WIN8.1 & Server 2012R2 resizing disks when Clone - Possible?

Hello

I would like to adjust the capacity of the disk "C:\". "dynamically during cloning.

Some of my clients need 60 GB disks and others need more than 200GB.  The preference would be to use the same model or the other.  8.1 both supposed to 2012r2 have hooks to facilitate this.


Is it possible to script, or am I Chase butterflies?


T

The name of this virtual machine, I guess that's running W2K12R2?

I fear that the cmdlets that are based on or use the Invoke-VMSCript concept, are not yet support Windows 2012 R2 AFAIK.

    Hi LucD,

    I've found a workaround:

    When I run the import-PSSnapin I noticed (with wireshark) a lot of traffic failed to WAN addresses, so I set myself, in Internet Options a false proxy (127.0.0.1), excluding the proxy DNS of my domain active directory name (so I can connect to the virtual center without going through the wrong proxy)

    Now is the time of execution:

    For all of you who read this, I was able to solve the problem.

    Through all the blogs I read, I did sort of a stupid Setup 4.5.2 on server 2012R2 error.  DON'T, DON'T.

    To uninstall the 4.5.2 version of server 2012R2 if you install like I did, go to programs and features, switch view installed updates and remove the update for Windows KB2934520

    After doing this, I was able to smooth sailing through the installation.  I realized that halfway through my troubleshooting, but considering the compatibility of .net usually I don't think it would be a huge problem and I though that surely there would be a vmware KB on such a stupid mistake but apparently not.

  • Server 2012R2 Lenovo ROK fails to intsaller to vmware

    Here's what they sent:

    It's getting into vmware, choose the virtual machine and change the configuration settings, add a line, and enter SMBIOS.reflecthost = "TRUE". It was my steps:

    1. Launch the hypervisor
    2. Click on Virtual Machine
    3. Click on change Virtual Machine properties
    4. Click Options, click general
    5. Click on Configuration settings

    I have this SQL query:

    INSERT INTO @DataTypeTable (name)

    SELECT the name OF @DataTypeTable

    That takes a comma delimited by the string and returns the string as a table.  It works correctly in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.  When I run this as a stored procedure I return nothing.  There are no errors, SQL or otherwise.  I checked that I am connected to the correct database and the stored procedure is responsible without changing any error chain which is reported of this stored procedure (that code is not shown in the example above).  Has anyone seen this problem before, or have experience with SQL/Labview interfaces to tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

  • I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but I do not have a disk when I bought the laptop; I don't have product key, however; What should I do?

    My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

    Greetings - Graham Durbin

    Hello

    Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...

    Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.

    See which is more easy for you.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    I need to reinstall Windows Vista, but it's come with a disk when I bought my computer.  How can I get a copy of it?

    1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
    The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.

    2. While the site of the computer manufacturer, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your computer, Partition Recovery and utilization of the partition to restore your computer to factory State.

    3. see if you can find a friend who has a Microsoft Vista Installation DVD. Borrow it and reinstall Vista using your product key from the computer.
    If you are lucky enough to a friend, here's the tutorial for pure install using the Installation of MS DVD:

    Under Windows, you can connect a printer to a computer via USB and be able to print. However, since there is no software for it on the HP site it's all what you can. Unfortunately, you will only be able to print using the USB method.
