• Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

  Hello

  I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

  ##############################################
  #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
  ##############################################
  function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
  $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

  'Name '.
  "VM1.
  "VM2.

  "VM3.

  I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

  I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

  Thank you!

  Hi Vince,.

  It is like that I think because of your statement:

  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

  foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

  This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

  And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

  where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

  Kind regards

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

• Open a virtual machine to different hardware

  Hello

  I read in the documentation center, it's good, as long as all the files are copied correctly, to open a virtual machine on a different host computer with different hardware.

  My question is this, will be the new host with a different material, the original host, recognize the virtual machine snapshots, I had? I could not find that answer, and despite in collaboration with VMware for a year I never found in this situation.

  This virtual machines are very important, they have my TI final degree of engineering project, but my phone no longer works.

  Everything will work as before right?

  Thank you all!

  Hi, Carlos

  and welcome to the forums!

  You are right: If you copy the whole directory to the VM to another machine and open the vmx file in VMware Workstation it then you will have the virtual machine available in exactly the same State as on the old machine (incl. images.).

  If you want to have a backup of the virtual machine, then you can just copy the whole directory of the virtual machine to another location. It is perhaps a good idea in your situation.

  The fact that they are all less then 2 GB it means a split disc are rare otherwise they would all be all of the 2 GB.

  Whether if it is a drive IDE or SCSI, you can view the settings of Virtual Machines for both the Bus type and so pre-alloacted.

• What is the .rxe file extension

  Is someone can you please tell me what is the .rxe file extension?  I received the NXT robot autonomous OR (Switzerland) some files and their files have been compressed with rar.  When I unzipped brought the files .rxe.  I don't know what type of file this is.  I'm completely new to Labview, so maybe they are afflicted a Labview file?
  Thank you, Jon Hauris

  RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

  This comparison can also help clarify:

• Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

  We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

  1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
  2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

  We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

  It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

  This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

• Missing icons on the open file dialogue box

  I am running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  All updates applied.

  Problem: When you use the dialog box open file - some file/folder icons are missing.  Not that big of a deal, but introduce that dialog open file in an application they may crash.  I think this may be the cause.

  Details: When I use Windows Explorer, everything seems as it should be in the Navigation pane.  For example, I see Favorites and Desktop under Favorites.  The desktop icon is correct.  Everything is as it should be.  If I open Wordpad, and then select file open, the dialog box is, once again, as it should.  All the icons displayed.  However, if I open Word 2007 and select the open file, there is a strange icon for the office and most of the other items under Favorites, some of my libraries display one appropriate icon, others do not.  In the right pane (where the files are listed), there are no icons for files at all, they are simply empty.  I can select the files, then open them, everything works, just no icons.  It is not only the Microsoft Office applications that illustrate this.  If I open the VLC media player, select media, open a file.  I have the same thing (missing icons).

  I could live with that, but it seems to cause some applications (applications specifically Flash) to hang when I try to open the files.  For example, if I try to upload a photo to Snapfish.com using the Flash application, it crashes every time than IE when the open file dialog box opens.  Exactly the same happens using the Chrome browser.  Everything works fine as long as I do not open the open file dialog box.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello Jonathan Moeller.

  There are a few additional troubleshooting steps that we could proceed to isolate or fix this problem.  Just to inform you beforehand, if in fact it is malicious viral content on your system or base operating system files are potentially corrupt. I might suggest a repair installation.  This would be the last option or suggestion.

  -Open the prompt (run as administrator) and type SFC/scannow

  -Create an another user account (Admin) and check if in fact you are still having this problem

  -Turn your computer into a cleanboot scenerio to isolate if a 3rd party service is potentially the first cause of this issue.  Here are the steps...

  Step 1: Open the System Configuration utility

  ClickStart

  type msconfig in theSearch box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

  Step 2: Configure selective startup options

  1. in theSystem Configuration utility dialog box, click Selective startup on thegeneral tab.

  2 clear theLoad Startup items check box.

  Note The check boxuse the Boot file is not available.

  3. click on theServices tab.

  4. Click to select thehide all Microsoft Services check box.

  5. click ondisable alland then click OK.

  6. When you are prompted, clickrestart.

  -In addition, please try to rebuild the indexing function.  Here are the steps...

  1. go into the Control Panel.

  2 display All the items from Control Panel by changing the parameter display by in the upper right corner of thelarge icons or small iconscategory.

  3. Select Indexing Options.

  4. click on the Advanced button.

  5. when the UAC prompt appears, click continue.

  6. in the Troubleshooting section, click on the button to rebuild

  -In addition, each local user account have their Iconcache.db file or database is located at c:\users\Username\appdata\local\iconcache.db.  Please remove this file.  However, it is preferable that you simply follow the steps below.  Everything must be simple to follow.

  Re-create the file icon-Cache by deleting

  1. Each user has its own file named Iconcache.db: USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db
  2. Close all the explorer.exe process using the Task Manager (or else it will create a bad file during the closing session/restart)... Go to the processes tab and locate explorer.exe and right-click on it and select end process tree tree/end of tasks
  3. Use the Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) to launch the explorer.exe again... Once you open the Task Manager, click file, new task.  type 'explorer.exe '... All of your icons should reappear with the taskbar.  You may need to shut down or restart your computer.  Please check if you are able to see your icons with success.

  If you please follow on this thread at the earliest, I would be very happy.  I look forward to hear from you.  Have a great day.

  Thank you

• What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

  Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

  Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

  When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

  Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

  Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

  Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

  I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

  The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

  I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

  I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

  No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

  Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

  I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

• Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the system volume information folder?

  Original title: Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the folder system volume information accumulating [not the files system restore I already know and don't use yet]

  Hi-

  I stopped using the system restore, I found a better solution, for me, that's what I have to do.
  Then I noticed that several 'file system' 'type' was being created, 12 times yesterday, 3 up to today in the early hours of the morning and stored in they System Volume Information folder, anywhere from 30 MB to 2 GB.
  three of these file names 'file system' 'type' are:
  {debb21da-eafc-11e2-ba92-00241dc5d84e} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

  Anyone know what it could be?
  Can I follow up to what program/process they are related?
  Are they safe to delete?
  Ideas?  Suggestions?
  Thank you.

  Hi John,.

  Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

  You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

• The Clean Up Virtual Machine - Fusion 7.1.1 progress window size

  Having a place in Fusion upgrade 7.0.1 for 7.1.1 in the VMware Tools update and Mountain Lion, size parameters > general window that opens click the button Clean Up recommended at the bottom of the VM library extends horizontally at the edge of the screen of the monitor (27 '' LED Cinema Display (, Mac Pro 5.1) or beyond, so there to drag to the left to reach the Clean Up Virtual Machine button. This happens on all Windows virtual computer I tried on. I use merge for quite awhile (version 2 and later) and have never seen that happen before. Fortunately, it is on a backup test drive so my boot partition, always running 7.0.1 is unchanged.

  Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

  You have long strings in the Notes field? If so, this is a known bug with a fix coming - the format code OSX on 10.8 a of bugs that are fixed in later versions. By changing the text to be shorter, and then reopening the settings pane, you can work around it.

• The substitution of parameters of the device when the cloning of virtual machines?

  Hello

  I'm trying to find out how I can substitute the disk space for a HARD drive or the network for an adapter in the cloning of virtual machines.
  I thought it should be in the VirtualMachineCloneSpec, but it doesn't seem to be an option for him. I forgot something?

  Thanks in advance.

  So it turns out that the code was perfectly fine, the problem is that in my lab I have always tried setting disk space on something weaker than what it was before that does not work.
