Office 2013 Pro - Outlook only printing to default printer

$
0
0

Throwing this out there before I log this with VMware, VMWare engineering team successfully resolved an issue we had with Outlook email previewing not working, unfortunately since the fix we have migrated from Standard to Professional Pro, the fix for the Outlook previewing still works but we now have an issue where printing from Outlook will only print to the default printer no matter what printer you choose, it appears to just ignore your printer choice and send to default, anyone experienced this? All other Office applications are printing fine, just Outlook is displaying this behaviour.

 

- Office Professional Plus 2013 32bit captured on Windows 7 vanilla 32bit, straight capture, no plugins etc

- Steaming to Window 7 64bit

- Using ThinApp 5.2.2 build 4978772

- Outlook is printing fine from capture machine, does not revert to default printer

Add VM to DRS Rule

$
0
0

I am working on a script and a PowerCLI commandlet seems to already be written for it. The script adds an existing vm to an existing DRS Rule.

 

Here is the code for the commandlet I would like to replicate:

 

$spec=New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$spec.groupSpec =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec[] (1)
$spec.groupSpec[0] =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec
$spec.groupSpec[0].operation ="edit"
$spec.groupSpec[0].info =$DrsGroup
$spec.groupSpec[0].info.vm +=$VM.ExtensionData.MoRef

$Cluster.ExtensionData.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($spec, $true)


To my understanding, something along the following lines can be done to translate this to Perl:

1. Create a ClusterGroupSpec object with the correct information. I fail here, and am unsure of how to add "info.vm" into ClusterGroupSpec in Perl.

     my $cluster_group_spec = ClusterGroupSpec->new(operation => "edit", info => $drs_rule_name...


2. Pass this as a ClusterConfigSpecEx object into rulesSpec

     my $cluster_config_spec = ClusterConfigSpecEx->new(rulesSpec => [$cluster_group_spec]);


3. Reconfigure with spec as $cluster_config_spec.


What I am confused about is how to pass in info.vm from the PowerCLI. There is no member of info or ClusterConfigInfo called "vm". How would I tell the Group Spec what VM to use?



 

Updated the title to be more informative (it is no longer solely a "translation", the thread contains the answer to the title now).

SRM PSC Configuration change during Embedded to External PSC migration

$
0
0


I'm in the process of breaking out Embedded PSCs to External PSCs.

 

I have a question regarding the SRM configuration.

 

At present the VC is pointing to it's Embedded PSC, SRM is pointing to the vCenter & its Embedded PSC.

 

I have deployed an external PSC as a replication partner with the embedded PSC, is it possible to now repoint SRM to the external PSC BEFORE repointing the vCenter to the external PSC or is it a requirement that SRM uses the same PSC as the vCenter?

 

Ideally i'd like to removal all external reliance on the embedded PSC before re-pointing the VC to the external PSC and retiring the embedded PSC.

 

Before is what i'd like to do...SRM.jpg

Salve, qualcuno di voi sa se è corretto che Dell rivenda prodotti VMWare con 3 anni di subscription (vSphere) e poi non offra supporto per quello che riguarda la configurazione e non si possa effettuare nessuna domanda relativa a VMWare sulla configurazione?

Placeholder VM location

$

What is the best practice for "placing" placeholder VMs?  Should they be on the same array I am recovering to at the recovery site?  Should they be on local disk?  Is there a good discussion that addresses pros and cons for placing placeholder VMs in a particular location based on different use cases?

 

Thanks!

Getting the task object from a blocking task for vdcRecomposeVapp (create a new VM)

$

Hi,

 

I have a workflow that gets a blocking task message from AMQP and attempts to get the actual task details.  The code looks like:-

 

task = document..EntityLink.(@type == "vcloud:task").@id;
System.log("task: "+task);
var taskObject = vcdHost.getEntityById(VclFinderType.TASK,task);

 

This works fine when deleting a VM from a vApp and when copying a VM to a vApp.  However, when i create a new VM in a vApp, it fails to get the task object.  I have checned that the task reference retrived from teh message is the same as the task reference shown in vDC blocking tasks.

 

Am i doing somethng wrong, or for a create do i have to do something different?

 

Thanks

VM Stress - Maintenance Schedule

$

Hi,

 

A high percentage of my VMs are alerting on high CPU causing stress, this is then having a knock on affect on capacity/time remaining and throwing my undersized machine reports out. An example is shown below;

Capturestress.PNG

The CPU demand is only peaking once a month which coincides with a scheduled AV scan, if I set a Maintenance Schedule while the scan runs, apart from stopping any alerts during that time will it also have the desired affect on my stress calculation or is there another way to go about this?

vROPS import of data from migrated VM

We're migrating our VMs to a new vCenter using Zerto.  After the migration, there are 2 entries in vROPS for the same VM.  One of them (old) is not collecting, the new one is.  However there is no historical data for the new VM.  Is there any way to get this imported to the new vm?

Facing firewall issue on VMWare 11.0 trail version

Hi,

I have installed VMware version 11.0 trail version . After that I have installed CentOs 6.9 and did all the necessary configuration. hostname -i command provide the ip address also ifconfig give the same IP address.

While try to ping the same IP address from my local system unable to ping as request time out.

Need to know do we have any firewall setting on VMWare level as well also because it's not reachable to the CentOs server it's my observation. For verification I tried with Redhat Linux installation getting same error.

Please help in this.

 

Thanks

Horizion 'the connection to the remote computer ended'

$
0

we are using esxi 6, horizon clients 4 for vdi.  I recently had to move my parent image to a new vsphere as well as change connection/composer servers.  In this big undertaking I eventually got everyone connected except for 1 user.  The user launches the client, enters password and it launches into the environment and then immediately disconnects with 'the connection to remote computer ended'

 

we are using pciop

the fw should not be an issues since all the other pc's in that dept get the same rules via gp

its not the user individually I've tried different accounts, even logging into the win7 32bit pc as myself with no luck.

I tried to uninstall the client and re install completely.

I saw on another forum someone asking if we have a disclaimer at login, we do but I don't see that come up it disconnects too fast.

I have looked over the UI log file in app data but I don't see where it tells me much more than what it already does   'connection ended'

 

 

any thoughts or ideas on this would be appreciated.

Control size of VMware Horizon View Blast logs

$

0

Hi all,

 

We have a problem affecting some of our VDIs which are accessed using the BLAST protocol. The logs created on the client machine (in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Blast) can get to many GB in size. This in turn has caused issues with the C: drive filling up and VDIs going into a state of 'Agent Unreachable' due to the lack of disk space.

 

Is there any way of controlling the size of these logs, at what size they should loop/overwrite, etc?

 

As a workaround we have a job running on log out to remove the contents of the aforementioned folder, but in the event of a) a user staying logged in for days or longer, and b) needing those logs for troubleshooting, it's not a very satisfactory one.

 

The VDI OS is Windows 7, with Horizon View Agent v7.0.0 running on them.

 

Thanks in advance!

How to Disable / Enable a VM's Network Adapter DirectPath I/O Parameter

Hi!

 

 

There are examples on the internet on how to get this setting, like

 

(Get-VM -Name "a-vm-name" | Get-NetworkAdapter).ExtensionData.UptCompatibilityEnabled

 

but there is none on how to set it. I know I could use Onyx but my vCenter has overtaken it (6.0 --> 6.5). Maybe I can get a quicker answer here...

 

 

 

Thanks
