Reset the VM windows via vmware or esx tools password?

Hey guys,.

Probably, I already know the answer to this question, but decided to bring it up in case there is something else:

Is there a way to reset a password on VM windows via vmware tools or any other esx command utility?, I used third-party tools like erd control which work very well, I was wondering if there is something a esx itself?

See you soon.

Andres.

Through the host ESX or VMware tools, you can not, the maximum you can do,
is a Girardon. ISO of the CD to reset the password for the administrator
supports virtual machine, go into settings and configure the virtual machine
to access the bios automatically so that the virtual server is set to zero.
After that first selects the boot from the CD (ISO) and reset the password.

Other than that, I don't see any other choice.

  • How many user accounts can use windows via VMware Fusion?

    I installed the latest version of fusion on my machine and a copy of windows XP. It is very good and I am impressed by the ease and speed of it. However, I am the administrator and my 3 kids have accounts of users on the same computer. When my son connects to his user account and Fusion to do some homework on one only program windows at startup, it is not a virtual machine at startup. This means that using merge I cannot use a mac user account? Can I move the windows folder to a location for all to use or y at - it a setting I need to change in Fusion? Maybe, I need to install windows again on his account. If Yes this will cause other potential problems and hog hard disk space unnecessarily. I would prefer merger to the boot camp because I need for windows and mac at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forums!  Yes, you can use XP with multiple users.

    There is some info on this in the Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion

    Here is an excerpt:

    Only one person can be using the VM to

    a time (and the fast user switching does not count). Suspension (and

    maybe taken snapshot) the VM will probably cause others to not

    be able to use the virtual machine.

    Important: whenever you produce operations (move, copy, edition, deletion, etc.) in a virtual machine, make sure it is turned off and the Fusion is not running. You don't want to change data in Fusion.

    To do this, are the main things you need to do:

    • Move the virtual machine to a shared location for others users can access

      • An example of this is/Users/Shared /.

    • Change the permissions so that any user can access the virtual machine

      • In the Finder, select the virtual machine, and then select read the information. Then
        "Ownership and permissions > other" change "read and write".
        (I don't know if you need to do this also for access to the Group). You too
        need to do this for the contents of the virtual machine - do not forget the forest earlier
        on how to get inside a package? And repeat the Get Info
        correction on everything in the bundle

  • Restore or reset the floating windows in Illustrator

    Hi all

    I use symmetryworks from Artlandia [which I highly recommend to all those who work with the repetition of patterns], however the Panel used to change the bosses disappeared.

    the Panel, I want to talk to is on the right of the photographed model http://www.patternhead.com/images/articles/Artlandia-review/pattern-swatch.PNG

    Artlandia don't actually seem to have forums, so I wonder if anyone knows how to reset the panels of the Illustrator or propose a solution that will allow me to see the Panel.

    Thanks in advance, once again.

    I think that if reset you your workspace he would show again.

    even if the essential elements are selected you can reselect always it and define it as it originally was before all changes.

    Looks like an interesting plug.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED: How to reset the Editor window title?

    I managed to screw up my title window. First he attached somehow itself as a 'inserted window' (such as preview windows and the edition of the effect) and I lost all the tools. I managed to detach other windows, but I still can't tools in his place. So I can't change my titles.

  • Reset the power Windows 7 settings

    Hello!

    Although I have configured my laptop mode NOT sleep when I close the lid and it worked several times, this setting no longer works after installing updates. The parameters themselves do not change, just the behavior. I tried to take them by default, and then change them to how I want to (and no NOT to enter the mode standby when the lid is closed), but the laptop is still mode standby when the lid is closed...

    Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting?

    Thank you

    Hi CatalinD,

    First of all, I would say that you update the drivers for the graphics card from the computer and check:

    1. click on Start.
    2. enter Device Manager to launch the search.
    3. expand display adapters in the Device Manager window.
    4. right click on the device.
    5. click on Properties.
    6. click on Driver tab.
    7. click on update drivers.
    8. click on OK.

    Check if the exclamation points are displayed with the device. The exclamation point indicates a problem with the installed driver.

    See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    If the problem persists, you can try to disable the command prompt sleep mode option, follow these steps:
    1. click on Start.
    2 type CMD.exe in the search to start.
    3. right click the command prompt.
    4. click on run as administrator.
    5. type the following command: powercfg-h off.

    Now, restart the computer and check.

    If the problem persists, try "Disabling Hybrid Sleep Mode" follow the steps below.
    1. open the Control Panel in the start menu.
    2. open the Power Options in the control panel.
    3. Select change plan settings next to the power plan that you want to disable hybrid sleep.
    4 Select change advanced power settings.
    5. Select change settings that are currently unavailable in the Power Options window.
    6. the value Allow hybrid sleep under sleep off and then click OK to save the changes.

  • Reports view HFR in the same window via the binding of task list url

    Does anyone know how to render a report, HFR, inside the application of planning, or even in the workspace when referencing to the url of this report through the task list? It is with the version 11.1.1.3. It does not appear as this version allows the task list to be built to pull up the report in the window of planning application, or even a tab separate workspace. I also want to be able to move the preview pdf or html when you view the report, but this option is not allowed when you open the report through the task list. A separate pop up appears on the report, which is not what I want.

    Anyone know a fix or a workaround?

    This seems to be part of your question: -.

  • Check the configuration of time synchronization in ESX 4.1 for Windows domain

    Hello

    Sorry if this topic will cover many, but browsing the forums I found some conflicting info and thought that it easier to ask you if I had it correct.

    I'm ready to virtualize our Active Directory environment and put all our virtual machines RODCs.  We have an environment with 8 ESX hosts and vCenter 4.1.  Most VMs are Windows member servers, but also several RHEL servers and a few non-domaine joined Windows servers.  We have also two domain controllers that are already virtual machines.  I'm down to the last physical domain controller which is our role PDC FSMO server so the Master Timekeeper.

    That's how I was going to change our Setup for the services of time with all being virtual domain controllers.

    1. the virtual FSMO PDC of our clocks of field it is time via w32tm to an external time such as us.pool.ntp.org source. That's the only DC with an external time source.
    2. all the domain joined machines Windows, whether virtual or physical (servers and clients OS) get their time via the domain controllers.  PDC-> all the other DCs-> clients and member servers.  On VMS, we do not use VMTools do a time synchronization. Throughout the normal Windows AD process.
    3. all ESX hosts serve time source external PDC, described above.
    4. all the non-domaine attached (Windows or Linux) machines that are virtual machines get their time synchronization via the VMTools Sync feature.
    Have I not my correct thought and not its ok to ensure synchronization of time between the field in a virtualized ad environment?
    Thanks in advance,
    HR

    That sounds about right, and I've implemented almost identical to this designs. The key is, as you say, do not sync using the time host via VMware Tools, in particular on the role of the PDCe.

    I also usually use this method to ensure that the PDC (role 5) is the only way to an external time source:

  • How to reset the password forgot Windows user account

    I need Toshiba password reset! How can I reset Toshiba laptop? I know you if you help me Toshiba password recovery, etc. Well well, so often to address these issues in our lives. Today, we share a few ways to reset the password of Toshiba.

    Solution1: Toshiba recovery disks help reset lost password

    It only works if we have created the CD or recovery discs before that we have forgotten the password. The next appearing is the steps to reset the Toshiba Windows 7 recovery disk:
    a. start the PC, log on to Windows 7 and insert a USB flash drive in the driver.
    b. start-> Control Panel-> user accounts and of the safety of the family->-> create a user accounts password reset disk.
    c. in the Welcome screen click Next and select the inserted USB, click Next.
    d. Enter the password in the password field and click Next. When the progress indicator displays 100% complete, click Finish to exit. Remove the driver USB of PC.
    The method is similar to create a Toshiba restore CD. Now the password of Toshiba Windows 7 recovery disk is ok. Put it in a safe place for people can use to reset your password.
    Steps to recover the password with the created password reset disk Toshiba:

    f. Insert the USB Toshiba Recovery disk created in the USB driver interface, and then click Reset password' to open the password reset Wizard. Click next to continue.
    g. Choose this Toshiba USB drive recovery in the drop-down list. Click next to continue.
    h. enter a new password and re-enter a second time to confirm. Click next and finish to close the wizard.

    Option2: Reset Toshiba laptop for accounts with administrator rights

    If there is default or built-in Administrator account or other accounts with rights and administrator privileges, we can use it to Toshiba bypass password. Take example of Toshiba XP Recovery:
    System A. Boot mode safe mode by pressing F8 when PC stars.
    B. PC access by the available account with administrator rights and of privileges.
    C. start - users and groups lusrmgr.msc in the search ENTRY - local users and groups - box choose users.
    D. make a right-click the account with password unlocked, select set the password and enter and confirm the new password.

    Solution3: Toshiba Reset password with the ISO image file burn

    We can burn .iso on a bootable USB stick or a CD/DVD disc image file and reset the forgotten password quickly and easily. Take one of the most popular tool to reset the Windows Ainorsoft Windows Password Recovery password as an example:
    a. download the program from an accessible PC;
    b. burn the file .iso on a blank CD/DVD or USB drive.
    c. work around the lost password of Toshiba with the CD/DVD on the PC locked.

    Things will be difficult if we know the methods of Toshiba pass reset once we forgot password for Toshiba laptop! Be sure to share them with your friends!

    Thanks for sharing this, but we always talk about password of Toshiba, it won't and I think this might be a bit confusing, it is of a workaround for the windows user account password.

    As much as I know there is no password defined by Toshiba.

    The user can define the user account password in windows if necessary so that this workaround solution describes how to remove a user account Windows password that is common to all computers with the preinstalled Windows operating system.

    However, thanks for posting ;)
