Excel PowerPivot and Slicer with virtual machine?

If you install virtual machine with Windows 7, can you install the full version of Excel and utilize PowerPivot and Slicer tools?

Ok, I've gone back to checking the "user browser default" settings for the proxy address and port, and it now brings up the NTLM authentication windows asking for my credentials. When I put these in, the applets load perfectly in the browser.
At this point I'd have to assume it is an authentication issue with Java VM 1.4.2 not being able to supply ISA's web proxy with the user's credentials?
I am going to try adding basic authentication to the proxy server as a fallback to the integrated authentication and see if this helps, I'll keep you posted....

Lion 10.7.4 issues with Virtual Machines

Hi,
I'm having lot of issues with virtual machines (both Parallels and VMWare)
since having update to lion 10.7.4.
I make myself:
If I switch on Mac OS a run any vitrual machine software
I can run Windows XP and Ubuntu at same time with no issue and very fluently.
But, if I switch on Mac OS and start using Eclipse, Safari 5.2 and other production stuff and
want to use vmware or paralles
they become unusable even if I quit all the tasks ans "purge" memory.
(eg: if i click start button on windows I have to wait seconds before the start menu pops up)
Any Idea?
I have MacBook Pro 13 Unibody mid 2009 with SSD Drive AND 4GB of RAM
and I had no such issues with Lion 10.7.3

No, it wouldn't. 2.5 GB of free RAM could consist of 5 chunks of 500 MB of contiguous RAM, separated by RAM allocated by other processes.
Here is a hypothetical memory map. Assume a is application memory, o is operating system memory, and - is free memory.
boot:           oooo--------------
run app1:    ooooaao-----------
run app2:    ooooaaoaaaaaaoo---quit app1:   oooo---aaaaaaoo---
Maybe there is some issue in the way 10.7.4, in some perticolar situations, handle the process of freeing RAM.
What you can't accept, and I don't know why, is that before the update to 10.7.4 everithing was fine.
I don't know why you don't beleve me.
There is nothing in the 10.7.4 update description that mentions a re-write of the virtual memory system. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167
I just worte here to see if someone could give any advice to do further invesigations.
I know the price of upgrading RAM but I think that this would be a "microsoft like" solution
and I'm trying to find what service or task or whatever is creating this issue.
The only thing "Microsoft like" about buying more RAM is the fact that you need it to run your Microsoft operating systems. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I upgraded my MacBook to 4 GB RAM in 2008 just so I could run Windows more easily.
Perhaps you have your virtual memory settings too high. Depending on what you are doing in the VM, you may not need the default settings. XP will run low-intensity tasks with a 500 MB VM size. It will run just about anything in 1 GB. Linux should run fine in the same range too.

Powerbuilder with Virtual Machine / Build Machine environment

We are in the process of upgrading our from Powerbuilder 10.5 to Powerbuilder 12.5, and upgrading our virtual machines from Windows 2003 to Windows Server 2008.
We work in a virtual machine environment, connecting through Citrix -- multiple virtual developer desktops are set up, and we have one machine that serves as a formal "build" machine. The build machine uses Powergen to do a formal Powerbuilder build from within a controlled environment.
We have purchased one Powerbuilder 12.6 license per developer. But I can't figure out how to set up the licensing to let everyone work under the new platform. The other pieces seem to work fine (including version control licenses that use a license server and Powergen); not sure why Powerbuilder setup seems so complicated.
We have set up a served license model, per instructions. The server seems to serve up licenses fine, but they never seem to be released. It seems that one license is taken up for each developer, for each virtual machine. If there's no way to release it when you're done on a particular VM, we go through the licenses pretty quickly.
Under this scenario, even if a developer ONLY needs to connect into one VM for development, and needs to be able to do a formal build on a different non-developer machine, it seems that I'd have to purchase two licenses (when you multiply this by the # of developers involved, the cost adds up pretty quickly)? That can't be right, is it?
For our Source control licenses (which, I believe also use Sysam or something similar), it is also based on the # of developers. When a developer moves from one machine to another (closes the connection to source control), the license is "released", so that the same user can grab it from a different machine. We can set up the amount of time after which the license can be released. It's still based on a named user (registered in the server), and is not a floating point license; it just gives the developers some flexibility so that they can get their work done.
How can I set up Powerbuilder 12.6 and/or Sysam to be able to do something similar without having to buy one license per (developer, VM) combination?
Thanks in advance

Thank you to everyone that responded.
Based on the responses above, I just wanted to follow up with my own thoughts and my plan of action.
First, my current plan of action...
1) Each developer in our shop will run PB off of a single machine only (either virtual or desktop).
2) Following Paul Horan's suggestion,
> What we did at my company was setup a dedicated physical build machine - not
> a VM, but a physical box using a local unserved license.
we will allocate a single license for a physical box so that each developer, when they need to do a formal build, will walk over to that machine in order to do it.
Second, my thoughts...
This is still one more license than what I thought I would/should need, and it's really unfortunate that we even have to resort to this, but the alternative is worse -- I can't justify virtualizing our build machine if it means purchasing twice as many Powerbuilder licenses (one for each developer that may need to do a build).
The licensing constraints are impacting the way we do our work, which is not a good thing. As a long time Powerbuilder developer and manager (since PB 4.0), I find this trend very discouraging. I understand the concern about unlicensed / pirated products, but I believe there are better ways to handle this (without annoying and driving away existing customers).
Those who know Powerbuilder know of the strengths of the tool/platform. But I agree with other feedback on this thread that if a company makes it increasingly hard for existing customers to get their work done using their tool, the customers will look for alternate tools from other vendors that don't cripple the development infrastructure as much.
Thanks again to everyone for providing very valuable feedback and advice! This was very helpful!

Is there any report in SCCM 2012 to list out all the physcial machine and all the virtual machine?

Is there any report in SCCM 2012 to list out all the physcial machine and all the
virtual machine?
and list all VMs for each physical server.

Hi,
there is no such builtin report but you can easily crete one as all information is in the database.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit between both.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.

Browsing for a file and selecting a Virtual Machine on hyper-v

Hi everyone, sorry if the title is a bit problematic.
New to Powershell here, I'm trying to create a script that will let me Browse for a .vhd file, and then let me select a Virtual Machine to attach it to using SCSI attachment.
So far I managed to attach and detach the VHD files using add-vmharddiskdrive, but using read-host I have to manually enter the address of the .vhd file every time, as well as using read-host to input the VM name.
Is there any way to browse for the file, select it, and then run the add-vmharddiskdrive command?
So far the script I have is this:
$VHDLocation = Read-Host Enter VHD Location
$VMName = Read-Host Enter VM Name
Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName $VMName -Path $VHDLocation -ControllerType SCSI
Basically I want to shorten the time it takes to manually type the vhd location and the VM name. Any way to do that?
Sorry for long post, thanks everyone in advance, have a nice day :)

I couldn't get the Select-fromgridview to work sadly, but after snooping around on several different forums I managed to copy-paste some codes and after some work and trial and error I got the script to work perfectly, except for one problem. When the box
pops up to let met select a VM, it pops in the background, as in, behind the ISE itself. So I have to alt tab to see it. Is there any way to make it pop to the front?
I'd go through the script myself but like I said I'm very new to this and honestly most of this could be Chinese for all I know.
Again thanks in advance!

Saving files and future Java Virtual Machine updates questions

So I've made A program that keeps a list of Ingredients and Recipes for my dads small business. This program is currently on 3 computers my dads, the secretaries, and mine. I made it so it saved and loaded from a shared folder in the network where all the computers has access. The secretary and my dads computer saved and loaded the program fine with changes from one to the other, but mine wouldn't. If I save what information I put on my computer the other computers could no longer load the save file. If i saved something on the secretary or dads computer then my computer would not be able to load the file.
well i solved this problem by re downloading Java virtual machine on my computer.
this brings me to my question:
Will future virtual machine updates make it so the program can't read old .dat files (I've been using ObjectInputStreams and ObjectOutputStreams to save and load)
Sorry for the long story before the question I just wanted to state how I came to the question.

Yes, absolutely. That is one of the problems with using serialization to save data. Fortunately the serialization tutorial mentions it and explains some strategies for minimizing the problem. So have a look at that tutorial.

Can the boot camp partition be resized once windows is installed and running as virtual machine using vm fusion ware?

I have macbook air partitioned 505/50 and running OSX and win 7 side by side as virtual machines using vm fusion. Can the partition size be changed without starting over?

Very helpful. I started with vm ware to create a pseudo drive but could not import win 7 over home network. mac has no immediate way to connect to network without adapter, and has no cdrom. So i used boot camp to create partition, then made a bootable win7 iso file on a memory stick using win 7 usb/cdrom download tool from microsoft, and rEFIT to get mac to boot from the mem stick into the dos partition. Then i ran vm fusion to import the win 7 partition as a virtual machine. OSx and win 7 run side by side.
Seems from what you say that sizing cannot be accomplished without deleting partition and starting over. If I start over and just run vm fusion to create he win7 virtual machine, not sure how I would bet the minimum win 7 os into the ac. Perhaps vm will boot from the mem stick using refit. Do you know?

Daqpad 6507 with virtual machine

I am trying to use the NI DAQPAD 6507 in a Windows XP Professional virtual machine (32 bit). The host OS is Windows 7 64 bit. I can see the DAQPAD but it just doesn't seem to want to talk...at least not properly. Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello Skeptical,
I've made some research about this and I've happens that DAQ devices are not supported in virtualized OSes like Windows XP Mode. This is because the way USB communication is handled on virtualized OSes is typically only optimized for Human Interface Devices or Mass Storage devices and not devices that require much higher performance, such as USB DAQ devices.
Here some references:

Read CDs with Virtual Machine with Parallels

I use a programm that runs with Windows and uses CD. Although I could, now -probably since I updated to Montain Lion- I can't open it from Windows, and I've followed every single step in Parallels' Help. The CD is shown in Finder but not in Windows' My PC. It seems as something in Mac (I'm absolutely new with Mac) is avoiding that it can be seen from the Virtual Machine of Parallels. Tks!

Ok, I've gone back to checking the "user browser default" settings for the proxy address and port, and it now brings up the NTLM authentication windows asking for my credentials. When I put these in, the applets load perfectly in the browser.
At this point I'd have to assume it is an authentication issue with Java VM 1.4.2 not being able to supply ISA's web proxy with the user's credentials?

Strange problem with virtual machines backup (Hyper-V 2012R2)

Hi
I have a strange problem with backup of virtual machines in one of my Hyper-V environments. Let me describe how does it looks like: There are two physical servers - HP DL360 G8. They are used as hosts for four virtual machines - domain controllers in two domains.
Each of them runs one DC in every domain. I've configured backup "inside" every virtual machine (with Windows Server Backup tool), in its operating system, because domain controllers should have their system state, regularly backuped, etc. Backup
is made on the network share - all machines to the same server as destination. And now the case - two virtual server are backuped as expected - the operation takes 3 - 4 minutes and is always succeded. But in case of two remaining it looks as below:
- Backup operation starts (is scheduled).
- Volume shadow copy is made.
- The first partition of VM starts to be copied. It's Windows 2012 R2 Generation2 VM, so it has EFI, Recovery and C: partition. EFI is as first and at this moment backup stucks for a 2-3 hours! Progress of copying is 0%. After for example 3 hours this partition
is completed and starts the next (disk C:). And again - it freezes for a few hours and suddenly is pushed. As a result the backup is made successfully, but it takes for example 10 hours.
Both "dodgy" VMs are on separated hosts. All four of them were installed in the same time. I tried to change destination to locally connected disk, but no result. It's interesting as well, that after rebooting VM, the first backup is made normally,
but every next has described problem again. In EventLog I can't find any errors, I don't know how to diagnose such case precisely, etc. Have you got idea what can cause such behaviour or where on the server should I look for some hints?
Thanks
Marcin

Hi Marcin,
>>that after rebooting VM, the first backup is made normally, but every next has described problem again.
It shouldn't happen .
To narrow this issue down , Please try to backup an Gen1 VM and check the result .

ASAP: Serial Versioning and the Microsoft Virtual Machine

Hi,
I'm writing an applet and a server that communicate via sockets using Java's serialization interface. The whole thing works fine unless I use IE (which uses Microsofts virtual machine). In the case I get an InvalidClassException with respect to my serialVersionUID. The error says that there is a versioning problem between a class calles "LHands;" which I'm guessing corresponds to my class called "Hands.class", however hardcoding the version ID in "Hands.class" doesn't fix it. My guess is that the applet is serializing the data using the MVM and the server is using Sun VM and is causing the versioning problem. Has anybody encountered anything like this before? I'm stumped, I've already lost three days on this.
Thanks in advanced,
Paul

in case anyones interested I figured it out. Do not try to serialize an array of objects if your in the the situation I described above. Its a lot of headache. Use Vectors instead

How does Sharepoint 2013 Server farm using BLOB data, Hyper-V with virtual machines storing the BLOB data?

Hello Community
    A Sharepoint 2013 Server farm created on a physical server
stores it's documents in SQL Server according to how SQL Server is setup.
    If a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm is using Hyper-V and Virtual machines
how is BLOB data stored ?
    Thank you

Are you looking to use Remote Blob Storage? or RBS of SQL with SP?
It is going to be same way as it is configured for physical server.

Upgrading to mountain lion and problems with time machine

I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. Now Time Machine does these huge hourly backups even when nothing has been updated. When I have VMware running, the update aborts, eventhough nothing in the virtual machine is supposed to be backed up. I am wondering if TM is trying to back up some work files that were created during the conversion. Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas?

Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.
