  Yesterday, a coleague attempted to access its virtual machine, via the client view, leave has been a success, but a message on the service logon failure appeared.

• With VMware View can use persistent disks and roaming profiles together

  Site already has XP roaming profiles configuration and are again VDI Win7 so new profiles (username.v2) will be created anyway. However, I want to continue to use roaming profiles, hosted on a server so that the data is replicated and backed up. (redundant solutions already in place) Initially while we configure persistent discs and the VDI will be not synchronize with the roaming profile on D:\   I confirmed that my roaming profiles work very well on a physical system running Win7, but problems with the VDI. I was wondering if I can get them in sync in the current configuration, or if I should scrap the drive persistent in a way that the data will be all stay and synchronize on roaming profile constantly even if I refresh or update my Golden VDI image?

  Hi, welcome in the community

  If you want to use your existing installation of roaming profile, then the best option is do not use "persistent" disk configuration Redirect to drive persistent static and it brings the use of extra storage.

  While commissioning a desk with persistent disk pool, view and changes the path of the user in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Profile profile list to the D drive.  This may conflict with your roaming profile configuration. To confirm that, in the physical machine, change string values "Default", 'Profile directory' and 'Public' in the list of profiles registry which refers to a new path.

  > If I should scrap the persistent drive in a way that the data will be all remain and synchronize with roaming profile constantly even if I refresh or update my Golden VDI image?

  Yes, it could be a convenient option for you. Deploy pools dedicated without redirection of the user's data

  Available disk options cannot be set during the installation of the pool.  If you have an existing pool that has not activated it then I think you need to create a new pool.

• XPS One 2710 - Win8 reinstall disk question

  Hello. I received a disk with my 2710 XPS that says it's OS "Already installed on your computer" Dell - W8 64 bit recovery media...

  On the flap of the paper for adults is what I thought to be the license key to reinstall the win8. However, when I popped this disc in another computer win7 and booted from it, I offered to install win8 and asked to enter key which is 5 x 5 digits. But key printed on the envelope of the disc isn't this format at all - it xx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx format, only the third section has five entries.

  Now the area where you meant to enter the key, he said do not enter the dashes between the sections, that they will be registered automatically... and the results is that it divides my 'key' in different places, that what is printed on the disc for Adults (envelope) and anyway I have not 5 x 5 is 25 digits to enter. What gives?

  I'm worried that if my Dell XPS 2710 must be reinstalled fresh win8, I would be stuck with that. And a related question, am I allowed to a PC only, or more than one? I guess it comes to OEM disc and I hear OEM disks allow more than one PC to be installed and activated, good or bad? How will I know?

  I looked in the settings of win8 and in computer properties I can see product ID and check if windows is activated (on) I see that the last five letters of the key. I note that I am not the first owner of the computer and I don't know if there wasn't a tag attached with the key. In any case, I don't see any this label.

  Hi vanDivX,

  Welcome to the Dell Community!

  Product key of Windows 8 for your XPS 2710 system previously injected on the motherboard. So, while the reinstallation of Windows 8 on this system, you will not be prompted to enter a product key. Windows automatically identifies the product key on the motherboard.

  See the following link for more information about the Windows 8 product key: http://dell.to/1c1Kzwt

  If you want to install Windows 8 on another computer, you will need to buy a different product key for it. If you have two Dell systems with the same version of operating system installed, then an OEM disc will work on both computers.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

• Recomposition of desktop clears the user setting when you use persistent disks

  I'm in test phase of VMWare View, and I created my server administrator display and a server of composer. I was able to create jobs with the composer. Assignment of a user on the desktop and user can connect through the Client view. When the user logs on, they get a C: (Local disk) drive, drive D: (PersistentDataDisk) and a drive E: (SystemDisposableDisk). The user can create shortcuts and install their profiles of Lotus Notes and everything works great. The user can disconnect and reconnect and stay all settings. If I recompose the office by changing the initial snapshot used to create the office and place it on the office compound it clears all the settings of the user.

  I want to know if this is normal behavior or if the settings of users should be "replication" to the PersistentDataDisk and reloaded when the user connects again. I want to be able to have users customize their desk tops and others for their taste but have the ability to add modifications to the software via the Redial feature.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Josh

  A persistent record of the composer view should not be affected by a restructuring or a refresh operation.    Have you checked that the profile is being created on the disk D:\ sucesfully?    I remember problems in the past, if the user was connected to the image of the mother and then the profile remained on the C:\ drive instead of passing to D:\.

• persistent disk capacity has not increased

  Hello

  My quality of view office is almost at its maximum capacity, I wish to bring to 2 GB.

  I tried to change the size of the disc continued its pool to 20480 MB but no change. Office as persistent disc view is still 2 GB. I need to change my virtual disk of individual desktop view instance (linked clone) for persistent 20 GB disk and extend it with diskpart?

  Yes, the change will not take place on new desktop computers that are created.  For an existing desktop computer, you will need to update the persistent drive by modifying the virtual machine settings, increasing and then something using the to expand inside the BONE.

• Persistent disk

  Dear Sir

  Is it possible to Incrise and the size of drive persistent reduction with link clone in VM View 4.6

  First increase the disk with vSphere client.

  Then use the guest OS to extend the drive.

• Increase the persistent disk space

  Is it possible to increase the disk space to Link Clone dedicated without blow away the view desktop?  I've increased disk space persisted in the Admin of the view and all new desktop computers have increased space.

  I don't want to remove all workstations for the increase.

  Thank you.

  If they are updating on a redial you could always develop in the same way make you record of vSphere.  Simply increasing the disk through vCenter, then use diskpart or else to decompress.

• Resizing disk Question

  Hi all

  I have a small question which I'm sure will be an easy answer.  I just want to be sure before doing this.  I have a server Exchange (VM) I need to resize the C drive.  I need to reduce it 90 GB to 50 GB.  Is there something I need to be concerned or any problems?  I shrunk the partition in Windows server 2008 now I need to resize the disk in the VI client.  Any info is appreciated.  Thank you!

  Perry

  Sorry, not the version of the OS.  Yes, W2K8 has a tool for resizing for expansion and shrinkage.  I've never had the need to shrink, so I can't say for sure...

  I don't know what will happen by changing just the size of the HARD drive by changing the settings of the virtual machine.  I would say that if you have a test of the virtual machine, try it on this first.

• How to remove fasteners of the persistent disks that do not have a desktop computer?

  Hello community,

  We have a small problem in our society. We use VMware View 4.5 and really like it. Our office is based on Win7 and everything works really well. But for some Ford, we managed to create persistent discs attached... without a desktop computer?

  As you can see on the capture screen, desktop computers are used with persistent records. Five of them are assigned to a user, but do not have a desktop computer. Users can work, because they have a new drive persistens, created automatically. But the 'old' are now and can not be spare, cause her are not attached! But without disassembly, we cannot delete it. Just posted discs can be deleted... it's a doom loop

  So maybe someone has already had the same error? I mean... the files do not exist on our storage and users can work, there is no problem with this, but it seems that the database of the vmware view do not know, that the files have disappeared... is there a way to delete the entries in the database for this five-disc?

  We have tried to export (with the tool on the server) and re-imported, but it doesn't work, cause, you are not able to remove things when importing data backups... What can do us?

• PowerEdge R720 virtual disk question

  Hi, our company has bought a Dell PowerEdge R720. I tried to use the lifecycle controller in RAID configuration. At the start, it has 3 500 GB SAS HARD drive, but I ordered 2 x 320 GB additional SAS being what I intend to do it, use the 2 x 320 GB like OS install as RAID 1 and RAID 5 on the default 3 x 500 GB, but for some reason any, whenever I have configure RAID , either on the two 320 or 3 x 500 GB, it shows just a virtual disk, 2 x 320 GB or 500 GB x 3, I see not two for RAID 1 and RAID 5 virtual disks. Am I missing something here? or I have to perform an extra step?

  Kind regards

  Jeff

  Hello Jeff,.

  If you try to install the operating system through the lifecycle controller method. You must have the latest lifecycle controller OS driver pack installed in your system. For the latest driver pack OS, please download from our support http://support.dell.com/ site by entering you service number and download OS Driver pack drivers.

  You can update the OS driver pack thorugh iDRAC GUI or through the lifecycle controller GUI and once after the OS driver pack update. When you try to deploy the operating system through the life cycle of the controller, you will appear on the list of supported operating systems and you can select the operating system you want to install by mounting the image operating system or DVD media connected to the system.

  Please let me know if you have any question.

  Thanks, Neeraj
