Autodesk Autocad 2018

Hi

 

 

I have created an appstack of Autocad 2018. When the appstack is assigned to a user Autocad is stuck on splashcreen with loading for approx 5 minutes.

 

I have tried to copy appdata, local and roaming, as well as the Autocad registry settings from the capturing user envrionment, but still no change. Subsequent startups have the same behavior.

 

Anyone seen similar behavior?

No PXE Boot from VM with EFI. Using Microsoft WDS

$

0

Hello,

 

I have the problem, that I am not able to get a VM on our ESXi 6.0.0 to boot over PXE from our WDS if I choose EFI as start option. If I choose BIOS instead, everything works fine.

 

When I use EFI I get this screen when starting up:

After that I am presented the Boot Manager and can select EFI Network manualy, then I get the following screen. Nothing happens there. After a few seconds I get back to the Boot Manager where I can select another boot media.

Unfortunately I dont have access to our WDS-Server to view any log, but I will ask for this if I cant solve the problem otherwise. If you need any more information feel free to ask.

Server 2016 PVSCSI Driver

Hi All

 

I'm trying to build a Server 2016 template, but keeping running into a problem the PVSCSI driver.

 

I'm prompted at the start of the installation that a media driver is missing, so I mount the Vmware tools installer and locate the PVSCSI driver. The Windows installer sees the driver but when I click Next it tries to load, but I eventually receive: 'No new devices drivers were found....' and can't proceed.

 

I'm running ESXi 6.0 u2, but I've tried multiple versions of the tools iso and floppy images and always the samething.

 

What am I doing wrong?

vSphere Web Client SUCKs so bad that my experience managing and supporting VMware has turn to SH**!

VCSA 6.5 - Update Manager acting a bit odd

$
0
0

Hello.

 

I have upgrade to VCSA 6.5 and I'm using it's Update Manager to try and "Scan for Updates" and checkmark in Upgrades. I have attached the baseline a Cluster level.

 

When doing so for an already upgraded Host I get the error: Cannot deplay upgrade agent on Host.

 

When doing so for a not yet upgraded Host I get the error: VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details.

 

The list shows 2 Compliant, 3 Non-Compliant and 3 Unknown.

 

One of our Hosts are Out Cold and awaiting a systemboard change. NSX is installed but only for use for Guest Introspection and McAfee MOVE AV. Both show Installation Status Failed. The one Host is probably the problem there.

 

If I de-attached the baseline from Cluster level and attach it to a yet to be upgrade Host I get "VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details."

 

Scan entity stops at 17%, I see no errors in Event Console

 

Repeat this for the upgraded server I get: "Cannot deploy host upgrade agent. Check the network connectivity and logs of host agent and vpxa for details." Scan Entity stops after two seconds.

 

Any ideas?

 

Best Regards

Installing JMP

Has anyone got this to setup, I am trying to setup a test lab with

 

vsphere 6.7

horizon 7.5

appvolumes 2.14

uem 9.4

 

but I can't get the jmp server to register, it keeps saying

 

 

and I can't figure out the logs to see more. If I go to the jmp server with a webbrowers I see a 404, which I can't figure out is expected or not, I think so since this is probably just an server to make api calls to. I am using all self signed certificated, but I copied each of the verts  to the folders listed in

 

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-7/7.5/horizon-JMP-server-installation/GUID-A547DD1C-DBB1-463B-B5BA-B3B3302BC2E8.html#GUID-A547DD1C-DBB1-463B-B5BA-B3B3302BC2E8

 

but I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions would be great

vCenter 6.7 Joining enhanced linked mode after cert replacement fails (Failed to validate sso.(log_info() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given))

$

I just deployed a new vCenter 6.7 server with embedded PSC. I'm planning on adding four other additional sites using enhanced linked mode. I'm also using a hybrid certificate replacement approach in order get rid of the certificate warnings. By that I mean I'm replacing the machine SSL certs with my internal enterprise CA and utilizing VMCA for the solution users certificates.  Here is what I have done:

 

1. Created a custom template on our internal CA for vSphere purposes.

2. Followed the process to replace the machine certificate on my first vCenter/PSC (vcenter-site1.domain.com)

3. Imported the Root and Intermediate Certs to complete the trust chain (We both have a root and issuing CA)

4. Verified that I am no longer getting invalid certificate warnings and that the site now shows green.

5. Integrated vCenter/PSC with AD and added groups to allow domain login.

 

With that, everything works as expected.

 

 

Now I'm trying to deploy another site (vcenter-site2.domain.com). I'm on stage 2, step 3 which is the SSO configuration. I'm asked to provide the existing PSC FQDN, the single sign-on domain, and password. When I hit next, I see the validation of the connection and it correctly identifies the that the vCenter server has an embedded PSC. I am then presented with the following error

 

I presume this has something to do with the certificate replacement but I'm not sure where to look next. I came across a KB 2121701 ,but I checked and the thumbprints match so everything looks OK so I'm not sure if that KB applies. The only thing that struck me as odd was the following output when running echo | openssl s_client -connect localhost:443

 

 

Certificate chain

0 s:/C=CA/ST=CA/L=SanJose/O=Company/OU=VMware Engineering/CN=vcenter-site1.com

   i:/DC=com/DC=company/CN=Company Issuing Certification Authority

1 s:/DC=com/DC=company/CN=Company Issuing Certification Authority

   i:/DC=com/DC=company/CN=Company Root Certification Authority

2 s:/DC=com/DC=company/CN=Company Root Certification Authority

   i:/DC=com/DC=company/CN=Company Root Certification Authority

 

That could be a red herring but I thought I would include it.

 

Does anyone have any idea what this error could mean?

Setting Default printer based on Zero client ip?

We have users that have multiple homes with zero clients placed at each location.  How do you set the default printer to the printer that is local to that zero client?  I'm thinking of using task scheduler to trigger a script when a user unlocks the vdi using a registry key that reflects the current IP of the zero client but would love to hear other ideas. We have horizon advanced license. 

 

Thanks


Workstation Pro 14.1.2 Update for 7-Zip (7za.exe) Planned?

Hi everyone,

 

I hope this message finds you well. As you know two security updates were made available for 7-Zip this year:

 

https://landave.io/2018/01/7-zip-multiple-memory-corruptions-via-rar-and-zip/

 

https://landave.io/2018/05/7-zip-from-uninitialized-memory-to-remote-code-execution/

 

Is VMware affected by the issues raised in the above mentioned blog posts? If so, is this older .exe file likely to be replaced in an upcoming update to VMware? Apologies if the appropriate actions for updating this file in a future update are already in progress. Many thanks in advance for your time. Have a good day.

 

Other vendors have already updated their installations:

Networking Problems with VMware Workstation 14.x running Ubuntu 18.04

$

Howdy, I have a liitle problem for setting up a server for tests.

I'm currently running an Ubuntu 18.04 (desktop) machine for hosting the famous Technic Solder API (this don't matter).

However, I can access with no problems with ssh using my private IP address, but when I try to access to it with my external IP it will not work.

I'm trying to run a bridged connection replying my phisical network. I've also disabled my firewall (and the only one that I have in addiction is my Avast Firewall that do not touch my VMware).

So, in order to make it work, before using a VPS I need to know why this is happening, also because I made it work (without knowing why) with my public IP while I was setting up a static IP.

I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and updationg all the packages and do some tests... however, as you can imagine, this don't work...

Have you any ideas?

Datastore missing v6.5.0

Brought the server up after replacing a RAID disk last night. All seemed to be working fine but this morning we could not access either the VM or the Host server. After a reboot, the host comes back up, but the datastore is missing.

 

I can see the drive under storage devices. Is it possible to reattach the datastorage without losing the data\\\\\\\\\/

 

Thank you

ESXi powered down abruptly, one VM has problems

My ESXi 5.1 host lost power abruptly.  all VMs came back except one.   Attached is what the Datastore looks like.   I tried renaming the LCK file as you can see, but no dice.  I also tried creating a brand new VM, and pointing back to the original VMDK flie, but that yields, "Cannot open xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, or one of the files it depends on..."  I'm worried about all the files I have sitting around, that shouldn't be there, like the vswp files etc etc...   NOTE:  The VM that you see is powered-OFF....  also, this is the original directory that housed the vm that used to work, this is not the directory for the 'new' VM I created.....

Ovftool modify network target ovf

$

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to get "ovftool" to modify the resulting ovf (starting from a vmx) with a few parameters like:

  • --net:'nat=VM Network'
  • --memorySize:vm1=2048
  • etc.

but none of them is working. The resulting ovf is every time exactly the same. Here below the probe of the ova file:

 

Header 1

ovftool ubuntu.ova

OVF version:   1.0

VirtualApp:    false

Name:          ubuntu

 

 

Download Size:  801.99 MB

 

 

Deployment Sizes:

  Flat disks:   16.00 GB

  Sparse disks: 1.86 GB

 

 

Networks:

  Name:        nat

  Description: The nat network

 

 

Virtual Machines:

  Name:               ubuntu

  Operating System:   ubuntu64guest

  Virtual Hardware:

    Families:         vmx-09

    Number of CPUs:   1

    Cores per socket: 1

    Memory:           512.00 MB

 

 

    Disks:

      Index:          0

      Instance ID:    6

      Capacity:       16.00 GB

      Disk Types:     SCSI-lsilogic

 

 

    NICs:

      Adapter Type:   E1000

      Connection:     nat

 

As I said the resulting ovf is always the same. I've tried with different examples from the official "ovftool" doc but nothing seems to work. I've even tried to look in the logs but no errors are displayed and no information about my argument / properties are printed.

 

Could someone please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or is "ovftool" not made for that?

 

Best regards,

 

Vincenzo

ovftool and signing

$
0

Currently I have an automated process in place where I create a signed ova file using the ovftool.  My private keys for signing are all moving to an HSM.  Anyone know if there a way for me to accomplish this task still using the ovftool, or am I going to have to come up with an alternate process?

Was mem.hotadd deprecated but not mentioned in the release notes?

$
0
0

Trying to deploy an ovf fails due to an extra config where mem.hotadd is disabled on the example OVF/OVA and I'm using OVFTool 4.3.

OVFTool 4.2 does not error in the same fashion, using the same syntax (--allowExtraConfigs).

The two configs I see in the VM are:

<vmw:Config ovf:required="true" vmw:key="memoryHotAddEnabled" vmw:value="false"/>
<vmw:ExtraConfig ovf:required="true" vmw:key="mem.hotadd" vmw:value="false"/>
