• Mode locking ESXi and Tech Support Mode warning

  I would like to be alerted if an ESXi host is not in the locked mode or allowed to TSM. We have more than 100 guests and sometimes, when these settings are enabled us not forget to return them. Someone did he write or know that an alert rules on this?

  Thank you

  Chris

  It is not collected in the current version (vFoglight 6.6). It can be done with customization, creating a script agent who runs a PowerCLI script for example and fill the results in a dashboard.

  I will pass this along feature request to product management to add the collection of Lockdown modes / Tech Support out of the box and also have an alert for it.

  Thanks for the suggestion!

• Is it true that it costs $99 / month for Mozilla Tech Support if needed?

  A parent who has been using FoxFire for years had a major problem with the loss of his data; After doing everything possible (restorations, etc.) he called Mozilla Tech Support and they said: of course, just give us your credit card; the charge is $ 99 for 30 days of technical support. He called the right number?

  Sorry to say but your parent has been scammed.

  Support us here. Mozilla does NOT support. If the problems persist post on this forum for help.

  I'm sure that there are many places calling themselves Support Mozilla, or something very similar. More frequent are scams of Microsoft/Windows. Whowever is probably does not have a traceable site.

• MacBook Air tech support scams

  Hello

  Has anyone heard of US Software Solutions Inc. and scams on them? I checked their site, seems legitimate, but anyone can put up a Web site. I called the numbers provided, a person pick up... however...

  I think I have been scammed. Yesterday, my computer froze with a popup that showed that I had a mistake and tech support number provided. I tried to stop the laptop, tried to force quit safari. The pop up kept repeating. I tried to open apple support, tabs would be open but the gel. I called technical support, with hesitation... bad feeling all the time... gave them the $, because they 'fixed' my laptop online... now it works, but I'm afraid to use it. By banking example, passwords etc.

  I am not computer savy.  Any suggestions? Help

  Yes, you have been scammed. Contact your bank for more details on how to deal with the fraud. Immediately change all passwords for anything that may have never accessed from this computer. For ultimate peace of mind, you can restore your computer using a backup prior to the access by criminals.

  For future reference: Force Quit Safari, then restart Safari while holding the SHIFT key... That's all.

• HP27vc: Tech Support a severe disappointment - the HP monitor drivers

  So, I bought this monitor at Staples last weekend.  I installed and also the HP Support Assistant.  When you're done, I then found that I was still operating under the generic "pnp monitor" driver Windows.

  HP Support Assistant was no help at all - he could not recognize that I am using a HP monitor.

  So I called HP Tech support today - as it turns out, it is offshore support.  After finally convincing that I indeed had a HP device that was under warranty, I was connected with another offshore technician, who proceeded to 'teach me' there is no HP DRIVERS - all use generic drivers.  At this point, I realized that I was being quite a lot of manure of cattle.  When I asked why HP Support Assistant did not see the monitor on my system, he said that it was not supposed to see the monitor, only the pc mainframe.  I told her that it was not very helpful and ended the call.

  So I dug even more, and of course, I found HP27vc LCD Monitor driver, sp73128.exe.  I installed this and now my monitor is running with the HP driver and not the generic.

  I checked HP Support Assistant once again, who wondered if the correct driver has been installed now, he can now see the monitor, but alas, he still does not see it.

  Is it worth keeping this HP Support Assistant installed?  I mean, because he does not see the monitor, how can it be of any use to me?

  Any comments or thoughts appreciated

  ceetiger

  Hello:

  I guess you can get all kinds of divergent opinions about the usefulness of the software HP Support Assistant (HPSA).

  It is one of the first programs I uninstall when I have a PC HP.

  You have found, you can check the support page for your HP product for new drivers (or drivers in general).

  One of the things that scares me is that some people have the software HPSA runs automatically, and it will download and install software updates without knowing the user.

  This can be particularly dangerous if it downloads and installs an update of the BIOS for the PC, and work on the PC during this process.  Not sure yet it is running, or casually reject all notifications that you are busy (I do this at the time), and if you close your PC for an update of the BIOS, you end up with a dead PC.

  I read a few forum posts where that happened indeed a few people unhappy.

  You can set the program to you not inform that, and then you choose when and which updates to install.

  I just get rid of it... one more application running in background to slow down your PC.

  Use the utilities to clean and optimize disk at least once a month to keep your PC works well.
