• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• Host Windows system restore back up virtual machines the VMWare Workstation?

  Is it save to perform a restore of the system on a Windows host running VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with the premises of virtual machines? I just need confirmation that the VMs will be still functional after restoring the system.

  Welcome to the community,

  System Restore should not touch all personal documents, what configuration file and virtual disk are in reality. However, a restoration of the system can change the parameters of the application Windows for for example VMware Workstation. Anyway most that should happen is that you have to reinstall VMware Workstation in such a case.

  see "what files changed during a system restore?" at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq

  In any case, it is always useful to have a current backup!

• Newbie needs help in the installation of Visual Studio in Windows Server 2008 in a new virtual machine created in Workstation 9

  I'm extremely new to VMware and hope this is the right forum for a question as fundamental.

  I created a new virtual Workstation 9 machine and have installed Windows Server 2008 as the guest OS.  Now, I would like to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in addition to that from a USB key.  How can I get the virtual machine to see the USB so that I can run the autorun.exe installer?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Thank you anthonyrr.  That's what I was looking for.
  I want to score your like the right answer, but I don't no where to do it.  Needs to be done by the administrator of the forum?

• I can't ping any of my virtual machines inside the workstation 8

• All of a sudden can only run a virtual machine on a workstation to 12G, used to be able to run at least three

  After years of use of my computer, I have a problem suddenly as the likes of which I've never seen elsewhere.  On a machine that was able to run three virtual computers, I now get error messages when I try to run more than one.

  The message I get is displayed as an attachment.  It indicates only 1192 MB is available for the second virtual machine, I try to run.  See error message when you try to run a second virtual machine.png

  The preferences that I set myself for VMWare Workstation show until 9210 MB should be available for virtual machines.  See the preferences.png workstation.

  Who is running when I try to launch a second is set to use 2 GB.  See machine running virtual preferences.png

  Resource monitor shows also that it should be 5376 available MB.

  I'm puzzled.  What could happen?  How can I solve this?

  I am running 8.0.1 build-528992.

  find your config.ini file
  Win7: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
  XP and 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini

  and change or add these 2 lines
  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "FALSE".
  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '0 '.

  These settings should allow you to assign 12 GB of RAM or more for your virtual machines
  If this is not the case - I would switch to 7.1.4

• "this host is not no matter what networks of virtual machine, or you don't have the permission to access ' ESXi V4

  I'm sure I'll be stupid on this one, but what does do to ensure that networks of virtual machine?  I get this message when I look at network/properties of a VM adapter 1.

  When the virtual computer runs, my network card think the cable is disconnected.

  I went to the host properties and of course there is a 'Virtual Machine port group"and a"VMKernel Port", both connected to my physical card.

  I don't see anything obvious on the network are disabled or anything like that.

  Please give me a hint?  Virtual machines to run it, but without any network connectivity.

  Thank you

  Joe

  I had this on the virtual machines that I moved from VMware Server 2.0. I found that there is no entry for the "ethernet0.networkName" in the .vmx files Server 2 (and probably Workstation) do not seem to care and connect ethernet0 to the first configured network. ESXi 4 all confused. So for me, the solution was to add

  ethernet0.networkName = 'Hand Lan'

  for each file .vmx before adding them for ESX. If you have already added the machine, you will need to remove it before you edit the .vmx file.

• Need to know how to turn an old server Novell Netware 3.12 in a virtual machine on Vmware Workstation 5.5.3

  I'm a complete newbie to this. I have an old network of Novell server a 3.12 server and a ms - dos workstation running Novell client software. The underlying operating system on butterfly os server and workstations working MS - Dos 5.0. The material is old and fails at some point.

  I need to put everything in virtual machines. The ultimate goal is to run the Novell server in a vmware player on Windows Server 2003 and run the Novell Workstation in a vmware player running on a Windows XP workstation, so that the old, unreliable material can be discarded.

  My VMware software is VMWare Workstation 5.5.3 build-34685. The operating system host, such as reported by VMWare Workstation, Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600, Service Pack 3 is.

  I have a backup of the entire drive of the Novell server in a tar archive.

  I've never done anything like this before, and I have no idea how to even start.

  I'll need a lot of help.

  What I do first. ?

  3.12 is a version really old - I'm not even sure that it will work?

  .

  In any case - first try to create a 'new' installation of Netware 3.12 - if it works you can use as a reference.

  Try to set

  guestOS = "netware4."

  in the vmx file

• Failed to create virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 11 (test)

  Hello people,

  I installed VMWare Workstation on my machine Windows 10 and trying to create multiple virtual machines to test the object. I have done this before on the Windows 7 computer and did not face any problems, but this time, as soon as I gave the location of the file to deploy an operating system it comes up with some fatal errors as error BLK_CACHE IOERR if I have enough space on the HARD drive and everything is not going further. So, my question is if my computer has compatible with Windows 10 problems or there is something else that would cause this problem. Any help or comments would be appreciated on this topic.

  Thank you!.

  Thanks for your answer, Noel

  I was going through discussions in the community with similar and found subjects that VMWare had released 12 pro workstation that supports Windows 10 entirely. I personally installed it on my physical machine and it works. Here is the link for the release of Workstation 12 notes.

• Is it possible to rename a virtual machine built with vCAC in vCAC?

  I thought it would be easy enough, i.e., it would be in the Articles--> Machines and either of the actions/edit the option form the drop down. I don't see anything that would allow me to rename a virtual computer in vCAC (at least of the discovered elements). Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how?

  Edit: I suppose that just rename the machine at the OS level only is not good enough in this vCAC would not know the changes. If this is not the case and he would take the passage of an OS level rename, then that's also what I need to know. So this is another question I'd not be so: what happens in the vCAC if you rename the machine at the level of the BONE?

  Hey there!

  There is no option to rename a virtual computer after he provided vCAC, why would you need a computer virtual needs to be renamed if you have already chosen prefix VM, if you don't like to use the prefix works, you can the custom property to provide the name of the virtual machine asking for it.

  If you, at all times, choose to change the name of the virtual machine and the DNS name is also populated new name, here's the good news for you, vCAC detects him name change at the level of the BONE and rename the virtual computer in the vCAC console but the bad news is that the name of the folder to the level of the old data store that could give administrators a moment difficult to follow the huge list VM other virtual machines.

  I hope this should help you!

• Move the virtual machine to the workstation from 9 to 7 Workstation

  Hi all

  I have created a virtual machine (PBX) on VMWare Workstation 9 and I need to move it to Workstation 7.1.  I tried to create an ovf file using ovftool, but I couldn't expand the FVO on the side 7.1.  Is there anything else I can do to move the machine to the course?

  Thanks for your time.

  Martin

  "You can just copy the file to the virtual machine with all its files, this will keep even the machine virtual UUID and MAC address if you select 'I moved' we ' when you start the virtual machine after you have copied. However, before copy on the virtual machine, make sure that you go to compatibility mode (formerly hardware version) from the 9 VMware Workstation interface.

• Sharing virtual machines in 8 workstation

  Hi all

  Before the upgrade to Workstation 8, I was curious to know is the best place to put shared virtual computer is a desktop machine or a computer (Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2) Server?

  Thank you

  Alberto

  No, users of shared virtual machines will not be able to use advanced graphics on their dev machines.
  I'm not sure of the part of the license. I think, VMware workstation license requires only for the hosted operating system, not for guested operating systems. I mean you can build N number of virtual machines on your physical server with a single license.

• Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

  Hi all

  I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

  How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

  In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

  At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

  So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

  I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

  Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

  Best wishes / Saludos.
