Virtual PC 7 woes

Hello,
I am experiencing two problems: 1) related to the drive file, 2) related to quitting VPC.
Problem 1
I have legitimate copies of VPC7.0.4 and Windows XP Pro installed on their own partition in one of 3 hard drives in my PowerMac G4. This partition is different from the one that I use daily.
Months passed since I last used VPC7 when I decided to update that partition from Jaguar.9 to Tiger to Tiger.7. I used Tiger's Update feature, then I used the 10.4.7 combo installer. I repaired permissions before and after.
When I booted VPC7 following the Tiger updates, it displayed the Select Method dialog because it no longer recognized the PC drive file (which was missing from the PC List).
I found a work around, namely clicking the Cancel button in the Select Method dialog that displays after I drag and drop the drive file icon onto VPC7's Dock icon. When I do that, Windows restores to its previously saved state properly.
When I then quit VPC7, and relaunch it, the Select Method dialog displays again and the above mentioned drive file is still missing from the PC List.
Besides completely reinstalling (which would be a huge spending of time), is there any other way to restore my drive file to the PC List so that the file is recognized by VPC7 upon launching?
Problem 2
When I quit VPC7, it autohides and the Finder displays instead of VPC7 continuing to display while the PC state is saved. Does anyone have a solution to this? This is a new problem since my upgrade to Tiger.
Many thanks in advance and cheers!

Hi, Barry.
1. You wrote: "VPC7.0.4"Are you sure about the version? AFAIK, VPC 7.0.2 was the latest update available from Microsoft.
2. Have you checked the "Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 - Troubleshooting" page?
3. Check the MacWindows "Virtual PC 7 Report" to see if the problems you describe have been cited or solved.
4. You might want to search or post on the "Virtual PC" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS Virtual PC users, including a variety of expert users.
Be sure to state the correct version of Virtual PC you are using if you post there.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

Spotlight woes

Hi there,
Two questions/problems;
1 - the info button next to (e.g a picture) will not do anything
2 - how do I manually index Spotlight?
Thanks, Ricky.

"1 - the info button next to (e.g a picture) will not do anything"
Not quite sure what you mean, but if you select the picture and type Command-i, you do GET INFO
"2 - how do I manually index Spotlight?"
Not quite sure why you would want to do that. You can stop a drive, volume or a folder from being indexed by adding it to the PRIVACY tab window in the Spotlight Preference pane.
Removing the volume from the Privacy pane will update the index, not from start. File that have been removed are removed from the index, files that have been changed will be updated with the parameters that are set for that type of file. New files will be added to the list.
Note that once a volume is indexed, if it is still active, Spotlight dynamically indexes the volume on the fly as changes are made to the volume.
Try this:
1. Select a file on your hard drive with the option key down and drag it to your desktop. This will ensure that the file is named exactly as the original
2. Select and copy the filename
3. Open Spotlight using Command-f
4. Paste in the file name
5. If DOCUMENTS is checked in the Spotlight Preference SEARCH RESULTS tab
the file will be listed
NOW:
1. Click on a listed file and you will see their location at the bottom of the window
2. Select the file from the file that shows it is located on the desktop
3. Go to your desktop and put the file into the trash
4. Notice that the location of the file listed in the Spotlight search list changes to show the file is now in the trash.
5. Empty your trash
6. Notice now that the file is immediately de-listed.
Indexing a volume for the first time takes time. A number of factors will determine the speed. It is important, that Spotlight works best when it is not interrupted during this process. Not mandatory, but experience indicates such. Once a volume is indexed, changes to the index are done on the fly. Thus updating is virtually instantaneous. Remember that Spotlight is indexing the metadata, not the entire contents of the volume. Obviously, if Spotlight were to index the entire contents, i.e., every word of every document, the consequences could be devastating. Look at doubling to tripling the used space of your drive to accommodate the index. That is why there is a limit to how much Spotlight will index content in a Word or Excel document.
And Ricky, why did you title your query with, "Spotlight woes?"

Problem with DNS and/or Virtual Host (works from inside, not from outside)

I am running several web sites (as virtual hosts) successfully on one Xserve (192.168.200), which are accessible internally and from the Internet (via forwarding port 80 on our firewall).
Now I am trying to add another web site (newmini.domain.com), which however is running on a Mac mini (also on the same subnet as the Xserve) at 192.168.100. What I did is make an additional entry under the Xserve's DNS for the domain (domain.com) (+ Machine..., pointing to 192.168.0.100). (I also made the necessary changes to the Mac mini's httpd and hosts configuration--no problem there).
Now, here's the strange thing: All computers on the subnet, whose DNS points to the Xserve, can see and browse newmini.domain.com fine. No problem. The computers ask the Xserve for the IP of the host in question, the Xserve says, "192.168.100", the request goes to the Mac mini, and it serves the web site as expected.
But this doesn't happen if the request comes from the Internet. Instead of seeing the Mac mini, the client sees the default web site of the Xserve... So it appears that somewhere, the virtual host part of the HTTP request is lost between our firewall and the Xserve.
Any ideas? Thanks.

It's not going to.
You say you've setup port forwarding on the firewall. Port forwarding only cares about the port number (80). It knows nothing about the nature of the request (e.g. the hostname that the web request is for). Therefore all extenal connections on port 80 get sent to the XServe. The newmini doesn't see the traffic at all.
If you only have a single public IP address you can only forward port 80 traffic to a single machine. Your options are to either use a different port number, or configure the XServe to proxy the connection to the mini (so now the traffic goes router -> XServe -> Mini -> XServe -> router), although that might not do what you want since it still places load and dependencies on the XServe.

Report issue on Virtual cube with services

Hi,
I'm following a how-to document to report on a virtual cube using a custom function module and everything seems to be OK except it is dumping at the following line which is included in the How To document "How Tou2026Implement a virtual InfoProvider with Services".
Both <l_s_data> and E_T_DATA are of same data types as discussed in the how-to document.
append <l_s_data> to E_T_DATA
These are the declarations which are same as HowTo document
E_T_DATA TYPE STANDARD TABLE
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_s_data> TYPE ANY.
Did any one face this issue. Greatly appreciate any insight into this issue. We are on BW 3.0B.
the dump i'm getting is ...
Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.
Error analysis
The statement    "MOVE src TO dst"   requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
Since this statement occurs in a Unicode program, the special convertibility rules for Unicode programs apply.

Is there a way to create a virtual network using C# and the Azure SDK/API?

I don't see a clear way to create an Azure Virtual Network using the SDK.
I have all the methods to create the virtual network configuration, but no way to submit it:
IList<string> VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes = new List<string>();
IList<string> LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes = new List<string>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.DnsServer> DNSServers = new List<NetworkListResponse.DnsServer>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.Subnet> Subnets = new List<NetworkListResponse.Subnet>();
NetworkListResponse.Gateway Gateway = new NetworkListResponse.Gateway();
IList<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite> LocalSites = new List<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.Connection> Connections = new List<NetworkListResponse.Connection>();
VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes.Add("a.b.c.d/cidr");
DNSServers.Add(new NetworkListResponse.DnsServer() { Name = "TestDNS1", Address = "a.b.c.d" });
Subnets.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Subnet() { Name = "Subnet-1", AddressPrefix = "a.b.c.d/cidr" });
Subnets.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Subnet() { Name = "GatewaySubnet", AddressPrefix = "a.b.c.d/cidr" });
Connections.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Connection() { Type = LocalNetworkConnectionType.IPSecurity });
LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes.Add("a.b.c.d/cidr");
LocalSites.Add(new NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite()
Name = "On-Prem",
Connections = Connections,
VpnGatewayAddress = "a.b.c.d",
AddressSpace = new NetworkListResponse.AddressSpace() { AddressPrefixes = LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes }
Gateway.Sites = LocalSites;
Gateway.Profile = GatewayProfile.ExtraLarge;
NetworkManagementClient netMgmtClient = new NetworkManagementClient(CloudCredentials);
NetworkListResponse netlistresp = GlobalSettings.mainWindow.netMgmtClient.Networks.List();
netlistresp.VirtualNetworkSites
.Add(new NetworkListResponse.VirtualNetworkSite()

AddressSpace = new NetworkListResponse.AddressSpace() { AddressPrefixes = VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes },
DnsServers = DNSServers,
Subnets = Subnets,
AffinityGroup = "East US",
Gateway = Gateway,
Label = "LabelValue"
I have also created the entire XML response and sent it to the NetworkManagementClient -> Networks.SetConfiguration() method, but it appears this command expects the virtual network to already be in existence. If anyone could give guidance, it would be
appreciated.

Hi,
As discuss above , we have to create the XML response ,before that first you have to
GetConfiguration() details of existing virtual network.
string.format("@<NetworkConfiguration xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2011/07/NetworkConfiguration'>
<VirtualNetworkConfiguration>

<VirtualNetworkSite name=""{0}"" Location=""{1}"">
<AddressSpace>
<AddressPrefix>10.0.0.0/8</AddressPrefix>
</AddressSpace>
<Subnets>
<Subnet name=""Subnet-2"">
<AddressPrefix>10.0.0.0/11</AddressPrefix>
</Subnet>
</Subnets>
</VirtualNetworkSite>",Networkname,location)+(@"<VirtualNetworkSite name=""demodsf1"" Location=""West Europe"">
<AddressSpace>

<AddressPrefix>10.0.0.0/11</AddressPrefix>
</Subnet>
</Subnets>
</VirtualNetworkSite> </VirtualNetworkSites>
</VirtualNetworkConfiguration>
</NetworkConfiguration>")
you have to append the node for existing node with new values , i got it its adding new virtual network
Best regards,

How can I cancel the "Recreate All Virtual Dekstops" for a pooled collection in 2012 R2?

I currently have a system single-server installation of VDI, using 2012 R2 Standard as the server, using pooled collections of Windows 8.1. In general, everything works very well, but I've been searching in vain for ONE command. When
I make a change to the master template in Hyper-V, Checkpoint it, then go into the Remote Desktop Services, go the appropriate collection and initiate a "Recreate All Virtual Desktops", how would I cancel that?
It's happened on more than one occasion, where I make a change or an update to the template, and then push out the 25 new Virtual Desktops, and then the client comes back asking for a "little" change....but I'm stuck pushing it out until
all 25 desktops have been recreated. There must be a way to interrupt this process (probably leaving a few VM Desktops in an unstable state...which I don't care too much about as it's a pooled collection), update the template, and push it out again with
the "Recreate All Virtual Desktops". I do have the concurrency set so it recreates 5 at a time, but that noticeably impacts the users, and I don't want to just push out all 25 at a pop and interrupt everyone's work. Any ideas?

Hi,
Have you tried Stop-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionJob ? Something like below:
Import-Module RemoteDesktop
Stop-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionJob -CollectionName "PooledCollectionName" -ConnectionBroker "broker.yourdomain.com"

How to load a virtual tour in Flash Catalyst ?

Hi,
I want to know if is it possible to load on FC 5.5 a Virtual Tour imported in .swf and created from Autopano Tour Pro.
example: http://fraize54th.free.fr/jardinAlex.html
I tried but I don't find any issue possible, if somebody could tell me if I can do this or I I have to give up !
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,
I wasn't able to make that SWF load from within an FC project, either. FC does support embedding of SWFs, but there may be some addional logic that sets this SWF up that doesn't function well when called from within another SWF.
This isn't a perfect solution, but you could have an FC button or action open an URL (where your virtual tour swf resided).
Good luck!

Error While Creating Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT Virtual Machine

I am facing an error while creating a Virtual Machine on the Cloud. The Error is below:
Error (610)
Virtual Machine Manager was unable to find a value for the required Sysprep parameter ProductKey.
Recommended Action
Add the missing Sysprep parameter either to the answer file or to the operating system configuration, and then try the operation again.
My Template does not have the Product Key defined. The OS is Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT. Is defining Product Key absolutely necessary? I have other Templates for other Operating Systems and they are working fine. Only facing problem
with this.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the SCVMM world a 'template' is composed of the following: a VHD with an OS that has been generalized (sysprep), virtual hardware profile (settings), and an OS profile.
The OS profile is required to have a product key. A MAC activation key at the minimum. But the key is required.
If you deploy a VM from a VHD, the same customization assumptions are not at play. Which is why it succeeds. (there is no template in this case, there is also no requirement that the OS in the VHD be sysprep'd).
SCVMM has rules. And lots of things don't make sense until you begin to understand them and play within them. (I am not saying that the SCVMM rules are a good thing, just saying they exist)

Install R12 on a Virtual Machine hosted on Windows Vista

I wanted to install Oracle EBS R12.1.1 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit but used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error. Hussein Sawwan
helped and said that this is not certified. He adviced me to create a VMWare Server. Following is my experience. I hope it is helpful. Any
suggestions, additions are more than welcome. Thanks to all who helpmed me especially Hussein Sawwan, Helios, Gareth Roberts.
I used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error after the installation would zoom through 33%. That was because my staging area was not correct. The staging area should be just next to c:\ or whatever be the root directory (or drive). No space or special characters in folder name. My current structure is as follows:
c:\r12stage. Under r12stage I have following folders and subfolders
oraAppDB -- 49 Disks
oraApps -- 11 Disks
oraAS -- 3 Disks (This comes from the Rapid Install Tools)
oraDB -- 5 Disks
startCD -- 1 Disk plus other folders. Just copy startcd from the unzipped download and paste to r12stage area.
I then created a virtual machine using VMWare Server (free download but need to register to get the serial number). Because I installed
vmware server on Vista Home Premium 64 bit Host OS, I have to boot my machine by pressing F8 and then select Disable Digital Signature
Enformcement. Thanks to Gareth Roberts for this tip. Create a vm and install Windows 2003 by selecting the .img file (first cd) by selecting Use ISO image and then path of the windows 2003 cd 1 (zipped file). start the virtual machine, that will install windows 2003 and then ask for location of 2nd cd. On the host machine, where the second win 2003 zip file resides, unzip the second zip file and name the folder as cd2. share this folder to the __vmware_user__ and from the virtual machine, map network drive to \\hostmachinename\cd2. Select this as the location of cd2 and complete the installation. Install MKS Toolkit from http://cygwin.com/ and visual c++ from Microsoft website. for information on this please refer to the following URL. Thanks to Muhammad Habib
http://mhabib.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/installing-oracle-applications-e-bussiness-11i-on-windows-xp/
After installation is done and Windows Update is run, share the r12stage directory on the host machine to the vmuser and launch rapidwiz.cmd from the command prompt and follow the instruction. For internet connection from the VM use Ethernet as NAT.
If the installation errors halfway through, clean up your VM by following instructions in document id 292424.1 in MetaLink. If you dont have access to Metalink then I summarize the steps briefly over here.
Launch the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software key.
Select the Apache Group subkey and delete it.
Select the Oracle subkey and delete it.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services.
Carefully select and delete each service beginning with Oracle. For example, delete "Oracle Apache Server PROD_<nodename>".
When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the Environment Variables editing screen according to your system setup. For example, right-click My Computer and select
Properties. From the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.
Select the following system variables if created during the failed installation, and delete them: DISCO_JRE, DISCO_VBROKER, JSERV,
VBROKER_JAVAVM, VBROKER_TAG, WV_GATEWAY.
Select the Path variable, but do not delete it. Carefully edit it and remove any component with "Oracle" in the name, or that otherwise
references the failed install. For example, delete "E:\11.5.10\test\visora\8.0.6\bin;".
Save and exit System Properties.
Open a command window and navigate to the C:\Program Files\ directory. Delete the Oracle subdirectory.
If your Oracle Inventory directory was not C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory and was therefore not deleted in the previous step, locate it
and delete it.
Restart your machine
It is now safe to remove the Oracle filesystem that was partially installed during the failed installation. Go to the base install directory,
or top-level directory under which you installed either the Database Server (DATA, DB) or the Applications Tier Server (APPL, ORA, COMN)
directories, or both. Note that you may choose to rename a directory before you delete it. This allows you to use the same directory name and start a new installation even before you finish the delete filesystem operation. For example, if you placed your filesystem in a "test" directory under
"E:\11.5.10":
C:\> E:
E:\> cd 11.5.10
E:\> rename test oldtest
E:\> del /s /q oldtest
In another window:
C:\> cd <stage install directory>
Q:\> rapidwiz.cmd
After cleaning up if you still get error like RW-50004: Error Code received when running external process. Check log file for
details. Running database Install driver for VIS instance, after 13% complte step 1 of 5 then I suggest that you re-create the machine and follow the above steps again. Including installing win 2003, mks tool kit , vc++, etc. It will be a success.
Starting concurrent manager takes up enormous memory and slows down everything, so if you dont need it then dont ever start it. APPS password is apps and sysadmin user is sysadmin.
Good luck.

I had Vista 64-bit machine, installed Ubuntu in VMWare. Installed Oracle apps on 32-bit Ubuntu under VMware and was able to access Oracle apps. But, it is very very slow. It hangs sometimes and takes 15-20mins to display Ubuntu screens. Am I missing something here. I have a 4GB RAM and VMWare can not use all the 4GB. It may be using 2GB of 4GB. Am I missing something?

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

Creation of virtual directory for EPMA during 11.1.2.2 configuration

Hi Experts,
I was trying to install and configure the EPM 11.1.2.2 products on a POC machine with Windows 2008 R2. I was able to install and configure some products and i was facing issue with the EPMA configuration where it struck during "Creation of EPMA virtual Directory". I can see the virtual directory created but not sure why this is not finishing up and just struck at this level, deployment is all fine. Attached the config log for any reference

Why did you modify analytics.ear ?
Should'nt you make changes here : Middleware_Home>\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1
\analyticsRes\WEB_INF\web.xml
Follow this note : OBIEE 11g: How To Access Custom Files Through URL By Creating Virtual Directory In Weblogic Server? [ID 1408240.1]
And you should be able to deploy that virtual directory and access it after authentication.

How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host.

Hi,
How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host?
I need: host name, time created, creator user.
I saw in Hyper-V-VMMS but I found info about movements of VM between hosts.
Thank's in advance.
Denius Valiant

For Host Name * Created Time Use This Command In PowerShell
Get-VM -Name (Read-Host "Type Your Vm Name") |select CreationTime , ComputerName
and for Create User , As i know you should see on Event Log .
Go To Event Log Viewer--->Applications And Services Logs--->Microsoft--->Windows--->Hyper-V-VMMS--->Operational
You can see in Event Log who create the Vm.

Bit Locker on windows 2008 R2 Virtual machine

Hello there !
We have a a number of Windows 2008 R2 machines and we wish to provide an encryption mechanism for each Virtual machine.
It's a VMware environment and all the VM files go into NFS drives.
Do you think , Bitlocker will help ?
Is Bitlocker supported on Virtual machines ?
In my opinion , Bitlocker is to safeguard against any "physical" threat to a machine.
But I wanted a second opinion here.
Please help me.

VMs don't have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) available to store the Full Volume Encryption Key (FVEK) used for BitLocker, but you can still use Hyper-V by storing the necessary information on a floppy drive. Use the command line:
cscript c:\Windows\System32\manage-bde.wsf -on C: -rp -sk A:
BitLocker is now enabled within the VM.
