Hi, I'm try to run list_vms.pl using perl sdk vmware. So I installed: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-6.7.0-8156551.x86_64.tar.gz However the perl sdk vmware does not appear to install: Com::Vmware::Vapi::Util::Logger which is required by the perl script, list_vms.pl Question Is this by design or did I do something wrong during the install? If not, what other perl VMWare SDK packages do I need? ps. perl is not very helpful as the main SDK requires lots of modules and even using cpanm [cpanminus] there were many packages that I need that needs to be done by hand. This is not an VMWare problem but more of a perl problem.

Hi, I've cloned a live VM (powered on; already in an AD domain) in vSpere 6.0. The VM being cloned is Windows 2008R2 of about 300gb. On the  cloned server I want to do 2 things: 1. Change from current domain to workgroup - effectively removing the current domain membership 2. Change the server's name Before powering up, I've downed all network interfaces so the cloned server does not interfere with the current server. The remove from domain and rename does not work. Through the GUI, Start->Computer->Properties - the "Change" button is greyed out I've also tried the command line: netdom remove <myname> /force but it does not work as it says winservices are not runnng. I cannot start winservices. I've also tried sysprep but this to fails. Checking sysprep logs shows that the last thing done was leave the domain. Has anyone had a similar problem? Do you know how to fix? Thanks for any help.
