  • Experts on Windows Thin PC? Impossible to format CD/DVD

    I started to install Windows Thin PC on PC here, but ran into an obstacle. Users can not format and so write, blank DVDs or CDs. The DVD RW drive appears in the Explorer OK. I put in a blank DVD and get the following:

    -In Explorer, the drive DVD RW icon changes to indicate a DVD is in the drive

    -J' I try to click on the DVD RW drive and get a popup error saying that Windows cannot read the disc in the drive D:\. The error goes on to say that I need to format the disk before using it.

    -J' I click on the drive and there is no option to format.

    The problem is that if I take a format as a USB on my Windows 7 pc I can then make full use of it in the box of Windows Thin PC and blank CDs. I can write and elete files on this drive. I can not just format a void on the pc Windows PTC.

    This is expected behavior? If you run Windows Thin PC on a pc can format you a blank discs? I don't think that it is a hardware/driver problem because the drive is correctly recognized by the operating system and pre-formatted discs can be played on this pc, I can not just the most pristine format. This same behavior is visible on various models of Dell.

    Anyone have any ideas? TIA

  • MATSEngine_86.exe error?

    Hello

    For the last day or two, when I start my laptop Windows Vista I get a check disk at startup before windows logon screen.  This disk check always cancels well.  I check the connection to windows, thin and tried to drive my c drive.  He said: I can't do that while the drive is in use, but I can put up to make one when I restart.  I restarts and the original and regular controls disk run, the two cancel each other out.  I connect on thin windows.  I run a virus AVG scan and it recovers a corrupted file - MATSEngine_x86.exe.

    The only changes I made for my laptop in the last days since the problem started is the installation of AVG 2011.  I don't know how to fix this corrupted file and I wonder if it is the source of these verifications of the failed drive.

    Kind regards

    PS - I can't use the rolback system feature that requires a successful disk check - which I cannot do.

    Hello

    By canceled, I mean that after the BIOS at startup it would go to the disk check, and then a second later say check disk cancelled without any input from me.

    I had enough trouble so I restored my laptop to the original image and it works fine now.

    Thanks anyway,

    Kind regards

  • Problems with audio/video streaming with USB devices on zero clients

    Hello:
    We are using view 6.1.1 in our environment and problems getting audio/video streaming to work well with the USB headsets, with zero customers.  Helmets are Jabra Link 360 and customers zero Samsung NC241.  Helmets are used as well for the phones to Jabber and also as audio device by default.   We started with the audio driver Teradici and everything seemed to work well, except that users could not answer calls on the headset itself with the button on the headset.  They were able to answer the calls of Windows though and the part worked fine.  In order to get the physical button to work, we had to first fill the USB receiver they use on the zero clients so that Windows will see as the device Jabra 360 and not the audio device Teradici.  Then we had the EHCI USB mode on them as well, and after that he started to work very well.  However, the helmets also serve as the audio device main as well as the communication (phone) device, with audio streaming continuously throughout the day.  With the current configuration, audio streaming will cut in and out during the day, and audio/video is not always to stay in either phase.

    I also applied the registry in this KB hack, VMware KB: improvement in audio quality when you use speakers or USB headsets with a desktop VMware view Horizon 5.2 , which helped clear up Crackle that we originally with the part phone headsets.  But there is still the issue of streaming audio.

    I wonder if the effectiveness of the bridging USB is not as effective and also is there a way to make this work better?  I read that the use of the pilot Teradici is supposed to help with audio/video problems, but do not know how that can be applied to USB devices as we use.  I've been reading upward on Teradici audio/video settings, but do not know where to go from there.  I was hoping that there are some best practices to use USB headsets with a view, but so far I'm not finding anything useful.

    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    We were finally getting help by the people of Cisco after validation in the here and even open a support ticket with VMware, which was open for more than a month without will.  Where others try to implement similar, here are our findings:

    • Zero clients combine traffic USB and PCoIP.  It is not good when there is a lot of audio/video/USB traffic, especially the USB headsets that also carry audio softphone.  In our case, the USB traffic was so dense that it was causing audio and video become troubled and freeze and eventually cause the pcoip_server service to break in the virtual machine itself and cause the client disconnect.  The fix?  Don't use customers zero with USB phones software, they are not just designed for this type of solution.
    • Thin clients are much better designed for USB softphones.  In our case, we used the Cisco VXME client, which is the method of support for the use of Windows thin clients with the client of the Horizon.  There is integration between the two products that isolates the VOIP traffic out of the virtual machine and keeps it local on the client itself.  Regular audio and video traffic still go through the virtual machine using Teradici or VMware RTAV driver.

    Hope this helps others who may run this question.  One thing we did not try was a wired headset using the AV sockets on the zero client and Teradici audio driver.  This can work, but our needs here were the headphones must be bluetooth, so we were forced to stick with USB.

  • Questions and answers backing up/cloning a VM NFS

    Situation :

    1. I use vsphere 5.1 with thin VM.
    2. I will only use virtual machines for backup targets.
    3. I am currently using Windows 2003 Server VM, projecting an NFS volume, to back up to.  A big advantage of this is NTFS compression.  The problem is from 2003 and 2008 cannot manage virtual machines without running frequently in file size problems.  Example: I have a 1 TB NTFS compressed volume I export as a NFS volume.  It has 667 GB of free space.  If I clone a virtual machine that has a declared 80 GB size and a slim waist 42 GB, is the command and the result:

    # vmkfstools-i d inh.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-2/backups/server1/inh/inh-2014-03-19_05-22-41/inh.vmdk

    Destination disk format: thin provisioned VMFS

    Cloning disk "inh.vmdk"...

    Clone: 78% of fact. Impossible to clone the drive: there is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13)
    A few days later, after a few copy and delete could start working again, or I can run chkdsk on it, and he will back up again.  You can run the chkdsk command 10 times in a row and getting errors every time.  Microsoft knows the problem, did not fix, it has not been set, and if they have not fixed now, I doubt they will ever be, because those aren't their current products.  At the time virtualization and files of several gigabytes were not a market reality.
    4. I read that ESXi is default for thin then copy to NFS, and I specify in vmkfstools when you are copying anyway.
    5. to correct my backup file of the size matters, I thought I'd use a? NIX to replace 2003 as the VM NFS for backup.  It seems? NIX is no good compression options.  ZFS looks like its as good as it gets, and from what I've read, it's great to manage a large number of data and records, but slow and a resource hog for this type of work.
    6. I decided just thin backup would be good enough, and I could go out without compression.  However, when I tested the backups on the NFS volumes, they used their full size declared.  Here are the results of these measures.

    As backed up to a volume of Windows Server 2003 NFS
    # ls - l fstop - flat hard
    -rw - 1 root 42949672 85899345920 Mar 14 06:53 fstop - flat hard

    # stat fstop - flat hard
    File: fstop - flat hard
    Size: 85899345920 blocks: block IO 167772160: 131072 regular file

    Calculation:
    167772160 * 512 = 85,899,345,920
    85,899,345,920/1024/1024/1024 = 80 GB (full size, not thin)


    Same virtual machine running on VMFS Volume:

    # ls-l fstop - flat hard
    -rw - 1 root root 85899345920 15 March 23:11 fstop - flat hard

    # stat fstop - flat hard
    File: fstop - flat hard
    Size: 85899345920 blocks: 124723200 IO block: 131072 regular file

    Calculation:
    124723200 * 512 = 63,858,278,400
    63,858,278,400/1024/1024/1024 = 59.47265625 (thin) GB


    Another VM saved on a compressed volume of NFS for Windows Server 2003

    -inh - flat hard has a declared 80 GB size

    -As thin on VMFS, it has a size of 38,72 GB
    -Also supported up to a window thin hard, with NTFS compression, projected as an NFS share is 19.26 GB

    Analysis/thoughts:

    1. the VMware docs state that, by default, VMDK made on an NFS volume are slim.  In fact, when I backup my thin VMs to an NFS share and restore to a file system vmfs, the hard just thin back, so there is no doubt that it is stored as thin.


    2. even if a hard backed up on an NFS share is thin, unlike under vmfs, a thin hard residing on a NFS volume consumes all of the blocks required by its size declared.  FOR EXAMPLE we have a VM said thin with a size of 80 GB, which uses 59,47 Go on a vmfs volume, but when saved on a store NFS, there are 80 GB of disk space each time.  On a 250 GB NFS volume, so there room for not more than 3 backups.

    3. the only way to effectively store backups on a volume of NFS is whether this volume supports compression.  The only solid choices in this area seem to be NTFS and ZFS. ZFS is to consume a lot of resources because of all the other things, it was designed to do.  If I was going to ZFS, I would probably just add to an existing FreeBSD VM. I don't need all the stuff done FreeNAS.  Windows through 2008 have problems with large files.  I have not tried Windows 2012.

    Question:
    At this point, I think to try a Windows VM to 2012 to take the place of VM Windows 2003 to see if 2012 has beaten the problems of file size of volume.  In 2012, virtualization was hot, and so I guess that he could not have the problem with large files.  Everyone using one? NIX VM for this assignment which is effective, reliable and supports compression?

    Thank you!

    Forward:
    I installed a Server Microsoft 2012 64 VM today to serve as the target of compressed backup NFS to determine if they have fixed the problem with large files which is rampant in the 2 K - 2008 R2 and learned by doing more tests and more.

    2012 compressed Server NFS volume tests:

    Backup on compressed NTFS volume projected as NFS
    * The VM has here a test size declared 80 GB.  The NFS VHD said to 150 GB

    -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/1/dstop.vmdk

    -When you have finished, stat reports he uses 40.23 GB

    -VCLI engages with the Go 40,23 and shows that I have 109,53 GB remaining in free space

    -Windows shows Go 40.2 used on the disk and 109 GB free

    Second backup
    -Size of the vhd is 80 GB, so there should be more than enough space to make a second backup if vmkfstools considers that the first backup is 40.2 GB and not his declared 80 GB size.

    -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/2/dstop.vmdk

    -When you have finished, stat says it requires 40.23 GB

    -VCLI agrees with the 80.66 and shows that I have 69,21 GB remaining in free space

    -Windows shows also 80.4 GB used on the disk and 69.2 GB free

    -Because the backup is complete, it turned vmkfstools saw all the remaining space on the compressed volume.  If such were not the case, there is not room for the second copy as we would have been short 10 GB.  (80 GB * 2 = 160 GB on a 150 GB NFS volume)

    -Doing a stat on virtual hard drive storage shows its size to be 121,93 GB, not the expected 40,23 GB X 2 = 80.46 GB.  Which indicates that, during the thin vhd for volume cloning compressed NFS, the VHD used initially full value declared of the 80 GB (40.23 + 80 GB + ~1.5GB) vhd.

    Third backup

    -From the second backup, we learned that cloning for the volume compressed all of the 80 GB declared value plus a few initially used NFS.  After the second copy, we have only 69GB of free space, the third backup to fail if our hypothesis is that a compressed volume Windows initially requires at least the size of the free space to successfully carry out the correct copy.  The 69GB remaining should be too small for the initial 80 GB size required.

    -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/3/dstop.vmdk

    -Command instantly failed with the following error message:

    «Impossible to clone the drive: there is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13).»

    Tests of corruption:

    GUI test
    -Windows scanned the disc and found no errors

    -Then, I did a stat on the VHD and seen that it has not changed because of the analysis.

    CHKDSK command prompt:

    -Then, I ran v: chkdsk /R from the command prompt and restart.  It took a long time to complete because it checks the sectors and trying to recover and re-map information.  I thought that it would increase the hard.  He did not.  This seems to indicate that vSphere extend and access the unused space of the disc even for chkdsk/r.

    Recover the thin space experience:

    -Deleted the first backup and subsequently checked with stat.  The size of the vhd has not changed of the original 121,93 Go as planned.

    -Downloaded and run sdelete on the volume. (Documentation, it is said, run it with? nix dd if = / dev/zero of = / [PATH] / zero bs = 4096 & rm f / [PATH] / zeros (I don't understand nor have I tried this command to see if it is correct or even work.))

    -Check the VHD with stat, and as expected, it now has the declared size of 150 GB

    -Ran vmkfstools - punchzero nas - 2_1.vmdk who went much faster than sdelete

    -Run stats on it.  I expect to be the same size, and I have to do a-i thin d vmkfstools to reach the smaller hard, but it was only 42 GB down 150 GB.  I got all but 2 GB back.  Curiously, the free space is exactly the same as before, 109 GB.

    -Decided to try to start the virtual machine, without cloning the hard to see if it would work.  It worked perfectly.  These two steps are the steps only recover space on a thin hard.

    -When he was in disbelief that it was that easy, I decided to do the-i thin d vmkfstools to see what would happen. It worked well, and it is still thin and still the same size.

    Analysis:
    -When you clone one - thin vhd to an NFS volume, it will use the declared size in disk space, not the - thin space as seen with vmfs volumes.
    -When you clone a volume compressed Windows, it uses initially declared the virtual hard disk size in space before it is compressed.
    -2012 server do not have problems with large files than 2008 R2 and earlier.  I do not buy, but the price is mitigated when you consider that you get two licenses VM for that price.
    -Recovering a previously too inflated thin virtual hard drive space is a simple two-step process.  (At least with Windows that is)

    Closed:

    The issue of corruption with versions of Windows server before 2012 and the mystery of why backups were not complete when there was apparently a lot of disk space, has been something that has plagued me for a long time.  Person here and other forums have been able to help.  I hope that my tests have clarified the issues, so that others can enjoy.

  • Thin Client t510 - printer redirect on windows server 2003

    Hi all

    just bought 4 T510 Flexible thin client. I have attached USB printer (Brother HL-2040 or a Brother HL-2130), but it does not redirect on the RDP session.

    I tried everything, to my knowledge, but without success. In the options of the Windows driver, I wrote EXACTLY the side server name of the printer (which is actually the same name identified by the customer).

    I noticed in the information system that the RDP version is rdp is 1.6.0 - 1.45...

    I thank in advance.

    I have the same problem but I managed to solve.
    I bought 10 of these T510 terminals, but with the same result on 3 different Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal different (updated to the latest patch).
    Only one of these terminals sold the year before worked and so I checked the version of the software.
    By installing the old version of the terminals intelligent Zero Client the new T510 work with my printer in the Terminal Server session.
    New version does not work!

    I tried everything... this add features such as storage of the password, the support for the speed, etc... etc..., but the printer no longer works!
    I think that the change in the Protocol version RPD to give me problems.
    Now I have one here in the office with which I am trying to understand if I can solve the problem with the latest versions of the software that I could use.
    We install the Smart Core zero Image Z6X41019 Rev 1 (March 7, 2012) and it should work.
    PS, You must put the printer in T510 in the driver entry not working also the exact name of the driver that you see in Windows.

  • Why my films are released in the form of thin and green lines when working in Windows Movie Maker?

    When I change the video, everything seems fine. I can see the video, I can modify it. But when I publish it, it becomes a black screen with a thin, green line oriented horizontally or vertically, that it seems to vary.

    I tried redownloading Windows Movie Maker (the link is on my Hotmail page) and it did not help. It's actually when the line is vertical.

    The strange thing is the titles on video and audio actually appear very well. But I don't think it's my camera because the video plays very well before I publish it. So what the hell is happening?

    I use a Flip camcorder if that helps.

    Here's a video showing the problem. You can hear the sound and see the title wipe across the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guL_l-YOz8E
