What is the best way to automate VM Ware?

Hello

There are two different options for automating VM ware

1 VI Toolkit (Powershell scripts)

2 SDK & API in a .net application.

Can anyone describe best practices?

R,

Méhul

OK, now I see what you mean.

That's actually what you put in the \[GuiRunOnce\] section of the unattend.txt or sysprep.inf file.

You can see MS documentation on what is possible here. See here and here for more information.

When you deploy a guest of a model with a specification of customization, the mechanism will use the sysprep utility to prepare the new machine.

Run once the option allows you to specify one or more commands that must be run on the target client.

  • V11, what is the best way to replace ImportSecurity.cmd

    Hello

    I've migrated my Server 9.3.1 essbase/planning to V11.1.1.2.

    I've used ImportSecurity.cmd to load the security on the members of the outlines and forms of data in Planning. But now it seems that ImportSecurity.cmd is no longer available for V11 (or I have forgotten install / configure something?).

    So, what is the best way to automatically load the security now in V11?

  • What is the best way to always increment at index 0 only for an array of multiple elements?

    The principle is to complete a worksheet of left right in the same line but the increment of the column letter only (IE - B4 and C4 etc.). Herewith, I adapted an existing example VI that works for an array of 2 elements (ie - B4) but does not work for a 3-element array (ie - B40, B50 becomes). Keeping simple, what is the best way easier to modify my existing code to always check that the size of the table and the index automatically return to 0 to correctly increment the first letter only (IE - B) and not the number (IE - 4)?

    Thank you!

    Barry

    Instead of 'index automatically to zero', why not just make a zero instead of the size of table manipulation-1-1?

    Of course it will all fall apart once you get to column Z.

    Also look into the Board of Excel.   Do not post question.  This is just a link to the other discussions related to Excel.  Some of them might give you ideas how to manipulate your cell references.

  • What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while maintaining editable layers?

    What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while retaining the layers in editable for later use mode? I tried to do in Acrobat, but it does not keep separate layers. I also tried to automate the PDF presentation in Photoshop, but it combines the layers as well. I need to enable layers from photoshop retain their ability to be edited.

    It is not possible at this time, Photoshop is not a page layout program and pdf is hardly a format suitable to hold several files psd layered or editable page layouts.

    Why would you do that anyway?

  • What is the best way to have a form of request for a page web app that tells you what element of web application they watch?

    In previous old web apps, I used the see a scenario of a friend, even if it was not ideal, it did / still works for the most part elderly. It's a long time I don't remember putting it in place! What is the best way to make a request for information from the page now? Any help appreciated

    If you have a form on the detailed view of the web application, and you fill in the fields, lets say 'product name' with the actual tag name as the value of the entry. So who will automatically fill.

    Given that the user has no need to change it, you can even hide the field filled with his car.

    This is a very common and classic situation:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    Just make sure that your backup on the external drive is ok: you should find a "backup.tly" file in the folder.

    Use the organizer of PSE11 to restore the backup of the PSE7: the first step restores all your multimedia files, the second automatically performs a conversion of catalogue in format PSE11.

    Read the note in the link above on the restoration of XP to the ulterior Win operating system. You can also restore to a location 'custom '. For example in a "C:\My new library" folder. Make sure the main folder is accessible to all users, and if you wish, you can move the catalog (database), itself from this location to the default location: Catalog Manager, ability to move catalogs in location that is accessible to all users.

  • What is the best way to cause a VM enter the pending state question?

    I work for a small company that makes a product that allows for the management of Virtual Infrastructure of a SmartPhone (BlackBerry, iPhone, Android etc.) and I want to test our feature that allows you to answer questions VM. But I can't find an easy way to get a virtual machine with a question! Then...

    What is the best way to cause a VM enter a State of "pending issue"? We have vms (200 x, XP) windows and some linux vms.

    The easiest way is to copy a virtual machine and it associated the file and when you move it over a data store different and you just update the descriptor entries + VMDK file VMX, one thing people forget to do is also updating uuid.location that refers to the data UUID store. When you try to turn on the virtual machine, you will always have a question asking if you want to

    (1) cancel

    (2) I_moved it

    (3) I_copied it

    Now to replicate this and always get it without copying files is quite simple and takes< 1min.="" create="" a="" dummy="" vm,="" call="" it="" whatever="" and="" you="" don't="" even="" need="" to="" allocate="" much="" space,="" 1gb="" thin="" will="" do.="" you'll="" then="" want="" to="" unregister="" the="" vm,="" right="" click="" and="" remove="" from="" inventory,="" don't="" delete.="" now,="" you'll="" need="" console="" access="" to="" the="" vm's="" .vmx="" file,="" use="" either="" the="" classic="" esx="" service="" console="" or="" unsupported="" busybox="" console.="" if="" you="" have="" access="" to="" neither,="" then="" you="" can="" use="" the="" datastore="" browser="" to="" download="" the="" .vmx="" and="" make="" your="" changes="" and="">

    I'll assume you have console access, go to the data store where the configuration of the virtual machine is stored. Edit the file and look for the entry "uuid.location" and simply change the first two numbers to do anything, say 11 and then save the file. Now return to the store of data browser and re - register your virtual machine, your VM should now appear once again and then try to turn on the virtual computer. If everything was done correctly, you will get a question arises for the virtual machine and it will not until he said.

    You can probably even write a shell script that will copy a backup .vmx file and re-save to automate this process as you write your script/program.

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4?

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have.doc format.

    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

    How to paste RTF or text Document?

    I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

    So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

    He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

    It is best to place any text.

    You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

    It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

  • What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

  • I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

    Hello

    The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

    What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.
