Select only one result out of many - Get-VIEvent

Hi,

 

I have a query that looks like this:

 

$cls = Get-Cluster "clusterName" | Get-VM | Get-VIEvent -Type "Info" | Where "UserName" -eq "username" | Select @{Name='Name';E={$_.vm.name}}, CreatedTime

 

I'm wondering how to have it only return one event per VM that is created by the user "UserName". If I run the command above it returns several events per VM.

 

Another question, any idea on how to clear all variables in the ISE? Sometimes i have to close and reopen the ISE to clear some variables as it hangs on to them in memory.

Any idea when or if FreeBSD 12 is going to be "supported"?

Currently VMware Fusion only supports up to FreeBSD 11. Version 12 of FreeBSD has been out and solid for quite a while. Any plans to make it an official supported system?

It runs ok - I guess I am ok until I have to submit a support request.

Any optimization tips? Is it still recommended to change the clock tick to 100 Hz?

One virtual cpu still the recommended way to go?

Physical disk to VM with limited resources.

Hi all!!!

 

I apologize if this sounds too basic, but I do not have too much experience with all VMWare products (only some hands on ESX server 3.5). I had an old Dell Inspiron 1526 laptop (250 GB disk, 20Gb recovery partition, 220Gb system partition with about 40Gb free), the laptop died but the disk survived. Now I want to convert that disk to a VM to run it using VMWae Player, but as far as I understand, I need some kind of VM Server (ESX, NSX or so) to do a P2V conversion. I only have my current laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) and a few external disks totaling 1.5Tb. I currently have no budget to get better hardware.

 

I have looked at VCenter Converter, but I understand it needs Windows Server or ESX/NSX. Have I not understood? Do I have any option?

 

Thanks in advance,

GG.

Chrome OS and USB Redirection in Horizon View

Is Horizon View on Chrome OS with USB Redirection ever going to be available?

 

I work in a school district and the only thing holding us back from using Chromebooks as a replacement for technology labs is that they are not able to detect the USB devices that the students plug in.  With our PCs and Linux thin clients we pass through devices for circuit design/robotics and it works great.  We were hoping that at some point with most schools going 1 to 1 with chromebooks that we would be able to utilize our VDI environment for a wider range of purposes.

 

Thank you!

Hello,

 

I'm using a Horizon Agent Direct Connection Plug-in.

I'm trying to either deactivate or change the login attempts limit that causes the following error after three erroneous attempts:

I found this KB (2086682) article with instructions on how to do it in a View Connection Server but I don't know how to apply them in the Direct Connection Agent.

 

Basically, I have to add the value cs-loginattemptslimit=nn to the pae-NameValuePair attribute.

 

I tried importing view_agent_direct_connection.admx to my Domain Server and applying cs-loginattemptslimit=10 to the following setting:

Client Config Name Value Pairs

...but it does not seem to work.

Has anyone installed Teams MSI or EXE on a non-persistent environment?

 

As I see it there are 4 potential options,

 

1. Install on Master image

2. Install as app stack

3. User install on Writable UIA Vol

4. Thin App

 

I have tried the first three and every time i log off and log back in Teams is gone and I haven't had success yet on an App stack or on the Master image. I wanted to start up a discussion on this so we could get this as stable as possible. I also am running windows 7 and need to install Workplace Joined to get the VM's in Azure AD as Hybrid Azure AD joined.

 

Thanks

Hi All,

 

We have four node vSAN cluster. We have upgraded/patched one of the ESXi host to "VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 10884925".  After upgrading the ESXi host, we are getting below error on cluster. Rest of the three ESXI host are still at "VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 10719125"

 

Advanced vSAN configuration in sync for the upgraded host. Please let me know if this is happening due to the version incompatibility between ESXi version 10884925 and vSAN version.

Hi,

When creating vvol data store, the following problem occurred.

 

[Issue]

  1. After creating the VVOL Data Store from the storage container (1500GB), the size is to be srinked to 0 byte.

  2. Then, the created data store is to be marked as "disabled (inactivated)."

  3. Also, the information of PE (Protocol Endpoint) is not displayed.

  4. we have confirmed this occurs on both IP and DNS(FQDN).

Log off script not working for new UEM deployment

I'm trying to deploy UEM for a new Horizon environment to replace an old 6.0 with persona. So far, I've gotten everything configured how I'd like it within UEM (capturing the app data I want/need and printer mappings based off horizon client property). However the only thing that isn't working is actually archiving the data to the UEM share. I've got group policy configured how I believe it's supposed to be setup, but I can't get the log off script to run. However if I manually run the flexengine.exe -s it will archive the profile successfully. We are running Windows 10 1809 and when I couldn't figure out why it wasn't saving, I change the log off script to write to a text file:

 

"C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" –s

 

 

rem Saved in c:\support\Text.txt

@echo off

@echo Testing log off script> c:\support\test.txt

 

I watched the file as the PC logged off and opened it and it had the Testing log off script in the text file, so the log off script it working, it's just the profile isn't archiving.

 

I've attached my GP settings for both user, and computer and a GPResult against the test user and VDI desktop. I've checked permissions on the GPO and the user has permissions.

 

Is the log off script the only want of archiving the UEM data? With persona, there was a GPO that told it how often to backup, but I don't see that as an option on the GPO.

VMRC - Resolution / wrong mouse position

Hello,

whenever i open a VM in VMRC 10.0.3 build-9300449 on my Windows 10 1803 PC i have some problems.

We are using vSphere Client Version 6.5.0.13000

 

First of all, the resolution of the VM is alwas set to a very low resolution and i have to switch to 1280x800 manually.

 

The second problem is, that the mouse pointer has the wrong position. The mouse pointer is shown on a different position than the click events happen.

This makes it impossible to work.

 

Is there any solution for this?

 

Thanks.

I currently have VMWare vCenter 6.0 deployed with Avamar Virtual Edition and a Data Domain.  If I upgrade to VMWare vCenter 6.7 with through the vCenter 6 appliance to vCenter 6.7 appliance upgrade process, will the Avamar configuration need to be altered or updated as well?  Or will I have to manually unconfigure and then reconfigure the Avamar/Data Domain set up?

 

I cannot find any documentation on the steps necessary to do this process (my google-fu is failing me).

After Doing a Storage vMotion about 1gb of .vmdk files remaining.

Hello Community Friends   

 

After performing a storage vMotion of a VM from a datastore (this was the only VM occupying the datastore) I see a bunch of .vmdkl files remaining. These seem to have created after the storage vMotion was done. I read where you can delete these AFTER you confirm that non of them are being used. My issue is, I do not know if I need them or not or how to determine that.

 

Any thoughts?

View 5.1.3 and Windows 2019 RDS

I think I know the answer to this, but I have a rather old View 5.1.3 environment that we re-purposed after a failed VDI deployment to handle Terminal Server connections to 2 Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. Given that Windows 2008 R2 is EOL after January 2020, we are migrating our 2008 R2 servers to 2019 servers. After having installed RDS on the 2019 server and the View Agent the View Administrator does not show the new RDS server as a selection to add to the existing pools or when I create a new one. Can a 2019 Terminal server be added to such an old environment?

Permissions needed to change user own password

Dear reader,

 

I have spent at least half an hour trying to solve this..

What permission is needed to allow a user to change his/her password?

I am using local users, this is just one host we are talking about.

ESXi 6.5

 

 

I have created a role "power users" and created permission to manage VM's and storage. THis works fine.

However, when the user tries to change the password, they get a red banner saying "Failed to change password".

 

I have spent looking through the official documentation, internet and here on this website.

I seem to miss what im looking for.

What am i doing wrong? Where can i change this permission?

windows 10 1809 slow

I downloaded the Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 ISOs the day they became available so I can start working on my templates.

 

I built the templates with EFI, paravirtual for the C drive and vmxnet3 adapter. I've been using this combo for other versions of windows 10/8/7and windows server 2008r2/2012r2/1016 without issue.

 

So far Windows 2019 (with desktop experience) seems to be ok at least for a basic vm and guest customization. Haven't tried anything else yet.

 

Windows 10 1809 on the other hand is very, very slow to reboot after the initial install or even just rebooting after making some changes post install. After installing the OS it took 10-15 minutes for the initial windows setup stuff (user, security settings, etc) to appear . I tried a VM set to BIOS and it seemed faster but was still quite slow. Server 2019 and other versions of windows 10 have no issue.

 

The hosts are esxi 6.5 and 6.7.

 

I haven't had a chance to try every combo of BIOS/EFI/vmxnet3/e1000e/paravirtual/lsi sas to see if one is the cause of the issue but was wondering if anyone else had noticed any issues or if it was just me?

 

Thanks

Compatibility issues with attempting to vMotion - only some VMs

I'm attempting to use vMotion to move 3 VMs from one host to another.  Of the three, I was able to move one successfully, but the other two are giving a compatibility error "CPUID details: incompatibility at level 0x1 register 'ecx'."  Anything I'm seeing about how to resolve this deals with settings at the host level.  However, given that the one VM moved with no issues, I'm wondering - is there anything that could be set at the VM level that could affect this?

Hi all,

Regarding the recovery partition that is created automatically by Windows Server 2016 on install. Is this really required for a VM? Especially when VMs are being backed up with Veeam etc? Should this partition be deleted to allow the easier extension of C drive?

 

Cheers,

Unable to export VMX to OVF (Workstation Pro 15)

Hello!

 

I'm a new VMware user. I'm running Workstation Pro 15 on a Windows 10 system. I'm trying to export one of my VMs to OVF format. When I use the IDE it fails so I tried using the ovftool.exe program directly. Specifically I issued the following command:

 

    ovftool --X:logToConsole --X:logLevel=verbose "C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Virtual Machines\Pilgrim\Pilgrim.vmx" C:\lib\Pilgrim.ovf

 

Toward the end of the verbose output I see things like this:

 

    2019-02-22T17:46:20.693-05:00 C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Virtual Machines\Pilgrim\ is not a file

    Error: Failed to open file: C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Virtual Machines\Pilgrim\

 

It is true that C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Virtual Machines\Pilgrim\ is not a file. It is a folder. My question is: why is it even trying to open that? I looked at the contents of the VMX file, but I do not see this folder mentioned there. Thoughts?

 

I should mention that this VM was originally imported from a VirtualBox OVA file. The import appeared to work okay (although I was warned about an issue... forget the details now), and the machine runs fine.

 

P.S. When I try to do the export in the IDE, I get basically the same message about being unable to open the folder although there is a trailing dot on the path in case that is significant at all.

 

Thanks!

HomeLab with Vmware ESXI and GPU passtrough

February 2, 2019, 12:00 pm

Hi there,
This is my first trip to this forum, and i am quite new to vmware ESXI.
What i am trying to do is creating a lab computer with one guestOS with GPU passthrough, but i have some issues and was hoping for some help.

 

My build is as following

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz) Product Specifications

Motherboard: Asus Z170-A https://www.asus.com/no/Motherboards/Z170-A/

GPU: GeForce GTX1060 (MSI) GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G | Graphics card - The world leader in display performance | MSI Global

 

After what i have been able to dig up this setup should be compatible with IOMMU and VT-X/VT-D. I have read that passing trough a consumer
card like the 1060 can be difficult duo to Nvidia blocking this for their consumer cards, but also that it should be possible tricking by editing the conf with hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE".

 

After trying a failing a lot i have managed to get the gpu visible in the guestOS, but i only get error (43). I have tried upgrading the BIOS, the guest OS and installing the latest driver. I also tried with both the ESXI version 5.5 and 5.7. The last test i was not able to enable "IOMMU" on the CPU however, and got an error saying there was something wrong or the hardware was not supported.

 

Anyone got any suggestions, or is this not possible for this setup?
