sharing folders in vmware

AndreTheGiant — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 06:08:16 GMT

Enable the fileserver role in the guest OS.
Also check guest firewall configuration and verify that you can access at administrative shares (\\name\c$ for example).

What is the special about the VmWare

AndreTheGiant — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:57:17 GMT

I think that each version of Virtual Infrastructure/vSphere has his "best" feature.
But also depends on what do you mean with "best"
Do you mean from tecnical point of view, from user/administrator point of view, or compared with other competitor?

In VS4 I agree that FT could be the "best" feature (with all his limits of version 1.0).

Reseting Password in Windows on VMware

Jasemccarty — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 02:14:55 GMT

Welcome to the forums.

When you say you need to reset a password, is it for a guest?

What is the version of Windows? XP Pro/Home when not in a domain, can be booted into safe mode, and then you can log in as Administrator, and reset a password.

Have you looked for a Windows password reset utility?

I'd start with Google...

Hi,

Welcome to the VMware forums!

It is best to repost your question in the following forum:
http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/managementapi

The following page might also help a little bit (if you didn't find the links on there already by yourself)

Welcome to the VMware Community forums. Which VMware product are you using?

Can VCP's get a discounted VMWorld Subscription?

gr1pp3rjay — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:01:34 GMT

Hi all.

I know that us VCP's get a discount on the real VMWorld (and Europe) but do we also get a discount for the virtual VMWorld subscription?

I hope so, because my credit card can't handle $699 straight after Christmas!

Cheers.

Where can I found the documents and articles on the VMworld 2008?

tom howarth — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 09:30:29 GMT

At this moment in time the downloads from VMworld 2008 are only for those that attended the conference. they will start to release them after February

Session Presentations

esiebert7625 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:17:46 GMT

Update: http://www.vmworld.com/vmworld/message/3642

Yes, just as Eric has described, all breakout sessions will offer PDFs, MP3 podcasts AND streaming flash presentations (audio over slides). Labs will offer PDFs of the manuals and presentations (some have additional lab exercises and scripts). But the labs will not come with streaming flash presentations. As an added bonus, all attendees will get access to all sponsor keynotes as PDFs, MP3s and streaming flash presentations as well. Check the site Friday for the release of this content. Cheers, Tony

VMworld Storage Sessions

JDLangdon — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:57:53 GMT

Does anyone know what topics will be discussed during the BOF120 Storage/SANs in a Virtual Environment Vmworld session? I'm looking for something that will touch on LUN sizing and SVC implementations.

Couple Questions...

buckethead — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:53:41 GMT

In the past years there have been snacks and drinks put out at break time in the mornings and afternoons. It will go quick though. I always have a few protein bars packed in my backpack just in case I get hungry and there are not snacks that I want to eat. I also fill up a water bottle every morning so that I got something to drink.

In LA there were plenty of snacks, but last year it did seem like they ran out a lot in San Francisco.

Dress Code?

Schedule Builder Feedback

I had overlapping content in my schedule. Granted I've since dropped one of the overlapping sessions but they did overlap.

Authors With Books

JDLangdon — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:12:14 GMT

Texiwill wrote:I know the prices are outrageous in Canada for books. Never really understood that... And those prices are without PST/GST added to it.... I shudder to think of the final prices.

In Newfoundland I pay an addition 14% HST so your book purchased on-line at Chapters.ca would cost me $62.69 plus shipping.

I'm sure there's a really good reason why books cost so much more in Canada, but, until someone makes it believable, I'll be getting my books in Vegas.

Anyone else going from the UK?

biozfear — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:11:43 GMT

The flights did work out really well - was fun telling the boss I can either go on Saturday for £700, or the Sunday for £1300! 'You better go for the extra day then - keep costs down!'

I relunctantly accepted.

Can't wait to go either - my first real conference/time in Vegas/meeting other people who've used this technology other than me!

Twitter @ VMworld

seagull — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:23:24 GMT

Now you can send tweets directly to vmworld. Here are the steps:

1) Follow VMworld

2) Send direct message to VMworld. Example: D vmworld <your message >

This message will send notification to everyone following vmworld on twitter. Note that, twitter has rate limits to direct messages and API updates, some of them are:

* 1000 total updates per day, on any and all devices

* 250 total direct messages per day, on any and devices

* 70 API requests per hour

* Maximum number of follow attempts in a day.

Sending tweets to all VMworld twitters with single text message is great, however anyone abusing or misusing will be blocked.

Labs at VMworld?

DonatoVM — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:16:02 GMT

Good deal! I'll need day(s) and times of the sessions you'd like to attend. if you have a couple of options that may work even better.

Tips for New Attendees?

buckethead — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:55:40 GMT

If you are registered for the sessions you are all set. I would still recommend checking every so often to make sure nothing changes.

FYI: Changes made to Breakout Session Schedule

Kirk S — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:35:12 GMT

Ok, that scared me. My schedule was all built last week, and I was stuck in an appointment when I got this email this morning. Fortunately, appears to be no impact on my own personal schedule.

Way to scare a guy on a Monday morning!

Training at VMworld

JDLangdon — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:54:45 GMT

Anyone registered for training during the week prior to VMworld? Looks like the much awaited VMware Infrastructure: Design course is being offered for the first time. VMware is also putting off the VMware Infrastructure 3: Fast Track V3.5 during the same week.
