• A duplicate name exists on the network

  Hello

  We are trying to install a 4.6 view environment and am getting an error on my VMs that a duplicate name exists on the network. The pool does not composer and is automated with assignment of the user of floating. I created a template which is Windows XP and on our field. Research on virtual machines that there where to create the pool, they each kept the model name VM's DNS name is following my pattern of naming. Is it possible to have virtual machine created by the pool GET a new name?

  Thank you

  You must use sysprep/quickprep to rename the guest operating system: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2003797

  I think that you can only use quickprep with linked clones, so you need to use sysprep:

  1. download Microsoft sysprep (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838080)

  2. you will need to prepare your sysprep answer file (it is a good guide: http://capitalhead.com/articles/force-sysprep-to-prompt-for-a-computer-name-during-mini-setup-in-windows-xp.aspx)

  3. If you are using the guide above and you let the ComputerName = * in place, it will automatically generate a new name for the computer for you.  If you remove the * you will need to enter a computer name whenever a new virtual machine is created.  Not exactly ideal because it is supposed to be automatic, but at least you would get a control.

  4. install the deployment tools XP on your server vCenter (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\xp)

  5 load your Sysprep.inf in your 'customization specifications' within the VI client.

  This gives you a name generated randomly for each virtual computer.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to make this name match the pattern specified in the pool.  I gave up at the end and switched to linked Clones as it makes the whole process a million times easier

  Hope this helps

• Receiving the message: a duplicate name exists on the network.

  I ran a repair Windows Home CD with SP1 on this laptop and I had trouble getting to the end. He kept giving error message - missing or damaged dll file. So finally, after several attempts and a few prayers, I was able to get through without having to run a Recovery Console. As I said, I was trying

  This with an installation disc which was old SP1 CD. So now, I have also installed two SP 2 & 3. And now I have an error message pops up saying: a duplicate name exists on the network (the).  I was told I could install a XP Pro Tools program, but I forgot to write the instructions. And he still appears whenever I boot Windows XP Home OS. Any suggestions? I appreciate it as this notice little if aggravating especially after all I wanted to do this work without an error Mssg.

  Hi Alweed,

  You can try the following steps and check:

  a. right click on desktop

  b. click Properties

  c. click on the computer name tab at the top.

  d. check the 'display name' of each computer in question and make sure they are unique.

  (e) if they are not, click on the button 'change'. (If not, replace the name of one of the computers)

  f. you may have to restart your computer.

• Windows system error: a duplicate name exists on the network.

  I get an error message from windows at initial startup. The message is "Windows system error: a duplciate name exists on the network." How can I fix this?

  What version of Windows, including the service pack is installed?

  After the error, can you use the computer to access the Internet?

  You have a home network (i.e. more than one computer sharing an Internet connection) or this error pops up on a computer used in a business/company/Office?

  Assuming that there is a situation of home, what has changed recently in what concerns other devices (computer, printers, game boxes, etc.) added to the mix?

  How this computer is connected to the Internet?

  Make a right click my computer and select Properties.  Then click on the "Computer name" tab  The 'full name' should not be the same as the name of "workgroup".

  The error is a complaint that another device on any network to which your computer is connected to has the same name that the 'full name' shown in system properties (I assume that it is also possible that the error reports that there are two devices on the network with the same name even if none of these devices your computer).

  Although there are utilities that scan your network and to report the names of connected devices, they are somewhat nonsimple to use and may not work on a computer that will expose the error that report you.

  If your computer is on a home network, share an Internet connection using a router, you can manually check all other devices.  You don't maybe not easily able to determine the 'computer name' no computer network devices, but it is highly unlikely that such a device, for example, a network printer, would have the same name as your computer.

  Just to be sure there isn't something special going, disconnect your computer from your network (or your Internet connection) and then it reboot.  The duplicate name error should NOT appear if the computer is not connected to a network.

• duplicate name exists on the network: can spy on me

  I get this error message on an existing when duplicate name that I start.
  I read the patches for this, but what I'm wondering is...
  Assuming that the name "duplicate" is another computer, we are related in any way other than
  by name and network? I want to know if Name2 (the other) is aware of name1 (me) regarding
  like keystrokes, passwords, navigation, etc. ? What is the possibility exists for a name
  'spy' on the other? -I'm on a wireless home network.
  Because the error messages began, an oddity came with them... many times I have to
  Click a button a second time, then wait for 1-2 seconds, whereas before, a simple left click
  has brought an immediate response. Are us bogged down each other?

  Let us know if the issue of the double name reappears; It should not.

  I suspect that your mouse is having mechanical problems. Are you using the left button of the mouse much (for example, in games)?  Or there may be a foreign substance (dirt) in the switch.

  If you have another mouse, you can try for a while to see if the problem persists with another mouse.  You can also go in Control Panel > mouse and (temporarily) the right switch and buttons to the left of the mouse - but this is not something you want to probably keep for any significant amount of time and if the problem occurs only intermittently, you may not be able to definitively determine that it does not occur when you use the right button to the usual left button functions.

• When I turn on my computer, I get this message, "a duplicate name exists on the network."

  I've had this name for years, what happened?

  Thanks for the reply.  No, the computer name and workgroup name are not the same.  Should they be?

  No, if they were the same, which can cause the error you see.

  I can't guess any further, unless you answer the other questions.

  The error is a complaint that another device on any network to which your computer is connected has the same name as the 'full name' shown in system properties.

  Although there are utilities that scan your network and to report the names of connected devices, they are somewhat nonsimple to use and probably would not work on a computer that will expose the error your report.

  If your computer is on a home network, share an Internet connection using a router, you can manually check all other devices.  You don't maybe not easily able to determine the 'computer name' no computer network devices, but it is highly unlikely that such a device, for example, a network printer, called "Lamb stew Computer" or else you might have named your computer.

  Just to be sure there isn't something special going, disconnect your computer from your network (or your Internet connection) and then it reboot.  The duplicate name error should NOT appear if the computer is not connected to a network.

• Create the pool a duplicate name exists on the network

  Hi all

  I did an installation of View manager 3.0.1 on a client.

  The I ve problem is that when I deploy a pool of computers from a Windows XP template, Virtualcenter begins to create jobs and give the same name to VM on several desktop computers. i. e. I create a pool of 4 desktop computers, I, made a customization of comments through virtualcenter, indicating that the name of the client should be VDI and check the option Add a numeric value.

  When virtualcenter has finished creating the jobs, I see desktop dns names are VDI-0, 0 - VDI, VDI-1 and VDI-1.

  VirtualCenter begins to create VMS by pairs almost at the same time. This is the reason why he assings the same name for 2 virtual machines.

  At present, there is no DHCP. the customization file is set to use DHCP and add to that the field despite this machine will not work.

  I don't know why virtualcenter deploy 2 virtual machines at the same time time.

  Could someone tell me where is the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  First of all, vCenter will always try to do two processes at the same time. You can adjust it when you added vCenter to view (the advanced settings allow you to adjust it higher or lower).

  Second, if the customization file requires DHCP and you do not have, they always miss and that's maybe why you get two the same ID (he's trying to create them, they do not, then trying it again).

  Download DHCP, first working to remove it so that the deployment can fully operate.

  And what do you mean by: '.. '. Check the option Add a numeric value. Where did you get this? Can put you up a screenshot?

• "Double Windows error-a system name exists on the network."

  Whenever I start the computer, the following message appears: "Error in window system - a duplicate name exists on the network."  I have studied this problem and the advice I found said I should rename my computer.  I done it twice - the problem persists.  "Quick Fix" links or ideas would be appreciated.  I'm using Windows XP (NOT for Vista).  Thanks in advance for your help.

  No, the router could not be the cause. How many computers do you have on the network? What are their names? Don't worry, I'm not laughing. My own computers have funny names such as Blackadder, Taliesin and James to name a few. ;-) MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• When I turn on my computer, when I log in, the computer tell me that a duplicate name exists,

  When I turn on my computer, on the start page of the sign, the computer tells me in one or two boxes that a duplicate name exists on the computer. Sometimes, when I'm working on the computer on the bottom right a yellow shield stands up and says that a duplicate name exists. When I click on it. He just disappears. I don't know how to solve this problem. my computer started running real slow at the start of this problem. I don't know not one of my kids did something, but they claim that they have not, please help me solve this problem

  Although you probably solved this problem, the simple solution would be to rename you the computer.

• Error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found.

  Hi all

  I have 2 systems. In one system, I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 and in another machine I installed Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. The two systems are networked. I am able to access and view the shared folder in Vista the XP system. But when I am trying to access folders in XP since Vista I get the below error:
  Windows cannot access \\hyd02
  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose.
  Error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found.
  
  
  I did the settings below:
  (1) file and printer sharing are enabled in both systems.
  (2) firewall is disabled in the systems.
  (3) in the center of security and network, the network is private.
  and network discovery is enabled, file sharing is enabled, public folder sharing is turned on, printer sharing are enabled and protected by password sharing is
  Off, media sharing turned OFF.
  (4) the name of the task force in both the system is the same.
  Can someone help me solve this error...
  Thank you

  Hi Sylvie G

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

  Are the same username and password on both systems?
  What is the share name you are trying to do on the XP machine?
  Let's say that the share name is music, you would get to it by typing \\hyd02\music

  Can you do a Test PING since the Vista PC on the XP PC?
  Go to a command prompt and type ping followed by the IP address of the computer XP

• Windows 7 network drive mapping error: "error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found."

  I recently started getting an error when you try to access my network drive. Attempt to fix I have also disconnected the drive and tried to reconnect. I get the error: error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found

  I am able to map the drive of all the other machines in the hold of the House (Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista).  However, the Windows 7 machine continues to report the error.

  I searched the internet for the microsoft Web site and answers and so far nobody seems to have an answer to the problem (and it seems to be a very common problem in Windows 7, based on the number of reports I've met in my search). I'm able to reach the reader through the IP address, but cannot connect in it (continues to re - ask for credentials and I checked the credentials I use are 100% correct).

  The only significant event was the address IP changed on the remote disk. What that tells me, is that windows is not updated the name of the drive to the new IP address and confounds seriously on how to get the player passing the correct credentials.

  I removed the protection against viruses (a suggestion said it was the cause), but it has no effect. Check my sharing permissions and so many different places that I could, but nothing has changed and all seems OK.

  The problem is in Windows 7, but I don't know where all configurations "tricks" are on the (64 bit) OS - has been used for a 32-bit system. Where can I manually fix the DNS or DHCP parameter for the name of the drive?

  SOLUTION

  It's a problem with Windows Explorer in Windows 7 do not resolve the computer name target to its IP address. It is not a problem with the firewall or antivirus.

  There is a simple workaround solution.  Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.

  (1) find IP address that the computer target is.  It is desirable to give a private static IP address to the target computer, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change.  Use the local windows help when you sit in front of the target computer to do this, if you don't know how.

  (2) when you are sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer, you want to access the target computer, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type------followed\\192.168.1.10 static address of the target computer, for example, and press enter

  If the target computer uses the name of user and password sharing, after a few seconds, you will be prompted credentials.  Enter the same username and password used to log on the target computer when you're sitting in front of it.

  The target computer will be added to the list of computer network Windows 7, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name.  You can access his actions as if it was listed by name instead of the number.

  That's all.
