What NIC for Windows 2008? E1000 or VMXNET 3?
In ESXi 4, Windows 2008 SMV seem to want the E1000 NIC model by default when you create a new. However, after reading the KB on this (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1001805), is seems the 3 new VMXNET is supported for Windows 2008 (and Windows 2003 for that matter).
So, what is the best to use? It seems the VMXNET it the best choice because it has all the latest bells and whistles - but sometimes it's a bad thing also. The KB does not really say what to use, but rather what options are available... unless I forgot.
Any advice?

WARNING: I have worked directly on Vmxnet3, so I'm probably biased.
I advise to use Vmxnet3. More than a simple saw the latest bells and whistles, his overhead is also smaller than e1000 (and therefore its performance are better) and perennial is that further improvements to virtualization will apply permanently above this one. The device was tested intensively for months and the drivers that we provide are of high quality.
I understand the reluctance to use a completely new device, but you will not be disappointed if you give it a try.

Support for Windows 2008 R2 in vCenter Server 2.5 U4 and 4.0
I'll have no problem creating models in both versions of vCenter Server. The question arises when you try to deploy the model to the Customization Wizard help. Under 4.0, it immediately comes up as not supported (7 64 windows server). Minus 2.5 U4, there is no tag for Windows 2008 R2 OS.
Support for this OS will be released in a next update on both vCenter servers (specifically the Customization Wizard)?
Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 is not supported with vSphere yet but experimental and should be supported subsequently released but they're working on it. You can run the wizard of customization with Windows 2008 however, here's how the instructions http://vinf.net/2009/07/09/how-to-deploy-a-windows-2008-server-from-a-template-with-vsphere/

XP Home RDP for Windows 2008 Server Dot4 port printer not redirect
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
If you use a printer on a local system and expect to see door through the connection of the DRC for the Terminal Server services system, I think that you will need to have the printer driver installed on the server. We get only Windows Server 2008 systems, where I work, but for Windows Server 2003, what I described was necessary. So that my local printers appear in my Terminal Server session, I needed to have the printer drivers installed on the server.

Pavilian dv6:
HP Pavilion WB386PA/A5Z91PA #AP
Recently, I bought this laptop with integrated OS and software Bundle. I wanted to install windows 2008 R2 for SharePoint 2010.
After the Windows 7 Home Premium I have uninstall and installed a Windows 2008 R2, I could not able to connect the USB or the network.
It says "Windows doesn't detect a network for this driver." When I checked all devices through the computer to manage menu. All devices are yellow color except the DVD player,I tried to update the drivers for my laptop now. How/where/what download?
GUID me please.
Hello:
If you go into your BIOS under the system information window, you should get a model number.
Or you can use this scan to HP tool to see if you can automatically detect your model number.

ESX 3.5 U4 and U5 for Windows 2008 R2
Hello
I have a few questions about upgrading ESX 3.5 U4 to ESX 3.5 U5.
I have a farm with 4 ESX 3.5 U4 and I need to install several windows 2008 R2 guest OS so I need you to update to the U5. Is it possible to update a single ESX now to accommodate our new 2008 R2 servers and in a few weeks, to upgrade the rest of the ESX?
I think it will turn off the AP and the vmotion for these comments specific (2008 R2) but what other hosts?
Where is the update? Is it normal that I need to restart the ESX and boot to a CD?
Concerning
JAY
Hi Jay0,
I guess your question, you do not use the Update Manager?
Why would you only upgrade on the host and other later? Are the hosts in the same cluster? I recommend that they all the same version, especially if they are in the same cluster HA.
Although in the answer you're question about the pre 2008 R2 invited they works perfectly in a cluster with hosts U4 and U5 present.
The ESX host will need a reboot, but there are faster ways to update your hosts to reinstall with a cd. You can either copy the update to the host and use esxupdate or my recommended method is to use Update Manager.
Hope this helps
Mike.

Problem of ThinApp IE9 for Windows 2008 R2 Server Citrix
Hello
I'm trying to make a package for IE9 I'll be able to run on Server 2008 R2 running Citrix 6.5
so I made this package by installing a windows 7 ent vm workstation and I capture the IE9
now on this virtual machine with windows 7, this package work very well and also on my pc running windows 2008 R2 it also work correctly
but when I try to run on no matter which of my new citrix servers open IE9, and then it shows this error popup:
"A display problem (page name) caused Internet Explorer Refresh the Web page.
and then freeze IE9. (this happen for IE9 32-bit and 64-bit, my servers are all 64-bit)
now, I'm working on it for a week now and I have googled all the net and I found every article I can find on this error
and I have tried everything with no success
now, the only difference between my PCs running on windows 2008 R2, and Citrix servers are that my pc is a physical pc running Intel i5
and all my citrix servers running on Vmware esxi 5.1 platform and I don't put all windows update install on my pc and I have Citrix install all updates from Microsoft.
So it can be a hardware problem in the context of the article I found say that it may be related to the video card driver, but if this is the case how it works on the virtual machine with windows 7 running on the same server esxi
and it can also be an update from Microsoft that makes this problem or it may be something that I don't think and that I need your help
the IE9 which are installed on my citrix server run ok and there I have no problem but the IE9 in the package I build gives me this error
one more strange thing is that in my package I didn't enter any home page and when I run this package it take home page I put in the local server as my homepage
I also build a package for IE7 and present a work very well and there it didn't happen for me that the homepage on the server has been set as my package's home page.
now, I'm trying to build this package as insulated and uninsulated and it made no difference regarding my problem, or to the homepage that originate from the local server.
so I need some help here, and I need it ASAP
Thank you
Your
Tamir
Hello
I found the cause of my problem, after all the test I did has been updated to Microsoft KB 2670838
who get the users name in the net as the WRONG UPDATE
After I remove this update that are not at all necessary and is also define who you just have it as a prerequisite for upgrading IE to version 10
IE9 begin to work my package.
So if someone of you will have a problem with IE9 and time does take to load pages remove this update.

Re: Satellite Pro L500-196: what drivers for Windows XP
Hi all!
I just bought a satellite Pro L500-196 that comes with installed Windows7.
However for the use of the older software I need for my work, I want to install Windows XP from my old laptop.
I want to configure a dual-boot environment, so I use Win7 for most of the time, but be able to boot XP, whenever I need to.The support page for this model lists 96 drivers for Windows XP for this model.
Which of these drivers do I need?
And there at - it instructions in the order in which to install them? Or can I download/order a cd (or cd-image) with all the drivers for Windows XPAs far as I know, after you install Windows XP on a second partition, I need a DVD of Windows7 installation to fix the boot manager.
Otherwise WinXP sill only start.
My laptop came without such a DVD, there is just a recovery partition.
Is it possible to use recovery system to make Win7 start again or do I really need a DVD of Win7?Thanks in advance,
Jürgen from Germany> The support page for this model lists 96 drivers for Windows XP for this model.
> Which of these drivers do I need?
There is no required special installation order
But I would start with common as drivers:
Display driver, driver LAN, Wlan driver, Modem driver, card reader controller, driver for the touchpad, etc..The driver control must be installed before the controls (utility).
Try it simply.> As far as I know, after you install Windows XP on a second partition, I need a DVD of Windows7 installation to fix the boot manager.
This is right. I had the same problem with Vista and the boot Vista DVD to repair the Vista Boot Manager> Is it possible to use recovery system to make Win7 start again or do I really need a DVD of Win7?
Not because it s not the same thing.
The recovery image will format the HARD drive and partitions and will delete the installed Win XP.
