• "VMWare Tools: unmanaged" is displayed on the summary VI Client.

  Hello

  I'm building a Virtual Appliance using VMWare Studio 2.0, with Ubuntu 8.04 - 1 as the guest operating system. This unit will be certified 'VMWare Ready'... If all goes well...

  The problem is the VMWare tools are reported as "Not run" in the client summary VI. Anyone know if this is acceptable? What are the downsides to it being 'unmanaged '? VMWare tools that were installed were the default values for this particular os guest, who are the open-vmware-tools.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  As the author of the test VRVAP matrix / guidelines, I am happy to answer:

  "Unmanaged" is a valid state for VMware Tools and indicates that some other mechanisms that the classic "interactive/scriptable" VMware Tools installer engine is responsible for maintaining components ' tools '.

  It's what I expected to see most of the new virtual appliances, subject to the evaluation/validation via the ready program virtual VMware.

  Usually the State "unmanaged" is triggered by one of the three cases:

  • VMware operating system specific (OSP) served as http://packages.vmware.com Packages

  • Open VM tools

  • VMware Studio 2 supplied with OSP

  The salient bit is at the end of the TC 2570 VMware Tools - General.

  The basic set of operating system components invited side feature called "VMware Tools" MUST be present, activated and functioning properly. Additional information defining this requirement are covered in case of test 2571 by 2579. The version number and compilation VMware specific ABI to use Tools are not prescribed.

• Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. This process may be denied requests for some applications.

  When I start my laptop I get "your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. This process may be denied requests for some applications. "and my laptop takes forever or does not open my programs. any help? Thank you.

  What seems to be the case, it's that your windows is having a hard time resize its file for virtual memory.

  my suggestion is to remove "auto" at that time, and then set a custom format.

  I recommend that you set the initial size of 2 and max at 1152.

• Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

  In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

  1. several icons for a single application.

  2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

  3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

  These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

  VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

  Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

  Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

  When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

  Procedure reproduce problem 2:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

  Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

  4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

  I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

  These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

  Kind regards

  Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

  The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

• I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  Hello

  You men user license, the registration as EPSC ports? If so, let's say that Yes.

  When one of the FXS ports as SCCP that you use an instance of user, or one of the available ephone register, so if you're wondering if adding to the CMF as SCCP FXS ports, Yes, it will decrese the amount of phones that you have available to the general public.

  On the other hand, if you use the VG20X with h.323 or SIP to the CMF it will not use the ephone instances, so you shouldn't worry about this.

  Is it possible to hide a conditional function in responsibility. Say it together a small number of users, I need the function display and for some users, it must be hidden.

  Hello

  The normal thing to do is to create a similar additional responsibility and using Exclusions to 'hide' the features you want.

  Then assign it to restricted users.

• VMware Tools upgrade fails with the error

  12 Pro - 12.1.0 workstation build-3272444

  Guest operating system: Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit

  VMware Tools: 9.6.2.31837 (build 1688356)

  Virtual MACHINE works fine except...

  Updated the VMware Tools, download stage publishes a message and is abandoned:
  Error: There was a problem updating a software component.   Try again later and if the problem persists, contact your system administrator or the VMware support.

  I can't find useful this question online resolution.  Perhaps this community can help find a solution?

  Furthermore, I also have a VM for 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10 who works with success the VMware Tools 10.0.1.357 (build 3160059).

  I need to run both versions of Ubuntu for software compatibility.

  Maybe you can try to get the packages of the latest VMTools from their repo upgrade server: filing of CDS - /var/www/public/stage/session-59/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/12.1.0/3272444/windows/packages
