• How to change the computer name of existing desktop computers linked clone pool?

  Hello

  I'm curious about something that has developed in our Organization.  New guidelines came down and we have to change the name of the computer for all of our offices to meet the new criteria.

  I have many of our users is on the offices of Linked-Clone (automated pool, dedicated, assignment see 5.1) which will have their names have been changed.  I use a 'model' for the name of the computer.

  I tried this before by simply change the settings of the pool, and then recompose the pool.  Recompose worked well, but NONE of the virtual machine names have been changed.  All machines, recomposed just fine, but keep the old name of the computer (non-compliant).

  How can I change the name of the computer of my clone in an existing pool offices?  Maybe I have something wrong.  I'm doing it instead of having to create a new pool and move the persistent disks.  I would like to change the name in the settings of the pool and recompose, but it did not work.

  Scenario:
  See 5.1

  Automated cloning related pool

  Assignment of dedicated (persistent disks)

  Thanks in advance

  It is not possible to change the name of existing workstations by modifying the settings of the pool. There is no way to make this happen automatically and in doing so manually would not seen happy.

  Unfortunately, for dedicated pools, you will have more work to do. If you do not use Persona you detach the persistent disks and recreate virtual machines in the pool with this disk to create a new virtual machine with a new name to be generated.

  If you use Persona you could remove all virtual machines and have Persona to extract profile data down to the virtual machine that would be entitled to the user when they connect then. This will cause all user installed programs go, but I hope that's not common if you are already using linked clones.

• Problems with. OST file and view 5.0 Linked Clones

  Hello world

  I have a 5.0 view installation in my environment and am currently using only dedicated related clones. I use management Persona to display instead of disks, persistent and plan to stick with this configuration. The problem I see with the few users we currently using pools, is that sometimes (and I don't know immediately the cause) when the user opens their Outlook 2010, they get a message from outlook using an older version of their. OST file and they should remove the current on and outlook it will rebuild at the next opening. We redirect the AppData folder to their character in the hope that the mail will stay with them through the log offs, restarts, redials, etc.. Everything in this aspect seems to work except in those circumstances where it appears that the. OST file is broken.

  Y at - it an idea what could be causing this or another way to put in place to make it work? Thanks for your suggestions.esx

  We had this same problem.  The conclusion we came to was that when the. OST file is large, view Persona management cannot move this file down from the server of persona in computer display to the user in a timely.  Outlook has finally times out waiting for the file to copy and gives you the error.  The solution arrived at was to use Microsoft Folder redirection for these records.  This gives users instant access to their OST files and fixed the problem of the copy of the data.  What we did was to create a new action on the character called roaming server containing these data roaming.  It takes no less or no matter what more space than persona management and provides the same utility without interrupting the other actions ensuring the management of the persona. Adm files already exist on your server to connect to C:\Program View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles from VMware and I have attached a copy of what looks like one of our GPO.

• View of VM, linked Clones and Thinapp to a group of users?

  In our configuration of the display, I have a pool of 80 people, some users have asked MS Visio.

  I created a package of visio and wanted to deploy to a group of users, but I can only assign to a pool.

  Is it possible so I can assign MS Visio only to a certain (AD) Group of people without having to create an additional pool?

  For another application, I use the security feature in the application thinapped, which do not allow users to start the program and again reports an error message. It does not work with visio propperly: a user with visio can open files visio very well with the editor, a user without visio should get the (internet Explorer) visio Viewer, but the application is launched instead (which restores the safety message and the user cannot view the visio file).

  In theory if you added it to a pool only people within the security group would be able to access.   You can also use a login script register which means that it could only be saved for those who can visit his profile.    See the link below for example sript login.

• Best way to rebalance local drives with linked clones?

  Hello

  • 5.2 seen running, looking to update soon.
  • We use local storage (FusionIO).
  • Each pool is distributed over 4 servers running these local storage.
  • Our related clones are not persistent - users do not get a specific office, and workstations are deleted on logout.

  So, I want to patch servers.

  My thought on this is:

  1. Edit the pool to remove local storage on the server to be patched.
  2. Rebalance.
  3. Perform the update (mode maintenance, blah blah blah).

  So the rebalance operation is having limited success in my first try

  I am aware of that: VMware View 5.2 Documentation Library : you cannot balance the load of the virtual machines on a pool of resources. For example, does not allow the operation of rebalancing View Composer with linked clones that are stored in local warehouses of data.

  So I can't rebalance (first of all, I'm not sure why? In my case, cannot not machines just be deleted and recreated elsewhere - whereas a rebalancing is also a refresh anyway)?

  What is the best approach?

  • I need to make desktop computers available to local specific server storage exist anymore (once there are multiple sources available on another server storage) so that users don't connect/don't have not logged when I do the maintenance.
  • I need to make sure that desktop computers connected to local specific server storage are removed on logout (as usual) and does not get recreated on this storage again.

  Of course, when the server comes back to the top, I need to reverse the process and get the desktop on it and maintain a balance between other servers.

  Any advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Rebalancing is not a simple delete and action of re - create. Even the workstations are not persistent, there are persistent records associated with it. as (internal drive)

  These door data as approval of the membership of domain and all. Therefore, without a shared, preserving data store and the migration of this internal drive are impossible (and prevented).

  Now for you case, because she is floating desktop computers (non - persistent).

  1. Deselect the host data store to be corrected by changing the pool.
  2. Logoff of active sessions (if any) for VMS specific / put the virtual machine in maintenance mode.
  3. Delete these specific through VMs * Administrator display inventory pool *.
  4. Configure back the technical provision of data after having patched host store,
  5. And then increase the size of the pool the desired number

• Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

  I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

  However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

  It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

  I updated the OS to Win 8.1

  The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

  I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

  There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

  After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

  It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

  It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
  -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
  -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

  I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
  (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
  (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
  (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

  At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

  Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

  I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

  You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

  Suggestions please?

  Hello

  I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
  Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
  http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

  You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
  But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

  So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

  I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

  In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

  How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

  ....

  My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

  At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

  mountvol D:\/d

  Close the command prompt.

  Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

  Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

  

• "Querying volume for available shrink space" does not

  I tried to create an empty partition on my 500 GB drive C (which I still have more than 350 GB free) to be able to dual boot another OS next to my already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, but I encountered a problem from the beginning. While trying to shrink the space on drive C for the partition, the computer management hangs on 'Volume mark for available shrink space' for about a minute, and then said computer management "not responding". I have retried several times, and I still have the same result. I tried running "sfc/scannow" as administrator CMD, but there is no problems found. Afterwards, I checked errors on drive C, but the result is always the same. I don't know how to go further with this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  Here are a few options:

  • Use a third-party disk manager, or a commercial (e.g. Acronis DiskDirector) or one that is free.
  • Use diskpart.exe in a command prompt if you are comfortable to work at this level. It might give you a more explicit feedback. Here is what you would see:

• DEALLOCATE UNUSED and SHRINK SPACE

  Hello
  What is the difference between the effect of DEALLOCATE UNUSED and SHRINK the SPACE?

  The SQL reference for 10.2 manual...

  deallocate_unused_clause

  Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly release the unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, segment overflow data, segment of LOB data and LOB index and make space available for other segments in the tablespace.

  shrink_clause

  The retraction clause allows manually shrink the space in a table, table arranged according to index or its overflow segment, index, partition, subpartition, LOB segment, materialized view, or newspaper materialized view. This clause is valid only for the segments in the tablespaces with automatic segment management. By default, Oracle database compact segment, adjusts the HWM and frees the space recovered immediately.

  Compaction of the segment requires the movement of the line. Therefore, you must enable the movement of line for the object you want to cut before you specify this clause. In addition, if your application contains the rowid-based triggers, you must disable them before issuing this clause.

  Or condense the above:

  DEALLOCATE - simply releases unused space at the end of the segment; don't move not any data

  Shrink - shrink space in a segment - requires line movement.

• Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

  HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

  I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

  Hello

  Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

  It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

  But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

  A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

  Thank you

  I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

  If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

  It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

  Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

  Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

  I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

• Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

  The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

  Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

  If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

• Change the drive letter of the Partition Recovery

  After previous bad experiences in trying to separate the data files program, I took the habit on my previous computer under Windows to create another partition on my hard drive to store the data files. Out of habit I still do on my desktop PC with Windows XP (great program) rather than use the My Documents folder.

  I want to do the same thing on my new DV6-3142, I use to work and create a separate partition for my data files. I understand how to create a new partition on the HDD and reassign the drive letters for the existing partitions, but I want to use the letter D for her. However, it is the letter of the drive that is used for the recovery partition.

  Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition to, say R without affecting the operation of the recovery process, or should I leave as D for the recovery of the system to work properly that I should never need her?

  Hello:

  You leave the name of the recovery partition and drive letter unchanged and your C drive: of the same name.

  If you change these, when you press the F11 key to start the recovery process, the program know what to do.

  I am a firm believer of it also have a set of factory recovery disks. For me, it is worth less than the investment of $20.  If your HARD drive fails after the warranty period, (or if you want to upgrade your HARD drive), your recovery partition doesn't help anyway.
