Hello, we upgrade recently WorkspaceOne UEM from 2001 to 2005 on-prem version, and now we have problem with assignment  applications using UEM console built-in role Application Managers. I was find in release notes for 2006 version information about resolve issue "ARES-12077: Unable to assign public apps using certain UEM console built-in roles". But 2006 version not available right now for on-premises deployments. May be somebody have information about workaround for resolve issue for WorkspaceOne UEM version 2005 on-premises?

Hello,

There are several articles from over a decade ago how to export the registry (and all keys and subkeys) to a folder at logoff. Trying to see if things have improved.

Goals:

1. Export a software packages keys from HKCU\Software\VendorX to a file in %USERPROFILE%\Documents (which is on a share) at logoff
2. At log on, import that file, if it's found, otherwise skip import.

The issue is each user is allowed to customer VendorX's software and it's not being retained using instant clones and floating assignment.

We do a lot of powershell so would generally prefer that unless it's far more complicated than necessary.

Do I use DEM? GPO logon/logoff scripts? Pool start and end session scripts (I'd think no since they aren't logged in until the VM is needed).

Hello all! I'm hoping that someone has tackled this issue already. I have a 2 part requirement to remove all snapshots in our environments after the snapshot age has reached 72 hours but also to skip specific VM snapshots using a keyword like "Exclude". The canned workflow in vRO named Remove old snapshots accomplishes the first part of this requirement. I'm looking for guidance on how to modify this workflow to accomplish the second part of the requirement. I'm new to vRO so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any ideas or suggestions

Can anyone suggest to me that the attached diagram is best practice to create external PSC and vCenter HA with ELM configuration?

Requirements:

1) Create a set of 2 External PSC to replicate SSO information.

2) Create 2 vCenter servers with Enhanced linked mode enabled 

3) Set of 2 vCenter servers to use the Virtual IP of the load balancer.

Thanks in Advance..

Hi,

Hope you are all well.

I have researched this question a lot but still haven't found a correct way to be able to have a csv file with ComputerName and IP address information to set it to Windows VM using Invoke-VMScript.

I have a CSV file

ComputerName,IPAddress,Gateway,Subnet,DNS1,DNS2

This contains multiple VMs and the static IP address that should be assigned.

I know I need to use PowerShell script something like

For IP:

New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet0" -IPAddress $IPAddress -PrefixLength $Subnet -DefaultGateway $Gateway

For DNS:

Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet0" -ServerAddresses $DNS1, $DNS2

But I am not understanding how I can pass these variables to the VM using Invoke-VMScript.

Would appreciate the help.

Thanks

I'd like to create a home lab based on the new ARM support but would I need an x86 host just for the vCenter appliance or is there support for it running on an ARM host?

Hello,

after updating VCSA 6.7 to 6.7.0.45000 the VAMI shows me this:

is that ok ? think this is a bug

I am trying to setup a vCenter 7.0 server on Workstation 16Pro to do some testing in a lab environment. For the life of me I cannot get past this. I have a AD server running with DNS. A and PTR records are in place and tested. I deploy the VCSA appliance via the OVA in workstation. Connect to it over port 5480 and cannot get past this. This is the IP I deployed the VCSA VM on, and it pings fine. Any suggestions? Pulling my hair on this one. Erroring with Unable to Save IP Settings.

I am getting this error message for VCSA 7.0 - Update Planner "Unexpected error occurred while fetching the updates"

Also getting errors under "Interoperability" - Unexpected error occurred while fetching the interoperability details

I have tried:

"SSH into VCSA 7.0 and run the below command:

rm /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf

After removing the file, VCSA patched successfully."

I am now stuck at why this update planner is no longer working.

Any help would be appreciated on this on.

I was read Lifecycle manager document as I understood with t we can do follow tasks :

1 - updae esxi

2- update vcsa

3- if using HPE server can via SPP can update firmware and all drivers on server

Is that correct or can do other things ?

4 - As I understood we had to just use ILO Ampifier and integrate it with vcsa is that correct or in adition had to deploy oneview for lifecycle manager ?

Hello.

I have a Windows 7 Pro 64b installation on one laptop (standard hard drive) which I want to run on my windows 10 pro 64b (solid state drive).

Can someone recommend the best way to do this?  At my last job, my boss forced me to run a windows 7  VM, so I think WMWare should be the solution and I tried it but I do not know how to create the .iso file of my windows 7 machine.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

Hello Experts ,

I have some questions about our Migration from 5.5 to 6.5 .we will replace  our virtuel datacenter equipements with new ones .

our Vcenter 5.5  is in our old domain x.local and the new one will be in our new domain y.com.

our ESXi 5.5 are not joined to the Domain .the authentication is locally and they use the DNS of our old domain x.local

before migrating to 6.5 with new Domain y.com , i would migrate our Vcenter 5.5 from x.local to y.com

Could you tel me the steps please ? i'm afraid if there will an impact to our VMS

I am attempting to package an application that appears to encrypt a portion of its data during install using the Windows functions CryptProtectData CryptUnprotectData during install.

Packaging appears successfull and I can run the package on the same machine, but once I run the package on a second machine it throws the following error:

Error occured: -2146233088 An unknown error occured in the licensing module.  CryptUnprotectData returned false with the following win32Error Error -2146893813: Key not valid for use in specified state.

Anyone dealt with this issue before?

Thanks.

Hello,

I want to deploy vmware integrated openstack but I read this page and I can not figure out what did it said!

Datastore Clusters in VMware Integrated OpenStack

In this page the following part confused me:

• Only one datastore cluster can be used for each vCenter Server instance.

Could anyone declare this part of document?.

I have to explain my environment, I have 4 cluster of servers. 2 cluster, each include 10 servers and each server has 24 SAS hard drive for hybrid vSAN. 2 other cluster, each include 10 servers and each server has 24 SSD hard drive for all-flash vSAN. In addition I have 5 EMC SAN Storage that I want to use the for some purpose. So If i assume that I can create just one storage cluster, I need to install 5 vCenter server at least, 4 vCenter for each vSAN Cluster and 1 vCenter for EMC SAN storage. Am i right?, and If I'm wrong, please declare this part of document for me.

Thanks

Hi there. Ive updated to macOS 11.0 Big Sur beta 5 and the SSL VPN-Plus Mac Client that (finally) worked on Catalina, now doesn't work anymore on BigSur.

Tried reinstalling and same results.

Hi All,

I have un-installed HTML access from View connection server by mistake and I think because of this I am not able to see the login page which says about login via Horizon Client or HTML.

It is showing below message

You must use Horizon Client for X to access this Connection Server.

Horizon Client for Mac OS may already be installed.

To connect, start the Horizon Client and enter X.x.x.x as the server address.

If the Client is not installed, you may download it from the link below.

Contact your local Administrator if you have any questions.

Here is the add / remove snippet of CS

Please help on this.

PC: Windows10 1909, i7-6700

VMware:VMware ® Workstation 15 Pro 15.1.0 build-13591040

VM System: Ubuntu 16.04

1. Click "VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8" in Windows 10's Change Adapter options item. Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) item. Set IP address with 192.168.52.1, and Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
2. In Virtual Network Editor , use VMnet8, click NAT Settings, Gateway ip is 192.168.52.1 , and Subnet IP is 192.168.52.0, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
3. and run ShadowsSocksR (A socks5 proxy client)in Windows 10, make it listen 10899port.
4. Start Ubuntu virtual machine. set these:
5. Now, Ubuntu virtual machine can access internet pass through sock5 proxy thich run in Windows 10.

AND THE WEIRD THING IS

When I reboot Ubuntu virtual machine, it can't access internet. And I want to capture packet of "VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8" in Windows 10 and help myself to check how it does not work, so I run Wireshark in Windows10, and click capture button, and then Ubuntu virtual machine can access internet at the same time.

After that, it can not access internet when I reboot or start it and I will run Wireshark and capture VMnet8 Adapter and it will be repaired temporary.

So someone can tell me how's it going? Thank you.

I just upgraded from VMware Workstation 15.5 to 16, and there was no update to VMware Tools with it (it's still using version 11.0.6 build 15940789 which only supports up to DirectX 10.1). When I select in VMware Workstation preferences to "Download All Components Now" it tells me "All downloadable components are up to date", and when I select to check for software updates it tells me "There are no software updates available at this time."

Since it looks like a version of VMware Tools that includes DirectX 11 support wasn't included with the release of VMware Workstation 16, may I ask when we should expect an updated version of VMware Tools that includes Direct X 11 support?

To verify the version of DirectX that VMware Tools supported I opened dxdiag (the DirectX Diagnostic Tool) by executing it in the Run dialog, then switched to the "Display" tab and checked the Direct3D DDI and Feature Levels under "Drivers". As you can see in the following screenshot, the highest level of DirectX support for the driver is 10.1.

Now with a video driver that supports newer versions of DirectX, it would look something like the following screenshot (note that the driver in this example supports DirectX 12, and I won't expect to see that in VMware Workstation until it is formally announced).

Hi all,

Running Fusion Player 12 on macOS Catalina. I used previous versions of Fusion for years with no problems.

Just tried a series of VMs: copied, installed from scratch or deployed via OVA. However, the guest does not get any network access. Not even DHCP works.

Tcpdump on my host sees no activity whatsoever on the vmnet interfaces.

Tried the usual connect/disconnect/reboot etc but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thank you
