    System Preferences quits

    I'll give it a shot tonight. BTW, I created a new account with admin rights but was not able to replicate the issue. I also deleted the desktop and screen saver preferences from the \username\library\caches and deleted the Desktop folder. I then went into the caches\preferences and deleted...

    System Preferences quits

    There were disk permission issues, and the Disk Utility successfully fixed them. However, unfortunately, that didn't resolve the issue. Still, thanks for the heads up about the Disk Utility. VMware Certified Professional Microsoft Certified Nut.

    System Preferences quits

    I can't say that I have. I'm a still a switcher noob when it comes to Macs. If this were Windows I would have already loaded this up in a debugger ;) Can you point me in the right direction for repairing disk permissions? thx VMware Certified Professional Microsoft Certified Nut.

    System Preferences quits

    Hello All, I have a new MacBook Pro that I have just attached to a Viewsonic VX2025wm display panel via DVI. After connecting the monitor and booting, I opened System Preferences > Display. I configured the upper monitor to 1680 X 1050 and left the MacBook Pro display at 1440 X 900 (of course)...

    P2V Assistant unexpected error: "modReconfigureFiles"

    Hi tfg13. Yea, it was all on me.... I redid everything and it works. It would be nice to know what the error actually means, but I don't feel like burning an incident with VMware. Thx VMware Certified Professional Microsoft Certified Nut.

    P2V Assistant unexpected error: "modReconfigureFiles"

    Hi all, I'm trying to P2V a vmdk from within a helper VM. All files have been restored to the extra vmdk. I start running through P2V assitant and the vmdk is recognized with a Windows 2000 SP4 installation. It shows the Disk Volume and Operating System Information, however when I click NEXT, I...

    Urgent:VMware Server Installation location

    Because you are mirroring two physical drives, you will treat them as ONE physcial drive. So there is no difference where you install VMware Server. IMO, you have plenty of space on your system partition. VMware server has a rather small footprint, disk space wise. Your 270GB partition is...

    Fedora Core 5 and VMWare 5.5 problems

    Try creating a CUSTOM VM. When you get to SCSI devices, select LSILOGIC. I found that BUSLOGIC doesn't work on Fedora Core. BTW, I'm not sure about this, but I think Fedora Core 5 is not yet supported. Check VMware's website to verify this. Microsoft Certified Nut.

    Urgent:VMware Server Installation location

    Your initial post states that you partitioned two drives. It doesn't specify if you have two PHYSICAL drives or you have two partitions on one physical drive. If you have two physical drives, then go ahead and install VMware Server on the root directory, which is the default install. Put your...

    ESX Hardware considerations

    An extra note is that if the ESX server goes down, you won't be using VMotion. You'll need to copy the config files for each VM to the other ESX server and re-register the VM on the target ESX server. So be sure to backup your config files to a LUN so they'll be there if something goes wrong...

    VMware Training Course

    I finished the class and got my VCP a couple of weeks ago. Definately worth it. However there will be substantial changes in ESX 3.0 and VC2.0. 64bit OS support, paravirtualization for linux distros, 16GB limit on VMs, support for VT and Pegasus, are just a few. However my instructor did...

    Hang when creating virtual disk

    sstoppel, Are you creating a monolithic disk or are you dividing your vm into 2GB segments? I'm not sure of file size limitations on ext3 (if that is the filesystem you are using) but splitting the vmdk files up might help. If you are already splitting it up into sections, try going...

    Mac Address on VMWare

    No issues here either. Of course I've got dual gigabit NICs connect to each virutal switch on my ESX servers. I am also using VLANCE. Can you be more specific? Are you utilizing all of your bandwidth? Have you tried running any network monitors to see if your switch is rejecting packets or...

    Reviews

    GSX is dependent on the Host OS (linux or Windows) so you have all that overhead to deal with. ESX is a very barebones os that remaps hardware to the virutal servers, this takes up ALOT less overhead and results in better performance. I wouldn't be so quick to blame GSX for your printer...

    Disk space monitoring

    If you are looking for an alert when disk space falls below a certain amount, you should set up an alert in Perfmon. Set the following counter: \\computername\LogicalDisk(driveletter:)\Free Megabytes When the Value is under a set point, you can run a script to send you and email via SMTP...

    Does XP sp1 have popupstopper?

    Correct, IE6 on WinXP SP1, AND IE6 SP1 itself, doesn't come with a popup blocker. If IE6 SP1 came with a popup blocker, you would have that functionality in Win2k. The IE6 installation on XP uses a different version of wininet.dll than IE6 for other versions of Windows. Microsoft Certified Nut.

    DCOM Error 10016

    Try searching for the SID in the registry. That may point you towards the DCOM entry you need to modify. Microsoft Certified Nut.

    Remote reboot "hangs"

    after doing that SFC, enable USERENV logging... Something in Winlogon is the likely culprit. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Operations/0907105e-7856-4c93-b97f-a9a306623af5.mspx Microsoft Certified Nut.
