the virtual machine customization: Customize not

Hi all

When I create a model for w2k8r2 I follow these steps:

-create a virtual machine

-install w2k8r2

-install the required patches

-install all the software business for our build

-stop the machine (no sysprep is run)

-model of the virtual machine

Now, when I deploy a vm' in this model and select: Customize will not... machinery recently deployed still would be Sysprep and made unique?

Thank you

Dryv

How can I make sure my get sysprep machines would be?

very simple.

Use vCenter customization specification Manager, PR Cutomization Spec File for Windows, specify the Hostname of the virtual machine, the license key, network settings and check generate new largest SID.

See next post where someone has explained how to do this step by step activity.

Creation and use of VMware Guest customization Specification"blog of Adrian Costea

now, when deploying the new VM model of yours, please check customize Guest OS-> select spec file. customization you created. and continue with the deployment.

Rest will be done for you, as your newly deployed machine will be syspreped,

This way you won't have to worry about SID, but at the same time many other things will be also supported.

  • How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

    VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.


    I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

    You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

    1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

    2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

    3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

    4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

    5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

    6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

    7. run your virtual machines as before.

    When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

    Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

  • An error occurred during the restoration of the virtual machine

    Hello world

    I pause my vmware and when I try to restore it I have this error

    «An error occurred in restoring the State of the virtual machine files "C:\Users\Asus\Documents\Virtual Machines\Windows Server 2008 R2 x64\Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - acc901af.vmss»»

    Thank you

    My suggestion would be to remove the State Suspended (.vmss) of the Virtual Machine file.  Note that the removal of the waking state has the same effect as when you perform a hard reset of the virtual machine, or by pushing the reset button on a physical computer, in that all data in unsaved open applications is lost!  However if the virtual machine resume so I don't see any other choice to try to run the Virtual Machine.

  • Description of the virtual machine

    Hello

    Can someone tell me please how to add the description of a virtual machine using client vspher.

    You should be able to add the description "Annonations" tab in the "remarks" section of the summary of the VM tab.

    The search function in the vSphere client also has the ability to search the virtual machines using these Notes.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

    If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

    <! Session data>

    Hello

    You can try another approach to the UUID of the virtual machine. There are several problems with this:

    -To get this info from the virtual machine, you must point the PowerCLI script to a management as vCenter server. This may alter much a security policy. For my part could never allow that.

    -Second is not directly queryable within the virtual machine itself.

    I suggest you watch the getinfo VMware Backdoor options to see if something that you can use in that it is directly queriable within the virtual machine and can not be disabled at the moment. Output may be limited, but it cannot be deleted. This is commonly called RedPill and there is a lot of code out there that will help you to access the backdoor.

  • Cannot ping the Virtual Machine by host

    Hi all,

    Please help, I use VMWare Workstation 6.5 and I have a physical operating system which is Windows XP SP2, I have a network card, but not connected to a physical switch, the IP address is 192.168.0.1. I installed a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Windows 2003 server as the operating system, promote as domain controller, install the DHCP, DNS service and assign an IP 192.168.0.2, no default gateway.

    My VMnet1 on physical operating system has an IP 192.168.204.1 and VMNet8 has an IP 192.168.126.1.

    The host, I cannot ping the 192.168.0.2 which is the IP address of the Virtual Machine. Even in the Virtual Machine, I can not ping 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the host. From what I read, the physical and the virtual machine were connected with a virtual switch. Am I wrong?

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    They SEEM to be in different networks, you need search routing between them,... since they differnet networks...

  • Limitation of the Virtual Machine's CPU/memory resources.

    Hello

    My question on the tab "resources" with VMachine settings (I hope I picked the right branch here)

    In this tab I put a booking/Limit for CPU/memory for current VMachine.

    I have a cluster about 6 ESX servers with resource by default and a VMachine inside pool. VMachine have 1 CPU. Each ESX have 2 plugs with 4 core per socket. Each base equal to 2, 83GHz. Def.

    In this case, which by default configuration for an average CPU for this VMachine limitaion - 132582 MHz? Because in practice ESX server can give only 1 CPU for this VMachine and this CPU will have 2, 83GHz only...

    Also, I put 100% of CPU - 132582 MHz booking here... But in true VMachine will never receive this resource...

    Same question about limitation of memory...

    When this limitation will work? For what porpose such booking/limitaion here?

    Re: But, if I'm going to make a mistake and this CPU for VM value reserve, which is more physical limitation - it reduces resources processor for other VMs on a value that is more than the physical limitation of the virtual computer?

    No, the reservation only guarantees that if a virtual machine wants to take a large part of the resource at a given time VMware should give him.  If there is ever going to be a situation where the virtual machine is in fact to consider that much so it never gets allocated to this virtual machine and the amount of the resource remains available for other virtual machines to use.  Similarly, if the virtual machine just does not use the amount of the booking to a point in time, he let this resource can be used by other virtual machines.

    If a virtual computer uses only 1 GHz on a core 3 GHz system, at a given time but thereservation is 2.5 GHz, 1.5 GHz between its use and booking that is not used at this time is available for other VMS to use.  That is only if there is a period of contention between VM and VM CPU wishing to use mean 2.8 GHz it would be guaranteed to get 2.5 GHz independently of the parameters of the actions on the VM from other virtual machines.

    It is essentially the same thing with memory except that the memory usage is not as CPU flunctuate and VMware must also use more complex methods to reallocate the memory, but the leaders of the way in which it is shared using actions, reservations and limit is the same.

  • Check the State of the virtual machine remotely

    Hi all

    I want to check the status of my virtual machines remotely (start, stop, reset, suspend, resume). Is there a simple way to do this?

    In fact, I am using the remote built into VMware workstation's screen but if I stop the virtual machine, I am not able to restart and go on the host computer. Is there a solution for workstation as the Web management or something else?

  • See Virtual Machine role cannot accommodate the virtual machine is on. Help please.

    Hi all. I'm trying a re-branded minimum permissions to a group for some virtual machines. The role of Virtal Machine user seems to be a perfect fit. The only problem I have is that the user can't see what host the virtual computer is on. If they are in the VMware Infrastructure Client and click on the Summary tab, it is empty. The reason why I want to see them is if they need to use a CD-ROM to install an application in that they need to know what a host to the CD. Can someone tell me which box to check if I go and change the role? Is there a better way to do it?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Forums!

    If they have access to the virtual Center and the access flag to the virtual machine itself, why not just mount the .iso/CD on the computer virtual in question then disconnect when you are finished.  Having to put a CD in an ESX host, every time something must be installed not the ideal way

  • Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

    Hi all

    (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

    We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

    We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

    I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

    Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

    TIA
