Windows Services for Unix (NFS) and ESX

I installed a hardware with Windows Server 2003 standard and installed Microsoft Windows Services for Unix to use NFS for ESX functions.  I am at the section for the mapping of user names and I do not know what ESX uses for NIS domain names or what would my name of the NIS server.  We are an exclusively ESX and Windows of the shop so muchof the Linux/Unix stuff, I am not confident with my lack of use. I also have an option to use a password and group file. That is what I would be</span > need to use ESX with this NFS configuration?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've used these Services NFS for Windows several times just for the accommodation of the models where clients don't want to pay for the shared storage. You must copy the/etc/passwd and/etc/Group passwords on your windows machine. To DO this, use something like WinSCP or otherwise just copy it under linux in your store data using cp/etc/passwd/vmfs/volumes/Datastore-name browse your data via the VI client store and download these files.

In the console of NFS for Windows, you need to configure the user mappings, think about security here. But you can map an ESX user as root to a Windows user, you have given sufficient rights for sharing. You can choose the NFS server these files and then set up the cards. Then (from memory), I think that you must share the folder, which will have a NFS Sharing tab.

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

    Welcome to the HP community @rball007,

    I understand a computer running Windows 10, which had the printer installed using a Setup disk, now knows the pop ups. My best advice would be to uninstall the printer completely from a PC, the HP printer install wizard for Windows instead, to ensure that the most current drivers for Windows 10 are installed.

    Good luck

  • G555. Need drivers for Windows XP for SM Bus and another unknown device.

    I try to install Windows XP on my G555. I had all the other drivers, but can not find the drivers for SM Bus and an unknown device. And what is this device?

    The second problem is that, after I installed all the drivers, the card reader disappeared. It's there after you install Windows XP, before I install the drivers.

    Thank you very much.

    All drivers I have installed is. C:\DRIVERS. Discover yours. In the Device Manager the only smbus I found was ATI.

    Hello

    You have this toolbar? Some programs you loaded probably included such as the MyTatoo
    FaceBook program.

    Fast Browser Search? -Check this box to get the uninstall instructions.
    http://www.fastbrowsersearch.com/FBS_Toolbar/help/helpUninstalling.aspx

    Look for Search Guard Plus (my web tattoo) and Search Guard Plus Updater(my web tattoo) in Control Panel-
    Programs and uninstall then with FastBrowserSearch.

    A good program to use to uninstall those is Revo Uninstaller, because it will help emlinate each of them.

    Revo Uninstaller - free
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

    ---------------------------------------------

    After the foregoing:

    These and we may have to do even more if this does not prevent messages (they
    are boring and he had to be stopped, however, they are not dangerous).

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close IE

    Now download and run this program:

    BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
    http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

    Save this file in the folder that you want to keep it because it is not actually installed. Is a standalone.
    You can also download run from the download folder or copy or move it to another folder of
    your choice.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-right on - click RUN AS ADUMIM

    Look for any reference to a BHO object you do not recognize or work in it. You can remove
    everything you want them to be addons and you can always add them in the necessary cases.

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • Support for 64-bit driver for Windows 7 for Deskjet 6540 and Colorsmart D5360

    Or 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for the Deskjet 6540 nor the Photosmart 5360 supports the maintenance function is now impossible to clean the print heads. Two of these printers worked fine when they were connected to my XP machine. At HP dumbed down these drivers? Is there a separate program or sequence of façade which will do that for one of these printers?

    Thank you

    I do not know the D5630, but for the Deskjet 6540 you can do a cycle of cleaning of the façade, as follows: turn on the printer.  Press in and hold the power button, then press the Cancel (X) button twice, then release the power button.

    Note that it rare to * never * need to perform a cleaning on the HP cartridges cycle, it would be unusual to the same need forced into the life of the cleaning cartridge.  Perform unnecessary cleaning cycles will use ink and shorten the life of the printer.

  • New hard drive and cloning Windows asking for the password and end the session

    Hi all

    Need help please. I just bought a Cavior of WD 1 TB hard drive. I have used Norton Ghost to clone my old hard drive again. Then I removed the old hard drive and another to start the system. Currently, Windows XP was asked to enter the password (in my old drive hard, there is no password entry required). When I press ENTER, the windows log.

    Also, I tried to log in after you have set a password using ERD Commander (locksmith). I get the same result, that is to say Windows log off after entering the password.

    I am at a loss on how to proceed from here. I do not have the CD Windows XP that I bought this computer a few years and did not remember receiving the Windows XP CD. I don't have the product key which is glued on the computer case.

    Help, please. I have to activate Windows again?

    Ghost allows you to create a backup "Image", and then restore the image to the new disk.
