• How get rid you of a user in the Lab Manager?

  OK, that is.  I imported Active Directory groups in the Lab Manager and everything works fine.  I thought that I would like to delete a user (TOL3 configuration) on the domain controller to see what Lab Manager and it appears greyed out.  I can't however to delete in the laboratory Manager, no matter what I do.  LDAP synchronization do not do it, restart SQL (Lab Manager) service and other services, does not remove and re-import the groups does not work either.   Does anyone have a solution?

  Hello

  You will need to log into the Manager of laboratory as a "system administrator".

  Change the organization 'Global '.

  Now you should get disable it and remove the option to remove the user from Lab manager.

• Passage of the workstation in the Lab manager automation

  Hello

  I have a c# code base and allows to connect to VMware workstation VIX. Base code (using VIX) I have to connect to the VM, clone, copy test in him, and then run it.

  Recently, in our society, we have decided to go for the Director of the laboratory. Therefore, we must make application to connect to the lab instead of the Workstation Manager. I learned that the VIX API cannot be used to talk to the Manager of laboratory, and I need to use the Lab Manager API.

  My question is that I have to completely remove handling VIX and put implementation of Lab Manager API. or I just need to use the API of Lab Manager to connect to the virtual machine, then use VIX API to communicate (i.e. clone, copy data, snapshot, etc.).

  Rizwan

  You must only use the Lab Manager API to perform actions you have on various VMs. avoid using the VIX API to manipulate Lab Manager virtual machines since that interfere with the correct operation of Lab Manager and could lead to a potential loss of data. For example, Lab Manager uses its own cloning mechanism and taken of VM snapshots, and the cloning/taking snapshots via VIX will destroy only the Lab Manager virtual machines view.

• Nothing is displayed when you try to view the Console in the Lab Manager 4

  Hello

  I just install and configure Lab Manager 4 on my vSphere and I'm ready to start working with virtual machine templates. I deployed a VM and it has started, but as soon as I try to display the console or 'Pop-up' the console nothing happen. Stay black and nothing works. I installed the ActiveX IE to ask me to but nothing changes.

  Can you help me with this?

• The UCS Manager LDAP question

  Hi guys,.

  I was wondering if anyone could help with a weird problem that we seem to have met with our UCS Manager.  We set it up to use LDAP authentication for log on which works very well for four of the five members of the team, but we have a user that although it is in exactly the same groups as the rest of us continually gets unautheticated errors to the user.

  We did the habit of checking that it is not his machine or installation and in the newspapers that it even does not save an attempt to log on default so not sure what I can check any thoughts would be much appreciated!

  We use UCSM v2.1 (1e) in case it's relevant?

  Thank you very much

  John

  I ran into the same issue.  Has proved to be a bug in the firmware DN was too long.

  CSCth96721

  It is more a limitation of 128 characters for the number of units of organization or the length of the distinguished name (DN) when you use LDAP to Active Directory authentication.

• The WLC and LDAP integration

  Hello

  I configured a WLC to integrate with LDAP, it works fine when I use only one Active Directory server, but I have other users in the other Active Directory server. When I turn on both servers and some users try to log in with the second server WLC triggered for a little while it is impossible to set up the equipment nor the telnet that during that time, and users may not be authenticated more, I have to disable the server and then activate just one of them in the order users can connect again. I also saw this behavior when more than 4 users try to connect to the same access point at a time.

  Anyone know why this is happening and how to avoid it?

  Thank you very much for your help

  Yes, it leads me to believe that your RADIUS is not configured correctly. I should make it clearer, but in order to make 802.1 x, you must have an IAS or ACS that extends from your ad (or LDAP, I suppose, but I am not sure that it is supported). You can't just point your controller to your ad, it does not work.

• Lab Manager licensing during the merger of vSphere environments

  Is there a small vSphere environment that is available for Lab Manager and a great environment vSphere and both are now completely separated (different vcenter servers, groups separated from ESX, etc.), and they are merged into one, what happens to the Lab Manager licenses?  Should be updated to take account of the increase in the number of ESX host in the new environment?  Environments can be merged without buying additional licenses?  If so, would be half the environment allowed for lab manager and others are not allowed?  How would the lab manager-under license, and lab-manager-without sections allowed environmental stands / separated?

  Thanks for your comments

  "Prepared" you went in in the section resources, hosts tab and see that the host is ready (green check mark), this means that there has been a 'prepare' to the host.  Prepare installs the agent LM, then she will deduct your license (settings > license).

• How to migrate virtual machines from the virtual server MS in Lab Manager?

  We migrate our environment. So primary question is - how to migrate our MS VirtualServer VMs to Lab Manager?

  Hello

  Have you tried using using VMware vCenter Converter?  It can take Virtual PC machines and turn them into VMs VMware (.vmdks), you should then be able to manufacture models of VMware virtual machines, import them into the Lab Manager and voila.

• Cannot locate the Microsoft Sysprep package on the server Lab Manager

• Does not install the tools of LM in the evaluation version of Lab Manager

  The Lab Manager eval version contains the option to install the tools of LM? I can't find this option anywhere in the mouse option in the templates on a server that is not in a domain.

  For Lab Manager 3.0 is no longer a requirement for the tools of LM.  VMware Tools is all you need.  Any mention of the LM tools in the documentation must support VM for upgrade.

• Cannot connect to the labmanager due to the change in ldap server

  Dear community

  I use a Lab Manager 4.02 configured for ldap authentication, operating under windows 2008. Lately our ldap servers have been replaced by new servers with new names. However, this change has not been configured on the console of the Lab Manager and consecvently it is not possible to connect. I tried to locate any type of parameters to change the name of the ldap server, but failed. No idea how to solve this problem?

  Best regards

  Evald

  Yes, never lose this account.  Even if you do, you can call a support aid if LDAP changes IP & you forget the no name/password ldap.

• Locking of Lab Manager

  Hello

  You have a problem with connecting to the Lab Manager web client. It seems to be an ldap call failed between the LM server and a 2 domain controllers Win2k3 domain.

  LDAP works very well from the windows box accommodation Lab Manager. I can't go in the Lab Manager to check the settings, because I can't. Is there a way I can check the ldap Web server configuration files settings?

  Okay, you define an account during installation which is non-ldap.

  Use this account to update all settings or perform other actions.

• I can point my Lab Manager 4.0.2 to point to another new vCenter Server?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a client with a LM4.0.2 production and we are considering moving to one another new/a vCenter server.

  It is important to note that the new vCenter will NOT have the same DB or FULL of the old domain name. It's a completely different vCenter with other ESX hosts.

  Now the questions:

  Can I redirect my Lab Manager (VM) at the new vcenter without any problem?

  What of the ESX (resource) on the old vcenter?

  Is it possible to do this without downtime for laboratories? If this is not the case, how can I minimize downtime? cancel the deployment will be enough?

  Does anyone have this done successfully?

  Any comments would be much appreciated.

  Eyal

  etamir,

  There are some excellent discussions within this forum on the same topic.  I strongly suggest to read first, and I'll see if I can find an example.

  Before going further, data warehouses used in the new vCenter/ESX environment will be exactly the same as the current one?  If you want to keep all of your configurations, I need to know that the UUID of the LUN does not change during this process.

  Can I redirect my Lab Manager (VM) at the new vcenter without any problem?

  You can change the IP/domain FULL name vCenter in the settings section of the Lab Manager site... now on the problems that could result.

  You will need to remove anything from the GUI of Lab Manager that has to do with the current vCenter (unedploy, unprepare host esx, resource pools, configurations etc.).  There will be more on this in the dedicated thread

  What of the ESX (resource) on the old vcenter?

  ESX doesn't really matter, it's the data UUID store that matters.  ESX is just virtual machines.  Note: you'll want to throw all States/suspend points on the VMS where processors are different on the ESX hosts.

  > Is it possible to do this without downtime for laboratories?

  No, there will be a form any downtime.  Either that LM site will be useless (no resources with Betclic, consoles will does not work until the guests are prepared, etc.).

  > If not, how can I reduce downtime? cancel the deployment will be enough?

  Yes, to cancel the deployment of will help... but there will be some lag as you reconfigure Manager of laboratory to use the new vCenter.

  > Has anyone successfully done this?

  Yes.  I saw others to do this.

• Hosts are not displayed in the laboratory Manager

  I have an instance of Lab Manager 4.02. It works fine, until recently, I had to remove hosts from the instance of LM. While everything was closed, and the hosts were removed carefully, I added the new guests, ensuring you configs were identical, networks etc. Same version and everything. The virtual Center took the boxes, and they work fine.

  Lab Manager will, however, not seen. I confirmed repeatedly that none of my services fail, and no newspaper display errors. But the hosts under laboratory Manager section is empty.

  I checked with wireshark, and I get connectivity, as well as the responses of the Director of the lab - virtual Center.

  I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  What would cause this? Someone at - he already experienced this? I have data in real-time in the current Lab Director, if I prefer not to rebuild.

  Thank you

  AW

  Besides that Graham mentioned,.

  > I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  The Director of the laboratory cannot be associated with a single vCenter "Data center" object.  He memorizes the Objid of Datacenter and never delete it.  LM 4 should be able to work around this problem, or we can do something to erase the value manually.  But it would be better to try to verify the other steps first has affirmed here.

  > Then under management > resources section, click Resource Pools tab and select the "attach Resource Pool.

  > Select the resouce pool/ESX host you want on the shortcut menu.

  When you perform these steps, take a screenshot (in case it does not work).  I would like to see what objects have the Lab Manager icon already associated with them.
