexed and so find only there working. In addition, after that I tried to rebuild the index - he returned to 0 files (1 file excluded because I found that the only file that had always been indexed is a reminder (which btw shouldn't be cause there is no sticky notes created on this system, but the counter from 1 to 0 changes exactly after deactivation of Post-it notes. what ____?)). Then I ENABLED "content index" for the Documents folder - and he re-indexed to 16005 files (with no real content search either). Music still wouldn't index, as well as videos.

    Update 3: I just did a little experiment: created a new folder and put a video, an mp3 player and a doc there selected for indexing. Initially he indexed all 3 files (although it would not search in the contents of the doc, but oh well, who cares), but after I clicked on "rebuild" he returned to zero and stayed there, saying finished indexing.

    This issue has actually led me to a solution. It seems that indexing has been broken because of many anti-virus self-protection. In my case the problem has been resolved by updating of Dr.Web 5.00 to 6.00 (Note: the monitor kenrel, unlike other executable files, for some odd reason is never former; you must completely reinstall all anti-virus using the last distribution)

  • Why made a small mistake on a VMX file such a pain?

    It is more a question for the developers and maybe the experts.  But why, when you make a small mistake when you change a VMX file, uploading it to the location of theVM data store, it backs up, starting then kicked with an error that gives an error stack then causes the virtual machine to do this:

    esxi.png

    It seems stupid.  If I can reup the VMX corrected, you still cannot recover.  There should be some sort of refresh button, so it scans the directory and the VMX still once, realize the mistake has been corrected and then giving access to the virtual machine again.

    Only one I found today to fix this, is to click with the right button on the invalid VM in the inventory list, remove the inventory.  Go to the data store and the record of the location of the virtual machine.  Right-click on the corrected VMX file and say "Add to inventory" and follow the instructions in the wizard.

    Why that is so long winded?  What is the problem with my original suggestion to just a refresh button.  Who will be rescan him previously failed VMX file, then find there now and allowing access to the power on the virtual machine again.

    Seems strange.

    Two error put today

    isolation.tools.guestInitiatedUpgrade.disable = "FALSE".

    In the VMX file twice.

    Then second mistake (in order to correct the error, just so that I could make a guide for fixing work) was forget to replace the quotes "when they are copied from a Web site, it uses different stylized quotes that don't like VMware.

    Tiny errors, but how long breath to get the virtual dos machine.

    Why not just use the vSphere Client to make these. VMX changes. Property editor of virtual machine-> tab Options-> general in the left pane-> button Configuration settings. Add the values y and no more manual. VMX edits.

  • What is the problem with my files, they don't move, copy or delete? #@?!!

    ..... It is not as easy as you think, either! I am not a novice, but I can't understand how to solve this problem! If I try to move the copy or rename them, Windows XP said 'Impossible. Access denied. Even the disk is not full or write protected and the file is not in use."  Well NO, the hard disk is NOT write protected and far from complete.  No other files in "My Documents", or if otherwise, give me problems. In addition, the files themselves are not protected in writing! They don't have ANY special attributes (IE. 'Read only' and 'Hidden' are NOT defined). Needless to say, I did not define all attributes on them myself, they are not in a shared folder, and I am the administrator of my own computer. When I restarted the computer the next day, it changes nothing! The problem with these particular files remained!

    I was able to move, rename, or delete only with UNLOCKER. But it's not my problem. My problem is when I try to burn any program I use, burns keep in check the end and I keep losing DVD - R, one after the other! I understood the reason for the failures of engraving is because of this problem of reading / writing weird with the files!  WINDOWS XP created this write protect it somehow, because he wasn't on the original files! However, this limited access status is invisible! There is no set special attributes on these files!

    They are just media files, I downloaded, as well as text files (FIVE files different, slightly different formats, ALL from different sources!). They have been downloaded to FIVE different subfolders created in 'My Documents'. And it's not just the affected media files. It's all the files that are in the same folders (ie. txt, jpg) (even if I can at least open the jpg, while I can't read multimedia files).  I've never had this problem with any other similar files downloaded in the same folder. These files are NOT protected by copyright, OR infected by viruses, AND I do not have the virus on my system. (I stopped Kaspersky, my virus program, but it made no difference. "So there was no lock file). Yet, I can play is no longer the files (so that I could before the etc..). VLC says "cannot open the file", WMP says similar. I created a new folder in My Documents, moved to the new folder with UNLOCKER, it made no difference! Same problem! Even using UNLOCKER to transfer them to the desktop, not in any folder in itself does not change a thing! Here is another beauty: software "UnlockIT" says "the file is not locked by any conducted!

    Hello world

    I just bought a 8 GB Clip + to replace an old Creative Zen. I don't sync most of my music to the player last night no problem at all, but the audio seems to be another issue...

    I updated the drive with the latest firmware and tried to copy the files to the Clip + mode MTP and MSC, as well as with the latest version of Windows Media Player - the problem is that .aa files do not appear at all in the folder of audiobooks on the drive or appear as "unknown". The Clip refuses to read the file 'unknown' and shows a duration of 0.00.00 - oddly enough, if you check the news of track for the file, he referred to corrrectly an audible file with the title and the time everything is OK.

    Extremely frustrating as one of the main selling points for me the Clip + was alleged compatibility with files sound then I would be really grateful if anyone can someone offer advice as to the cause of the problem - I know someone else had a similar problem when you use a Mac (see this thread)

    http://forums.SanDisk.com/Sansa/board/message?board.ID=ClipPlus&message.ID=823&query.ID=50730#M823

    but I'm on Windows 7 at home and had no better luck using my PC to work that is running Windows XP.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    With the latest versions of firmware, the Clip + and Fuze will work with the files in the Audible Format 4 or Enhanced (.aa or .aax) format.  Check your client Audible (Audible Manager) to the selected format.  If the files are of size 3 or less, this could be your problem.

    Do you use the Audible Manager or Windows Media Player to transfer the files to the Clip +?  The Manager works best.  Do not forget that the Clip + has been authorized using the Manager.
