Hi,
This procedure should help you:
Set the Default Domain for vCenter Single Sign-Onhttps://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.psc.doc/GUID-11E651EF-4503-43BC-91F1-15502D586DE2.html

As it turned out in the web version, this is a glitch, I opened version 5 through the client and expanded everything through an incore
Hi Douglas42Adams,
Are you by any chance capturing desktop items (like shortcuts) with a Personalization config file?
Yes, that should be possible
Returned Red on all results not explicitly defined like DEV-QA.
And my last attempt
Select -First 10 Name,

I tested out the deviceChange but I'm getting some errors. Would this script also handle a scenario where there are multiple adapters present on a VM?
darrenoid - did you ever test this out with other versions of Win10?
I'm seeing this same behavior with Win10 1903. Guest Customization halts until someone logs in. I even have the Customization Spec with an autologin count of 1 like you suggested, but one still has to login for it to finish.
Yes, the script runs through all vNIC attached to the VM.
But I noticed from the 1st error that it says
while that should be
That was an error I corrected immediately after posting my reply, but you might have copied before my correction was in.
Sorry LucD, no joy. You got everything to where it needed to be, I just made it an ugly baby.
I am using player 3.1.5 build-491717, which has worked for me for years.
Trying to do DOS/WIN is a real problem, USB didn't exist, I have to load a driver for the CD rom
with a driver I don't have after installing Dos and Windows. Typical of DOS in the Config.sys:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:123
So at present, I can only get files into this vm by floppy images.
But I need to get the VM Tools for Windows 95, but that failed to download.
This vm is getting really hard to "Expand".
Is there a place I can go to get help with this DosBox?
I searched these forums, but all I could get to was a guy who was trying to use Win CE.
Pffffftttttt
I just replied to Susan with this...

I'm having a brain fart here. I need to move a host from one vCenter to another, and to do this I have to move the vmk interfaces back to vSS so I can unjoin the host from the "source" vCenter and join to the "destination" vCenter and then migrate them to the new vDS. My brain fart is what is the command to move the vmk0 (management) back to vSS from vDS?
The flow I'm planning on is create vSwitch0 if it doesn't exist, create the Standard PG in the correct VLAN for Management, then move one pNIC from the vDS to the vSS, then move the vmk0, and finally move the second pNIC to the vSS, then unjoin from the "source" vCenter. I will then rinse and repeat for the destination vCenter.
For background, I have a vCenter that the web client has completely borked itself, and the only option is to migrate to a new vCenter. Doing this manually isn't bad for one or two, or even 10 hosts, but I have almost 200 hosts I need to do this process. So I plan to evacuate a couple hosts, move them to the "destination" vCenter, then use Cross vCenter vMotion to move the VMs to these hosts until I get a chunk moved, move a bunch more hosts, and repeat until complete. Oh, and it's a couple thousand VMs on these hosts, so the more scripted I can make this the better. I already have the Cross vCenter vMotion stuff scripted and such, it's this scripting/automation of moving the host that is alluding me.
If I figure this out before it's answered, I will post here as I'm hearing a lot of folks are having issues with vCenter Appliance 6.0 U3e having certificate issues internally that breaks inventory service and web client, which is the issue I have that engineering at VMware can't figure out.
Yep, I copied before the update. It's looking really close.
I modified the Get-ResourcePool to $destinationRG = (Get-Cluster $destinationCluster | Get-ResourcePool -Name Resources) since I have multiple clusters all with the same RP "Resources".
The cluster I am running this against only has one resource pool, but it seems to think there is multiple values being provided.
I adjusted the $spec.Pool = ($destinationRG.ExtensionData.MoRef | Select Value) to try and only grab the "Value" from the MoRef output but that hasn't worked.
When the script runs I made it output the value of $spec.Pool and this is what I see. For some reason its keeping "Type" inside of the variable even though its blank. I think that might be the issue.
A MoRef is always an object with 2 properties, Type and Value.
You need to pass the complete object
$spec.Pool=$rp.ExtensionData.MoRef
If you have more than 1 resourcepool in $rp after the Get-ResourcePool, you will have to select 1.
Or you can make your selection more specific.
I suspect William has already tackled your issue.
Don't mind the PowerCLI 5.5 reference in the post, this will also work for later PowerCLI versions.
Thanks for the response! I did do that, actually. I found that post on Reddit. I resinstalled it using a different SSO, and I got passed that error! However, now whenever I try to add someone from AD into a group, I get a message that says "Unexpected error encountered while performing your action."
Ok, that makes sense. It doesn't like something with spec.Pool though. The output at the top shows whats in the $spec.Pool variable being supplied. It only contains one RG so it should be correct then?
Hello,
I am trying to do a P2V conversion of a Windows 7 system running vConverter version 6.2.
I would prefer to store the file created by vConverter on a NAS but it rejects it saying it cannot find the file - extension is .vmc.
However, other applications can write to the NAS.
The NAS is mounted to the Z: drive. The program did create a directory but stops there.
Any advice would be welcome.
