• VM Workstation 9 - help remove network features

  Hi all

  I have a requirement to restrict access to the network of the Vm workstation.  I had already posted on installing that according the tech documentation has allowed it, however a member of the forum useful (WoodyZ) directed me to a KB which explained that the DELETION settings do not work in 9.x and that all options must be deleted manually.

  I thought it would be simple enough, but am always hitting hedges.

  I have done the following:

  1. removed all the config vmnetcfg
     
  2. uninstalled the vm NETWORK adapter bridge Protocol
     
  3. Select the vmware DHCP services and disabled NAT (should probably remove them)
     
  4. our program white list to block the operation of vmnetcfg.exe
     

  If I run vmnetcfg.exe on the start menu, it is blocked as expected, however when I run VMworkstation and choose "Edit-> virtual network Editor" to my astonishment, he launched.

  I removed the vmnetcfg.exe completely for testing and surprisingly it is always launched through the graphical interface.  I had rebooted incase it has been loaded into memory, but it still worked.  as a result if re-establish you a network and select NAT, it automatically starts the services disabled VM NAT and DHCP.

  Is there a simple way to remove the functionality of network manually, because I can not prevent them installation?

  Thanks in advance

• Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

  is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

  I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

  (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

  I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

  Thanks in advance for your attention

  We discussed some time ago

  Hi, I faced the same problem, and now I have corrected this issue.

  He was vmnet.ko, at least for me.

  Here's how to solve,

  You can find the latest vmnet.ko of /lib/modules/~previous_kernel_version~/misc/vmnet.ko

  Copy vmnet.ko into your current/lib/modules/your_current_version/misc folder.

  And then run vmware, if you fail at the first, please run again.

  If so, you can run vmwre!

  I hope this will help you.

  Good day.

• Core upgraded to 4.0 on Centos 7 VMWare Workstation 11 won't build the virtual network device

  As shown in the topic, I have manually compiled kernel 4.0 for my installation of CentOS 7. After the installation of the kernel (in rpm mode, followed the instructions here: How to compile a Kernel - The Way CentOS ) installed all 3 rpm, kernel, kernel-headers and kernel-devel and then tried to start my installation of workstation with it leads to having to re - build the components (as usual)

  It does not, when it came to the compilation of the network management module. See attached log file that it generated.

  I also tried to uninstall, downloaded VMware-Workstation-Full - 11.1.0 - 2496824.x86_64.bundle and re-installed with the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  aaand..., I fixed my only problem!

Restore these settings in any combination with other out does not work either. I edited the .vmx file and replace by vmxnet3 occurrences, and that no longer works. So far nothing I've tried has worked. I disabled all firewall and antivirus. Still nothing. When I run Guest OS Windows Network Diagnostics, I get the "your modem broadband has connectivity problems." However, I know that this is not the case. I also used the "Virtual Network Editor" to force the bridge connection to select the correct network card (in my case, it's the Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 wireless card), but still no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you

  So I finally the solution look. BitDefender firewall was blocking all traffic on the connection Bridged in VMware Workstation. I have disabled the firewall completely Bitdefender and Bridged Networking worked perfectly. I'll probably create another topic more precisely around Bitdefender firewall configuration to allow traffic network through Bridged from VMware.

• Missing network drive prevents uninstalling VMWare Workstation

  I am difficult to uninstall VMware Workstation, we reassigned to a laptop computer of a user who has left the company however somewhere along the line of the installation of VMware has become broken (2 services does not [authorization and Workstation Server], I tried the registry changes suggested here with no luck (: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2178663#2178663). To work around this I want to reinstall VMWare Workstation. When do I receive an error that Setup search a network location that is not accessible and cannot continue.

  ""Could not access network location"\\network_location\username\My Documents\Shared Virtual Machines.

  Can someone point me in the right direction for re-pointing to this location so that the installation program can complete?

  Thank you

  Roland.

  Can you not just quickly and easily temporarily recreate the missing part, do the uninstall and then remove the is no longer need for action?

  If not, look in the Windows registry or files in "C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd".  Or uninstall manually by using the information in: cleaning after incomplete uninstall on a Windows host (1308).

• Networking question in VMware Workstation / nested ESXi network configuration problem

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to set up a virtual lab, I setup a domain, a vcenter server and up to 1 ESXi host controller.

  I am really struggling with the network aspect in establishing a vmnic for storing shared, please see the attached screenshots and a few questions:

  1. Is a vmnic a real network map? or vmnic correspond to "network adapters" that you put in place since the setting of your virtual machine?

  I followed a tutorial and implement 3 NICs on the ESXi host, in Bridge mode, I tried this in my configuration of vmworkstation and I lose the connection to my server vcenter to the ESXi host.

  See screenshot attached to how I configured my ESXi host, screenshot is called 'screenshot2esxihost network', I run got each of the maps defined on NAT network.

  

  See also the screenshot of how I have my configuration of network settings in my VMWare Workstation, screenshot is called "screenshot1. the tutorial does not show how it has its editor of the virtual network configuration, but it puts its ESXi host NICs in BRIDGED mode, and I'm guessing that you can set this time within the virtual network adapter. If someone could tell me what changes should I make in there and on the network cards in my ESXi host, which would be really useful.

  

  My domain controller, server ESXi hosts and vcenter are currently on the 192.168.86 range, which currently stood at NAT

  See also a screenshot from the vsphere client - I don't see a vmnic "vmnic0", my goal is to be able to add a "vmnic2" for a separate storage network.

  

  any help would be received with gratitude, I VCP510 review at the end of the month and really hope to be able to get my lab setup as soon as possible.

  The vmnic is the rising 'physical' of an ESXi host. So with the 3 network cards that you configured for the host in VMware Workstation you will see under "Network adapters" and you can use them to vSwitches in the section "network".

• Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

  Thank you very much

  Tim Auluck

  I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

  Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

• VMWare Workstation 8 - network bridge

  VMware Workstation 8 on Win7 x 64.

  In Network Bridge Windows do not work. The virtual machine does not connect to the physical network.

  When I open the network Editor, the drop-down list "bridged to" don't show any VMware virtual network adapter...

  Abot any idea how to solve this problem?

  In Network Bridge Windows do not work. The virtual machine does not connect to the physical network.

  Please after the output of ipconfig/all from the host as well as comments (assuming that both are running Windows)

  When I open the network Editor, the drop-down list "bridged to" do not show any VMware virtual network adapter.

  That is right. You need to select this box is the physical adapter on the host, which is used for the virtual machine bridge traffic.

  Run any software firewall or on the host endpoint protection?

• problems of network with Vmware workstation 6.5.0

  version of Workstation 6.5.0 - 118166

  I have two virtual machines W2003R2 and W2008r2 in a physical host with Windows XP Edition family.

  The network configuration is in Bridge mode the two.

  No dynamic IP for both.

  Physical PC1

  W2003R2: W2008R2

  IP: 172.17.0.1 IP: 172.17.0.2

  Mask: 255.255.0.0 mask: 255.255.0.0

  No gateways.

  DNS: 172.17.0.205 DNS: 172.17.0.205

  And a virtual W2003R2 on another physical machine.

  Physics PC2

  W2003R2: (is a domain controller)

  IP: 172.17.0.205

  Mask: 255.255.0.0

  No gateways.

  DNS: 172.17.0.205

  Two physical machines have connectivity, no problem, Pc1 and PC2.

  Virtual machines have two connectivity with DC IP 172.17.0.205 and also DC for two machines, nslookups works OK.

  There is no ping between machines on the physical PC1 comments, well not exactly I have ping of W2008 in W2003 but not for W2008 W2003, there is no firewall and no antivirus, no, default configuration, I tried to uninstall W2008 and install the other W2003 and no results, so there is no problem of OS Windows.

  I'm trying to change the configuration of the network, tried to bridge, host, nat, custom, I tried vmware workstation version 6.0 and 6.5.3 and don't find any solution.

  Any ideas?

  Is there any antivirus running on the guest operating system?

• 6 of VMWare Workstation - not able to connect to my network "physical."

  Hello

  I installed VMWare Workstation 6 on my Windows Vista Sp1 - machine (host).

  With VMWare, I have virtualized a Win 2008 Server. The configuration of the ethernet connection is on "the bridge."

  I a physical NETWORK adapter on the host, which is connects to an Access Point Wireless LevelOne (with built-in switch).

  I am not able to ping to the physical NETWORK card to Win 2008 virtual server. Get an idea what I did wrong?

  Best regards

  • The firewall between the two? Turn them off temporarily.

  • The customer is using DHCP? If so, did he receive an address?

  • Post ' ipconfig/all' of the host AND guest, and the.vmx the file of the client.

• VMware Workstation 7.1.2 - Linux networking questions

  I am on Windows 7 and I have a Ubuntu 10.10 I can't accept an IP address. I don't know if my question is Ubuntu configurations or VMware. I have a NETWORK adapter that is set to Custom (VMnet7) which I configured with DHCP. My goal was to implement a custom network (VMnet7) so that they can communicate without an external connection. I added Windows clients and receive DHCP addresses without problem. When I add my Ubuntu box, he does not get the IP address. I have the set eth0

  Auto eth0

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  When I restart the network interface, he seeks an IP address by sending a DHCP request to 255.255.255.255, but never received an answer from, and finally abandoned. This machine has been downloaded from another system and pulled upwards. Any suggestions on the place where to proceed to diagnose the problem?

  I have a NETWORK adapter that is set to Custom (VMnet7) which I configured with DHCP. My goal was to implement a custom network (VMnet7) so that they can communicate without an external connection.

  FWIW VMware Desktop products already have defined VMnet1 for host only then why the need to create a host only VMnet7?

  Make sure that the client's network card is verified connected.

  What Linux Distro do you use?

  If the suggestion of sflanders does not then archive and attach the vmware.log for this virtual machine files and join a response message.

• Freezing of construction-2496824 VMWare Workstation 11.1.0

  Hello

  I have a Windows 7 x 64 using Workstation 11.1.0 host (assessment of the trial).  I have a Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 running virtual machine.  It is the only virtual machine running.  A few minutes after starting the virtual machine, the virtual machine and the Workstation locks.

  I do Ctrl + Alt + Delete and open the host Task Manager.  VMware.exe is always 25% of the CPU (I have a Core i7-4600U, so there are 4 cores with hypertheads).  VMware - vmx.exe CPU usuage varies.  My only option is to kill the process vmware.exe.  Then, the host runs normally.  To run the windows 8.1 host once again, I have to restart the computer, as it says the prompt is used.

  When the computer restarts normally that's fine.  But this time he started running slow after a minute.  I opened the windows Task Manager.  Once it is open (after 10 minutes) I found that the CPU utilization was only 1% or more.  After 10 or 15 minutes of looking around, I started to kill the VMware processes.  After that I took some to the host ran normally.  It's working normally now.

  The issue of freezing happened 4 or 5 times in two or three days.  When I kill computer vmware.exe always goes back to normal.

  I did a few things like proactive:

  (1) add folder VM to the exclusion list antivirus, windows search, exclusion of our backup software list exclusion list.

  (2) remove the floppy and CD drive from the list of virtual machine hardware.  I read that could cause a hang upwards.

  The event log does not contain something interesting.   I have attached all newspapers of vmware, I have for the machine virtual windows 8.1.

  Any suggestions on what I can do next to try to solve this further?

  The host is not lock it just the vmware workstation app.  I wanted to clarify that.

  Other than the VM Pro 8.1 Windows only other VM I have is Windows XP Mode.  I started the XP Mode VM and it has always worked very well after having worked in the virtual machine for an hour.  I then restarted the VM of Windows 8.1 and three minutes later, he locked and workstation.  I see two vmware - vmx.exe treated one to 25% CPU usage in Task Manager (I presume VM Windows 8.1) and the other with barley any use of CPU (likey XP Mode).  Vmware.exe also has 25% CPU usage as before.

  I'm in the resource monitor and to suspend the process vmware - vmx.exe which uses 25% cpu and now a workstation and the XP Mode VM work properly.  I then clicked on 'stop' the machine virtual windows 8.1 and has resumed the vmx process.  VM stop the 8.1 Windows workstation with success.  Workstation and the XP Mode VM still work normally.

  So certainly issue between the workstation and the machine virtual windows 8.1 but I am not a guru vm or work station, so I can't determine what is the question.

  Edit

  Repeat the question.  Is a wait analyze on vmware.exe chain in resource monitored and must wait on himself: "one or more threads to vmware.exe wait to finish i/o network." and "vmware.exe PID XXXX 6208" Thread.  So some kind of blocking of the thread?  When I suspend the vmware - vmx.exe running to my VM of Windows 8.1 then the vmware.exe CPU usage goes to 0%. But the wait vmware.exe watch chain still he waits on itself with the same message as above.  I then return to the vmware-vmx process and the CPU goes up to 25%.

  I can fix things without killing the process vmware or vmx suspend windows 8.1 vmx process, use windows 7 taskbar live preview for click shutdown (square button) and then resume the vmx process.  At that point the 8.1 windows vm shutsdown immediately and the workstation (with the xp mode vm) is operating normally.

  He has worked to find a few days but starting to give me this problem.

  Edit2

  OK problem solved I think.  Our IT technician installed Malwarebytes Anti-malware over another anti-virus/anti-malware program.   Which was causing the computer to 'lock' (run slow but cpu was near 0% so desire ' cpu loading) during start, sounds a different problem than what I saw, but it may affect both workstation.  Also my VMs used NAT so I tried to switch to bridged and disabled the NAT and DHCP service.  Featured two fewer services to run.  Don't know which of those (if any) was causing the problem, but after those changes it works (for the most part very well).
