• Uninstall fails after installing the Hyper-V role

  I installed VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 server to temporarily host some virtual machines. Since then, I installed the Hyper-V role on this server and migrated the Hyper-v hosts. Now I want to uninstall VMWare Workstation, but when I try to do it via the Control Panel programs and features, I receive the inherited error message: "[uninstall] error: this product cannot be installed on Windows XP or later." Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 are not supported. [OK] "obviously, this message is in error, but in doing some research, I have determined that this error means that the installer refuses to start on systems that have Hyper-V installed.

  Is there a version of the installer that allows you to uninstall VMWare Workstation correctly? If not, are there plans to fix this hole? I have to any other option that follow described here manual uninstall procedure? I don't trust the manual uninstall procedure because they understand too gourmet suggestions such as 'Remove your appdata directory' (see uninstallation manual step 5B). Uninstall Hyper-V at this point is not a viable option.

  It should be relatively simple to add an option to the installer to bypass verification of Hyper-V (and then use the uninstall option command in the seat).

  only chance: Add a bootoption on the server so that it can start with disabled HyperV

  1. At the command prompt, type the following:
     bcdedit /copy {default} /d "No hypervisor".
  2. The above command should say: the entry has been copied successfully to {guid}. Copy the guid to the Clipboard, including the braces.
  3. Now, type the following command:
     bcdedit/set {guid_hvoff} off hypervisorlaunchtype
     In the above command, replace {guid_hvoff} with what you copied in step 2. The command above simply sets a property in the boot entry that will not load the hypervisor at startup.

  then restart option not HyperV and uninstall

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• We get an error when I try to collect data from vCenter Server. But the Collection of Cluster works!

  There is no data for the endpoint collection... And I'm not entirely sure of how you added the vCenter object it... y at - it a calculation object named "vCenter? To answer your specific questions about the models, however, they must be stored on a cluster that is part of the tissue group for data collection to pick them up... They are not considered as a global entity (as a resource calculation). Add models to one of the clusters and then to collect data on it, and you should be fine.

• Cannot install addon off-site because "Firefox prevented this site asking you to install the software on your computer.

  I try to install GMail Watcher by Sonthakit. It is hosted off site here: https://sites.google.com/site/sonthakit/gmailwatcher

  Whenever I try to install the addon by clicking on 'Install the free', Firefox tells me "Firefox prevented this site asking you to install the software on your computer" and does not give me an option to ignore the warning and install it anyway. I clicked on the padlock icon in the address bar and activated all the appropriate permissions, but it will not yet let me install the addon even after restarting Firefox. I have just reset Firefox and use the latest version.

  How can I say grass and let me install the Firefox addon?

  It is possible that you downloaded the demo of creative cloud of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, it doesn't bother your catalog, preferences and personal files.

  Download the appropriate version from the link below and install them, your license key is accepted and everything will be fine.

• Choice of the database for vCenter Server 5 install on Windows Server 2003

  Hi all.

  We have an environment of health care small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers.

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers each with ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that the provided SqlExp08 is fine for 5 guests and 50 virtual machines.

  Us will never get more than that, probably.

  However, the server I want to install vCSrv5 on already has installed some Sql05 and Sql08 in use by other applications.

  These applications will be migrated to our new virtual machines later with their respective db.

  My questions are:

  (1) should I install vCSrv5 and use the provided SqlExp08 and just let it go at that? Should the PB is on another drive or should she be on a different server?

  (2) can I install using an instance of Sql05 or Sql08 that is already installed?

  I'm not sure about the impacts later when I migrate the few applications that currently use Sql05/Sql08.

  I'm not a DBA, but a dedicated database would seem to be the best.

  Do not forget that once our virtual machines installed vCSrv5 probably make much since most of the features are for large environments with multiple virtual machines.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  The VM 5 host 50 thing is not applied hard.

  If you use the DB delivered, it will be on the same machine as the CV.

  Also a database dedicated to VC is the preferred option.

• vCenter Server 5 install in a virtual machine or not?

  Hi all.

  We have a health care environment small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that install the vCenter server in a virtual machine has limits.

  It mentions cold migration, cloning and editing material are not available.

  He also mentions the considerations with the help of a distributed virtual switch.

  Ufortunately that he won't go into details.

  But there seems to be benefits such as the backup server and fast food when you use a virtual machine.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is one of the common design decision. now VMware recommended is to use a virtual machine.

  some of the benefits you can get are: -.

  The vCenter Server system can be revived in a cluster of high availability of vSphere

  VM resources CPU and memory can be easily resized. The vCenter Server system also benefits from vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) cluster workload balancing.

  You can easily save or create a virtual machine as needed.

  him as a physical Machine will be some disadvantages such as:-

  To ensure availability, you must purchase and use additional software such as vCenter Server Heartbeat or a third-party clustering solution.

  You must properly size the physical machine's resources.

  You must have a separate system and use imaging software to take a snapshot of a physical machine.

• vCenter Server Component install hangs on the installation directory services

  Hello

  I'm on a 64-bit OS of Windows 2008. I update vCenter 5.5 Update 2 and 5.5 updated 3d.  I can install the SSO, WebClient and Inventory Service very well without any problems.  I get to the vCenter server component and it hangs on "Install Directory Services".  I checked the vminst.log and I get:

  "Try to start ["C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"/c start /w C:\Windows\system32\ocsetup.exe DirectoryServices-ADAM/passive /norestart].

  
  

  I Googled that and of course a dozen connections to users having problems with installing the server vCenter on Windows 2012R2 lack the ocsetup.exe. As I said, I'm still on Win2008.  I have not ran sfc/scannow - no chance.  I tried to copy the ocsetup.exe from a Win2008 well-known to vCenter box - same thing.  Tried different accounts thinking I have a bad profile - no luck.  Anyone have a similar problem?
  

  well, too bad.  I guess I wasn't be patient.  This time I let it "hang" and it finally finished after almost an hour.  At least see the progress bar move would have been useful.

• where and how much Vcenter must be installed? as a virtual machine or physical host? -config is 2xESXi40 - CX4 - 120 1xEMC2 - DAS mode

  "BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION.

  I work with 1 ESXi40 in DAS mode very good and everything is fine.

  I have still a few servers production of Phisical aditional to be virtualized, but before that

  We cultivate our virtual infrastructure by adding a second Esxi40 and installing the Virtual Center software and license to use HA, Vmotion, etc..

  the questions and the thing is, if I'm migrating all my hosts physic to the VMs system, do I need a new physical server to install Virtual Center, yes or no.

  and why?

  If this is not the case, the Vcenter can be virtualized, and what is the best practice to do this.

  which of the following configuration might be valid, the best recommendation and why and why not.

  (a) create 1 Vcenter VM, located in a data store on the hard drive that comes a host of Esxi40

  (b) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  (d) create 2 Vcenter VW, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 2 Vcenter VM, located in a data store that comes from the CX4 - 120, ahd, the storage group created containds 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  Thank you

  MC.

  You're too complicate things...

  Do the vCenter as a virtual machine, which gives the requirements for processors, RAM, etc... Place it on a data store available to BOTH hosts. In fact, I would make sure that ALL s LUN where sit all VM are available for BOTH ESXi servers.

  I recommend also using a full SQL Server for the db, is not using SQL Express. If you have a SQL 2005 server, use it. If you want to future proof, vCenter things, put on a 64 bit OS (so you're ready for vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1). Having the SQL database on a real SQL Server (other than the server vCenter Server/VM) makes things a lot easier on the road...

• Not a valid Win32 - vCenter server application install on W2K3

  Hello

  We want to evaluate vSphere but stuck at the beginning, when you try to install vCenter Server we get "D:\ is not not a valid Win32 application" when you try to run the installation from the DVD.

  This is true on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Ed R2 and Windows 2003 Server Enterprise edition 64-bit. They are freshly installed with nothing on it systems. If I put the DVD in an older system, it works very well, so I'm starting to think there is a required dependency.

  I tried to install Windows Installer (2, 3.1 and 4.5), to no success.

  Any suggestions?

  Have you tried just copying the source locally and the installation of that?

  Seems strange to try, but your error message seems to point to the D:\ (dvd I guess)

  Are these virtual machines or physical servers?

• Can not join the domain of the Hyper-V virtualized system

  Hello!
  I have a domain controller active directory (adserver) in my ws12 network, and I have another physical server (server) also runs ws12 who is able to join the domain, but the virtualized systems can not.
  DNS and other settings are ok (identical to what is implemented on the server) and made the flush and registerdns steps. I even tried to add the host name of the dc and the name of FQDN for hosts files.
  I type in the domain (gczinege) and I'm able to type in the username and password. After awhile the virtualized pc SAIS: could not join the domain - not found network path
  I feel there is something with the installation of hyper-v or network server.

  Thank you all.
  I solved the problem, first I was promoting to a domain controller and to be in the area and that the installation of hyper-v after everything went well.
  Best regards.

• vCenter Server 4 install

  I'm at the stage in my project I need to install the vCenter Server.  I had planned on the installation of Windows Server 2003 Standard on a Dell Optiplex 760 with 4 GB of ram.  However, when I try to install 2003, I keep getting blue screens.  The installer wouldn't even start until I changed the SATA drive settings in the BIOS from AHCI to ATA, but I still get a blue screen during the installation with the message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

  I know XP Professional will run on this computer, but I don't know if I can install vCenter Server 4 on XP Pro.  Is that supported?

  vCenter 4.0 is supported on Windows XP Pro Sp2.

  Please take a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf for the full support matrix.
