• How to toggle the option of VM tools upgrade policy

  Hello

  This seems like a simple request, but I can't find the proper syntax for it.  I am trying to create a workflow that will toggle the VM option to check VMtools automatically at the next reboot.

  I can verify that it is currently but may not know how to change it.

  var currentopt = vm.config.tools.toolsUpgradePolicy;

  System.log ("currentopt =" + currentopt);

  Any assistance would be helpful.

  Thank you

• Script to change the settings for security vSwith

  We need a script to change the settings for security vSwitch.

  To change the below: -.

  Mac changes Accept Reject

  Forged pass Accept Reject

  The two parameters above must change on all the vSwitch in vcenter.

  Altogether. Pass an argument to Get-VMHost

  If you pass the complete hostname (as he shows in vCenter), it will act on the single host:

  Get-VMHost MYESXi01.mydomain.com

  or if you want to do more, you can pass a joker:

  Get-VMHost MYESXi*.mydomain .com

  FWIW, I think that should do the same thing on a single line, if you like this better

  Get-VMhost|%{$hv=Get-View $_.ID;$ns=$hv.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem;($hv.Config.Network.Vswitch)|%{$vs=$_.Spec;$vs.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous=$false;$vs.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits=$false; $vs.Policy.Security.MacChanges=$false;$ns.UpdateVirtualSwitch($_.Name,$vs)}}

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

• script to change the data type of column

  Hi gurus of the oracle.

  I have 190 tables in my database.

  I have the column type CHAR of all these tables data.

  I need to change the data type of CHAR in VARCHAR2 for all these tables...

  There the script to change the data type of all tables at once?

  Please help me in this regard.

  Thanks in advance

  Concerning

  REDA

  Hello

  There is nothing built-in to Oracle SQL to do.  Maybe your front-end has certain characteristics.

  You can write dynamic SQL statements to do.  In other words, you can write a query that the output is a SQL script like this:

  ALTER TABLE TABLE_A CHANGE (A_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5))

  A_TXT2 VARCHAR2 (10));

  ALTER TABLE TABLE_B CHANGE (B_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5));

  with one row for each column of type CHAR.  Notice how the first line of output for each table begins with ALTER TABLE... but the later lines at the same table.  Similarly, the last line of a table (which will be the same as the first row, if the table has only one column of type CHAR) to end with a semicolon, but other lines are not.

  Here's a way to generate and execute such a dynamic script in SQL * more:

  -Disable the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
  SET FEEDBACK OFF
  SET LINESIZE 500
  SET PAGESIZE 0

  -Create fix_char.sql
  COIL c:\some_pathename\fix_char.sql

  SELECT THE CHECK BOX
  WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
  ORDER BY column_name
  )  = 1
  THEN 'ALTER TABLE ' | table-name
  || "CHANGE (").
  ELSE «»
  END
  ||        column_name
  ||        "VARCHAR2 (').
  ||        DATA_LENGTH
  ||        ')'
  ||        CASE
  WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
  ORDER BY column_name DESC
  )  = 1
  THEN '); "
  Output END AS
  Of user_tab_columns
  WHERE data_type = "CHAR".
  ORDER BY table_name
  column_name
  ;

  SPOOL OFF

  -Turn on the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
  SET FEEDBACK ON
  SET LINESIZE 80
  SET PAGESIZE 50

  -Fix_char.sql performance
  @c:\some_pathname\fix_char

  It's good to change all the CHARIOT of VARCHAR2 columns.  The CHAR data type is nothing trouble.

• Script to change the subnet and vlan.

  Hello

  Please can anyone help with a script to change the subnet and VLANs on all the esx host in a cluster for the vmotion and management network interface?

  Thank you

  Astra

  I guess it worked because you pasted an out front, so:

  Get-Cluster mycluster. Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.} PortGroupName - eq "VMotion"} | {} %
  Game-VMHostNetworkAdapter - VirtualNic $_ - IP $_. IP - subnet mask "255.255.254.0" - confirm: $false
  }

  I guess that makes still out:

  Get-Cluster mycluster. Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.} PortGroupName - eq "VMotion"}

  2 vmknis right?

  If Yes, then it should work I think.

  Parargaph Style #0 is [No Style], and you cannot change this way. Simply start your loop at 1.

• Use scripts to change the name of the tab

  Hi all

  I'm trying to use scripts to add tabs to a tab control in an existing VI.  I am able to add new tabs easily enough, but I can't understand how to change the name of each tab when they are added.  Each name is extracted a TDMS file using a loop for.

  I looked through the existing discussion forums, and there are a few old messages that indicate I should look for the 'independent Label property', and that I should put it to allow me to change the caption of the tab.  There is always an explanation of this property in the help files, but I am unable to find my path to it in the current schema.

  Assuming that this property still exists in my version (2012), could someone tell me the correct sequence of references and property nodes to access this property?  Right now I use the class "TabControl".  If this property is obsolete, can someone let me know if there is a new method to achieve this?  Thank you.

  GSinMN

  After you have added the page, download the Pages property of the index of the newly added page, tab control, use the PageLabel of this page for the label.  It would be cool if the Add Page method returns the reference to the new page.

• Prevent the user account to change the time? Policy and security?

  I came across this site:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/113557-date-time-allow-prevent-users-groups-changing.html

  I followed him.

  So, I logged in using the account that I am limited. It worked like a charm. I can't change the date and time. But problem, using the limited account, I can also access the "secpol.msc" and change the settings. If the person that I have limited knows how to make their account able to change the date and time using the secpol.msc, so it would be useless.

  What can I do to prevent some users from accessing the "secpol.msc"?

  Hi Erebore,

  Please follow the steps below and check to prevent certain users to access secpol.msc

  1. To open the local security policy MMC snap-in, click Start, type secpol.mscand press ENTER.

  2. In the console tree, double-click Application control policies, and then double-click AppLocker.

  3. Right-click executable rulesand then click create default rules.

  4. Three rules are created and listed in the Details pane of the MMC console:
  • To allow all users to run files in the default Program Files folder.
  • To allow all users to run files in the Windows folder.
  • Allow members of the built-in Administrators group to run all the files.

  When you create these three rules, you automatically prevent all administrator users to run programs that are installed in their user profile folder.

  I hope this helps. Back to us for any additional information on the question above. We are happy to help you!
