Trying to create a valid use case for our customers. I have a bunch of stuff from the sales teams but looking for real world stuff.
Who can give me good reasons to spend the money on VMware instead of using Hyper-V?
Re: vRO 7.4 - executing curl using the Command class - how to format the command?
Create a one-liner bash script that does the curl command and takes command line input parameters just for the variable parts.
Thanks, that did the trick. I have saved the curl command as an sh script an execute it during workflow runtime with the needed parameters.
Ideally I would do that stuff using only the REST plugin, but I cannot get it to work with input parameters other then string:(
edit:
Here's the relevant part of the workflow, it still needs some error checking but it works:
inputs: fileName, packageID, token // create temp file with the package content and sh script with curl command var tempDir = System.getTempDirectory(); // filepath for pkg file var pkgFileName = "/vRApkg-" + fileName; // filename for the package, used in script var pkgFilePath = tempDir + pkgFileName; // filepath for sh script var shFileName = "/vRApkg-" + fileName + "-tmp.sh"; // filename of the sh script file var shFilePath = tempDir + shFileName; // create wrapper sh script for curl command, since string encoding makes executing curl via Command class impossible var shFileContent = 'curl --insecure -s -H "Accept: application/zip" -H "Authorization: Bearer $1" https://FQDN/content-management-service/api/packages/$2 -o $3'; //$1 = token, $2 = packageID, $3 = pkgFilePath System.log("LOG: shell script content: " + shFileContent); var fileWriter = new FileWriter(shFilePath); fileWriter.open(); fileWriter.writeLine(shFileContent); fileWriter.close(); // execute wrapper sh script System.log("LOG: execute shell script in path: " + shFilePath); var command1 = new Command("chmod 755 " + shFilePath); // make file executable command1.execute(true); // execute and wait = true if (command1.output.length != 0) { System.log("LOG: command1 output: " + command1.output) }; var command2Content = shFilePath + " " + token + " " + packageID + " " + pkgFilePath; // System.log("LOG: command2Content: " + command2Content); // for debugging only!! var command2 = new Command(command2Content); // execute sh script command2.execute(true); // execute and wait = true if (command2.output.length != 0) { System.log("LOG: command2 output: " + command2.output) }; System.log("LOG: script execution complete"); // delete temporary sh file after script execution var myFile = new File(shFilePath); myFile.deleteFile();

Re: Cannot add NSX Manager to Skyline 1.3
Hello,
Does it have to be local user on nsx? The credentials I am using is AD vCenter user with Auditor role on NSX.
Re: vCenter shows ds capacity incorrectly
As mentioned in my previous comment, login to the host directly using the host client or the vSphere client depending on what version of ESXi you are running --> Try datastore refresh multiple times and check if the value fluctuates.
Cheers,
Supreet
Re: Disable HA when upgrading vCenter (VSA)/ESXi hosts
Thanks. I didn't disable HA when I was performing in the test environment but did read conflicting stuff.
Also for EVC, do you enable after the vCenter has been upgraded or before the upgrade.
Thanks,
TT
Re: get vcac:vm from vc:vm
Thanks for this, I was thinking along the same lines today. I actually put a breakpoint in WF before the conversation script but it didn't help. I'll test this action next and let you know.
Thanks and regards

Re: Can a PowerCLI script display a prompt on a Guest OS?
Correct. They are all running Windows 10 x64. And yes only show to users who are logged in, if they're not logged in (RDP only) then it reboots.
Re: Show first sign-in animation GPO setting
Hi bvi1006,
It is the computer policy in the UEM admx template. It's under Computer Policy/admin template/system/logon.
That's not coming from the UEM ADMX templates; that's just standard Windows Group Policy.
Maybe you configured a Group Policy Object that contains both UEM policy settings and Windows policy settings?
I guess I am in the wrong forum then, especially if you say that UEM can't help me
I guess so . I'm afraid you will have to update your base image, or find a way to run something when your VMs boot but before users log on (if you have something that can set values in HKLM, you can have it create a REG_DWORD EnableFirstLogonAnimation in key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, and setting it to 0.)
Persona - Roaming Profiles
Hi,
maybe one of you have an Idea:
Some Informations about the Infrastructure:
vSphere 6.5
Horizon View 7.5
Horizon Agent 7.5.1
VMware Tools: 10.3.0
Problem is the roaming of the profiles doestn work. I can put files on the desktop and after log out / login (after logoff, refresh of the desktop) everything is gone.
I added an export of the Persona GPO. Maybe you see something whats wrong.
I added also the VMWVvp and VMWVvp_status.
I found already this discussion here: Windows 10, Persona Folder Redirection - Unavailable
Thank you for any Idea / tip / trick.
Best regards
Sven-Jendrik

Very Slow Start Menu and Search Box Initial Opening in Windows 10 VMs
Hello,
I am having an issue where when the user logs in and each time they log in the start menu and search box take forever before they can be opened. When you click on each one there's about a 20 second delay before it opens. It's fine after that for the session. I tried this KB to roam the settings so hopefully it would be once, but it didn't work. Any ideas on best practice of having the start menu/search box ready at login?
Thanks,
William V
Re: Horizon 7.5 - How to get 2 vdi session on the same box.
You can't, for this you need to setup a windows server and setup a windows rdsh desktop pool, to allow multiple connections to the same machine
Re: Show first sign-in animation GPO setting
Thanks we were going to go down that path but we are trying to manage everything from one place. Guess we will have to go down that road.
Thanks UEMdev
Re: Show first sign-in animation GPO setting
oh, wait, can't we set the registry setting in UEM?
Virtual Machines name pane not remembering window sizing
I have multiple virtual machines labeled in a way that I need to be able to see the last word in the name to be able to easily identify exactly which purpose it's for, and I can't rename them because we want to keep our VM names in sync across computers (not my decision).
When I open VMWare Fusion, it shifts the panel size on the left back to some default and chops off the last word, replacing it with ellipsis (...), meaning I have to drag the right-side line in that panel over again to see the last word.
I'm not seeing a setting to have this remember my sizing... what am I missing here? Is the Fusion window (not fullscreen, which I don't want) left-panel sized based on the size of the window, or what, or not at all?
Re: When running the benchmark following error occurs .. Restore results unable to ping DS3-DB
Hi, could you please perform the following steps so we can troubleshoot further?
1. From your primeclient VM, attach the VMmark3.properties you used to run the benchmark (/root/VMmark3/VMmark3.properties)
2. From your primeclient VM, ZIP and attach the configfiles subdirectory from your most recent run:
cd /root/VMmark3/results/Results_2018* (note: make sure you choose the most recent failed run directory)
zip -r /root/configfiles.zip configfiles
Then attach the resulting /root/configfiles.zip
3. From your DS3DB0 VM, attach the output of these commands:
cd /root/VMmark3/client/DS3DB
./DS3_checker.sh
Thanks,
David
