Workstation and the sharing folders

• Can't see the shared folders in WIn 8.1 comments.

  I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and I earn 8.1 as my host OS.

  When I set up a VM 7 Win, shared folders are working as expected, but with a VM 8.1 Win I can't find folders in Explorer.  Also, I tried to access it via \\vmware-host and \\.host without success.

  How can I see the shared folders in a Win 81 guest VM?

  Thank you!

  Hey Psi,

  I had a similar problem. Worked fine on Windows 8.0, but after modernized this VM for Windows 8.1, the shared folder feature has stopped working. Only after the reinstallation of VMware Tools, it worked again.

  Please note that a 'fix' on VMware Tools installation does not provide it, only a complete uninstall/reboot/install/reboot sequence makes this feature back to life for me.

  Hope this helps,

• How to reset the shared folders, showing network after modified/deleted folder

  System: Windows Vista 64-bit

  Problem: after files moved or modified, they persist in network folder, for example:\\my-pc\

  It seems that their ghosts never die. Even when I put the file back to what was before, they are not accessible, and read error message, "you might not have permission to use this network resource...". »

  They are listed under ' computer management > shared folders > actions ", but I can't delete them or change them.

  Why there is no easy way I can change the shared folders?

  answer: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  The only way I found to clean these entries is to use Regedit to edit the registry.  First the standard warning from Microsoft:

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

• How to force the shared folders to work?

  I have Windows 10 host and guest OS Windows 7. I have Visual Studio is installed on Windows 7 comments, and I'm trying to compile code that is located in the shared folders that I go up as network drive.

  When I try to do this with Visual Studio 2013, library file contains all zeros (binary, I see it in hex editor). It's a bug of folder for sure, because otherwise (no folders) compilations is OK.

  Is it possible to fix this bug and force the shared folders to do what they promised, i. e. to share files between the host and the guest operating system and do not write all zeros in the output file?

  Hello

  Not really, these types of problems hit the option files shared for many years.

  Workshares of files for simple file sharing, but if you want to use as the project file in Visual Studio, then what you see is not really surprising.

  Yes you can troubleshoot it and spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Which may or may not work.

  However, the General recommendation is to use industry standard file sharing shares - for example native Windows - instead of construction option of share if you want to use for this type of scenario.

  A common alternative is to develop locally within the virtual machine and share it with other computers using source control systems.

• Cannot map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  Hi Buck,

  Welcome to the community.

  Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  Also, when folders are enabled it is my understanding that an addition is made to the guest OS network providers.  What is the impact of the network provider of shared folders moving further towards the bottom of the list of purchase orders (network connections, advanced, advanced settings, purchase order).

  As far as I KNOW, this is not possible if it running ESX (i)

  KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1317 tire

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• I keep getting "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" error windows 2008R2

  Hi all

  I appreciate your help. And I hope that this issue has been addressed previously, although I couldn't find any solution there.

  I manage a domain windows 2008 with 3 domain controllers. Recently my workstations continue to fall out of the field. I get "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" to many workstations.

  I know how to fix properly, use netdom.exe. But the mistakes keep coming back. I don't know where to look for the source of this error. A possible problem might be the time in any field is out of sync. But all my workstations synchronize with the domain controller with the primary domain controller role and seems to work correctly.

  Are there other sources, that I need to check? This is getting frustrating.

  Thank you much for the help.

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

  The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.  This only happens on the Windows 7 desktop.  It is sporadic.   Add the computer account to the domain is not a viable solution.  It happens far too often.

  There is nothing coherent we found on systems that are removed from the field.  Some time its workstations users, sometimes its laptops to students and sometimes he posts of laboratory work.  Different types of systems use different images.  All images are syspreped before creating the image.

• I get an error, 'relationship between the workstation and the field has no confidence. "

  I have a 2003 domain controller, this a job gives me an error "trust in relationship between the workstation and the domain failed" so I read I have to reset the server, remove the object and remove the workstation from the domain, but my problem is that I can not even log in as administrator to do. My admin login details work perfect on other machines, but not this one. Help, please!

  On computers that are connected to a domain, you always have the choice to get authenticated by the controller of domain or the local computer. You must select the local computer, and then use a local administrator account.

• Lost access to the "shared folders" after upgrade to Windows 8.1 Overview

  After the upgrade to Windows 8.1 I no longer access my shared folders. The left pane of the file Explorer has a red x for shared folders. I am running VMware Workstation 9.0.2. The host and the guest o/s are 64-bit.

• NAS200: One of the shared folders are not accessible by the same admin account.

  Good day everyone.

  I know that this is the best place to get the answer to my question.

  Anyway, we've had this NAS200 for a year or two now and there was no problems until recently.

  We have various accounts and folders in the storage and one of them is the shared folder A.

  Lately, when I try to open A shared folder, it tells me:

  \\192.168.XX.xxx\Shared notebook A is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

  Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

  I checked my settings of the user and be the admin for the NAS, I have the abilities to read/write for all files in the NAS.

  I checked the folder via the drive (using Windows 7). Unlike other files, the shared folder A, does not display the availability offline and offline status. As follows:

  

  A shared folder has no display of the State, such as updated folder.

  I'm confused as to what is the problem.

  Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

  "Insufficient resources" means that the Samba on the NAS server ran out of memory. It shouldn't happen, but it does. The reason is probably that you did a lot of operations on files at the same time (for example copy the entire directory tree), and Samba tries to keep information about each file in memory. You have probably seen it slow down much until you lost the connection.

  The problem will probably resolve once you restart the NAS server: push the power button on the rear closed (it emits a beep to confirm the press the button, then after a minute or two, the lights will be turned off), then press again to start (you will hear a beep, followed after a few minutes of another beep to confirm that it is online). Don't just pull the plug or you can corrupt your data.

  There are two comments the two Windows XP machines with the same version of VMWARE tools. All guests parameters are the same. But we shared the host and second file access does not work.

  Any ideas?

  Have you already tried to uninstall/reinstall the VMware tools?

  Maybe the HFGS (VMware Shared Folders) service is not installed properly. What do you see in the registry under

  'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order '?
