Using the local CD/DVD drive... or even an ISO each
Hi all
I know that this question has been posted many times on this website, but I have tried for 2 last day now with no luck!
I'm sure that when I have this upward and running, VMWARE is going to be an incredible product, but I am at the end of my home and have a feeling that M * soft VPc is preferable so far (dare I say!)
In any case, I installed VMWARE ESXI 3.5 on my HP DL360 who owns 2 mirrored disks.
I can use my office administration console, but cannot install my first virtual machine. I tried to download a new ISO standard (downloaded from the site official license... windows 2003). The cd player is definitely working: I deleted and added the cd drive in the vm administration console and pointed to the ISO image. I also downloaded the floppy image and plugged into my floppy drive
If someone can give me a help on what I'm looking forward to get this working... I'll be the happiest person on the plant (well, probably not as happy as the recent winner of the euro)
Thanks in advance
Andrew
Thank you

First of all one that threatens this group with a remark that even remotely implies MS VPc is a better product, will get not only less respect, but basically ignored. That, in a self implies your level of knowledge about the software or even technology in general. Simply because you tried at some point and could do work, does not mean it is a better product, that means that you were lucky.
And since your CD / DVD works since you obviously installed ESX, the only remaining problem is you probably don't activate the drive at startup. There is a setting of the virtual machine that clearly allows the CD / DVD and allows starting, you don't mention if you tried.
You may be frustrated or still perplexed as to something like a simple framework, but as everyone has used without any problem, there must be missing a step somewhere.
And this ISO image that you have, you're SURE it's an ISO well known, because if you just downloaded and it does not test first, we don't even know if you have the right tools to work with.

Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?
Hello Mr President
I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.
Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?
At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.
For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.
You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?

Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7
People,
I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc. Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".
When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo. A few pixels logo show and then it's there. Any ideas? I worked on it for several days. Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!
Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer. After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive
I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.
Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.
Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
I need to download the drivers to operate?
It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?I'd appreciate any help. THX
The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settingsAs you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.
You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.
Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.

How to prohibit remote access vpn client to use the local DNS server
Hello
I'm on ASA5505 remote access vpn configuration.
Everything works fine so far, except when the client got connected, he always used the local DNS server provided by the ISP. How can I force the customer to use the DNS server configured on ASA?
Thank you.
Kind regards
The command "Activate dns split-tunnel-all" is supported only on SSL VPN and VPN IKEv2. Since you're using IKEv1, this command is not supported.
Here's the order reference:
http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/ASA/asa82/command/reference/S8.html#wp1533793
You configure no split tunnel? If you are, then you need to configure "tunnelall" split tunnel policy, and that will force the dns resolution and everything else through the VPN tunnel.

Am new to vmware, so if you need information to help me on what you'll need to tell me how to get
See you soon
Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host. Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port. Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network. If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine. If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.
Note: The virtual network Editor is not installed by default in Vmware Player 3.x and later versions.
==========
To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:
VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player. You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily. Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

weakness / strength to use the local system for vSphere services account
Beyond to create Active Directory accounts for the connection of your server vCenter to a SQL remote box, is there a better practical reason to create an AD account to run your services of vSphere?
The default is to use the "Local System" account. Is there an inherent weakness by using the local system account for services such as vCenter, VUM or vConverter?
Hi James. In the service using AD creds accounts can actually be very precarious - a little more info on:

connection to a local CD/DVD drive freezes
Hello!
I have seen this problem several times in the last days: trying to connect my local DVD drive via vSphere Client with a virtual machine, the CD/DVD button says 'connection... '. "but never actually finalizes the process. I think that yesterday I was able to solve this problem by turning off the virtual machine, remove the device configuration and adding a new. Now, even if I delete the device, the power on the virtual machine (i.e. the CD/DVD button is grayed out because there is no device), turning off the virtual computer and add a new drive, and then turn it on again, the reader is always displayed as "connecting...". »
Is this a known issue? And how to get out of this situation?
As this thread is always updated from time to time, I would like to answer my own question:
The problem occurs, when there is more than one instance of vSphere Client running at the same time. I do it often, as I have more than one Server vCenter to manage. Even if all customers of vSphere are closed, check that no process failed or suspended "VpxClient.exe" are around. Kill, if necessary. Restart a single new vSphere Client, and remote media will be connected.
From vSphere Client as an administrator is not necessary. The fact that it is running under a different user name is also probably the reason why that works.

Cannot get new virtual machine to boot from the local CD/DVD
Done a lot of research but have no solution. Connected to my esx Server 3.5 Vista with customer infrastructure 2.5, created a new machine and then it booted up and logged the cd/dvd drive of client (vista machine).
If I try to use Passthrough, I get a VM error saying I need to enable the legacy mode. If I change the emulation drive (do not see an option of legacy mode, all), the machine does not take into account my drive and trying to perform a PXE boot.
Any ideas how I can get this to work? He has in the past of this machine, but now I'm just bashing my head against the wall.
I really found the "client" machine of work particular during the installation of an operating system. What you might consider if you are in a position makes one. ISO and upload file to local storage or space on your LUN and connecting this way that will greatly increase the speed of installation.

Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers

This will refresh the default driver stack.Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
