Windows/Linux and the knowledge network Admin system is essential for VMware Admin?
Hello
I intend to secure Channel.
Kindly let me know if I need to know how to configure the routers/Windows or Linux networks as well outside learning VMware Vsphere stuff?
I am currently working as an Admin(mainly EMC SAN) storage, but I have very limited OS related knowledge when it comes to the network portion. I've never set up a domain controller, or configure a router or configure anything on a network.
Ask that someone please let me know what all should study before I try to set up a laboratory at home to study for VCP?
Or, frankly speaking, it would be better for me to not to pursue the VCP right now? Because what's the use to become a VCP, but not being able to implement networks etc?
Please let me know.
I think the best vSphere admins/engineers are those who have an appreciation/understanding of the layout of network, storage, servers, operating systems and applications - all the technologies that sit above and below where virtualization is located in a modern data center.
I was the opposite of you in terms of skills/background when I learned about vSphere and that I had made only small pieces of networking - but I made sure I raised my own bar in this area and has learned a good amount of storage as part of my development.

I'm uncomfortable with Miss having a firewall work on my computer. How to configure my Win 7 machine windows firewall to allow communications with my homegroup? I tried to restore the default values. This did not allow the communication. I tried to find the homegroup settings in the advanced settings of the windows firewall. No luck there.
What should I do to configure my windows firewall to allow network discovery and file sharing of printers and media streaming and sharing?
Hi stephanie,.
Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.
Looks like the Windows firewall prevents the discovery network, files and printers, sharing, public sharing of files and streaming media. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.
You have a third-party antivirus installed on the computer program?
Method 1:
To turn on network discovery
1. Open advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on change settings for sharing advanced.
2. click on the chevron to expand the current network profile.
3. click turn on network discovery and then click on save changes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.The article below explains all about the network discovery:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/enable-or-disable-network-discoveryIf any of these responses not solve the issue, let us then run the sfc scan and check if any file system is corrupt. I also recommend to perform a clean boot in order to find the root cause of the problem.
Method 2:
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
b. type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannowThe sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

My title pretty much sums up my problem.
I need to buy a new hard drive. All I have is the Windows 7 upgrade disk I bought for some time. I can the Windows 7 installed on this drive, or I have to buy a copy of Vista/XP to install and upgrade?
If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Hello
I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2415. I've read all the FAQS and I know I have to perform the SUBMISSION, but before doing so, I just want to know if it is normal to have a gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the screen. If the Windows desktop is not covering or fill the entire screen. There all around the smaller than a 1/4 "gap between the edge of the windows desktop on the edge of the bezel of the monitor, and this model has almost no bezel. The graphics settings in Windows 10 are set to use the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 monitor. I tried with different computers (all windows 10), and the drivers are up to date. The monitor is connected via HDMI since I don't have portable computers not with DP interfaces. Laptop computers have Intel and ATI video cards. I have check the put option to scale on the video card software and it is set to 100%. So, is this gap normal? Is the edge Office Windows 10 supposed to touch the physical edge of monitors? If the gap is not normal, I will perform the integrated test.
TIA!
Based on the YouTube comments, which seems to be normal. "But you must run the APPLICATION to see if the"smaller than 1/4"gap" appears. If Yes, then we can say that it is normal. If this is not the case, then some settings of the operating system is the culprit.

Format Windows 7 and the installation problem
Hi, I have a problem of windows I'm getting conflicting solutions when I search forums. I have a Dell laptop that I bought in 2008, which came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Last year, I decided to buy a drive to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Last days, I experienced a large amount of blue screens, closures, slow behavior and I finally decided to bite the bullet and reformat. My problem is I have more drive Vista OEM with me and what I read online the win 7 upgrade product key only works if I'm upgrading from a current version of Windows. Both products are authentic and I am willing to share this information to purchase with Microsoft. Is it possible to get a clean install of Win7 key in this case or any other alternative suggestions?

Original title: Windows 7
I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?
Hello
Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!
But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video. You should know that you got. Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see. This will bring you into the display properties. Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance . Now, click on the adapter on the top. Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.
You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.
I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.
Kind regards
