• VMWare Tools does not

  Hi team,

  I cloned (copied the entire record of this virtual machine via scp copy) a virtual of Vcenter Vcenter 5.0 4.1 machine. But after turning on the machine (in Vcenter 5.0), is to show VMware tools are running up-to-date. Can someone please explain to me how I can install VMware tools for this virtual machine.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sisi.

  No,

  If you use standard options, vm will automatically update the tools and do a restart.

  If you do not wan´t to automatically restart the virtual machine, you may use the interactive update and open a console on the virtual machine.

  The CD of tools will be automatically mounted to your virtual machine and you could install the tool manual.

• need a script to find vmware tools does not not on virtual machines

  I need a script to find the virtual machines running without vmware tools?

  Hello, nareshunik-

  You can add an extra point to the filter to include only the virtual machines that are on, as:

  ## get names of powered-on VMs that either do not have Tools installed, or on which Tools are not currently runningGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{"Guest.ToolsStatus" = "toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning"; "Runtime.PowerState" = "PoweredOn"} | Select Name, @{n="ToolsStatus"; e={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}

  Hi all

  After installing the VMware tools, my mouse still does not go smoothly as before installing, I rechecked service runs, I don't need to hold ctr + alt to move comments to the host, or vice versa, I did uninstall and reinstall.

• VI customer reports VMware Tools 'does not work '.

  Hello people,

  It becomes very annoying. He started to arrive since I upgrade ESX server with U2, U3 and Vcenter Server of U3 U4.

  The problem is: from time to time, VI client, the State of the VMware Tools on different virtual machines (distributed on both ESX hosts) indicates "does not work". Can I open a session on the VMS, restart the VMware Tools service, then VI Client displays "ok". I wonder what causes this problem and ready to solve this problem.

  I apprecaite your help.

  Thank you.

  Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you must

  Configure it to your kernel running on the

  following command: "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl".

  Config tools... He'll try to compile tools for your kernel, make sure you have the kernel and GCC installed headers.  If the compilation fails, there should be a build any - any for the "vmware tools" somewhere on this site...

  What should I do?

  Looking at your mistakes, you seem to have an earlier version of the tools which are not uninstaled or tools are coming from another source when the installation program checks the files are already claimed. I first uninstall everything that claims these files and possibly clean/regen your db packace if necessary. Then, reinstall the tools and see if you still get errors with no alert clobber.

  The malicious software removal tool does not use an installer. As a general rule, when you run the malicious software removal tool, it creates a temporary directory named at random on the root of the drive of the computer. This directory contains several files, and it includes the Mrtstub.exe file. Most of the time, this folder is automatically deleted after the tool to the end of execution or the next time that you start the computer. However, this folder may not always be automatically deleted. In these cases, you can manually delete this file, and this has no adverse effect on the computer.

• The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

  I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

  It worked for me! Thank you!

• Quick selection tool does not work after last update Photoshop CC

  I've updated to the latest version of Photoshop CC, and the Quick Selection tool does not work. I am able to make a choice, and then when I try to make multiple selections, I receive the ball well filled, and then nothing is selected.

  I have preferences in the performance, the value Panel "Big & Flat" in the historical and 'Basic' Cache in the settings of the graphics processor. Thus, the operating system is up-to-date.

  I restarted my computer, and now it works. Don't know what it is, but it works fine now.

• Update Mac OS, now VMWare Fusion does not start

  I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 on Intel MacBook Pro and now VMWare Fusion does not start.  I've since installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled to Fusion 2.0.2.  That did not help

  I have attached the logs from VMWare. Any suggestions?

  John

  Hi John,.

  I checked your logs - thank you for them!  That you use in an accident in one of the Apple libraries (OpenSSL, to be precise), which uses VMware Fusion.

  I see a number of Mac OS X 10.4.11 users complain about the accident even in iTunes:

  http://discussions.Apple.com/thread.jspa?MessageID=8254606

  http://forums.Macworld.com/thread/105826

  They claim that the installation of the latest Apple security updates (they specifically mention 2008-007) solves the problem.

  Can you try to install the latest security updates, and let us know if this fixes the bug Apple?

  Thank you!

• DOES NOT UPDATE MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM

  MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT DOES NOT UPDATE AND I KEEP GETTING THIS ERROR 80073712 CODE.
  "PLEASE HELP ME"!

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/957310

  Above is resolution of Microsoft to your error Code.

  But it is perhaps not very simple to fix.

  1. try Method 1 to above website. Run (Checksur.exe) system update readiness tool

  2. do you have Service Pack 1 installed Vistra?

  Method 2 is in the list.

  3. method 3 is to do a Vista repair install.

  You need good Vista disc to do this.

  4. If none of the works above, you need to reinstall Vista, using either the recovery disk/s or the recovery partition.

  Save all data before you do, because it will be lost when reinstalling.

  Good luck with it.

  See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
