Context:
I am in the process of setting up vRA / vRO in a lab. In the vRealize Automation GUI, when I try and test connectivity to the vCenter endpoint, I run into the below message:
'Unsuccessful
Unable to connect to endpoint. Timeout occurred while processing the request.'
Question:
Which logs should I be looking at either on the vRealize Automation side and vCenter side to determine why the connection could not be made.
Hello,
I have an application that needs settings to persist between VDI sessions. The problem is that the application writes these settings to ProgramData instead of somewhere in the user profile. I'm having trouble crafting a method in UEM to do this.
I've enabled DirectFlex for the application config file, configured the Post-Import and Pre-Export tasks, and tried that to no avail. I've also tried UEM defined Log On/Log Off tasks where the batch script being run copies the data from ProgramData to %appdata% on log off, capturing that location with UEM, and then copying it back on Log On. That also does not work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for capturing files that live outside of the user profile?
Is there anyway to list users, create users and reset password for a user accounts in ESXi server. I can possibly use SSH, but I am looking for any vRO vCenter object that can run commands on the ESXi host. I think even esxcli still needs SSH to be enabled to connect to.
Hey all,
I am using Windows 10 1709 with View 7.3.1 and UEM 9.6
I tweak the parent image to my liking including a custom start menu and tile layout. This includes Edge and Chrome in a Browsers group in the start menu. When I log on as a standard user I get the layout but Edge is missing. The space is there for it but no icon. When I hit the start menu and search for Edge it isn't there. I know it is part of the parent but it has vanished.
I ran this in powershell on the parent and here is the output
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*Edge*"}

Hi all,
Anyone who knows how i can disable the X.509 Certificate Authentication in UAG 3.0.
If i click on the "settings" icon and then choose to disable the feature and then click on Save, UAG just tells me "Please enable the authentication method"
And if i click "Cancel" the X.509 Certificate Status still shows "Enabled".
Thanks in advance
/Björn

TAM SDDC Delivery – Abstraction, Virtualization and Automation Oh My!
In the journey to building your Software Defined Datacenter, whether public or private, you are embarking on another virtualization journey. Along the way, you will eventually be a part of many discussions on Virtualization of Compute/Network/Storage. This process will include understanding abstraction of many of the underlying SDDC infrastructure. The processes you need to review and change all become a part of the larger picture – Automation! In this webcast, we will discuss areas to start reviewing if you are not already, what you can accomplish with Virtualization of the SDDC layers, and where to start with Automating it all!

Hi everyone, well conference season continues and this past week the AWS re:Invent conference was held in Las Vegas. VMware was very prominent at the event and was also a major sponsor. We had many sessions as well as showcasing our VMware Cloud on AWS solutions at the Expo, and our CEO Pat Gelsinger on stage with AWS CEO Andy Jassy. There have been many milestones and updates to the VMware Cloud on AWS over the past year or so that have been released on a 90 day cycle which you can follow here, and these were also showcased at the event. If you were able to attend I hope you managed to catch up with some of the VMware folk there.
AWS reinvent Las Vegas:
VMware and AWS CEOs made a HUGE announcement together on stage about the new VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts, and VMware Cloud Foundation for EC2: https://cloud.vmware.com/vmc-aws-outposts as well as the re:Invent Keynote with Andy Jassy and Pat Gelsinger here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOIkOnW640A (2:28 – VMware Pat Gelsinger!)

Hi,
I am trying to find an identifier if an ESX host is running on local or remote disk, ie boot from SAN through powercli, but I can't find if there is a field for this. Does anyone know if this is something that can be reported on through this or if it is only identiable through the boot sequence?
Thanks
Gareth
I am also having the same problem logging on today, can my account be added too. Thanks
Hi VMware forums,
I have a VDI where each machine I have set to use 16GB of RAM but each VM in the VDI is using the full 16GB assigned. I have another pool based on the same golden image that is not using all the RAM for each VM like you would normally see. The main difference between the two is that the VDI using the whole reservation are using GRID cards. Could that be why? Is there a way to change that behavior?
vSphere 6.5
Horizon View 7.5
Windows 10 LTSB
Thanks,
Wallace
Hi,
I have a stretched cluster of 2 ESXi 6.5u2 (SERVER1 and SERVER2) + 1 Witness (WITNESS1).
When I check the vSAN health screen everything is OK except one which is in Warning : "All hosts contributing stats". The warning says that the host SERVER2 is not contributing to stats.
I followed this tutorial to determine which server was the stats master : vSAN hosts not contributing stats reports - vSAN Health check fails - vhabit
My stats Master is SERVER1
If I check the vsanmgmt.log file, I have this warning :
2019-01-09T14:21:49Z VSANMGMTSVC: WARNING vsanperfsvc[Collector-1] [statscollector::RetrieveRemoteStats] Error happened during RetrieveRemoteStats of host IP_of_SERVER2, type: <class 'socket.timeout'>, message: timed out
2019-01-09T14:21:50Z VSANMGMTSVC: WARNING vsanperfsvc[Collector-1] [statscollector::RetrieveRemoteStats] Error happened during RetrieveRemoteStats of host IP_of_WITNESS1, type: <class 'socket.timeout'>, message: timed out
Communications between servers work well. I checked it with vmkping. The rest of the vSAN works perfectly.
Any idea ?
Buen día, alguien sabe cual es la ruta o extensión de los archivos de respaldo que genera el VMware Data Protection entrando desde el CLI.
We have a legal application called Relativity that consists of an application and database tier. If the database server is vmotion by DRS the application tier loses connectivity right away and does not recover. Has anyone found a way to address this without hair pinning the database server to a specific host? Thanks.
Does anyone know if Cisco ACI can be monitored in vROPS?
