Computer name does not auto update in VMM console

The computer name is not updating in VMM console after the following.
- Create VM from scratch, install VM additions, name "VM1"
- Shutdown VM
- Clone "VM1"
- Sysprep clone
- Rename clone to "VM2"
VMM does not recognize the new name even after a few VM reboots. I need to manually right click the VM and select refresh to get the new name to display.
Typically this wouldn't be a problem, but it causes an issue when trying to Remote Desktop from VMM console or from App Controller, the old name is still referenced and therefore tries to remote desktop into old name instead of the new name.
Anyone encounter this?

Welcome to the discussions! (post #1 and all)
<pre>hostname -s</pre>
This command is the best way to get the short name of the machine with the DNS suffix stripped away.
Do make sure you click edit in the sharing system preferences to make sure the Local Hostname is truly set and not using the dynamic global host name.
I recall having to change this a while back and am not sure what the default state is for the fields in the Edit... dialog.

  • Typedef array does not auto-update

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a strict typedef array that contains an ENUM control. I notice that if I add or delete items from the ENUM, then the control and control constants will update accordingly. However, if I increase the size of the array (insert or remove elements), and save the control as a strict typedef, the front panel control and its associated constant will not update to reflect the changes. Is there a way to do this? If the size of my strict typedeft control changes I would like to find a way to update the constants in my program to reflect this change.
    Thanks!

    So my issue's just the one of this topic. I find somehow odd that you don't get that value updated, or maybe there should be an option to make the typedef even more strict and having the values updated.
    Making a VI that spits out the constant value isn't a valuable option because: you don't immediately see the values, and the typedef is used is a cluster which is another typedef itself, so there's no way to get the values from a vi, if I  am not wrong. 
    Please attach a simplified version of your VIs, so we get a better idea what you are trying to do.

  • Mailboxes migrated to Exchange 2013 - some Outlook profiles do not auto-update

    ** EDIT WITH SIMPLIFIED QUESTION:
    Should I be able to manually create a profile in my Exchange 2013 environment without knowing the
    GUID@DOMAIN server name?  When I specify the Ex2010 server name and Outlook Anywhere settings, the server name does not auto-resolve to the GUID as other threads suggest.  I am curious whether others are able to manually
    create a profile without  knowing the GUID@domain.
    Hi all,
    Our computers have Outlook configured to automatically configure a profile without any intervention.  The profile is pointing to Exchange 2010, which is still running in our environment with Exchange 2013.  When a user logs into a computer and
    launches Outlook for the first time, Outlook fails to connect and a "Cannot open your default-email folders" error occurs.
    I have verified that the Outlook Anywhere settings are configured correctly. 
    If I delete the profile and create a new one using Autodiscover, everything works fine.
    Occurs on all clients - 2007, 2010, 2013, fully patched).
    To troubleshoot, I attempted to manually create a new profile.  I supplied the Exchange 2010 server name, and configured Outlook Anywhere.  When hitting "Check Name", the server name stays to Exchange 2010 (does not switch to
    [email protected]).  When I launch Outlook, the connection fails.  Again, an autodiscovery succeeds.
    From my reading, it appears that Outlook should be updating the profile with the new GUID server name when it attempts to connect.  The RPCClientAccessServer setting on the Exchange 2013 databases points to the Exchange 2010 CAS Array names. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your hel

    Thanks for the reply . 
    AutodiscoverInternalURI is pointing to the Exchange 2013 environment,  and is working fine when auto creating the profile.  The Test Autodiscover function returns the correct URL for the mailboxes.   The problem comes when manually creating
    a profile.  Other threads indicate that a manually created profile should auto change the server name when the Check Name option is selected,  but mine remains with the Ex2010 cas name listed on the database, and the creation fails. 
    However,  if the user had previously connected to Ex2010 prior to the mailbox move,  the profile successfully changes to Ex2013. Only during manual creation does it fail,  which is a problem because our existing PCs are configured to create
    profiles without autodiscover.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

    If you get a green light then you did not do a factory reset - you must disconnect all wires and follow the instructions above - you will end up with the Extreme blinking yellow - then use the Airport utility to set up the Extreme - you can put in your own names for the network, device etc. - when it comes to the passwords you can use ones of your own choice - it is not asking for the old one - if it is then it was not reset completely - try to reset again if necessary - it may take more than one try - if it still asks for a password then use "public" - it is the default - once you have set it up with your new information, and you have a green light, test the connection with your computer - if you can access the internet then you are all set - then try to a use the Apple TV with the new password - if the computer still asks for a password, then it is asking for the computer password and not the extreme or network password - I can't help you with that - you would have to ask that question on the iMac discussion group.

  • The name '' does not exist in the current context

    I have a recurring problem where all of a sudden I can no longer see the values of my variables when I debug my unit tests. I cannot find a pattern as to when this happens but I experience this across one of every 20 tests that I write. Occasionally this
    has also happened during normal debbuging of running code on my machine. 
    I have included 2 screen shots. The first is when it is working. I have a break point set at the declaration of list of types. At this point all my variables are still reporting their values back to the debugger. Once I step over this to the next line (screen
    shot 2) I get the error message 'The name '[variable name]' does not exist in the current context'
    This problem is annoying me to no end. If anyone has any insight as to why this might be happening I would be very much appreciative.
    My Settings/Configuration
    Using Visual Studio 2013 Premium (Version 12.0.31101.00 Update 4)
    Projects are all set to Target Framework = .NET 4.5.1
    Resharper 9.1 is installed
    My active configuration is debug mode, Any CPU
    My PC is 64bit and so is the O/S windows 8.1
    All of my projects are also compiled and built in debug mode
    For all my projects configuration debug has the Optimize Code check box unchecked
    I am unit testing code in an outside project referenced by the unit testing project (standard unit test project setup)
    I make use of the latest version of NSubstitute in my tests although I do not think that would have any bearing on this issue
    I omitted the code following the error because it is not relevant. I had cut it out and replaced it with a Task.Delay(4) which resulted in the same issue. 
    What I have tried so far
    I have tried debugging the unit test  from Visual Studio Test Explorer instead of from Resharper with the same result.
    If I remove 2 items at the end of the array it starts to work again (so 6 items initialized instead of 8)
    I clean solution with rebuild has no effect
    Removing properties of the array also seems to work, example remove all initialization of property Value

    Hi IWolbers,
    >>I have a recurring problem where all of a sudden I can no longer see the values of my variables when I debug my unit tests. I cannot find a pattern as to when this happens but I experience this across one of every 20 tests that I write. Occasionally
    this has also happened during normal debbuging of running code on my machine.
    So you mean that it worked well before, am I right? 
    If you debug the same app in other VS machine, does it work well? So we could make sure that whether it is related to the VS IDE.
    Please disable all add-ins in your VS IDE, and then reset your VS settings, debug it again.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075(v=vs.100).aspx
    Or you could run your VS in safe mode, debug it again, at least, we could know that whether it is the add-in's issue.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
    To make sure that it is not the project files' issue, create a new blank solution, copy the project files to the new solution, clean and rebuild the solution, check the result.
    >>Once I step over this to the next line (screen shot 2) I get the error message 'The name '[variable name]' does not exist in the current context'
    How about debugging it with "Step Into" instead of "Step Over"? Or you could add breakpoints between 234 line to 241 line, after the breakpoint is hit, check the watch window again. How about the result?
    In addition, do you check other debugger window like local or others?

  • DNS cache " Name Does not Exist"

    Hey Guys,
    So we've been experiencing a really weird issue related to the DNS for past couple of months. Here are the details:
    1) Our domain machines are Windows 7 Enterprise and their DNS points to Windows DNS Servers
    2) For companyxyz.net internal sites, the Windows DNS resolves those from its
    companyxyz.net zone.
    3) For public *.companyxyz.com records, the Windows DNS has conditional forwarders to point these requests to our Linux Bind Servers. And than the authoritative name servers respond to these queries accordingly
    4) Our internal employees use the public records such as testing.companyxyz.com 
    Problems:
    1) Employees on the internal network would randomly experience page not found on their browsers while trying to hit
    testing.companyxyz.com. When we try to ping this URL, ping would fail too. However, NSLOOKUP would work perfectly fine and return the correct results. ipconfig /flushdns fixes the issue right away
    2) During the time when this problem is occurring, if I look into the local cache ( ipconfig /displaydns), I find an entry saying:
        testing.companyxyz.com
        Name does not exist. 
    ipconfig /flushdns obviously clears out this record along with the other local cached records and fixes the issue.
    3) Point the local computers directly to the Linux Bind servers as DNS never create this issue. It's only when they are pointing to the Windows DNS and going to this public record. The problem also seems to occur a lot more frequently if there are considerably
    high number of hits to this URL.
    Have you guys experienced this issue before? I am looking for a fix for this issue and not having the end-users to flush their dns constantly. Also note this problem occurs sometimes once a day, or 2 -3 times a week. It's very random.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It seems that the issue is related to your Windows 7 client. Considering whether there is DNS attack or virus on this computer.
    Please try to do the safety scan first.
    Please monitor the DNS server performance referring these article:
    Monitoring DNS server performance
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778608(WS.10).aspx
    Monitoring and Troubleshooting DNS
    http://www.tech-faq.com/monitoring-and-troubleshooting-dns.html
    For further step, we need to capture the traffic by using Network monitor when the issue happened and we continuously ping
    testing.companyxyz.com.
    Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4865
    Let’s see whether there is DNS request happened and the DNS request is handled.
    You can post back the save traffic log here for our further research.

  • RDS Gateway + Smart Card Error [ The specified user name does not exist.]

    I have the following Windows Server 2008 R2 servers:
    addsdc.contoso.com, AD DS Domain Controller for contoso.com
    adcsca.contoso.com, AD CS Enterprise CA, CDPs/AIAs published externally.
    fileserver.contoso.com, RDS Session Host for Administration enabled
    rdsgateway.contoso.com, RDS Gateway enabled
    tmgserver.contoso.com, 'Publishing' rdsgateway.contoso.com but with pass-through authentication
    And the following Windows 7 PCs:
    internalclient.contoso.com
    externalclient.fabrikam.com
    There's no trust between the domains, the external client is completely separate on the internet but the CA certificate for contoso.com has been installed in the trusted Root CA store. All servers have certificates for secure RDP.
    I enrolled for a custom 'Smart Card Authentication' certificate with Client Authentication and Smart Card Logon EKUs from the CA, stored on my new Gemalto smart card using the Microsoft Base Smart Card CSP.
    From internalclient.contoso.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    using the smart card just fine with no certificate errors.
    From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    via rdsgateway.contoso.com using a username and password just fine with no certificate errors.
    From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    via rdsgateway.contoso.com using the smart card to authenticate to the gateway, and a username and password to authenticate to the end server, just fine.
    BUT from when using a smart card to authenticate to the end server via the gateway, it fails with:
         The specified user name does not exist. Verify the username and try logging in again. If the problem continues, contact your system administrator or technical support. 
    When I move the client into the internal network and try the connection again (still via the RDS Gateway), it works fine - the only thing I can think of is being outside the network and not being able to contact the AD DS DC for Kerberos is causing the issue
    - but I'm pretty sure this is a supported scenario?
    The smart card works fine internally, the subject of the certificate is the user's common name (John Smith) and the only SAN is
    [email protected] which matches the UPN of the user account as it was auto-enrolled.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had a similar issue where I am using a smart card through a Remote Desktop Gateway. I had to disable Network Level Authentication (NLA) on the destination Remote Desktop Server. If anyone has another way around this, I'd appreciate hearing it. I'd prefer
    to use NLA.

  • Error: The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist, when you try to export mailbox in Exchange 2007

    [Symptom]
    ======================
    In Exchange 2007, when you want to export mailbox to a .pst file, you should run the
    Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
    The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
    Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 or later versions
    If not, you may encounter the following error message:
    You check that you have these required installed, but you get the error below when you run Export-Mailbox in EMS.
    “The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist.”
    [Cause Analysis]
    =======================================
    This is because that the account you use to run Export-Mailbox cmdlet don’t have the Exchange Server Administrator role assigned.
    You can check if this account has been delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role through the following path.
    EMC -> Organization Configuration-> Check permissions in the result pane.
    To delegate this Exchange Server Administrator role, right click on the
    Organization Configuration node and choose Add Exchange Administrator,
    you will see the Add Exchange Administrator window.

    Hi,
    Based on my test, if you make the user the owner of the database (rather than a user with the db_owner role), when you create a query, it creates it under the dbo schema rather than DOMAIN\username.
    Steps to do so (in Management Studio):
    Right click database, select Properties 
    Click File 
    Change Owner in the textbox 
    OK to confirm 
    Downside - other users under db_owner role will still have their username appended. So schemas have to be created for these users.

  • Object class name does not exist in IDM

    Hi Team
    We are process of Integrating GRC 10.1 to Enterprise Portal.Followed accordingly as per the SAP Note No. 1977781.
    While running the Schema Job, we get a message Schema Imported Suxcessfully. While running the Job : GRAC_REPOSITORY_SYNC_JOB, the job
    shows successful, but a Warning Message : User Adaptor Empty in SLG1 T.code.
    I have checked the Path suffix,connectors,data source and all are maintained but no sure about this warning message.
    Secondly,I tried for test creation of user on Portal via GRC 10.1.I am getting below error
    "Object class name does not exist in IDM" Please see log below
    Request gets closed stating Auto Provisioning failed.Please advice if someone has faced same issue and the steps taken to rectify it.
    Thanks
    Nitesh

    Hi Nitesh,
    We worked on this issue for quiet sometime with SAP to get this finally fixed You can check all below mentioned notes.
    First Check:
    Please check the Note: 1915763 - Error Provisioning from GRC 10 to SAP Portal while adding or removing a role in Change Account request type.
    This Note says that if your LDAP set as data source is read-only in Portal, then you need to change it to Modifiable in order to allow create or change user belonging to LDAP.
    We have set the UME correctly and no longer read-only. But our access requests still used to fail with the following messages.
    "Object class name does not exist in IDM".
    Second Check:
    Kindly ensure the field mapping for portal is done in IMG settings properly.
    If it is fine please check below note 2033714 - AC10.0: error in SGL1 "Object class name does not exist in IDM".
    This note is only to check if you have made any mistake with your portal mapping and doesn't address the correct issue.
    Third Check:
    Finally after implementing SAP note 1941250 - UAM: Truncated parameters provisioned on changing users from Access Request
    our issue got fixed.
    Regards,
    Madhu.

  • New iMac (10.9.4) & now my HP Photosmart 6520 "scan to computer" function does not work

    Recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.9.4.  Printing works well from this computer and all other devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).  However, the "scan to computer" function does not work.  In the "Scan" section of HP Utility when I click on "Scan to Computer" the error message reads "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled. The software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
    Of course I have done this... twice... still no luck.  Also ran Software Update and there was an update, but it made no difference.

    Yes, did all that... in order.  It did not resolve the problem.  However, I did find what appears to be the answer.  After re-installing the driver software DO NOT immediately follow the prescribed steps.  Instead, quit the installer, restart the Mac, and an Apple software update will appear after restart.  Install that software update, and even though the computer and software do not call for it, restart the Mac again.  Only then add the printer and follow the balance of the steps.  It works!   Thank you for your help.

  • Contact name does not appear after upgrading to iOS 5

    I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and after doing so, contact name does not appear when someone calls; but text messages the name appears. I have saved all my contacts under +9 format. 

    This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
    If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

  • My user name does not show in finder

    I recently had to do a re-install of OS X Yosemite on my brand new Macbook Pro due to some files being corrupt during the transfer of my aperture and iTunes librarys from my old iMac to the new Macbook. (Aperture appears to be the problem)
    After the re-install everything appeared as a new computer. After signing in to my accounts, I went to "Finder" to open my username and music file to transfer my iTunes library over.  My user name does not appear at all in the Finder sidebar. Have doing something wrong here.

    You can customize your Finder sidebar to show whatever you want. Some of the defaults (including the home folder you're talking about) are available by going to Finder menu - Preferences - Sidebar. You can add others by dragging them from the right side of the Finder window into the sidebar.
