Hi,
I use VMware Workstation on a Debian host with a Windows 7 guest.
These system were configured to lock after 5 minutes of inactivity. But obviously, the Debian machine still unlock when VMware is played in full screen mode.
Is there a function to force the user to type a password, if he want to keep out of the guest OS ?
Thank you in advance !
Note: Sorry for my bad english... I'm french
They should be under $esx.Summary.CustomValue
Actually with the 4 client that should be possible now. At least for desktops.
Hello,
This seems like a simple request but I cannot find the right syntax for it. I am trying to create a workflow that will enable/disable the VM option to automatically check VMtools on next reboot.
I can check to see what it currently is but cannot figure out how to change it.
var currentopt = vm.config.tools.toolsUpgradePolicy;
System.log ("currentopt = " + currentopt);
Any assistance will be helpful.
Thanks

Thanks!
I had this issue. Check that the prefix of the datastore is ok, it's case sensitive.
Hello,
I'm trying to enable HW acceleration for the view linux client and blast protocol on a intel GPU. Anyone has this working?
Hello,
Purely a newbie question for someone who is not a developer/programmer.
How do I follow the API to get the syntax of a command?
E.g. var allPools = cluster.resourcePool.resourcePool_ResourcePool
How would I compile this syntax string by following the API? Is there any type of beginner guide to how to use the API? Trying to find the proper syntax is my main issue.
Thanks
B
What language do you use to automate stuff in your environment?

Hopefully one of these help you down your path.
Anybody...? who can help here?
Do you have a host profile that is disabling it? do the logs tell you a reason for the disabling?
Are you connecting via hostname or IP?
I wonder if DNS is giving you problems?
Boa noite pessoal,
Sou novo na área de virtualização e estou tentando fazer teste em meu laboratório para iniciar o aprendizado, me deparei com a falta de compatibilidade entre o ESXi e meu hardware (MSI H77MA) que é uma NIC REALTEK onboard.
Fiz algumas pesquisas na internet e achei alguns tutos gringos falando de uma modificação na instalação do ESXi (.ISO) mas infelizmente não consegui fazer proceder com nenhum artigo, alguém sabe ou tem alguma informação a respeito que poderia me ajudar?
Agradecido

Below is a screenshot of the error. It's not an error from the guest OS, but an actual vmware error.
I'm always connecting by IP ( i have and A record for esxi.domain.com pointing to that domain, but not using it)
I am using View 6.1 with Composer and VCenter 6.0 ( VDI Dedicated VCenter)
As we plan upgrades, I am looking at redundancy. Id like to have a redundant View VCenter set up. In case our Vcenter or composer go down, a way to switch to a waiting back up scenario. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?
Thx, Gordon
First off try isolating the problem by using another VM and see if it can reach the gateway. Can the network team make the gateway pingable (and routeable) from another network while troubleshooting?
Try troubleshooting this using a top down method.
First make sure the VM has the network card connected (marked connected) in its settings page.
Then make sure the OS is NOT configured for VLAN tagging.
Check the Portgroup the vmnic is configured for. Does it have the correct VLAN?
The ports of the physical switches, are they configured as a vLAG or an mLAG (do they share MAC address information). Do they have the correct VLAN trunking configured for the port it self. Is the MTU size consistent? How is the network configured? Does it use STP? Is the physical port on the switch configured for RSTP or as a end device (terminology differs).
Hope this helps.
I'm having similar issue. But this solution doesn't seem to fix it. What should your MANIFEST.MF should look like?
Thanks KeithBachmanTP, your solution worked for me too on Windows 10.
As for the host profile, pretty sure not as we use the hp customized iso and its not happening on other servers we have put into production
As for the logs, not sure which ones to look at to see what the cause would be
