• Problem running under vmware player .iso file

  How to run a file .osi on VMware player, or at least how to convert a .iso file to be able to run under VMware player?

  You can try this step to see if you can install the new computer using the file .iso with VMware Player http://linhost.info/2008/12/create-a-virtual-machine-from-an-iso-with-vmware-player/ and you know VMware Server 2.0 is free and gives you options to create the ideal machine for laboratory rather than using VMware Player?

  According to KB article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1030283 I have to configure my VM as 'Server ESX 4' and the option is available in VMware Player 3.x.

  I don't see any option to configure my VM as suggwested.

  You could create a virtual machine with a virtual disk free based and then edit the vmx file:

• How to convert a Machine of VMWare ESXi 4.0 to run on VMWare Player

  Hi Experts

  I am new to VMWare and need help, we are running ESXi 4.0, I installed on our Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2) the following:

  -VMWare vSphere Client 4.0

  -VMWare vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0

  -VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone

  We have currently x-2 VMS Machines on our server ESXi (ISSDBN01 & ISSSAP), ISSAP installing Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Editon and SAP, I now want to convert this Machine VM (ISSAP) so I can play on / via VMWare Player. My steps were as follows:

  -Turning off the machine that needs conversion

  -Make sure that I am on the parameters users & groups

  -Convert the Machine (ISSSAP) using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone VM

  Once the conversion is complete it converts a 145 GB file (that is stored on an external hard drive and the machine has x 2 100 GB disks = disk C and data disc), I select the .vmx with VMWare Player (version 3.0.1.11056) file that I use on my laptop (running Windows Vista Business SP2, 4 GB of RAM), but it does not seem to boot up It keeps saying "Windows is loading files", I Googled it and came across someone adding the parameters of the resolution of the .vmx file.

  I'm not sure what to do now that I need to convert this machine as soon as possible, as I have to get a copy of this machine and test upgrades (because the server is going to be broken and most of the parts used for our hosted server); can anyone help me on what steps I must take to ensure that I convert it properly so I can play this machine converted by VMWare Player.

  Thank you very much for any help, much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Kurt Walters

  Hello Kurt.

  I just have a question about my machine converted, is there a best practice or a better way to convert a VM Machine.

  It is really not a good practice. The most important part of the conversion is the correct selection of the controller (as you did) and disk size/commissioning type. The other settings depend on what you want to achieve. After conversion, review the settings of the virtual machine to ensure that everything is as it should be for example (guest operating system, controller, network,...)

  You can also download the latest version of VMware Converter 4.3 which is supported for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help is was extremely useful and appreciated.

• Lose the snapshots created by vmware fusion when running in vmware player?

  Hi all

  At home I have VMWare Fusion on a Mac and have created a lot of photos;

  Unfortunately I'm away and stay with a friend who has that VMWare Player.

  I'll lose all the clichés that I created if I run my last VM at his computer, whereas VMWare Player have the ability to single snapshot?

  Thank you

  No, you won't lose the snapshots. However, you will not be able to manage, so the virtual machine will run the latest snapshot (and grow this hard snapshot file).

• Backing up a virtual computer running on vmWare player

  Hello

  In about a month, I run an IT project for a conference and to do this, I'll take with me my conference server, which is a virtual machine (Windows 2008 r2) usually run on an ESXi. To export it, I did a V2V and put it on a laptop. Everything works fine. However in removing my ESXi I lose the ability to snapshoting it. This virtual machine will be led by VM Player.

  In addition, to reduce the risk, I bought the same laptop in case of crash of the first. Now, I would like to find a way to snapshot or backup my VM without having to turn it off or to suspend what is impossible for me at the time of the Conference.

  Does anyone of you has an idea on how I could do this?

  Thanks for your help!

  Welcome to the community,

  even if a snapshot is NOT a backup, I suggest that you get a copy of VMware Workstation, allowing to create snapshots.

  OK, for the windows 2008, try to install the DNS service (Add Server Manager roles) in there... (you cannot point the others it as DNS if it does not act as DNS)

  also in it the IP configuration, set as follows:

  IP 10.1.1.31

  Subnet 255.255.255.0

  Gateway 10.1.1.1

  Primary DNS 10.1.1.31

  203.x.x.35 secondary DNS (you can also add the 203.x.x.36)

  Do the same for your guests to WIndows 7.

  Make sure all are workers and they can ping each other...

  If everything is OK, you should have internet on them...

• Try to get the Scheduler of tasks for automatically running Windows Media Player with a log?

  I did a new task in the Task Scheduler to run wmplayer.exe. The trigger is whenever a user logs on. He gave me a permission error, which I fixed it by checking "do not store the password." Everything remains that I went alone, without anything change it. So, I disconnected and reconnected again to see if wmp would open by itself at startup. There can be no. Any ideas?

  Haha, nevermind, I forgot to restart the computer >. > This is a lesson to all, ALWAYS RESTART you YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS. Patches about all ^_^

• Can I register the Virtual Machine of VMware player esxi 4 4.1?

  Hi all

  There are a few virtual machines running in VMware player version 4, now I need to migrate on ESXi 4.1...

  It's Possible he just copy and past the files of virtual machines running in vmware player in the data store then register the same in the esxi server and power on... This will not work?

  because I do not V2V method...

  With respect,

  Pascale Vimal

  You run the virtual machine on HW 8, that you will not be able to simply move the ESXi machine.

  The only supported option is to do a conversion on reviews of downgrade the material relating to immigration to vSphere

• VMWare Player 5.0

  I have a laptop windows 7, which has a wireless connection to the corporate network. I can access the internet and the internal network without a problem.

  On this laptop, I have a machine virtual windows 7 running in VMWare Player 5.0. I'm trying to access internet/network of this virtual machine.

  If I use NAT, the internet connection works fine but I only have access to the internal network if I use the IP address, not the UNC name.

  No idea why it is and how can I fix?

  Thank you

  L

  Well, your DNS running on the virtual machine. You do not need to change the DNS settings, since your NAT works as a DNS proxy and will forward DNS queries to DNS servers known by the host system.

  For your problem of suffix: you must configure the default suffix of systems. With windows 7 do where you change your ComputerName:

  Right-click computer-> properties-> change settings-> change of name-> change-> more-> default dns suffix entry.

• problem of graphics screen in OSX Mountain Lion - VMWare Player on Windows

  WIndows 7 or Windows XP, when you use VMWare Player with Mac OS X Lion mountains or the Mavericks, there is a problem of graphical layout.

  I noticed this twice already:

  1. in the system preferences when you try to change the personal image for users and groups. You can see your own image, but trying to change the image of the drop-down list page shows only a blank page. Nevertheless, he is content. When you tic on the blank page, you can change the image, but without visual reference.
  2. I tried iWeb Design in Mac OSX Mavericks. The same situation. By choosing a layout you see a blank page, but it is contained. Try adding that an image or a text always results in a blank page on the screen.

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

• VMWare Player wireless adapter question

  I'm relatively new to VMWare Player and have a network problem.  I am running VMWare player with a Windows 7 host and the VM v4.04.

  I use the VPN virtual machine and try to set up the virtual machine with the IP host wireless.

  
  The virtual computer network is set to Bridged w/Replicate and detects the card physical network, State and IP without problem, however, it does not detect the adapter wireless at all.  It is not in the virtual computer Device Manager, the period of INVESTIGATION, nor the State...

  What would be the right course of action?

  Thank you for your time.

  BTW VMware Player 3.x and later to not install the virtual network Editor by default and you will need to install it manually...

  To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

  VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
  

  Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.
