i'm in the process of spec'ing new hardare for a virtualization server for home. decied on ESXi for the OS.
some graphics intensive games will be on windows guests and some on linux guests.
as for a graphics card, when my notebooks connect to any of the guests will a really good graphics card be able to be used by the guests and thus display well via the the remote access?
Hi all
Can anybody can help me with Windows 2012 64bit installation on the VMware ServerVersion 2.0.2Build 203138?
I'm trying to install Windows 2012 from ISO image called: 9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-HRM_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO downloaded from MS
Installation begins but Windows 2012 hangs after few seconds with something like blue screen and
information: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
I searched web for solution but it is hard to find proper solution in this case.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I am receiving this message on one of my vmware servers, and I am desperate to access this drive again as there are database files I need to access that I don't have a copy of anywhere else.
I have tried running windows recovery, and then loading the scci drivers but no hard drive is detected.
Is there any other way to recover this server ?
thanks in advance 
Hi I am new to oracle. I have just started studying for my AD exam so decided to follow train signal and set up a network. I have 2 DC set up both speaking to one another and updating through active directory. I have now set up Vista client and it will not join the domain I get the following message
Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt.
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain globomantics.com:
The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired."
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.globomantics.com

I have been looking now for about 5 days and have tried every single answer solution I have found on the net but I get the same error, I have even tried a windows 7 client and have had the same result.
the 2 DC I have are set up as follows

I am also getting a message now to update my Ethernet but have no idea how to get onto the internet from the VM. I have dropped the driver into the VBOX folder but it will not work. I have also installed Guest additions which I thought was the updated drivers.
this is becoming a pain can somebody help
After upgrading to firefox 3.6 I can't open up my virtual machine through the browser.
I downgraded to 3.5 and it worked.
This is the message I get:
Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out
The attempt to acquire a valid session ticket for * took longer than expected. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Hi
I have several dell servers running VMware server 2.0.2 on Windows server 2008 R2
On each of these servers I have three or four guests, some guests are running windows server 2003 and others running windows server 2008.
We remote administer the Dell physical host servers using terminal services.
Frequently when we log into the host servers we get the following issue
1 – The terminal server session will wait for up to 60 seconds with the message “Please wait for the user profile service”
2 – While the terminal server session to the host has the message, all network connectivity to the guest machines on the host is lost.
3 – When the terminal server session finally logs on to the hosts, network connectivity to the guests resumes.
There are no events or errors in the logs to indicate where the problem may lay.
We have many physical servers that reside in the same domain, both server 2003 and server 2008, but none of them ever experience any issues with terminal services. Only VMware host servers behave this way, and all of them behave the same.
Any suggestions please?
Hi all
I'm running debian lenny on vmware server 2 and all is working fine with my built kernel 2.6.35-14. I have built a new kernel 3.2.31 with quite the same options and it crashes on boot with an early exception 0d :
BIOS data check successful
Decompression Linux... Parsing ELF... done
Booting the kernel
PANIC: early exception 0d rip 10:ffffffff819b2547 error 0 cd2 0
The same behavior is occuring on vmware workstation but NOT on vmware ESXi...also, note that all is working fine on virtualbox and different physical servers.
after googling a lot, I have tried to pass the following options to kernel, but no change :
nosmep acpi=off
if it helps, I've been able to get different addresses of the exception (the 819b2547 is sometime different), but I don't remeber which parameters changed that.
Does anybody have an idea ?
thanks a lot
best regards
Julien
I've recently joined a company and therefore inherited a number of Virtual machines but one in particular is causing me some concern as it randomly blue screens. The kernel memory dump exceeds 400Mb (the maximum that I can make the paging file with the partition space I have available) so I have had to set minidumps instead to get a non truncated report. I have included one mini dump below, and I have also attached the previous minidump, but all of my others are practically identical to these two.
The probable cause in each dump is "memory_corruption". In a physical World I would replace the physical memory and expect that to resolve matters but in a virtual World, where the other virtual servers running on this box are stable, I'm not so sure that memory is the answer.
I was wondering if someone more technically competent than I at diagnosing these dumps, could possible advise me of what the likely cause is and give me something to go on.
This apparently was a physical box before being virtualised if that helps. The BSOD can occur at any time of day or night. Sometimes it goes down twice in a week, sometimes twice in a month. I haven't as yet come up with any pattern or trend that would stimulate the box into a crash.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000097, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000, bitfield :

Hi ,
I am facing an issue where we have an application running on Guest VM ( RHEL 6.1 ). We needed upgrade the OS from RHEL6.1 to RHEL 6.4.
So, we did the upgrade of the VM by attaching RHEL6.4 ISO as CD-ROM device and running the standard OS upgrade. After the OS upgrade is done.
When VM boots up Guest console freezes just before the login screen as show in the below screenshot:
Here, I can login to guest via ssh/telnet but, from console I can't login or do any operation. I tried pressing CTR+ALT+DEL VM get's rebooted but again the console just freeze at this step.
I also tried the suspend and then resume option (found workaround on some forums)
Here, We are using VSphere client 5.1.0
I wanted to know first if it's known issue what's defect id for it. Also , If there is any workaround (patch).
Thanks,
AmitW
Hi!
I am using vmware since about one year on my quite slow machine - worked great for small systems.
Via Nehemiah 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Debian Etch with selfcompiled kernel 2.6.26.5.
vmware server 1.0.4 run great on 2.6.24.X (I think), later the moduls didn't compile altough actual vmware-any-any-patches.
today I upgrade to vmware server 2.0 and loved it, because it compiled without problems (except vsock, but I think I dont need it) and without any patches. great.
but, my machines are not working. I have no idea why this happens - here is a logfile, perhaps anybody is able to help me.
The machine tries to start, modules are loaded correctly without errors, no special logs in dmesg is reported ...
As I have (as small homeuser) no support I am not venturing sending the file anywhere which was created with vm-support.
Thanks.

I am login as Admin, but cannot find the specific policy preventing Windows installer from installing VMware2.
The following is the pop up message received: “The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation”
I did not have problem installing Anti-Virus. There is no restriction set from GPO Admin Template for Windows Components\Windows Installer.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated,

Hallo,
need HELP.
i had 3 virtual machines (1xW2k3 DC and 2xW2k3 as an virtual Cluster) with Virtual Server 1.05 on my Laptop (XP SP2) created.
USB functions great.
Then our IT installs Vista SP1 on my Laptop. OK....no problem i thought...what a great optimism. 
On the new installed Laptop i install the new Vmware Server 1.07 and import the old with Virtual Server 1.05 created virtual machines.
But after connecting an USB-Drive i wasn´t able to connect the device in the virtual machine...it was greyed out.
After severel trys to reanimate it i decide to install VMware Server 2.0. But the same Problem. In the Remote Console i can see what type of USB-Drive is connected like "Sandisk USB-Massstorage", but the connect Button is greyed out.
The problem i see is, that on the hostsystem the "VMmware USB-Device"-Driver is not installed and the guest-Systems think that he is installed.
All attempts were in vain to install this driver manually on the Laptop (host-system).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks Juergen
Hi,
if I run: vmrun -T server -h https://intel-ht-005/sdk -u root -p passwd listRegisteredVM, I get this result:
Total registered VMs: 4
test/Clone of SLES10sp1-64bit.vmx
1/Clone of SLES10sp1-64bit.vmx
2/Clone of SLES10sp1-64bit.vmx
3/Clone of SLES10sp1-64bit.vmx
For God's sakes, what's with this editor Standard in the above output is enclosed in brackets.
Then I run this command: vmrun -T server -h https://intel-ht-005/sdk -u root -p passwd -gu root -gp passwd runProgramInGuest "[standard] test/Clone of SLES10sp1-64bit.vmx" ifconfig
I get: Error: A file was not found
Not sure if my syntax is wrong or what this error is trying to tell me, no matter what command I try (ifconfig, ls, echo) whatever, I get this error.
Thanks in advance
Hi there
My system looks like this:
Host: Sun X4150 (2x Intel Xeon x5460 quad-core processors, 32GB RAM, 4 disks in RAID5 configuration), running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (fully patched), with latest build of VMWare Server 2.0
VM's: three running Solaris 10
five running Server 2003.
At random intervals (usually when one of the VM's is doing something major like rebooting, deploying a large web application, etc but sometimes for no obvious reason) the host machine grinds almost to a halt, dragging the VM's with it. At these times, CPU and Memory useage are running fairly low, but Disk IO is extremely high - queue of between 200 and 300 operations (compared to a normal queue length of under 6).
I've followed all common sense ideas to try reduce the load on the disk, such as uninstalling antivirus tools, avoiding disk-intensive (or for that matter, ANY) operations on the host, confirming that write-caching is enabled, and so on but there has been no noticeable change.
Any other suggestions for ideas which I may have missed?
Just upgraded VMware Server to version 2. I have an HP LaserJet 3015 AIO connected to my Ubuntu 8.04 machine via USB. Previous version I was able to get the printer hooked up and running on my W2K Pro VM. But now I having some difficulty getting the printer installed. When I look in the device manager in the System Control Panel, I see a exclamation point on it. Looking the properties is says that the drivers for this device are not installed. I go and try to install the device drivers and I get an error. It says, "An error occurred in the installation of the device. The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this instance." I ran through the driver installation software from HP to install the printer. It says that it installed the printer driver. When I try to "Add a Printer" and select find a plug and play printer, it cannot find the printer. Is there anything special that I need to do to get my LaserJet hooked up to the Guest Host?
I am new to Vmware... and not sure what to do...
I downloaded the Linux version of VMware Server 2.0. I installed it on a Fedora 5 host as see in the report below.
""""""""" Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine communication interface
VM communication interface socket family:

I am able to access the VMware Infrastructure WebAccess on port 8222 ( in my case http://0.0.0.0:8222 ) and view the panels. I see the various networks that I configured, Bridged=vmnet0 ;; HostOnly=vmnet1 ;; NAT=vmnet8 on the summary page. I then created a Virtual Machine 1 using RedHat as a guest OS, I can power it on or off, and select it from the Virtual Machines panel ( next to summmary)
Question: How do I access this Virtual Machine? How do I install s/w etc....
Thanks for your response,
Jonathan.
Since an unexpected reboot of the Linux machine (Ubuntu 8.10), the windows XP Professional that was installed in the vmware server 2 machine stopped working. Now everytimei turn it on, a blue screen appears, with the message "BAD_POOL_CALLER", and it keeps restarting itself. I am unable to start in safe mode, because the same blue screen appears...
Does anybody know the cause, or have any solution to repair the windows machine? I attached a snapshot of the error.
Thank you very much

Windows could not start the VMware Host Agent on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -1.

OK

I installed VMware-server-2.0.0-116503 on Dell Inspiron 518 Quad Core Vista Home Premium back in October. It worked and I installed XP VM which also worked. I got distracted and just got back to it today and I can't get the Host Service to start. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Searched forums - can't find anything pertinent. Discovered a new build VMware-server-2.0.0-122956 so downloaded it, uninstalled rebooted, installed, rebooted and still no start.
Are there any wise souls out there?
On Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64, getting a system event error "The VMware Host Agent service terminated unexpectedly" and a corresponding application event error "Faulting application vmware-hostd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module vmacore.dll, version 1.0.2073.0, fault address 0x00011dc1."

In vmserver 1 docs, there was clear instructions how to use it, but not in vmserver 2. I tried to guess it, and result is close, but no cigar:
My home machine has vmserver2 installed (Fedora 10, x64) and I need to access my work, using the ssh tunnel through the firewall. Defaulr vmserver ports are already in use, so I selected arbitrary 11111 and forwarded to the server (also Linux, RHEL4, x64). The GUI works ok, but obviously clicking on the console opens it with 8333 port (bug number 1), which is local server. So I asked it to create desktop link:
/x/u/tad/.mozilla/firefox/m4lpb8dy.default/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins/vmware-vmrc -h "localhost:8333" -M "16"
and edited it changing 8333 to 11111
Double click and I have the login window, it accepts proper credentials and displays proper name of VM, but then it pops the message about 'incorrect MKS login' (or something similar) and then it dies. Clicking again has different effect - it gets stuck in connecting progress bar. So there is a bug number 2.
I tried to figure out if there is additional port to forward (maybe 902 ?) but I found no way to supply new port id to vmrc - obviously I have to use different local port, because 902 on a localhost is taken.
BTW - The same situation may happen without the tunnel, when I try to open console on remote server, using host which also has server installed - all applications will be confused which one is local and which is remote.
