Hi there,
I've created a group in Active Directory called "VRA-Department-Users", but after the directory sync, I'm seeing the Sync log and the new group is imported with some kind of ID instead of the group name ($EM9000-41CJAG4O8QPA). When I've tried to add this new group in a Business Group, I cannot find it by the name, but appears by the ID.
This is the second time it happens to me in different vRA 7.x installations and versions.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
D.
The vCenter Console Access permissions on vm's works fine and the user's are able to view the Console of the vm from vCenter, but when they connect to the vCenter via VMware Workstation they are unable to view the Console of the vm's where they have the Console Access permissions. So now what kind of permissions are required to view the vm Console via VMware Workstation ?
vCenter ver 6.5
Workstation ver 15.x
We need to update the qlogic drivers for our HP ESXi hosts (ESXi 6.7). I've uploaded the patch to a new baseline to deploy, but for some reason this patch is also showing for the Non-Critical Host Patches baseline. When I scan our Cisco UCS hosts for updates, the Non-Critical baseline now shows as non-compliant with one patch to install, which is the qlogic patch for the updated drivers. The UCS blades do not have any qlogic devices. I haven't tried remediating one of the UCS hosts yet. I would like to be able to remove the qlogic patch from the Non-Critical baseline to avoid any possible issues. When I check in Update Manager, I only have the option to remove it from the custom baseline I created.
Hello!
I am working with a script to deploy a VM from a template, but am running into a couple issues.
Issue 1: the VM is not deploying with the customization of network information
Issue 2: the Vm is not deploying with the preferred hostname
What is working, the VM will deploy with the template hardware settings, of course. However, note a couple items in the template are set as below and not applying during deploy
Here is the script
# Get source Template
$Template = Get-Template -Name 'RHEL 6.9'
# Get the OS CustomizationSpec
$OSCusSpec = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name 'RHEL VM'
#Get Cluster
$tgtClusterName = 'CLUSTER7'
$cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $tgtClusterName
# Get a host within cluster
$VMHost = Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Random
# Get datastore
$dsName = 'ds*-datastore7*'
# Find a datastore with most space
$Datastore = Get-Datastore -Name $dsName | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending | Select -First 1
# Deploy Virtual Machine
$VM = New-VM -Name 'testvm1p02' -Template $Template -VMHost $VMHost -Datastore $Datastore
Get-OSCustomizationSpec $OSCusSpec |`
Set-OSCustomizationSpec -NamingScheme Fixed -NamingPrefix 'testvm1p02'
#Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | `
#Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress 192.168.1.101 -SubnetMask 255.255.254.0 -DefaultGateway 192.168.1.1
I have the NicMapping lines commented out because all this is doing, also for the -NamigScheme, is hard-editing the OSCustomizationSpec and nothing more. I have to go in and change those settings back.
Looking at a few other threads similar to what I am doing, I am not able to wrap my head around what I am missing in the syntax. / order / args.
Any help is appreciated!
I have 5 vCenter with 800 ESXi and several clusters, and we use the "Host Profile".
my problem is that i noticed that there is a difference on the configuration of the "Host Profile" and I got the confirmation that the Host profile should be the same for all Clusters.
Is there any way using PowerCLI to get configuration from all Cluster in each vCenter?
We have a recurring scenario in our development cycle that involves deployments from a short-term blueprint (60-days Max) needing a change to a long term lease deployment(365 days) with manager approval. (And no one knows if the lease will need a long-term revision.) Renewing the lease every two months is not a viable option for us, since it's essentially an infinite lease if we give the power to the users to do so. And having all leases be a max value of 365 days has caused users to be wasteful. This update also needs to be done without downtime.
Do Tenant Administrators or a Business Group Managers not have the rights to set the lease to whatever they choose for a specific deployment?
I've already seen unsupported solutions to modify the Postgres Database "at your own risk," or doing some sort of deployment shutdown, export, then import, so I'm not really interested in those janky workarounds.
It's very possible I could be missing something in the permissions or GUI options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dear All,
I can't update my vCenter 7.0.0.00000
Hi All,
I successfully ran Workstation Pro from release 11 to recent 15.5.2 without major problems. Trying to run the upgrade to 15.5.5 today, I failed with...
~$ bash VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.5-16285975.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.

I have no idea what went wrong!? Please, any advice appreciated... presently I'm going back to 15.5.2, and I will wait for some feedback here...
Kind Regards

I upgraded my lab hosts from 6.7 to 7.0. It all seemed to go smoothly, but I then noticed that none of them will power on. The error message is:
After reading an article where someone had a similar problem trying to vmotion machines, I tried adding the following lines to the vmx files:
featMask.vm.cpuid.stibp = "Max:0"
featMask.vm.cpuid.ibrs = "Max:0"
featMask.vm.cpuid.ibpb = "Max:0"
featMask.vm.cpuid.fcmd = "Max:0"
featMask.vm.cpuid.ssbd = "Max:0"
Then reloading the VM (vim-cmd vmsvc/reload <id>) and trying again, but to no effect.
Any help gratefully accepted.

Was running Workstation 15.5.2 and upgraded to 15.5.5 and once I booted any of m VM's I had an issue with the keyboard. For example:
Escape keys would not work
Caps lock getting stuck on after pressing it once
Anyway, I then had the fun task of removing Workstation 15.5.5 and reinstalling 15.5.2 which was a headache as I then had network adapter issues. I have not long started using Workstation again (used years ago) and more recently have come from another virtualization solution but I haven't seen this before.
I tried with the "Enhanced Keyboard Driver" and without but curious if anyone else had these issues and if so, how to fix them?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
Im fairly new to this. But do you have any idea how I can get the date/time and maybe even person who shut down a VM?
I tried looking in vCenter but cant see any events neither on the VM itself or on the host.
Is there anyway I can get above information in a fairly easy way?
Maybe PowerCLI?
Hallo,
Ich habe heute meine ESXI Home Edition von 6.7 Update 3 via USB Stick auf Version 7.0 Upgedraded.
Hat alles erfolgreich Funktioniert. Nach einem Neuen Neustart kam die Meldung No Hypervisor found.
Habe dann eine Neuinstallation vorgenommen.
Dabei viel mir auf ich habe jetzt einen Virtueller Flash, ist das Neu ? Habe nichts angeklickt.
Des weiteren kann ich die esxi nicht mehr in die Domäne einbinden, via CLI Username oder Passwort falsch !!!!!
Im AD habe ich den Computer schon gelöscht, brachte keine besserung.
On my new server Power edge T430 i was able to setup an ESXI V.6.5 that came with the server and 3 vm's on the host.
I deleted one of those vm's and would like to create a new one but not able...
That is a free version not licenced yet ( 45 days ) .
I tryed chrome, IE, Firefox,,,
It's impossible to create a new vm... allways the same message: the vm configuration was rejected. please see browser console...
I have recently upgrade my Mac OS to Catlina, which then required me to upgrade my VMfusion to 11.5. After doing so and getting Windows 10 reinstalled in VMware I've discovered the USB drive is not being recognized by the VMware/windows environment. I've been in setting of VMware and under USB settings the box is checked to ask what to do with the USB drive. But I'm not being asked when a usb drive is plugged in, it just loads on the Mac.
Any suggestions would be a big help, I've read several posts about this issue, but none were specific to 11.5. And solutions presented if the other versions haven't seemed to work or I've not implemented them in the correct order.
Thanks for any suggestions,
My requirement is to install app using msiexec, I have referred
Re: Invoke-VMScript to run ps commands as an administrator
and other posts on this forum and tried the solution mentioned but am still getting few errors. I have tried all these below options after disabling UAC.
I tried following options:
Option1:
$ScriptBlock = @"
`$proc = Start-Process -PassThru -FilePath `"c:\windows\system32\msiexec`" -ArgumentList `" /i C:\Users\XRAY\MyApp.msi /qb /norestart /passive HASH=b64ba17a00ee671df MyAppParam2=Param2 MyAppParam3=Param3 MyApp=support@MyApp.com /L*V C:\Users\XRAY\install.log`" -Wait
return `$proc.ExitCode
"@
Invoke-VMScript -VM $TARGET_VM -ScriptText $ScriptBlock
Output: 1603 error - A fatal error occurred during installation. But if I try the same command on the VM powershell it works fine.
Option2: Tried with elevated access as I need to move a file from home directory to
$ScriptBlock = @"
function Elevate-Process {
param ([string]`$exe = `$(Throw "Pleave provide the name and path of an executable"),[string]`$arguments)
`$startinfo = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
`$startinfo.FileName = `$exe
`$startinfo.Arguments = `$arguments
`$startinfo.verb = `"RunAs`"
`$process = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start(`$startinfo)
}
Elevate-Process -Exe powershell.exe -Arguments `"-noninteractive -command msiexec /i C:\Users\XRAY\MyApp.msi /qb /norestart /passive HASH=b64ba17a00ee671df MyAppParam2=Param2 MyAppParam3=Param3 MyApp=support@MyApp.com /L*V C:\Users\XRAY\install.log`"
"@

Output: Exception calling "Start" with "1" argument(s): "This operation requires an interactive window station"
Any suggestions please?
Hi All,
Unsure if this is the right forum or place to ask.
I manage 2000 Android devices on version 19.9.0.5 (1909). We are wanting to be able to track our hardwares location. We have setup the permissions required for this however it does not seem to work correctly.
I believe it should send the MDM an updated GPS cords every hour or four hours however some of my devices can go days without an update. The devices are checked in and working in every other way.
We have a team who manage issues like this for us who advised the MDM is not designed for that level of tracking and it will only work if the device checks in (Which they do check in yet still no update)
Is workplace one unable to track hardware correctly?
Cheers
I log in to my session. I click Launch. Then I get a message "Open xdg-open?". I click that but nothing opens. I've installed Horizon Client 5.4.1 but it doesn't launch when I click Open xdg-open. I've manually opened Horizon Client but that didn't help. Is there steps or configurations I'm missing?

I'm using Windows 10 (64 bits) and i am emulating Windows XP (32 bits) with Service Pack 3. It was working perfectly fine a few days ago. I went online and opened VMware, then a message appeared talking about an update. I downloaded and restarted my computer. After that, the virtual machine started working horrible. Poor quality in sound effects and musics. Windows XP is working slower now. I noticed bugs in programs that were working fine before the update. An DVD player software is not showing images, only sound now.
I mean, come on guys!
Updates are supposed to make things better, not worse. I heard that a good solution is to downgrade to version 15.5.2. I got this version but it won't allow to downgrade. I really hope i don't have to reinstall Windows XP in the virtual machine again.
Let me know if you guys need more information.
Thanks a lot for your time and for your help.
