Addtional Info:
Install the Vsphere client 4.1 on local PC (Win7) works well.
Look forward to your help and thanks in advance.
The event log display once I open the Vsphere client, and re-install the App, this issue also exist.

Probably want to go to VMware for support for their products.  This forum is specifically for Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.

  • Internet Explorer 11 slow response on Windows 7 x64 virtual machine

    I have a number of virtual machines running Windows 7 64bit on my network.
    They are set up on a server running VMWare ESXi 5.1.0. Their users access them from Windows 7 desktops via Remote Desktop.
    The overall performance of the Virtual Machines is fine, except when browsing the web using Internet explorer 11. (Firefox and Chrome are better, but not by much).
    The user experiences uneven scrolling (looks like low FPS), delayed responses to input, new tabs take 1~2 seconds to open and closing the browser sometimes takes a few seconds after you click the 'X'. Firefox also experiences the uneven scrolling and delay
    in opening new tabs, Chrome just has the uneven scrolling.
    None of these issues occur when viewing the virtual machine through the VMware vSphere console.
    This is a fresh install of both the operating system and browsers (installed on 2013-11-22). Everything is up-to-date and all browsers still have their default settings.
    Running browser benchmark tests like Peacekeeper (http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com/) shows a notable difference in performance between browsers running natively on a desktop, through the vSphere console and through RDP.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how it could be remedied?

    Hi,
    To speed up RDP connection, please select High Color (16 bit) under Colors, and under Experience tab, select Modem (56 Kbps).
    To make IE fast, safe and stable, please attempt to run this fixit below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/ie_performance_and_safety
    Also, you can use UI responsiveness tool to dig into what is happening in F12 developer tool in IE11.
    Thanks!

  • Dadenie virtual machine based on Linux 5.7

    Linux Operating System is installed on a virtual machine that is deployed on VSphere 4.0. On the virtual machine deployed database Oracle 11.2.0.1.
    The other day there was the fall of the virtual machine with the database. First, the process was killed DBW0 respectively, and stopped the database.
    After that, after some time the process has caused vmmemctl oom-killer, and the operating system to hang.
    Tell me because of what might fall in a virtual machine and in what direction to dig. Download the database is minimal. In this night it did not loaded.
    Cutting from log file Linux:

    It looks like you are experiencing low memory exhaustion. The kernel uses low memory to track allocations of all memory. When low memory is exhausted, it doesn't matter how much high memory is available, the oom-killer will begin killing processes to keep the server alive.
    I suggest you check your host and guest memory usage and allocation in VSphere, and make sure it supports your guest systems. Chances are probably that you do not have enough physical RAM to perform the tasks, or do not have enough memory allocated to your virtual machine, or have a process in your guest system that causes memory starvation because it is not configured correctly, e.g. Oracle SGA.

  • Windows domain controller in a virtual machine: how dangerous is saving its state for a short period of time?

    I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 virtualization cluster. All the hosts are connected to an external storage system, and virtual machines' files are stored on external volumes (CSVs). All the hosts and virtual machines are a part of the same AD domain
    (mixed Windows Server 2012 RTM / 2008 R2 domain controllers). All the domain controllers are running in the virtual machines on the hosts of this cluster.
    To prevent problems when all the hosts are turned off and then on simultaneously (for example, because of a power failure) all the domain controller VM files has been placed on local disks of the virtualization hosts (not on the Cluster Shared
    Volumes). As Hyper-V services don't depend on other Windows Server services (except its networking components), it means that my domain controllers can always start, providing the virtualization host can start at all. However, it also means
    that those DCs cannot be (quickly) migrated to other hosts while their current hosts are being rebooted. So if I need to reboot a virtualization host to install new updates, for example, I have to shut down the corresponding DC, reboot the host
    and wait for the DC to finish cold boot and come back online. It means some interruption of service for our users, which, in turn, requires me to perform the reboots late in night.
    The downtime can be significantly decreased by saving the state of the VM in which the DC is running. However, all the articles I've found on the Internet strongly recommend against it. I'm trying to understand why this recommendation was issued in the first
    place. However, I'm unable to find a clear explanation. I've found some statements that saving state of a DC can cause serious AD replication problems because of tombstoning, and that the password of a DC computer account may be changed
    while the DC itself stays in the saved state, which could prevent the DC from connecting to the domain after its state has been restored. However, those considerations are non-significant when we discuss a short-time
    (5 to 10 minutes) saved state.
    I work with AD and virtualization long time, and I fail to see any danger in saving state of a DC for several minutes. In my opinion, after its state has been restored it would simply replicate all the AD changes from other DCs, and that's all.
    What's your opinion?

    Hello,
    as stated in "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/virtual_active_directory_domain_controller_virtualization_hyperv(v=ws.10).aspx"
    Operational Considerations for Virtualized Domain Controllers
    Domain controllers that are running on virtual machines have operational restrictions that do not apply to domain controllers that are running on physical machines. When you use a virtualized domain controller, there are some virtualization software features
    and practices that you should not use:
    Do not pause, stop, or store the
    saved state of a domain controller
    in a virtual machine for time periods longer than the tombstone lifetime of the forest and then resume from the paused or saved state.
    This may sound as it is supported to store it for shorter times and use it.
    BUT recommendation also from the Hyper-V Program manager in
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/11/24/the-domain-controller-dilemma.aspx recommends against using them.
    Also best practices

  • How to Fix: Error (10698) The virtual machine () could not be live migrated to the virtual machine host () using this cluster configuration.

    I am unable to live migrate via SCVMM 2012 R2 to one Host in our 5 node cluster.  The job fails with the errors below.
    Error (10698)
    The virtual machine () could not be live migrated to the virtual machine host () using this cluster configuration.
    Recommended Action
    Check the cluster configuration and then try the operation again.
    Information (11037)
    There currently are no network adapters with network optimization available on host.
    The host properties indicate network optimization is available as indicated in the screen shot below.
    Any guidance on things to check is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    No entry is made on the cluster log of the destination node. 
    To me this means the nodes cannot talk to each other, but I don’t know why.  
    They are on the same domain.  Their server names resolve properly and they can ping eachother both by name and IP.

    做微软的先行者,享受用户体验

    Yes, definitely check your zoning/masking.  Remember that with vHBA you have twice as many WWPNs to account for.  Performing a live migration makes use of both pairs during the transfer from one host to the other - one set is active on the machine
    currently running and the second set is used to ensure connectivity on the destination.  So if you are using Address Set A on Host1, Host2 will try to set up the fibre channel connection using Address Set B.  If you do a quick migration, you would
    continue to use the same Address Set on the second host.  That's why you most likely need to check your zoning/masking for the alternate set.

  • Disconnecting WEB SSL VPN client windows 7 to remote windows 7 virtual machine

    Good morning,
              my problem, common to other colleagues who use Windows machines 7 Professional is this:
    I connect to WEB SSL VPN Cisco from Client Windows 7 Home Premium Explorer-9 to a virtual machine Windows 7 Professional using a specific professional audience and vpn user. I access the Terminal Services window (attached JPG) with a list of links to virtual machines.I connect to the virtual machine in Remote Desktop Full Screen mode and log in with the same user and password. For the connection is installed an add-type control ActiveX CISCO Portforwarder Control version 3.1.0.1, file name -> cscopf.ocx.
    Problem: The session window once inside the virtual machine disappears and disconnect from the virtual machine back in the window of choice of Terminal services available. This always happens and there is no way to maintain a stable connection.With modality not FULL SCREEN, the session window would seem to remain stable but however is impossible to work in a small window.
    This problem is raised after the update windows 7 to SP1 both Home premium and Professional. In fact before the update the connection is stable. The update to SP1 update the RDP client microsoft to version 6.1.7601.17154 from version 6.1.7600 but i do not know if this the cause of the problem.
    Have you an update of CISCO active-x to fix the problem? I cancelled the file and download the last version but the problem remains.
    Workaround: Use local virtual machine with xp or windos 2003 and access form this operating system but I consider absurd to use a local   
                        virtual machine to access a service which should be directed
    Note: This problem does not occur if the VPN session to the virtual machine Windows 7 is launched from a host machine running Vista Home Premium with RDP Client 6.0. My previous PC had this OS and I was working in an absolutely stable by performing the same type of connection.
    Host Operating System: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    OS virtual machine accessed via ssl web vpn: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    Can you help?Thank you.
    Carmelo Orlando
    No

    The same problem here as well.
    I am using a Win7 PC to connect to an Win Vista PC via SSLVPN. Once i logged into the remote PC, the session is disconnected.
    Do we have any corrections from Cisco for the moment?

    If this doesn't work it's likely that your VMM server doesn't work. Check Application log to see if there are errors related to VMM service.
    You can also collect traces as described
    here and attach them to this thread.
    Are you using a domain administrator account?  (this is the default allowed after SCVMM is installed - until other users are added).
    also try restarting VMM server or VMM services once.

  • Client Hyper-V "Cannot Connect to Virtual Machine"

    I'm trying to run Client Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro machine. I was able to successfully install the service, and can create virtual machines and hard disks on my local system. I can even start them, and see boot activity via the preview window in the MMC.
    I cannot, however, connect to any machines from the local system: when I do, it hangs on "Connecting to <machinename>" for 30 seconds before it pops up with the dialog:
    "Cannot connect to virtual machine. Try to connect again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    Obviously, because this is Client Hyper-V, I am the system administrator, so I scour the Internet to solve my problem. I see solutions related to firewalls, administrative permissions, a few other things, and nothing has worked. I also tried creating
    a virtual machine on a Windows 8 Enterprise system (which can connect to it just fine) and export it for the Pro machine to import, and I still cannot connect to it, whether the VM is registered in place or copied to the host.
    Some other notes:
    - None of these systems has an OS installed - two locally created ones either had no boot or booted off a Linux LiveCD, and the exported one attempted to do a PXE boot. Thus, I cannot attempt to link via Remote Desktop since the computers have no names
    - Hyper-V has some other quirks on my system as well: in order to stop a virtual machine, I have to end the vmwp process - which restarts the machine - and then stop it from the console within a few seconds. Otherwise, it hangs in the "Stopping"
    state. In addition, none of the buttons on the side of the MMC work, but that occurs over all of MMC.
    - No events show up in the Event log when a connection fails
    - I am an admin on the Pro machine and have permissions to connect to machines and operate the management view

    When you checked the event log’s what sources did you check? 
    Can you verify there are not any relevant error/warning events under the following sources:
    Applications and Services Logs
    Microsoft
    Windows
    Hyper-V-VMMS
    Admin
    Operational
    Hyper-V-Worker
    Admin
    Operational
    If not we should enable some additional logging if possible to see what is going on.
    Shutdown any running VM’s
    Close all of the Hyper-V UI
    Stop the VMMS service (net stop vmms)
    Enable Analytic logging for the VMMS and Worker Process (see below)
    Enable UI Tracing for Hyper-V Manager and VMConnect (see below)
    Start the VMMS service (net start vmms)
    Open Hyper-V Manger
    Restart the VM
    Attempt to connect (try two or three times)
    Gather Logs (see below)
    Disable Tracing (see below)
    Enabling Analytic Logging For the VMMS and Worker Process
    Open the Event Viewer
    From the menu bar select View -> Show Analytic and Debug Logs
    Navigate to the Hyper-V logs and Enable the Analytic Channels
    Applications and Services Logs
    Microsoft
    Windows
    Hyper-V-VMMS
    Analytic
    Right Click -> Enable (yes if a pop up asks about enabling the logs)
    Hyper-V-Worker
    Analytic
    Right Click -> Enable (yes if a pop up asks about enabling the logs)
    Enabling UI Tracing
    Create a new text file named “VMClientTrace.config” in the "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0\” folder
    Copy the following XML text into that file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <configuration>
        <Microsoft.Virtualization.Client.TraceConfigurationOptions>
            <setting name="TraceTagFormat" type="System.Int32">
                <value>3</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="BrowserTraceLevel" type="System.Int32">
                <value>71</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="VMConnectTraceLevel" type="System.Int32">
                <value>71</value>
            </setting>
        </Microsoft.Virtualization.Client.TraceConfigurationOptions>
    </configuration>
    Save the file.
    Gathering The Logs
    The Analytic logs will be in the analytic folder (you often have to refresh or select another source then analytic again to see them)
    The UI trace Logs will be in %temp% (sometime back one directory i.e. %temp% = “C:\Users\taylorb\AppData\Local\Temp\2” for me but the logs are at “C:\Users\taylorb\AppData\Local\Temp”
    Disabling Tracing
    To disable Analytic Tracing just right click on the analytic sources and select disable (same as enabling)
    To disable UI tracing just delete the “%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0\VMClientTrace.config” file.

    The operation Change properties of virtual machine is not permitted on a virtual machine that has shared virtual hard disks.
    Recommended Action
    The operation Change properties of virtual machine is not permitted on a virtual machine that has shared virtual hard disks.
    Is this limitation by design? If we have a shared VHDX between two VMs, then I am not able to change the VM properties from SCVMM.
    SCVMM 2012 R2 with Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V.
    Appreciate any help !

    Hello,
    that is a VMM issue.
    If you did not deploy your virtual cluster from a VMM service template, VMM doesn't recognize the configuration.
    Until MS got it fixed, you could use the workaround from system center central:

  • SAP client and other software on a Virtual Machine

    I'm the campus coordinator for a university that is a member of the University Alliances program.  This gives us the ability to put the R/3 client and other software on lab machines and also distribute it to students.
    Given that we deploy in a shared lab environment on a university campus we often don't have absolute control over things like browser versions, plugins available, security settings, Java version available, and so on.  We also only have the ability to do updates, installations, etc. at fixed times of the year.
    As a solution for this, we're contemplating creating a virtual machine to be able to control the environment more and also allow the student greater control and customization.  At this point we'd be looking at developing a Windows VM, either Vista or XP, that would have the R/3 client, IE with all the correct plugins for running Visual Composer, NetWeaver Developer Studio, and other programs such as Solution Composer.  The idea would be that if we need to add a new software resource, change a version, tweak the environment, etc. we could just update and redistribute this virtual machine.
    Has anyone here attempted this type of deployment?  As we are just beginning, any helpful hints or advice would be appreciated.

    I appreciate your willingness to think through this with me and share your expertise.

    My assumption was that if we had multiple windows instances out there all with the same key (assuming non-volume key) that the piracy protection built into the OS might in some way cause problems. 
    > (Perhaps not.  We're still considering the ins and outs of that.)  We're hesitant to put our campus volume license key on these VMs, since one could recover that key from the system and then it could become publicly available.  Clearly that would be bad.

    > That may be not a problem because those keys "usually" work only with the corresponding media - people would need to get their hands on a coorporate installation media to actually use it.
    I'm not sure how challenging that in fact might be.  A quick Google search turned up lots of sites that at least claim to have Windows volume keys and necessary install media.  I know that college students can be very adept at things in that domain.
    > The biggest problem you might face is the UUID of the client instances - they will be identical. If you plan to use Active Directory functionality (for e. g. Single Sign On) then you need to make sure each VM is different (speaking of running sysprep) and that you have a different user on each VM - which will be not easy to mantain.
    If I'm understanding your thought correctly, the UUID issue is why I thought attempting 1 shared OS license key for all VMs would be problematic.  My assumption is that having a unique OS key on each VM would solve this problem. 
    As far Active Directory goes, that likely won't be an issue. Our students have storage on the campus network, but we have no plans for the VM to access that.  All our SAP resources are hosted remotely at a UCC.  I envision the students being able to 'boot' their VM, connect to the UCC using the client software, do their SAP work, and be done.  The only storage they'd have in the VM would be a drive in the VM.  While this might not work in many deployments, given our use of this just for lab instruction, I think it would work well.
    > Another point to consider is: How to update? If you update your main image (e. g. necessary SAPGUI patches) - how will you distribute that to the USB-VMs - or how will you make sure the students use the latest copy?
    This is where our situation and a corporate situation likely differs.  Since we are hosted by a UCC that caters just to the academic environment things tend to be build and frozen during the summer and then not changed until the next year.  Our classes run each semester independently.  Although we may have to roll out a different VM from one semester to the next, a mid-semester change shouldn't be needed.  However, having said that, if we do need to install a patch, that should be much easier.  In a lab shared environment updating a software version requires a lot of coordination.  In this VM situation, each students has full administrator privilege over their VM.  If they need to install a patch, they can do so.  If they mess this up, they haven't disrupted anyone else.  In that instance they could just download the base VM again as a 'reset.'
    > In such an environment I'd more think about setting up a terminal server (using Windows 2003) and install all necessary software there. With that you only need to update at one place, you can granularily give permissions to the users and supporting users in case of a proble is easier (mirroring the session) than having single instances with all the same hostname of the client. And all students only need an RDP client which comes with the Windows XP or Vista by default.
    That is something we haven't considered with this project, and I'll have to check with our system manager.  Resources might be an issue here.  We have an abundance of PCs, so each of them running their own VM isn't an issue.  I'm not sure if we have a server capable of supporting 30-40 simultaneous remote connections that is not otherwise in use.
    Thanks for your ideas here Markus.  Any other thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome.  I'll also update this thread as I start experimenting with this over the next couple of weeks.

  • Why does IE8 running on XP and Win7 Virtual Machine deletes the history while I'm still browsing the same site with client-side hashbang routing?

    Hello, 
    I have a asp.net mvc 5 web application running on .net 4.5 hosted on my local windows 8 machine on macbook pro using parallels. I'm running Internet Explorer 8 Version: 8.0.6001.18702 running on XP and Version: 8.0.7601.17514 running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
     I've got both of the virtual machine source from www.modern.ie 
    My web application is attempting to provide single page user experience by having some client-side routing by using '#!/xxx' hashbangs in the url so that I can get and post via ajax and change the hash in  the url without causing the page to reload. My
    code works fine in IE9+ and other modern browsers.
    However, I'm facing this strange issue in both of the IE8 versions. When running my demo app in IE8, I can login, view home page and can navigate from this home page to many details page. From the very first login page, all the pages are the result
    of form's post action via ajax which then expects html from server and loads in the DOM. The page structure of my app is like summary form => Details page (can also contain summary forms) => Details...so on.
    The above process works fine for few of the navigation steps. If I keep navigating from one page to another & go back, I have observed that the browser back button is removing the history items slowly. And a time comes when it totally forgets about
    all the history pages that I visited to reach this current page I'm viewing!! It treats like I have just started my browsing session and this current page is the first page I've landed on with no back option. Now if I again try to navigate, I have encountered
    problems like both the back and forward buttons gets disabled.
    Hope, my words above is clear enough to explain this problem. The same application works fine in IE9+ and other browsers. 
    Till now, I have tried following steps on both VMs: 
    Resetting IE8.
    Increasing disk space to 1024mb for temporary internet files storage.
    Setting 'Never' for Check for newer versions of stored pages.
    Disabling the automatic crash recovery feature didn't helped in this case. Found this on support website.
    Deleted temporary files, history, cache, etc many a times.
    Search many forums, posted question on StackOverflow, ASP.NET
    Forums - but didn't helped.
    Tried 'beforeunload' event of browser to see if any of the page is reloading because of submit or any other reason. But the page doesn't reload at all.
    The issue is browser forgets about the browsing history while I'm still browsing the same site. 
    Is there any possible fix for the issue above? Does IE8 have any issues as many ajax form post is happening on every page? 

    I have really tried many things to identify any possible reason of the issue above. Even rewrote all my javascript navigation code and checked server-side code.
    But the only place where I got the solution is at site: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/bugs.asp which states that there is a bug in IE8 which reads like:
     IE0012: IE Travellog broken when navigating back/away from a page with
     a large POST form If there is a form input field with a value longer
     than 523,659 characters, when you navigate away from the page, IE may
     clear the current session's travellog (similar to history), disabling
     the back and forward buttons. Repros in IE6 & IE7.
    There are following solutions that you can go for:
    - Check for the input field that has lots of characters as mentioned above and solve your problem.
    - If you have control over the system where IE8 will be used, you can add the following registry key on that machine. There is no existing key, so, you need to add a new one:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TravelLog] "MaxSize"=dword:ffffffff
    I am really relaxed to find this information as I spent really long time to solve this issue. Hope this will help someone.

  • Log into a virtual machine on server 2012 r2 datacenter from a windows 8.1 client login

    Hello,
    I have set up a VPN on Windows Server 2012 r2 Datacenter using Hyper-V. Everything seems to be functioning ok using the Hyper V platform. I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a virtual machine on the VPN from a Windows 8.1 client using the
    widows login and if it is then how to go about it. If I could have some links to tutorials etc I would be greatful. I have not been able to find anything and I have been looking for days. I would really appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ed,
    I am sorry to say that I am not quite sure of your requirement. Is the Windows Server 2012 R2 computer a host server in Hyper-V? Did you mean that you want to RDP into a Hyper-V VM from a Windows 8.1 client? If yes, you need to allow Remote Desktop Connections
    in guest OS. The network adapter type must allow communication with host machine and network discovery mode and the services supporting network discovery mode must be turned on.
    Best regards,

  • 'SERVERNAME' failed to perform the operation. The virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. (Virtual machine ID "GUID")

    DPM 2012 R2
    Server 2012 R2 and Server 2012 (R1). Both CSV volumes and Hyper-V hosts with non clustered volumes.
    ISCSI Attached Storage. (Nimble SAN)
    Every time a VM backup is made this error message occurs:
    "'SERVERNAME' failed to perform the operation. The virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. (Virtual machine ID "GUID")"
    The backup seems to finish fine most of the time, but it also seems to be causing some VM's to be in a hung/frozen state when this happens.

    Hi Nordland,
    So it seems that there are some non-backup operation that is trying to occur on the Virtual machine while the backup is in progress. Does this VM have replication enabled on it. Is there a Hyper-V replica server to which this machine get's replicated?

  • "Could not create Java virtual machine" for several XP SP3 clients

    Hi,
    In this last year I got the message "could not create java virtual machine",
    (suddenly, after several mounths without any kind of problem),
    on 10-15 XP SP3 clients in our lan, lan in which all the 200 clients (90% XP SP3)
    have this application installed.
    Every time the solution seems to be different:
    sometimes the cause is a virus, sometimes i have to disinstall all Java components
    and reinstall only the Java RE 6.0_23 (used by the application),
    sometimes I have to make also a system registry cleaning for Java components,
    only few times was enough to clear the Java cash, change the kind of Java network connection,
    delete the temporary files...
    In two situations the problem was solved changing UltraVnc with RealVnc
    and only once the user solved himself restarting the computer...
    I'd like to know which is the meaning of this message and which steps is better
    to follow in order to solve the problem in the shortest time.
    Thank You

    Thank you
    for anwering my question !
    Anyway, in all the 10-15 cases I solved this problem, I hadn't to change the amount of RAM...
    never... and, once solved, the computer client is ok and the application works without subsequent problems...
    So, as I said, i can solve the problem without Knowing the real reason, and often after several
    hours... (you can read in my previous comment about a lot of differences solutions...)
    The matter is... that I can't understand "how and why" I solve the problem...
    Bye
