Transfer OS to the new build machine

• Install Win7 64 bit update on the new build machine

  Initially, I bought a Dell machine with Win XP installed on it, that was obviously an OEM installation. Later, I bought an update to Win7 (boxed version containing two DVD - 1 x 32 bit and 1 x 64-bit).

  I looked at the product key on the System Properties screen and it does not contain the letters OEM, then it means that when I upgraded the operating system he converted it from version OEM to a retail version?

  The reason for my question is that I intend to use this system for donor parts and build a new one, but it will contain a different MB, CPU and RAM, which if I understand correctly this is what the OEM versions are related to. Building the new system, I will seek to install the 64-bit version rather than the 32-bit on the current computer.

  And just to confirm, the old system definetely will be out of use and therefore discarded. I don't mean to reproduce the number of facilities, any transfer from one machine to the other.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Noel, thanks for your response.

  I have to admit your backup response I expected in the case, but...

  Since my original post, I have been informed of "Universal PID Checker", I used to check my current installation (the one I'm looking for scrap) and he informed me that I have a retail version.

  If I will have to just suck it and see?

  With a question mark above it, I do not want to splash out on a new license if it is not needed.

  You will need to invest in a new full version license, because the machine you build will not have an existing previous license eligible to use the upgrade version.

  You can try the following and see if it works:

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• . ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine

  I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.

  The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk.  The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

  See: Migrateing vCenter new host

  Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

  Kind regards

• Defining the new Virtual Machine

  When you set the new Virtual Machine, what is the size of the virtual disk to specify? (Default value is 8GB) Should we check "Allocate all disk space now" option?

  No, this hard disk space actually leaves your portable office/computer hard drive free space.

  Look at your free space of the desktop and then add a new hard drive with 30 concerts or more.   Check again, and note that this space has disappeared.   Then you can just delete it and it comes back.

  Yes, just use the ' Add ' button.

  If you find this information useful, please give points of

  'correctness '.

  or "useful."

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.
  Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

• Transfer data to the new iPhone 7

  I'm going to buy an iPhone AT & T 7.  I should have transfer AT & T my data from the old phone to new phone or should I do it myself via iTunes?

  See transfer content from your old device iOS to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  The only way for AT & T to do would be for them back up your device to one of their computers store and restore the new device. Do you want to really a computer AT & T store to have a copy of the data on your device?  It's a simple process to do it yourself, and you should be regularly backup your iPhone to iTunes and/or iCloud anyway.  A backup is your single source to recover your data in case of disaster.

• Cannot transfer files to the new WD passport external HD

  I have a new ultra external hardrive WD passport.  This is in addition to one I already like my time machine and another that I like a return to the top of this.  Since then, I bought a 3rd to save some external files, my iMac and one of my hardrives.  However, it will not let me copy & paste or click and drag anything from the iMac or the external hardrive to the new external hardrive.  Can anyone tell me why and especially what to do to overcome this problem pls?

• How Long should it take to transfer data to the new iPhone

  I had a capacity of 32GB iPhone 5 c that I had used about 30 GB of.  Got a new 6 iPhone with a capacity of 64 GB and after a few false starts, I am now transfer data from the old phone to the new by using iTunes.  However, it was 'Step 5 of 5' sync of Apps for more than an hour.  Should it really take this long?  When can I give up and try another thing... and I want to try?

  Thanks in advance

  I had a similar problem when my 5-a new 6 s using the iTunes backup, and I think that the problem is with the thinning app. This will affect you, because if you updated apps on your iPhone 5 c, this would not have been be transferred to iTunes. iTunes is trying to install older versions of your applications with more recent data on your phone, and that is the cause of being stuck in this step. You have to update all your apps in iTunes and then sync your iPhone.

  How to transfer files from the current user to a user name

  Is that what you really want to do and why?

  In particular, you want to create a user account completely new to replace an old account may be corrupt, or you want to just copy some files?

  If you want to copy the user profile, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7

  If you just want to copy files from the ALICE user to user BOB,

  1. Connect you as a user with "Computer administrator" privileges (this could be ALICE, BOB or another account)
  2. Go to C:\Users\Alice\Documents, right click on desired folders or files and select copy
  3. Go to C:\Users\Bob\Documents and paste files or folders you copies

  Always use 'Copy' rather than 'move '.  After you have determined that the files were copied successfully to their new location, you can go back and delete them from the old location.

  For other than documents files, replace

  C:\Users\\Music

  C:\Users\\Pictures

  C:\Users\\Videos

  etc.

• Transfer data to the new computer.

  Hi JohnWise1943,

  If the hard disk is installed on the same computer, you can use the hard drive as a second partition to access the files.

  You can also visit this link and ignore the title and return Let me fixit myself and instead of locating the folder Windows.old, you can use the same method and transfer files from an old to a new hard drive.
