Orphaned comments VmWare Workstation

I am using Vm Workstation 7.1.3 build-324285.  My host OS is Windows Vista Business 64-bit.  I scheduled the start of a Guest VmWorkstation using the command as follows:

At 06:00 "C:\Users\Kirk\vm_win_xp_pro.bat" the bat file contains:

**********************************************************************

CD "c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware workstation.

beginning vmrun "C:\Vmware\Windows XP Professional\Windows XP Professional.vmx"

**********************************************************************

If I login with my user id with administrator rights in the Vista host and run the list vmrun command I get the following:

###################################################

C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware workstation > list vmrun

Total of running virtual machines: 0

###################################################

I used the Task Manager and I can see the process of running virtual machine.

I created a batch file with the following content:

**********************************************************************

CD "c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware workstation.

vmrun list > > k_bat.log

**********************************************************************

The output of the k_bat.log is as follows:

###################################################

Total of running virtual machines: 1

C:\Vmware\ Windows XP Professional\Windows XP Professional.vmx

###################################################

Is there a way to connect in this comment that was started, or is it inaccessible?

How can I plan the beginning of the prompt of the workstation and be able to use it when I login to Windows Vista Business host?

Thanks in advance.  Kirk

If you did not previously configure the VM to be accessible via RDP, then the only solution I see is to suspend or stop the virtual machine and start normally or from a shortcut in the users folder.

Because you started the virtual machine by using the command and he proceeded is owned by the SYSTEM, you will need to create another NT command Script (or modify the one you have) with the vmrun suspend or stop command, I would use suspend, and then plan with AT for a minute or two later and let it do its thing.  Once suspended or stop then you should be able to reboot normally.

With nothing else preconfigured to interact with the virtual machine, you're only other option would be to restart or kill the process vmware - vmx.exe and vmware.exe owned by SYSTEM however you may cause damage to the virtual hard disk, that.

  • Windows 10 no internet comments on VMWare Workstation 10 and 11

    Hello

    I have a Windows 10 comments on my Web host pro 8.1.

    With one of the latest updates of windows 10 (guest), there is no internet available.

    My other guests (< w10) - all filled as well - work very well.

    Hoping to solve, I have improved my VMWare Workstation 10 to 11, but it did not help.

    Still no internet connection.

    (VMWare Tools are up to date)

    The Device Manager in my windows 10 guest shows as network < Intel(r) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection > adapter without error.

    It is the only listed network adapter.

    Switching to NAT does not work as well.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    In my windows 10 guest, I removed the Intel network card in the Device Manager and rebooted.

    The same adapter has been reinstalled, but since I still have internet connection.

  • Poor performance in VMWare Workstation 10 comments VM, score on memory Windows experience index is low

    Specification of the host is A10-5800 AMD CPU & 8 GB DDR3 - 1600 RAM(dual-channel), running VMware workstation 10 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1. WEI (Windows experience index) score on memory is 7.3.

    Comments is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1. VMware tool has been installed. The WEI score on memory is only 4.5. I can feel the difference when you work in the guest, because of the bad performance RAM problem.

    Some way to optimize the performance of comments?

    Can I assume that the customer has more than 960 MB and less than 1.5 GB of memory?  The more possible memory under-score with less than 1.5 GB memory is 4.5.

  • 2.04 Ubuntu comments on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7 can't see ext4 USB drive

    Comments from 2.04 Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7: on computer A trivially, I connected to an out-of-the-box 64 GB USB drive formatted for VFAT on Ubuntu in a VM. I re-init'ed the player for ext4 (mkfs.ext4), mounted, drop a bunch of stuff on him (which took awhile), he dismounted and walked away. The next day, identically configured computer B, I inserted the USB key. Natch, Win7 may not go up because it does not ext4. But Ubuntu don't see either, so I can't be installed. Do not see under removable devices, no small icon bottom left of the screen of VMware, nothing in the settings menus or properties, etc. I think it's just me being a noob to VMware, but it seems that Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 9 cannot see the drive unless Win7 can go up. Seems unlikely. KB searching, Googling, etc. produce many unrelated things. Ideas? AdvTHANKSance.

    Here is the final answer: works great on an earlier version of VMware Workstation 9 on one of the Windows 7 of my client machines, it didn't work on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to VMware Workstation 10 on my Windows 7 computer, and now it works perfectly. If I call you this a bug in this version later 9 which was set at 10. Could also be had I simply uninstalled 9 and reinstalled which would have fixed it too. But I'll never know.

  • Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

    Hello

    I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

    I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

    Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

    This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

    My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

  • Win XP host gets restart everything install Windows 8 comments in VMWare Workstation 9.01

    Hello

    I have a machine that running Windows XP SP3 with 2 GB (DDRII) of RAM with Intel Core 2 E7400 2.80 GHz processor. I want to test Winodws 8 before you install on this machine. I have download and install VMWare Workstation 9.01. Then I rebooted my system and went into my BIOS and put the "No.-Execute memory Protection" 'Activate' and the system boots. Now when I try to install Windows 8 in the VMWare machine, which I set up for the OS, just like the VMWare logo screen with the F2 and F12 options my whole system restarts.  Someone at - he meets this type of problem?


    AnthonyL25

    I think that if the goal here it to test Windows 8 then I uninstall VMware Workstation 9 and try VirtualBox and see if this causes the same question.  Another thing you can do is give it a try on your host using Memtest86RAM, or similar, to make sure that's not a problem with bad RAM to a greater address then you normal would not not a VM running.   If RAM tests OK and works of VirtualBox, you can always try an earlier version of VMware Workstation, but I think not v7 supports Windows 8 as a guest.  I've used VirtualBox for Windows 8, and it worked very well!

  • ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

    Hello

    I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

    I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

    Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

    Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

    During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

    Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

    Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

    It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

    I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

    However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

    Paul

    You're out of luck.

    You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

    Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

  • VMWare Workstation 12 and 18 of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 16.04) and vmware tools or open-vmware-tools

    I created a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 12.1.1 build-3770994 with a guest OS from Linux Mint 18 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04). I have two monitors on my system, the two 2560 x 1440. I am unable to get this virtual machine Linux Mint 18 to cover all of my two monitors when I disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my vm settings, I get an error. I have another Linux Mint 17 VM running on the same VMWare Workstation 12 on the same host machine from Windows 10 and it is able to expand on my two monitors very well with "Accelerate 3D graphics" disabled, but he does not open-vmware-tools.

    I have read instructions telling me to install open-vm-Tools-Office in this guest operating system of Linux Mint 18. I did it. Then I restart the guest operating system. When starting, I can click on 'Enter full screen mode' in my menu of VMWare Workstation, and the guest OS has a monitor as expected. When I then click on "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the following error. "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected screen layout. If you add a monitor to the host computer, you must turn off and turn on the virtual machine to use this monitor. »

    In my vmware.log, I get these two lines that occur when I get the above error.

    When I activate "Accelerate 3D graphics" with the configuration described above, I am able to use both of my monitors. Why is this the case?

    I think remember having to disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my Linux Mint 17 comments vm because it would crash randomly. I try to run this VM Linux Mint 18 with 3D acceleration and see if it crashes, but why is there a difference with spanning multiple monitors?

    Thank you.

    I didn't experience this problem for a few weeks. I don't have a definitive answer to my original problem.

    I installed Mate instead of cinnamon 3 to my MINT 18. Then, I created a new VM with Ubuntu Gnome 3 16.04 running as the OF. I did have problems with both approaches. I also tried using Firefox as my main browser instead of Chrome, as I read that Chrome can have problems of memory. It could be a combination of several of these changes that have allowed me to work without problems.

    Knowing what I know now, I think the move away from cinnamon 3 is what seems to have fixed my problems. I can certainly say that you use Firefox consumes less memory, as I can monitor the monitor system under Ubuntu. Chrome would eventually eat all my system memory, that I could see. The extent of the why? I'm not sure at this point.

  • VMware Workstation 12 Pro - mouse stops working

    I have VMware Workstation Pro 12.  I used it for weeks without problem.  Suddenly the mouse will stop working on a virtual computer.  This happens while the guest is initialized and running.  I click on another window and click back, and the mouse does not work in the comments.  This happens in all guests, regardless of the operating system.  The only way to solve this problem is to restart the host.  Then I can use the guests still once for 15-20 minutes until the problem reoccur.

    This problem has been resolved.  Once I realized that the problem was related to all audio, I was able to narrow the search down to VMware Workstation, audio, and the click of the mouse.

    This is another article here that describes the problem.

    We produce updates for release until its date of "end of support".  A product may not work properly with host OSes, processors or comments OSes that are not compatible with the product, especially the things that have been published after the date of "end of support".  We put a huge amount of effort to ensure that new hardware and operating systems works with each new major release of VMware Workstation, but we cannot go back and update any previous version of product to add support for all hardware and operating systems more recent.  If we tried to do this, VMware Workstation cost much more that it is today, simply because of the amount of work required to maintain!

    You need to upgrade your installation of VMware Workstation to something more recent, or downgrade your host operating system to a version compatible with VMware Workstation 6.5.

    I hope this helps!
