This doesn't explain why my other four servers, which are set up the exact - or supposed to be the exact - same way, are doing just fine. And again, looking at the disk space within the VM via the OS (Windows), the disks are not full. So why is the snapshot getting huge if there's barely anything within the VM?

How to prompt for vmhost name?
I would like to re-purpose the script below (borrowed from Find ESXi installation date » VCDX56) and use it as a function and prompt me for a host name when I invoke it. Currently the script will run against all VMs in all connected vCenters. I would like for it to prompt me to run against a specific host. How can I accomplish this?
Function Get-InstallDate {
Get-VMHost | Sort Name | %{
$thisUUID = (Get-EsxCli -VMHost $_.name).system.uuid.get()
$decDate = [Convert]::ToInt32($thisUUID.Split("-")[0], 16)
$installDate = [timezone]::CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(([datetime]'1/1/1970').AddSeconds($decDate))
[pscustomobject][ordered]@{
Name="$($_.name)"
InstallDate=$installDate
} # end custom object
} # end host loop
}
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Unable to 'connect' to VDP after successful appliance deployment
Thanks for the reply - I have the VC and VDP both running on the same host for the time being. The guests time sync to the host through vmtools and the host timesyncs to our PDCe and they are all reporting the same time within a second or so.
I have rebooted host and VDP but can't do the VC as it is quite widely used - but so far it doesn't look as if time is the problem.

Re: GRID K1 Deployment - VDI Desktops using SVGA (incorrect) display adapter on LOGIN, NVIDIA (correct) display adapter on re-connect. Windows 7 x64 Pro
Now that this issue is to be passed to VMware engineering, I have decided to press ahead with our desktop migration to new compute without NVIDIA GRID, thus rendering this forum post otiose.
We will continue the support case and we may 'phase in' some Grid-enabled desktops as & when new members of staff join or there is a natural demand for the creation of new desktops, but as we cannot make it work with the existing desktops at this time, we accept defeat for our current deployment. If we ever find a solution, I'll post it here.
Thank you Sam @ VMware Support for giving this a go. Appreciate your time. An honourable mention for Rachel @ the NVidia forums who tried to be helpful.
I would like to thank the Community - but no one helped, so I won't.
I have had to bite my tongue and restrain myself from expressing my personal opinion as to how this experience reflects on the K1 GRID solution in its current incarnation.

Re: How to prompt for vmhost name?
I am unclear if you want to specify this for "host" or "vm"
So I will leave a generic line here for you:
$userinput = Read-Host -Prompt 'Input your server name' write-host "The user input was '$userinput'"
This will prompt you to type something in, then echo it back out. Instead of the echo, you can use that variable in your script.

Re: Any examples of subscription conditions that use properties
I ran into the same issue, it seems like it's still buggy there and I considered the same as you below (evaluate the properties within the workflow from the payload). Now I know I'd have to go the extra mile and just have the workflows trigger for every VM, instead of e.g. only Windows or only Linux VMs.
Quite ridiculous, considering that this is what the conditions basically have been designed for.

Thinapp Firefox ESR Issue - The address isn't valid error
Hello Guys,
I have recently struggling with Firefox ESR thinapp, actually it already happened in previous version 38.8.0 ESR, but I was able to fix that issue by this guide :
1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste pref and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.preferences.inContent preference to switch it from true to false
But since FF is changing the policy as stated in this from them :
Firefox 38 switched from a pop-up Options dialog to an "in tab" options page. Some users are finding that it doesn't work for them, but so far we haven't identified the reason - and this - Note: I don't know whether that will be in Firefox forever or is a transitional feature. As you've probably noticed, the long-term trend is to remove things that pop up.
It looks it already came and I am not able to fix that (should be since version 42) for the last 45.2.0 ESR version in thinapp. When I install the FF, all works, but when I get the packaged FF by thinapp, then it does not work. All like about:home, about:preferences, about:newtab etc. command does not work, even some https links.
I have tried to thinapp it by also older version, but no success. Currently we use last 5.2.1 .
Would you know what can be wrong there with FF? Anyone of you have the same?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Pakcage.ini attached

Re: How to prompt for vmhost name?
Add Powershell parameters in the function like this:
Function Get-InstallDate { Param( [string][parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $VMHost ) $thisUUID = (Get-VMHost $VMHost | Get-EsxCli).system.uuid.get() $decDate = [Convert]::ToInt32($thisUUID.Split("-")[0], 16) $installDate = [timezone]::CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(([datetime]'1/1/1970').AddSeconds($decDate)) [pscustomobject][ordered]@{ Name="$((Get-VMHost $VMHost).Name)" InstallDate=$installDate }
}
Just running Get-InstallDate will prompt you for the hostname, or you can supply the parameter directly in the command with Get-InstallDate -VMHost myesxi.local.

Virtual Machine networking
All, I am hoping you can assist me as I have a very strange problem. I am running two Windows 7 Virtual computers on a Dell e6540. The one VM is 64 bit the other is a 32 bit OS. They both have 120 GB hard drives with 4 processors. The 64 bit OS has 8 GB of memory the 32 bit OS has 4 GB of memory. Both have a bridged and NAT connection. Now due to the nature of what these VMs will be asked to do, I have a Netgear Wireless adapter AC1200 and a StarTech Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to the physical machine but communicating to the VMs via USB. The wireless card is connected to the company wireless while the StarTECH USB gigabit adapter is used to connect to welders and other PLCs on the factory floor so the IP address of this unit will get changed. So what happens is we will change the IP address for the StarTECH usb adapter and connect to the desired device that works fine no issues there, but when you completely disconnect you can still ping that device! Only after disconnecting the Net GEAR wireless adapter are you unable to ping that device (which is set DHCP) Any ideas?

Thank you for your hint.
There was a problem with the firewall configuration.

Unable to open file "...vmdk". The disks is already in use
Hi.
The problem occurred when attempting to start a machine that was supendida. I do not know the causes, but the message is as follows:
Unable to open file "D:\VMWare VM\W7X64LAB\Windows 7 x64-000001.vmdk":
One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot.
The actions taken were as follows:
1. Turn off the virtual machine.
2. Try recupuerar one shapshot
3. check that the file is on the disk.
Can anyone give me some idea to recover the machine?
Thank you

Re: cannot find vmk device
i could solve it!!!!!
the only problem i still had was that the promiscuous mode on the vmnet devices could not be set because i was running the workstation as user not as root.
so what i did was ..
root@bwell:~# ls -al /dev/vmnet*
crw------- 1 root root 119, 0 Jul 27 04:21 /dev/vmnet0
crw------- 1 root root 119, 2 Jul 27 04:21 /dev/vmnet2
crw------- 1 root root 119, 3 Jul 27 04:21 /dev/vmnet3
crw------- 1 root root 119, 4 Jul 27 04:21 /dev/vmnet4
crw------- 1 root root 119, 5 Jul 29 07:21 /dev/vmnet5
root@bwell:~# chgrp baum /dev/vmnet*
root@bwell:~# chmod g+rw /dev/vmnet*
and now all the custom tcpip stacks can communicate with the vlan world.
so not only setting promiscuous mode on the esxi server is important.
