Problems of establishing a virtual machine using Microsoft SCCM

Hello

I'm trying to deploy a virtual machine with Microsoft SCCM. It works very well - but only if I create the vm on the local disk on the esx server. After a success of creation, I can then migrate the diskfile of a SAN LUN.

If I try to do the same thing directly in a virtual machine with the diskfiles not on local drives but on the SAN, then the Setup program will fail in most cases. It is not always the same point in the installation program - it can be anywhere in the process of staging by sccm. Seems to be a period of waiting or something and obviously seems to be a problem with the SAN storage...

... then... I'm the expert on LAN, or SCCM expert--while hoping, someone else knows this problem and there are probably certain parameters to change to avoid a timeout or something.

Storage system is HP EVA 4400. ESX is vSphere 4.0.0 208167.

Best regards

Inside of Windows, you must change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk\TimeOutValue value to 60 seconds or more.

Also, what version of windows are you using?

  • Problems with ImageAssist on the machines using SSDS m2 (NOT is)

    Hello guys,.

    first of all, I must admit, I am facing ImageAssist the first time, so maybe I m ask stupid or boring. I tried the search within this Forum, but didn t get results...

    Okay, so here´s I want to do... our new generation of material (E7270, E5570, OptiPlex7040 far, precision 7710) must be distributed to our subsidiaries around the world. Sometimes they must implement a customer, so I want to create a Sysprep Image BASE + APPS, which I can send to these guys here.

    Here´s so what I've done (problem follows when restoring my Image)

    for example allows to take the E5570, 8 GB of RAM, 256 SED m.2SSD. I installed Win7x64 Enterprise with a Microsoft ISO in a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 11. My VM config: 4 GB of RAM, 60 GB HD, network in bridged Mode, turn off sound and VM printer and here my first question:

    Inside VM:BIOS or EFI Mode and drive hard ACHI or SATA Raid or SCSI mode? OK, I m prepared and tried all the...

    so after installing win7 and .net 4.5.2 (VMWare Tools also, for the use of slides &) and 2 Reg settings with regard to our environment (MaxTokenSize = 65535 and EnableLUA = 0) I created my BASE Image/Snapshot.

    After you add a few packages of software, I created my BASE + APPS (always with VMWare Tools).

    Next step, uninstall VMWare Tools... restart, after this judgment. now boot into DELL's PE and I created our MaintenanceImage to a network drive. So far all is working well, so I used the installation without assistance-creator tool and define our values (name & Company, selectable language, workgroup, computer name must be completed by the regional IT guy, and I checked to copy the profile to the default user profile... that s he)

    Validation tool crossed without moaning, capturing also...

    I sliced two of the Image (about 10 GB) to some 2 GB and copied on our USB key for testing purposes...

    Stick plugged USBPort E5570, restored, added DELL drivers CAB files and after restoration, the E5570 started Win7x64 for the first time... everything worked fine, etcpp... devices to about 90 percent of the first boot, I get the message: "Windows cannot configure one or more system components. TI install Windows, reboot, and re-install Windows.

    Hope someone could snap this suspicion to my face :D

    I also tried a BIOS/MBR Installation with the 7710 of precision using a standard 2.5 "SSD... I didn t get an error or a problem with this one... restroing & syspreping went well

    Waiting for lots of helpful tips to fix this :)))

    Best wishes & greetings from Germany

    Problem solved, everything works like a charm...

  • Virtual MACHINE using GHS restore CD

    I'm new to VMware and I'm trying to implement a virtual machine using XP Home.  I created the virtual machine and I am trying to use the restaurant 3 CD to install the operating system.  The first CD works fine, but the second can not open the file .ghs.  When I try to open the .ghs file it shows same not she, but a .gho file is there, but does not work.

    Any suggestions?   I need to convert a .iso?  If so, how?

    Thank you.

    Theoretically, you can't use restore CD to configure a new virtual machine, because they are technically linked to the computer to which they belong.

    Because the virtual hardware for a virtual machine is completely different with the material belonging to the restore CD, I don't expect that it will work well. For the case, it works well, you could face activation problems, due to the completely different (virtual) hardware.

    You might need a copy of XP retail to do a clean install of XP.

    VCLI orders are mainly used for configurations of the host, although as part of the installation of vCLI, you get also vSphere SDK for utilities Perl - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl41/doc/vsperl_util_index.html that provide additional canned scripts, which allows you to create a single set of virtual machines using the vmcreate.pl script.

  • deploy multiple virtual machines using vmdk and SID file

    Hello

    Need to know if I am correct or miss me something... I deploy many virtual machines using method.

    1. remove the vmdk files a XP.

    2. create new folders and copy the vmdk into this folder.

    3. create virtual machines using existing vmdk files.

    4 rename the computer and join it to the domain.

    My question is, my VMDK files are an existing xp VM (no longer exist), what is the status of the deployed virtual machines? they still have the same SID or it is changed? I managed to join to the domain, but do not want surprises in the future.

    Note:

    I had another option, could have all these automated with new SID using PowerCLi, unfortunately, osCustomization has default, I can't event run the get-OsCustomization command, it keeps failing.

    Thank you.

    Yes, Windows writes the SID on disk (virtual disk for virtual machines) or physical disk for physical machines.  The guest operating system has no idea on the vmx file.

  • Problem running an existing virtual machine with fusion

    Im trying to run a virtual machine I use with player on my pc. He refuses to perform under the terms of the fusion of ideas?

    Blackdeerhunter wrote: Ive got further system boots to windows and then asks me to activate now what?

    Well, let's see...  Oh yes, activate it!

    BTW this is not a question of VMware itself as Windows product activation is a Microsoft problem whatever we're running Windows on a physical or a virtual machine.  Except run the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine where the VMware Tools manages the database WPA to allow a start both in native and virtual mode, it would be the extent of the share of VMware in the present itself and the rest to you as a user to deal with Microsoft with.

  • Problems after resizing XP virtual machine: a Windows image not valid

    After increasing my Windows XP virtual machine, I can't run Microsoft programs.

    My system

    I am running XP as a virtual disk with Fusion 4.1.3 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) with a drive of 500 GB and 4 GB of RAM.  My virtual machine from Windows XP (formatted FAT) has only 700 MB of free space, so I tried to increase its size from 32 GB to 48 GB.

    What I've done

    1. I increased the size of the HD in merger/disc settings

    2. the virtual machine does not resize automatically.  Messages to OS X Console says repeatedly that the virtual machine was no resizing applications ("' NUMA: auto size request ignored '")

    3. I then used EaseUS Partition Master in Windows XP to increase the use of the newly released hard drive space, but the extra space would never appear after reboot XP

    4. I then tried Partition Wizard, that worked.  So that resizing Partition Wizard was also moving files.

    The problem:

    When I restarted Windows, I got several error messages saying that the dll is not a valid windows image.  I couldn't run all Microsoft programs (Outlook, Excel, etc.) but can run non-Microsoft programs after clicking through many error reports.

    Fortunately, I made a copy of the virtual machine before attempting to resize, so I use it now.  But I lost 12 GB on my Mac hard drive and cannot get enough space in Windows

    Any thoughts out there so that I could get enough space?

    It is good that you made a backup, because even in the best conditions can things and sometimes lack.

    Since you had questions, go right to work, in other words, the first step to actually make the larger virtual hard drive, I have consider doing the following.

    1. ensure that you have a backup full host.  Time Machine is great for Mac OS X but not for Virtual Machines.  For the Virtual Machines, you must make a copy while closed stop, unsprung, and VMware Fusion.  Once you are sure that have everything backed up properly...

    2. use utility disk to verify disk permissions, disk check and optionally repair either or both based on audit reports.

    3. use vmware-vdiskmanager with the -r option to check the integrity of the virtual hard disk.

    4. from the guest operating system in a Windows prompt command use chkdsk /f to check and fix a problem with the Windows file system.

    5. try to resize the virtual hard disk again.

  • Installation of Windows 2008 R2 x 64 as virtual machine using workstation7

    Hello

    I am trying to install Windows 2008 x 64 R2 as virtual machine on VMware on an ASUS Wndows7 teacher a new computer workstation7 laptop with i3 proc. I use an ISO image downloaded from Microsoft downloads.

    I get an error as follows:

    A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, cd, dvd or usb please insert now.

    When I try to search for the driver on flopp or cd/dvd, it is unable to find it.

    Could you please help me with this one.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    This error is most likely due to a corrupted ISO download.  Try to download it again and see if that corrects the problem.

    Good luck!

  • Create a virtual machine using the ubuntu (host of W7) partition

    I am running Windows 7 and 8 of VMware Workstation.

    The disc is actually a raid-0. There are 3 partitions: (Dual-boot)

    -Ubuntu (64-bit)

    -System reserved Windows

    -Windows (64-bit)

    I am trying to create a virtual machine under W7 using the Ubuntu partition.

    I tried 2 things for step 'select a physical drive:

    -Use individual partitions. The problem is at the end, when you click Finish. I get the error: "one of the provided parameters is not valid."

    -Disc use whole. The virtual machine is created, but when I turned on, I get the error:

    "Could not open the disk ' C:\. [..] \Ubuntu 64 - bit.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    Reason: the physical disk is already in use. »

    Thank you in advance for answering,

    Kind regards.

    In my tests I couldn't use a host physical diskwith a Windows 7 without setting the disc 'offline '.
    But then you can set the diskette from Windows Startup 'offline '.

    Using Linux or 2003, you don't have this problem.

  • Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

    We have an environment consisting of ESX:

    • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

    • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

    I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

    We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

    1. Is this feasible?

    2. I had user Converter?

    3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

    Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

    I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

    This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

    If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

    Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.
