Permissions applied to the Cluster or host to propagate to child virtual machines

If I ask a Cluster folder read-only permissions or a host (for a particular group of users) with the propagate to child objects enabled, when a new virtual machine is created within that folder, the user is able to do much more than R/O.

I know that we can create a VM (in a different vision) folder with the same R/O permissions, but that guarantee no new virtual machines will have this permission applied if these new virtual machines are not placed in a VM file at creation time.

It seems that on the new VM creation, the virtual machine is not inheriting the R/O permission in the folder/Cluster host. This is the expected behavior?

Thank you!

I believe that the more restrictive permissions apply. I don't have that backwards?

I should have been more descriptive.  If you have an ad group with say joe in this document, that the group is set to read only role and joe is in another group that has an administrator role, joe becomes and administrator.  If joe is added in as a user rather than a group, then the more restrictive role wins, so you are right.

  • The prevention of future host to spread from a virtual machine

    Been browsing the internet using the virtual computer for years but the available hardware is too old for this and now host to be used for navigation, with browser sandboxing or sandboxing system (freezer).

    If all the personal data is still encrypted in a virtual machine in the future and this virtual machine has no access to the internet, and the host gets infected or belonging to a hacker, how can we host infection can prevent from spreading to the virtual machine?

    Keylogger to a current computer hacker to run in the host a recording of what I type inside the virtual machine? And it's why steal the password typed to access encrypted truecrypt of personal data in the virtual machine?

    (1) well, if you are sure that your VM is not yet infected, I recommend you take backup of any virtual machine, or take a snapshot of the current state.

    Then, install any newer version of Antivirus (Avast, macaffe) programs.

    And if you are concerned about keyloggers on the host, connect a secondary keyboard directly to your comments. For more information, refer to this Article

  • Assessment of Windows has expired the vcenter - how to recreate in a new virtual machine?

    For reasons I won't go into detail, the Windows evaluation period has expired for a VM running vCenter server for a project I'm working on that.  They have the license key is not the media that they installed, so once they have the appropriate support, they will create a new virtual machine with the installation of operating system licensed correctly and install vCenter Server/MSDE on it from scratch (the same way the other VM was built).  What is the best way to get over as much information as possible from the old instance of vCenter?  (We can not do related modes because we cannot connect to the old VM more.)

    > Is there a good way to replicate this info from the old DB to new DB

    Well don't know if you want to say that Oracle or SQL.  If it is easy SQL, simply move the entire file *.dbf VC points currently on the new server of DB.  That's why I love SQL server, easy migration.

  • Page HOME of FOLDER permissions "apply to the included items.

    Hello.

    It is more a question of information - I was having a weird thing happen on my Mac - and I called Apple. My photo library save size was different from that on my hard drive. After another manual run of TM, it changed.

    Without hesitation, the first thing that Apple had owed me 'Get Info' on my home folder and change the permissions to 'Apply to joint of the elements' - it took a while.

    Subsequently, Time Machine indicated he had 139 + GB to save. My entire hard drive. A few hours later it's over. I have another drive in TM I don't NOT a back up before I noticed things that went wrong and what precedes has changed by Apple.

    Since then, and maybe this happened later, not sure about the timeline, whenever I open, edit a document Finder doesn't notice these different times. After reboot, Photos will tell in the Finder that the library has been opened and modifed at boot time.

    My problem/question is that gave me very bad advice to the "apply to joint points" at the level of my home folder (each data bit which is mine): I was not affected by the permission issues that were obvious to me. Everyone and everywhere I turn, I see and read that make is a very BAD idea.

    Now, engineering is looking at my things - but wonder if I have not passed the point of no return. I have my data on a disk with the flag is set to "ignore permissions" and uses iCloud photo library so if it is necessary to wipe and reload I don't have those things that I can count on.

    All wisdom is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to choose the host when you deploy a virtual machine template

    Good Morning-

    I feel that the answer to this is with myself; However, I would ask - I try to deploy a virtual machine model for test purposes and I want the virtual machine must be created on a specific host.  When I start the Wizard "deploy the virtual machine of model", I am only able to select the cluster and not a specific host.   Is it possible for me to be able to select the host to which the virtual machine will be deployed without disabling DRS?

    Thank you very much in advance for the help.

    Steve

    What happens if you right click on the host that you want to deploy on the virtual machine to and select deploy from model - but don't forget if you have a DRS activated with anything other that Manuel DRS will select the host on which the virtual machine starts on and it would not be that you deply to--

  • Allocate multiple cores of the only host for CPU on a virtual machine

    Hello

    You don't know if it is possible, but could find is not online.

    An application on my virtual machine uses only a carrot and I want to accelerate.

    Add more cores on this virtual machine is meaningless, to that effect, I would like to allocate multiple cores of the host that will act as a single core on the virtual machine.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you

    As already stated above, this is not possible, and you have two options:

    1 buy a new CPU with a clock higher;

    2. that your application works with multiple processors.

  • Help - automation of the ad groups in assigning roles for a virtual machine

    Hi all, I have this doubt.

    We are the migration of vSphere 4.1 and 5.1

    Not by update manager, but manually adding hosts an accumulation 5.1!

    Here's the thing, each virtual machine that will be imported/created/deployed to this new vCenter 5.1 will have a corresponding pre configuration of group by our admin guy!

    For — for example, if the virtual computer name is vm_0123, a group called "SVR_VM_0123" would be ready and waiting to be assigned to this specific virtual machine, and then to a role. And this permission will be set at the virtual machine level.

    And now, all the virtual machines that will be added to 4.1 and 5.1 have their configuration of groups!

    So can automate us the "attribution" permissions on each computer virtual imported/created (a role common to the respective groups) through PowerCLI?

    Questions or suggestions are welcome!

    Thank you

    I assume you have the virtual computer name in the variable $vmName, then you could do

    $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

    New-VIPermission-body $vm - main ("SVR_" + $vmName) - role $role

    You can place these lines in a loop.

    This could be for example a loop, controlled by the content of a CSV file.

    Something like that

    Import-Csv C:\vmnames.csv | %{

    $vm = get - VM - name _.vmName $

    New-VIPermission-body $vm - main ("SVR_" + $_.vmName)-role $_.role

    }

    This means that the CSV file should look like this

    "vmName"; "" role.

    "vm1', 'administrator '.

    "vm2', 'read only '.

  • Create Cluster after SAN is already filled with virtual machines

    Hello

    I have just joined a company that ESXi installed on a couple of data centers, they have invited running on these boxes already and use Fibre Channel SAN for data warehouses to store all the VMs on.

    Considering the virtual machines are powered and are run on the SAN is it possible to create a cluster in this data centre including all the boxes of ESXi and SAN, without data on the San be wiped?  I'm afraid that create the cluster can clear the LUN and start over.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community!

    If I understand your facility, you have vCenter in place and all the ESXi host is managed by vCenter.

    Now you want to create a cluster and add the host to the cluster, yes it is possible to add the host to the cluster without impact to the data store.

  • 2 VDR "impossible to create the snapshot for < system >, error-3960 (cannot suspend virtual machine).

  • Several ESXi hosts and need to share virtual machines

    I'm relatively new to ESXi (although a lot of vSphere, using iSCSI storage) and we are making a number of servers in remote site (with a proxy and utility VM to manage the file/print/dhcp) using ESXi. I have my VMs built on the first box and need to copy them off the coast to the other, but I have problems with the command ADD Storage... I can't seem to get the right information and I begin to think I'm missing something basic. Then...

    (1) can map you to the VMFS from another host esxi?

    (2) If you can, where do you find the location on the second machine information to set up the data store on the first machine?

    If it's important, we use Dell PE of the 1950s.

    Also, while I'm here...

    The size of a pain is to change the IP address or the name of the ESXi host area?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    VMFS is not supported on USB drives.

    You can use FastSCP for example, http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esxi-fastscp.html

    And Yes, there are several devices that could share storage attached to the network locally, but I don't see them as a solution when you want to just copy existing virtual machines to another host ESXi.

  • VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

    VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

    Where can I find these IT administration tools?  I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Glitch004,

    You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

    1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

    2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

    installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

    3 restart merger and you will find:

  • How to make for the Hyper-V role to run on a virtual machine in esx 5

    Hyper-V cannot be installed.

    the processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-v. to install the role of HRT, the processor must have a version support for hardware-assisted virtualization, and this feature must be enabled in the BIOS.

  • ESXI free Version host failure - how to recover virtual machines?

    Hi all

    I ran a VMWare lab at home with a free version of ESXI 4.1.

    My server does not and I have to reset all the settings management of ESXI and I lost my virtual machines.

    I solved the problem, but I lost the virtual machine.

    When I navigate through the data store I can see the virtual hard disk for my servers.

    Is there a way to recover these virtual machines?

    I guess that I'm not the first to ask this question, so if you could point me to any page with some instruction, it would be great.

    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  In each folder of the virtual machine, you should see a VMX file for the virtual machine.  This is the configuration file.  Right-click on it and select Add to the inventory.  Then follow the instructions of the wizard and after the virtual machine market.  If your network configuration is the same as previously, then you should be good to go.

  • Space in the store of data not released when a virtual machine is removed

    Hey all,.

    I have a game fairly simple up - two servers ESXi 2 Terminal servers. I'll have a problem, but with space in the store of data not be released on one of them after that I got a clone to the virtual machine, made my changes and removed the original. I can find no record anywhere, using vSphere (not in the inventory or when I browse the data store), but the HARD drive space using the server is still assigned somewhere.

    Any body have tips on where to find or how to fix this if it is indeed a problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
