• Problems to open PDF files after the upgrade of the file server for 2012 R2

  Hello

  This weekend we have improved our main Windows 2003 to 2012 R2 file server.

  Since the upgrade, users (including myself) cannot open a PDF of the file server.  If I double click on a PDF file, it opens as usual, but if I double click a different PDF, the acrobat reader flashes (in the Task Manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and stops) but the second document does not open.

  If I close the first document and then try and open the other, and then it opens without any problem.

  This only affected the opening of files on the new file server, opening several files on a local disk is very good.

  If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open several documents of the file server.  I would prefer not to have to do.

  Users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.

  Does anyone have any ideas, it may be the cause?  And does anyone have one solution other than to disable the protected mode?

  Thank you

  Joe

  Hello

  Try the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and check if the problem still exists or goes.

  It can be downloaded from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

• ESXi on the new server? -newbie question

  I intend to replace an old server with a new Dell 2950, and when I look at the version virtualized against the standard version there is a significant price difference that ESXi is free, can anyone tell me if I should really buy a ready virtualization server or just a standard and install the ESXi myself?

  I have used VMware in the past and the desire to try on the new server, I hope replace 7 PC with 1 high-end virtualized server.

  Hope someone can advise.

  Thank you

  Gordon

  Hi Gordon,.

  Personally I buy the server and install ESX (not ESXi) inside. It's just my typical setup. The reason why I prefer currently ESX on 'i' is that ESXi is not a service console and some 3rd party applications will not work because they require a SC.

  Although ESXi is 'free' as a stand-alone product, you have to pay for a license one you put in a cluster of virtual center.

  I prefer the standard ESX just like I know 3rd party apps ESX will work.

• Questions about the upgrade to the 4.0 unit

  Hi all

  I have a few questions before the server upgrade to 4.0 to 3.1.3 and install a new Server 4.0. We currently have 7 servers unit all current 3.1.3 running with digital networks. We are planning to upgrade a Server 4.0 and install a new server with 4.0 costs. This is the beginning of the upgrade of the entire company and my questions are the following:

  1 will update the AD schema during the installation/upgrade to 4.0 problems with the 3.1.3 other servers?

  2 since there isn't that one account of the unit currently with the 3.1.3 configuration, creating 4 new accounts unit cause any problem or should I / can I use the current to the unityadmin the unit account or one of the other 3 new accounts? I would like to start over again with 4 new accounts and not use the current service account and migrate to new accounts during the upgrade other servers.

  3. is there a problem to have 3.1.3 servers running jointly with 4.0 servers in general?

  My impression is that this is very well that I would no problem to start the 3.1.3 servers alongside with 4.0 servers, there should be no problem to use new accounts of the unit and this update of the AD schema should not be a problem for the old servers, but I want to make sure before doing the update/install.

  Oh, it's all run with Exchange 2000.

  Thanks for your time!

  Keith

  (1) it is backward compatible

  (2) creation of 4 new accounts will be fine.

  (3) you can run 3.1 (x) alongside with 4.x

• Host Agent pre-upgrade: run the utility to upgrade on another computer?

  Hello

  I want to upgrade vCenter Server 4.1 to Version 5 soon. vCenter is now installed on a W2K3 - x 64 server and I want to replace that server with a new material and W2K8R2.

  So I read the Upgrade Guide and KB1031307. I want to use the same PB and update.

  There is a point that I do not understand: the vCenter Agent pre-upgrade Checker host checks to questions about the agent on the ESX host computers software. It verifies if the agent software can be updated etc.

  KB 12031307 it is written that when upgrading on the same machine, I have to run the pre-upgrade utility.

  Under the point upgrade to vCenter Server on a different Machine and upgrade the existing database , nothing is said about running the utility to pre-staged at level or not!

  What I need to run in this scenario, or is it not necessary? In my view, the host ESX Server software is updated the same way, without worrying if I do an upgrade on the same server or on another machine... so I guess I need to run on the old server before you perform the upgrade on the new machine?

  Thanks for any help/explanation

  Best regards

  Roland

  So is it necessary

  • Run the tool on the old server

  Yes, we run on the existing VC server. If we try on a new computer, pre-upgrade installation fails because there is no certificate for the available existing Vcenter server file.

  • the reported problems

  Before the upgrade, we have to solve the problems if problems are identified.

  • start the process of upgrading to the new server

  Yes, we have to do the installation of VC on the new machine pointing to the existing DB server. Installer will make the necessary changes to DB.

  Its good to run DB pre-staged at level too, to confirm there is no problem next DB which will stop the upgrade. DB pre-staged at level details is available here.

• Preparation for the upgrade of Windows 2008 server to a more recent version of IIS

  I am preparing a server from IIS 7 to IIS 8.5 upgrade and installation of Wordpress.

  Based on my past experience with Windows, I just want answers before you begin the process of upgrading to these questions.

  After the upgrade to IIS 7 to 8.5 IIS erases from my old site, and IIS instantly crashes whenever I try to restart it via the services or by doing an iisreset in the terminal, how do IIS running again so I can recharge my virtual directories?

  After I installed Wordpress and IIS starts crashing again, how can I me IIS regularly rerun?

  When I get to the point where I have two Web sites running on the same server (which the Windows server documentation is both 7.0 and 8.5 are capable of handling), but it turns out that I can't get a site to run at the same time without the server crash, how do I turn to the second Web site so I can follow the two sites up and running?

• VCSA 5.5 to 6.0 grip upgrade during the validation of the 'connection to the source device.

  I mounted the ISO 6.0 VCSA, installed the Plugin for integration of customer and am trying to run the VCSA Upgrade Wizard. However, after completing step 4, the wizard hangs during the process of 'Validation '. In the web console, a JavaScript error about 20 seconds in the validation process, and the continuous Wizard never appears.

  It seems that we will hit a bug, but I don't know what is the root cause. We have CA-signed SSL certificates deployed on our VCSA 5.5 by using the procedure described in the KB.

  The JavaScript error in full is as follows:

  "Error: ele.resolution is null.

  A screenshot is attached.

  Replace the certificate turned out to be a little more work than expected. I created a new certificate (signed by our internal CA) with subjectAltName DNS =(vcenter fqdn) and = (vcenter ip) IP. According to the documentation for VMware, we only need a few commands to obtain these certificates installed, but nevermind:

  / usr/sbin/vpxd_servicecfg change chain.pem rui.key certificate

  has failed with error VC_CFG_RESULT = 650 code ("vCenter Server is unable to re-encrypt its various configuration settings", see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2057248). I also replaced the certificate of service inventory according to the documentation, but the vmware-vpxd service would not start again. The /var/log/vmware/vpx/vpxd.log file has an explanation:

  [- info "utilvpxdVdb"] [VpxdVdb::SetDBType] DSN connection: VMware VirtualCenter with vc username

  [- error "commonvpxCrypt"] [VpxKey::Decrypt] broken crypto: error: 0407109F:rsa routines: RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_2:pkcs decoding error

  [- error "commonvpxCertificate"] [VpxdCert] Unable to decrypt the password: key to encrypted data application failed (probably the wrong key)

  [- error "utilvpxdVdb"] [VpxdVdb::SetDBType]: database error: ODBC error: (00000).

  [- error "Default"] Error obtaining configuration information from the database

  [- error "vpxdvpxdMain"] [Init] Init failed: VpxdVdb::Init (VpxdVdb::GetVcVdbInstId (), false, false, NULL)

  In other words, the database password cannot be read. Since the VCSA, the password is available in clear of /etc/vmware-vpx/vcdb.properties we can just run vpxd Pei to encrypt the password again in the vpxd configuration file. This does not solve the problem with vpxd immediately although:

  [- info "utilvpxdVdb"] [VpxdVdb::SetDBType] DSN connection: VMware VirtualCenter with vc username

  [- info "Default"] [VdbSchemaLoader::LookupSchemaFromDB] Schema information and responsible for DB index

  [- error "linuxvpxLdap_linux"] [LdapBackup] A new attempt to link (1/10 attempts) in 10 seconds

  Now the problem is with the LDAP (SSO) password. We will re-encrypt that hand as well. Start by getting the SSO return of decryption password using the old key:

  grep "^ mot_passe =' /etc/vmware-vpx/instance.cfg.certChange |" Cup-c 9 - | TR-d '-' | Base64 d | Python-c "import sys".

  data = sys.stdin.read)

  data_len = len (data)

  I'm in range (data_len):

  sys.stdout.Write(Data[data_len-i-1])

  " | OpenSSL rsautl-/ssl/old.key inkey - pkcs - decrypt

  Then re - encrypt the password with the new key:

  echo - n decrypted word of past | OpenSSL rsautl-/etc/vmware-vpx/ssl/rui.key inkey - pkcs - encrypt | Python-c "import sys".

  data = sys.stdin.read)

  data_len = len (data)

  I'm in range (data_len):

  sys.stdout.Write(Data[data_len-i-1])

  " | Base64-w0 | SED / = / \ / g ='

  We put this value encrypted as mot_passe = in the configuration etc/vmware-vpx/instance.cfg file.

  Today, vmware-vpxd will start correctly (I rebooted just to be sure) and the VCSA Upgrade Wizard migrated from the instance, including the complete inventory, without problems. Now all that remains is to find How to install customized VCSA 6.0 SSL certificates.

• Discovers the connection Server 5.2 upgrade error "user lacks sufficient privileges.

  Yesterday, I posted a problem I had with the upgrade of the composer, which has now been resolved. The next step is the upgrade of the connection to the server, but I ran into an issue here as well. When running the executable of 5.2, I receive an error message regarding the user's permissions. The message I get is:

  "The currently logged-on user has sufficient privileges on the existing instance of Directory Services. Please log in as a user with administrator display rights and then try to use this facility. "(screenshot attached)

  I am connected to 2 k 8 R2 Server under an account that has Local Admin and Admin View Doman Admin privileges. By examining the log file for the installation to fail, I noticed these lines toward the end:

  ...

  serverInstUtil: 04/04/13 10:30:46 DN = or = Groups, dc = vdi, dc is vmware, dc = int
  serverInstUtil: 04/04/13 10:30:46 LDAP search failed - 32 (No Such Object).
  serverInstUtil: 04/04/13 10:30:46 ERROR: the user does not have administrator display on the LDAP instance existing rights.
  serverInstUtil: 04/04/13 10:30:48 end Logging

  ...

  It tries to authenticate with some local LDAP, rather than the internal LDAP protocol that we have specified during installation. Is this a normal behavior?

  I've never had a problem with the upgrade so that it is not a question of privileges display in your environment. Permissions for domain users are managed by the local instance of LDAP (AD LDS - formerly called ADAM) on the view connection server.

  When you installed the server to connect to the view you specified the domain user (or group) who has the full right to the environment from the view. You also have the option of specifying that all users of Windows local administrators to have full rights to view you want. By administrator-display, you can later add (or remove) more people having this right.

  Even if you are connected to the server as a user with domain administrator rights, this user does not have administrator display rights and that is why you get the error message. You can check by logging in under this same user administrator mode and see if you have the full right of the display.

• Migration of VCenter 4.0 to 4.1 on the new server - database upgrade problem

  Hello

  I am trying to migrate from a 32-bit W2K3 vCenter Server 4.0 to 4.1 running on a new server W2K8 R2.

  The servers have different hostnames and IP addresses.

  The datamigration tool ran on the existing server and registered the relevant question of config. I run it on the new server, and he acknowledges that there is data on migration and launch the installation program. This will go through the first steps and connects successfully to the db SQL 2005 (which is on a separate machine) via the DSN. Then, it generates an error:

  "vCenter server does not support the upgrade of database version 2.5u5 or below." Please upgrade the database to a supported version and try again".

  Thus, the vCenter database is in an old 'format '?

  How can I update manually?

  Thank you very much

  Welcome to the community.

  VCenter 4.0 DB is different from 2.5, for its strange.

  Check the DSN configuration if you point to the correct DB.

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Would this work. > What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

• Is upgrading to the El Capitan crash Server Apple Application?

  Only Mini server - crash Server Application after an upgrade to El Capitan, or it doesn't work until a patch is installed?

  My experience is that the upgrade using the App store of 10.10.5 for a running Server 5.0.15 smoothly by stopping the server, and then performing the upgrade. You must then open the.app and he made some kind of update and then starts with the previous services and settings as they were. At this point, that I reboot, no particular reason, it seems just too good to be true.

  Can I use Mail app to connect to the Exchange Server for email (the same question is for contacts or people and calendar)?

  Kind regards

  You must install the SSL certificate before connect you to the Regional service, the easiest way is to go to "desktop" IE10 open, go to the exchange server web access page, click on the notification of "certificate error" red and view / install the store "certificate authorities roots of trust." Then, make sure that your surface RT complies with the minimum requirements of security then connect to the exchange via the mail application server.
