I'm assuming you're on the "Creator's Update" since that killed my Alfa external network card on VMWare as well.
I'm not sure if this is more of a VMWare issue or a Microsoft one (probably the latter), but yeah, there are some things I need to do that I can't until this gets resolved or I can find a workaround.
Based on what you stated; I checked vmware-vmx.exe and it shows in Task Manager with the (32 bit) suffix. Right-clicking it and selecting Open file location, takes me to VMware\VMware Workstation\x64, which supports the conclusion that it's 64-bit. However, there are two files in that x64 folder, which imply that they're 32 bit: libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll.
This appears to be lazy packaging on the part of VMware! If you're going to create a folder (x64) to, presumably, contain your 64 bit executables, why muddle in some 32-bit executables? No wonder we support technicians are starting to get as frustrated with VMware as we are with Microsoft - neither company appears to apply any professionalism (other than making the most $$$ they can) to their products. Shame on them!
That is not quite correct.
Task Manager should list vmware.exe as a 32-bit process and should list vmware-vmx.exe as a 64-bit process. We do not ship a 32-bit version of vmware-vmx.exe.
Also, do not be misled by the naming of libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll. Those are third-party libraries (from OpenSSL), and those are their default filenames, even for 64-bit versions. I assure that we have not "muddled in some 32-bit executables" into the x64 folder (64-bit processes generally cannot use 32-bit DLLs) and that absolutely strive for professionalism.
It's bad enough that I can't do an online snapshot if there are independent disks in the guest.
You think it's bad, but it is the only sensible choice. An independent disk is a disk that is not affected by snapshots. If we allowed a snapshot to be taken of a running virtual machine with independent disks, what would happen if you made changes to the independent disk and then restored that snapshot? From the perspective of the guest OS, the contents of one of its local disks would have suddenly changed from under it. Contents of the disk that the guest OS cached in memory would no longer valid, and the guest OS could potentially corrupt the contents of the disk when writing to it. This is really not what you want.
Also, all examples I've seen show a shared vm being able to start up with any user logging in; what I need is the VM running as long as the computer is on, regardless of any users being logged into the host
That is not correct. Shared VMs configured to autostart do not require users to log in because shared VMs are run via a system service. You also can edit the %ProgramData%\VMware\hostd\vmAutoStart.xml file and configure autostart VMs to automatically suspend (or shut down) when the host shuts down.
Hi all,
we're currently trying to migrate to App Volumes + UEM with Horizon 7.1 instant clones. UEM is configured to capture user profile and data to a file share. We have a lot of issues with applications settings not being captured. Using UEM profiling to pre-configure the applications is very tedious. We're considering adding a writable volume+profile template in the mix to capture things that UEM does not capture, however someone mentioned that it's not supported?
Have anyone had any success using writable volumes (UIA+profile) with UEM? Any caveats going this route?
Thanks!
Since i have NO issues with the Adapter in the HOST, same version of Windows 10. It's without question a VMWare issue.
Hi,
In p.217 in NSX-v 6.3 API manual, flow monitoring API is written as the below.
https://pubs.vmware.com/nsx-63/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/nsx_63_api.pdf
Working With Flow Monitoring Statistics
GET /2.1/app/flow/flowstats
This monitoring feature can be used if "collectFlows" is true by using "PUT /2.1/app/flow/config" API.
My tests (in using 6.2.7) are the followings.
==========
1. Check the current configuration
# curl -sk -u <USER NAME>:<PASSWORD> -X GET https://<NSXMGR ADDR>/api/2.1/app/flow/config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FlowConfiguration>

<id>macset-1</id>
<type>MACSet</type>
</destinationContainer>
<destinationPorts>138,137</destinationPorts>
</FlowConfiguration>
---
2. Change "collectFlows" to "true" (POST API or Web UI: [Networking & Security] -> [Flow Monitoring] -> [Configuration] -> Change "Global Flow Collection Status" to "Enabled")
# curl -ik -u <USER NAME>:<PASSWORD> -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X PUT https://<NSXMGR ADDR>/api/2.1/app/flow/config -d "<FlowConfiguration>
<collectFlows>true</collectFlows>

<id>macset-1</id>
<type>MACSet</type>
</destinationContainer>
<destinationPorts>138,137</destinationPorts>
</FlowConfiguration>"

3. Get meta-data
# curl -sk -u <USER NAME>:<PASSWORD> -X GET https://<NSXMGR ADDR>/api/2.1/app/flow/flowstats/info
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FlowStatsInfo>

Hi, I am Windows 98 on VMware and I have Windows 8 as host pc. I need to share folder between my host to win 98. When I am trying to download VMware tools it's not downloading. A massage is coming and its massage is "Unrecognized data on the update server (4007). Try again later and if the problem persists, contact VMware support or your system administrator." Please help me. thank you.
Dear All,
Greetings!
After upgrade from ESXi 5.1.0 (Build 1483097) to ESXi 6.0 - (Build 5050593)
Abnormally ESXi Host lost link and gives PSOD (Purple Screen of Death) screen and getting all VMs Down status.
Pl Provide Solution for same.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a blueprint or form that a user can fill out to provision an OVA/OVF?
I realise that each OVA/OVF may have specific questions to complete by the user and was wondering if a dynamic form could be created (by opening up the OVA/OVF), or vRA properties could be passed to the command-line ovftool - e.g. hostname, networking info.
Once it is depolyed, vRO could run a post-action to import the machine into vRA for day-2 operations.
Any thoughts?
If I created a separate reservation and reservation policy for each placement option, I could still have a single blueprint if I could somehow dynamically change the reservation policy binding of the blueprint during the request time (based on business group).
Does this sound like a workable approach? Does anyone know how to do this?
You just saved me hours of fiddling around with OPNSense. My Windows and OS-X guests were fine, but was getting a black screen on boot with this OPNSense ISO. Thought it was a FreeBSD 11 issue or something, but as you noted, no POST screen or anything.
Where did you get this info? Anyone from VMware watching? Will an official fix be rolled out?
Hi,
I chose to uninstall open-vm-tools and install the VMware Tools in this trial vCenter Server Appliance 6.5.
Thanks
Hello,
Running ESXi 6.5
I removed A NiC card and Added 2x More NICs, also moved A GPU down some slots. Did not move my 2x HBAs.
(EDIT) And CPUs were Changed to 2x X5670
Now when I try to start FreeNAS VM, It says it cant find the HBA it was using for over A month .. the ID has changed ... How do I change it back or Update it..
this is what it says
"
Key
haTask-12-vim.VirtualMachine.powerOn-130836713
Description
Power On this virtual machine
Virtual machine
FreeNAS
State
Failed - Module 'DevicePowerOn' power on failed.
Errors
Module 'DevicePowerOn' power on failed.
Device 18:0.0 was not found.
Failed to start the virtual machine. "
The HBA is now listing as 13.0.0 in the hardware tab.
Thank you, David
It's nice to know, that people did it, but - why is there no Download? Disk Image for Acronis or Dump or .iso? I feel left alone, and i think many others that step on this Thread without sayin sth. too.

Hello everybody!
I have 3 servers of same configuration (compatible in HCL). Was installed vsphere and esxi 6.0 latest version (U3). Deployed vSAN. Everything was great. It worked for a long time - no errors, no problem.
After updating to 6.5 (via ISO 201704001-5310538), all hosts have problems:
1. They do not enter in the Maintenance mode - error "Operation timed out".
2. Also, when rebooting, hosts began to boot very long (approximately 20 minutes instead of 5).
3. In vSAN Health I see the error "vSAN CLOMD liveness - failed", the status for hosts is "Abnormal" - "can not connect to clomd process and possible it's down".
When using the command "/etc/init.d/clomd start" CLOMD is started, but just a minute down again.
*Note (maybe important?) after updating the hypervisor and vserver, the drivers and firmware for the disk subsystem were updated via the web client (vsphere itself suggested updating).
Any help?
Try like this
Get-ViewExtensionManager|Select-ExpandPropertyExtensionList|select @{N='Name';E={$_.Description.Label}},Version,Company
Try placing the $PSModuleAutoloadingPreference = 'None' in your profile file.
Try like this
Get-VMHost-PipelineVariable$esx|Get-VMHostSysLogServer|
Select @{N='VMHost';E={$esx.Name}},
@{N='SyslogServer';E={$_.Host,$_.Port -join':'}}
You don't need to have Excel installed to use ImportExcel (that's the beauty of that module).
Your assumption is correct, the aggregated statistics are stored on the vCenter, not ESXi nodes involved.
The query towards the vCenter will of course use some resources, but normally they should be neglegible.
