Yes, it was user account control. Just had to figure out how to configure them properly and send them to the VM. Thanks.

Re: Cannot allocate more CPUs
Which version are you using? The last version where the vCPU count in the Enterprise edition was limited to 8 was ESXi 5.0.

Installing Horizon View Agent breaks other software
I have a VM running some proprietary software I'll call softwareX. When I install Horizon View agent softwareX won't open.
I spent some time uninstalling/reinstalling softwareX and making a number of other changes to the registry and group policy settings on the active directory server.
Eventually, I got the software to work again, but among all the things I did I can't pinpoint what actually fixed it.
I really want to be able to get to the core of the problem. Is there anywhere where I can find a comprehensive list of what Horizon View Agent does to my system when it's installed? The changes it might make that I'm looking for are: UAC changes, core registry changes, firewall settings, things that would have an effect on SQL databases, etc.

Re: Project Pro and Visio Pro 2103 app stacks cause problems with Word 2013
I think they fixed this if your using appvolumes 2.11, but in appvolumes 2.10 I got the memory error and fixed it by modifying the snapvol.cfg in the appstack. Try following these steps
- Update the AppStack from the App Volumes Manager.
- Attach AppStack to provisioning machine.
- During provisioning mode navigate to c:\snapvolumestemp\mountpoints\{driveguid}\
- Open snapvol.cfg
- Add the following:
- exclude_path=\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
- Save snapvol.cfg
- Finish Provisioning AppStack.
Its the notes I took when I tried fixing the insufficent memory problem. Another thing that might be related, word needs a printer installed. If you deleted all printers, even software printers, the insufficent memory error can occur as well

Re: vSphere Client console only showing part of VM screen
titaniumlegz - Yes it did mess with the font scaling for me as well, but it didn't affect me too much, so I was hoping this wouldn't be the case for you.
This appeared to happen after the last large update to Windows 10. it might be a video driver. The machines that have run into this for my organization were an E5470, M4800, and M7510 so it's all over the place.
I think part of the problem is the apps themselves. they have to be able to handle the scaling of large resolution screens. You can always try to edit the DPI settings on those as well like we did for vCenter, but that's all I know at this time. Sorry I can't be of more assistance on that front, but perhaps

Re: Project Pro and Visio Pro 2103 app stacks cause problems with Word 2013
You need to do this to any appstack that will be attached, so even if office is installed on the base image and you of non office software on other appstacks, those other appstacks need to be modified. The problem was this folder gets virtualized and replaces the folder when users are using the machines. Something in here is needed, but since its not accessible causes issues.

Re: Snapshots - not really there
Using the vmclient, we have noticed that every vm shows a snapshot is present, ...
Where/how do you see these snapshots?
The Snapshot Manager is not necessarily a reliable indicator. If a snapshot deletion fails, the snapshot won't show up in the Snapshot Manager anymore, although it still exists. In such cases you will often see a "Consolidation needed" warning for the affected VMs.

Removing Volume from vCenter containing unused replica?
Hello,
we've got an unused replica in one of our obsolete volumes. It's a left over from clean up.
Would it mess up anything if we would just remove the obsolete volume containing the unused replica from the esxi hosts and vcenter?

Re: Can I use vCenter license twice for TestBed Infrastructure
vCenter Server is licensed "per Instance", and as far as I know there's no exceptionto this. So if you want to run a second instance you can either run it for 60-days in evaluation mode, or by purchasing another license.

ESXi v5.5 U3 SSL Certificate not "checking in"
Curious if anyone else has seen this. I enable HA on the cluster and I have a host that won't join HA, the error comes out as HA is unavailable. Checking the fdm log I see the below error.
Its not like normal SSL errors where the cert is bad, the problem is the new cert is good its just not being accepted. For the peer thumbprint it shows the thumbprint of the new cert, for the expectedthumbprint it shows the old cert. For whatever reason it just won't look for the new one even though the cert is perfectly fine. Any way to force vCenter to look for the new one? Its like its just not registering for some reason.
I've done all the basic stuff like remove it from the cluster and add it back in. Restart it, restart management agents. I even emptied the cluster out completly and added everything back, same answer.

Re: VMWare Fusion 6.0.6 and MacOS Sierra?
Hi,
barclakj said:
Now I need to work out if I'm prepared to fork out for the upgrade or head down the virtualbox route...
FYI in the following thread they talk about conflicts with having both VB and Fusion installed on macOS Sierra.
"Could not open /dev/vmmon" on macOS 10.12
There's even a statement that VB cannot be installed on macOS Sierra (I have not tried, so can't deny/confirm, it also does not say it doesn't work, just that the installer has issues)
