Orphaned files of vocation.  How to?

We have a VM Linux who, for various reasons, have multiple iSCSI disks added and removed as a raw device mapped drives.  I now have a bunch of files * rdmp.vmdk which is no longer exist, but have problems with vMotion because of them.  Can I just delete the file?  I need to change a configuration file or a guest first stop?

Thank you

Anand

These files are simple "proxy" for the RDM disks.

You can delete them without problem (if no VM is their use).

  • orphaned files in a saved Briefcase

    How can I update the orphaned files in the Briefcase of vista on my laptop hard drive? I need to keep these files because they are all my photos. Am running vista & not tech talk savvy. My drinking drive is a usb kensington with ceedo on it. Thank you

    Hello

    If the files are actually orphans that the only hope to recover would be to make some sort of data recovery using 3 third party software.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    There is a Microsoft article that treats the orphaned files and that you can do to attempt to recover: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457122.aspx

    I suggest you consult a service of recovery of the aid.

    Hello, eaalvare-

    This value is in bytes, you can simply divide by "1 GB" to convert to GB.  The original line

    $row.Size = $fileResult.FileSize  ## the value in bytes
    

    becomes

    ## give the value in GB, rounded to one (1) decimal point$row.Size =[Math]::Round(($fileResult.FileSize / 1GB), 1)
    

    I added the [Math]: Round() call it round to one decimal place.  Enjoy

  • Cannot remove orphaned files

    If you know how this works and it should be simple. I ran check all links to the site. I pointed out the orphaned files on the Link Checker tab. There are many of them - plus 6 000. I want to delete these files. I select them all and press the button Delete, nothing happens. I select a bit and try the same thing. I try with both buttons remove and cmd-delete (which works in the Mac Finder). I even try to check to see if there is a delete option under the right button of the mouse.  Still nothing. (unless somehow, these files are deleted invisible but always appear on the list?) Shouldn't the name of the file disappear from the list when they are deleted?) I checked my keyboard and the delete button works.  Any ideas what is happening? Any other method can I use to remove these files?

    I suggest you re-create your cache.

    You will find in the menus at the top.

    -TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service

    -DNS Client

    -Function Discovery Resource Publication

    -SSDP Discovery

    -UPnP device host

    To start the service and set it to automatic, follow these steps:

  • I received a file winmail DAT - how to open it?

    I received a file winmail DAT - how to open it.

    I do not know.  I do not have a file association for. DAT files (Start / Control Panel / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program / analysis then list for.) (DAT).  I guess you have not either.  Your best bet is to communicate with the person who sent you the file and find out which program was used to create it-then maybe you can get the program or to find a drive for this program.  Good places to watch once you know the program are www.tucows.com and www.download.com.  Here for example is an option for some .dat to open the files that may or may not work with your (given the MANY programs produce and, even once, you need to know what program the file): http://www.winmaildat.com/ (since you say it's a winmail.dat file I hope that this link could actually work).  If it's not, and if you find the name of the program that generated the file, we can help you find something to use to play with - but we need this name (and version number).

    Good luck and I hope this has helped. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    1. If it is the domain controller, you cannot change the name of the computer by selecting network ID and this is normal.
    2. If it is a member of the computer in domain or workgroup, you don't have permission to change the name of the computer.

    I keep asking myself for permission to copy the files, etc.  How can I turn this off?

    Hi Kasggr,

    You are be prompted for approval because of her User Account Control (UAC) and it is not wise to turn off UAC.

    User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows that can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. This UAC asking your permission or an administrator password before performing actions that may affect the operation of your computer, or that change settings that affect other users

    By verifying these actions until they start, UAC can help prevent malicious software (malware) and spyware from installing or making changes to your computer without permission.
