Also the same for me, my suspicion based on some other current issues is that URL redirects are not working properly - I have reported it in the moderators area which the admins also frequent.

For the link at the first post that's some weird access rules set...


As a moderator I can access the page and download it.
Not logged in I can access the page and downloading redirects me to a login page.
Logged in as a user I cannot access the page and as such also not download anything.

For the "last VVD article link"
I also get an error as moderator. It redirects to "https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Migration-Archive-Deleted/Visio-Stencils-for-the-VMware-Validated-... especially the "migration-archive-deleted" part in that link is worrying.

Any updates on this as we require the visio stencils. Seems weird VMware would hide them so well.

Yes, I wanted to access the same doc. I made this whole account on this website for this 1 file and I still cannot access it!

Not sure if you still need access to the file, but I was having the same issue and I used the Wayback Machine to access the link and download the Tiny Core Linux VM. As far as I know, it is the correct version and the download worked just fine. Here you go: https://web.archive.org/web/20190323130819if_/https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-21621

Everyone else should just be able to input their link here. Hope this helps!

That link goes to a Tiny Linux OVA file. Visio Stencils are still playing Ninja. Anyone find them yet?

Yes, that first link was intended to be directed to the Tiny Linux file for the user in need. There was another link in my post which leads to the Wayback Machine. If you follow the link (attached to the word "here" in my comment), then input the URL of the original post you are trying to access, you should see an archived version of the page and then you will be able to get what you need.
