• 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.

• Server 2008R2 Task Manager will not run the task

  Hi all

  I have problems with automating a task on the server 2008R2, I have a limited user on my server which account is used to run a media server (Twonkymedia) and a home automation program called "Domoticz".

  Because I don't want the user to have access to the normal system resources, it always takes administrator privileges to run the program and access to the database, because I don't want to manually enter credentials of Directors whenever this user logs that I taught on the automation of this with Task Scheduler.

  I managed to create a task that toured to launch applications with admin credentialsb (simply by using the command runas in the path did not work) but once I connect and the still as the "limited" user task that has a shortcut placed in the startup folder does not start specific applications When I open the Task Manager to diagnose errors, she appears as running.

  Both users are given exclusive rights to start as a processing batch.

• Please help me. My task manager disappeared, also run the command

  I have automatic updated my computer this morning. After the update, I had to reboot my computer. After the reboot, my task manager disappeared, I received a message that it is disabled by the administrator. The thing is, I am the administrator. I tried to bring it using command run, but he went too. I tried the command run in the properties of the start menu, impossible to find. How can I bring back?

  Another thing, all my word files are now listed as files Visual Basic EDITOR. I guess it's because of virus. I turned off to avoid any automated scripts from script virus running, but then I can't open any word file, so I still allowed him. I can open word file after that, but they are still reported VBEfile. What is VBEfile anyway?

  Another problem, the automated system recovery tab is also missing from my computer properties after the update.

  Please help me, I'm desperate here.

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
  The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
  The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
  The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

  You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

• QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101__File Type problem! (Xp SP3) _ question: when double clicking on a folder in the search engine database appears and no files appear.

  -problem happens after messing around with 'file types' in 'options folders' BUT the records may not configured properly to correct the open method by setting the 'file type' back to 'open' in the file types.

  QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101

  History...

  I saw a tutorial online on how to change the icons of any file (text, folder, programs)
  In addition to the normal way to do it:

  The normal route was right - click folder, text, program or folder etc-> choose Properties > then choose Change icon

  The new way that I learned how to do that was - go to folder options in the control panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.

  The reason for me wanting to do other then the normal way is because I would like to point out that all RECORDS USE DIFFERENT TYPE of ICON RATHER THEN DEFAULT UGLY OF THAT folder BROWN ICON that windows XP USES

  the problem starts here... to (go into folder options in Control Panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.)

  Note that these are two icon files: the 'Change icon' button is available and highlighted on a launched the Advanced button, but not on the other...

  After messing around with New both of these icons of specific folder "Advanced settings" after closing and the application of the setting.

  What is happening now, it is that each folder I usually double-click thanks to my system all what happens is that the search method appears average while displaying no other files in the folder it self.

  I'm expieranced and you wrote the parameters passed to each "type of file"setting"for this purpose he adjusting back to the past and yet nothing happens...

  THE QUESTION IS >
  How to fix something like that

  &

  How do you get each folder in your system to view another icon rather than UGLY, LOW DOWN DIRTY DUNG COLORFUL FOLDER ICON DEFAULT.

  For the immediate problem:

  Search Companion starts if you double-click a folder or disk - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/searchwindow.htm
  For the desire to have different color records, you will need to use a third party software. Search on Wincustomize.com or similar sites that.

• Install PT8.53 with Linux question: connection process Data Mover and application designer

  People,

  Hello. I install PeopleTools 8,53 Internet Architecture.

  Server database is the database Oracle 11 GR 1 material.

  Operating system is Oracle Linux 5.

  I installed successfully JDK7, WebLogic Tuxedo 11 GR 1 material and PeopleTools 8,53 10.3.6, in Oracle Linux 5.

  
  I've been setting up of database PeopleTools8.53. Because the Wizard installation problem, I created PeopleTools 8,53 database manually by using starter PT853 Oracle database instance. I have run the following scripts:
  (1) utlspace.sql
  (2) dbowner.sql
  (3) ptddl.sql
  (4) psadmin.sql
  (5) psroles.sql
  (6) connect.sql

  
  Then, we perform Data Mover script in a Windows XP Client computer to fill the PeopleTools PT853 database machine Linux Sever instance.

  I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine and run it successfully.

  In Oracle Linux 5 Server Machine Net Manager:

  Service name: PT853
  Connection type: default database
  "TCP/IP Protocol".
  Host name: 192.168.196.102
  Port name: 1521

  Listener: LISTENER
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  Host: 192.168.196.102
  Port: 1521

  
  I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.

  In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same, and the connection is successful as well. Its details are as below:

  
  NET Service Name: PT853
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102
  Port number: 1521
  Name of the Basic Service: PT853
  Connection type: default database

  
  This means that Windows XP can connect to Oracle Linux 5 successfully. But in the computer Windows XP Client, Data Mover and application designer cannot open a session in PT853 Instance of database in the Linux Server machine. Its details are below:

  Configuration manager:
  Type of database: Oracle
  The database name: PT853
  User ID: SYSADM
  Connect ID: people
  Connect password: people

  Data Mover:
  Type of database: Oracle
  User ID: SYSADM
  Password: SYSADM

  Application Designer:
  Type of database: Oracle
  User ID: SYSADM
  Password: SYSADM

  When connect Data Mover and application designer, I got the same error:

  ORA - 12154:TNS: can not resolve the connect identifier specified. Invalid user ID and password for the access code.

  According to my understanding, process connection Data Mover and the application designer requires 3 tables in SQL Server: PSOPRDEFN, PSACCESSPRFL, PSSTATUS. I'm not sure the process of connecting to the Oracle database. I checked the database PT853 instance in Linux, and there is only one table "PSDBOWNER" created by the scripts.

  My question is:

  Can any folk tell me the connection process Data Mover and Oracle database application designer? Requires only one table "PSDBOWNER"?

  Thank you.

  Oh my, many mistakes action here. If PSDBOWNER doesn't have a line, it must be solved at the time that the error came out. The replacement by SYSADM first why? Why is complaining already existing SYSADM? Most likely, you HAVE created manually, where you shouldn't.

  Again and again the same story. And again, sorry to say but you should take the basics of Linux training, Oracle training bases and sorry to be hard but reading training as well to read correctly the Peopletools Installation Guide where all required steps are really described in details.

  I don't think anyone can help you across the network in this respect,

  Nicolas.

• I downloaded Thunderbird, but when I run the program, nothing happens and it will not be installed.

I've never used Thunderbird before, but I wanted to give it a try because the program e-mail, I use since nearly 20 years seems to be dead, and their society seems no more to support it.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally.

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.
