Re: Applications-via a shared folder or copy to virtual machine
Not sure what your intent is here. A Windows virtual machine can't run a Mac application, and vice-versa.
A virtual machine is a completely separate computer. If it doesn't have an application installed on it, it can't run it.

Stretching VMRC window resizing VM desktop size...
Hi,
We have a bunch of Server 2012R2 VMs. All of them but one have static VMRC window sizes; if we try to stretch to resize the remote console windows they immediately afterwards revert to each VMs own screen resolution. However with one of them (exactly the same OS and settings) we can resize the remote console window to any convenient size and it automatically resizes the VM's desktop size and keeps this (usually larger) size to the end of the session.
I have been checking many settings but haven't been able to force the same behavior to the rest of my 2012R2 VMs.
What am I missing?
Thanks a lot for help on this..
best regards Tor

Re: Guest freezes when cycling multiple monitors
Not sure how this is done in other versions of VMWare, but in Workstation Pro 15 I went to VM -> Manage -> Change Hardware Compatibility and upgraded to the latest available version (did the clone option). Everything appears to be working great now, and seems faster as well!

Re: Applications-via a shared folder or copy to virtual machine
This is about an Apple host and an Apple virtual. The upcoming Apple OS X will not run 32 bit apps. So, I need to run those in an older OS. Hence, in a virtual older Apple OS. Do I copy them to the virtual or just keep working with them in a shared folder on the new OS. Which is more effective?
Thanks for the reply and the help.

Trying to get a PowerCLI script to run on multiple vCenters at once
Hello,
I'm not working on a script that can assign permissions to a folder that's specified by a user. The current script assumes the user knows which vCenter the folder is in (It is randomly assigned based on current work load and other things). That script is this:
$viserver = Read-Host "Enter the vCenter to connect to"
Connect-VIServer -Server $viserver
while($true){
$endAnswer = '1'
while($endAnswer -ne 'Q'){
if($endAnswer -eq '1'){
$dc = Get-Datacenter | Select -ExpandProperty Name
if($dc.count -gt 1){
$dc = $dc | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single -Title 'Select one datacenter'
}
$endAnswer = '2'
}
if($endAnswer -eq '2'){
$podnumber = Read-Host = "Enter the pod number"
if($podnumber.count -eq 1){
$folder = Get-Folder -Name Myfolder-$podnumber
}
$endAnswer = '3'
}
if($endAnswer -eq '3'){
$usertoadd = Read-Host = "Enter the username in domain\user format to add to the folder"
}
New-VIPermission -Entity $folder -Principal $usertoadd -Role VirtualMachineUser -Propagate:$true
write-host "Please select an option"
Write-Host "1 - Go back to the datacenter selection"
Write-Host "2 - Go back to the folder selection"
Write-Host "3 - Go back to the user selection"
Write-Host "Q - Exit the script"
$endAnswer = ''
while('1','2','3','Q' -notcontains $endAnswer){
$endAnswer = (Read-Host -Prompt 'Your answer').ToUpper()
}
}
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $viserver -Confirm:$false
Write-Host "Disconnecting from vCenter and exiting script"
Write-Host "Insert catchy quote here."
break
}
However I want to make it where the user just enters their domain creds that should work on either vCenter and allow them to perform the same steps. I was looking at what someone else had for something different, but no luck. Here's what I have for that:
param
(
$viservers = 'vcenter1.domain, vcenter2.domain'
)
$creds = Get-Credential
$viservers = ($viservers.Replace(' ','')).Split(',')
ForEach( $server in $viservers) {
$vSphereConns+= Connect-VIServer -Server $server -Credential $creds
}
while($true){
$endAnswer = '1'
while($endAnswer -ne 'Q'){
<#if($endAnswer -eq '1'){
$dc = Get-Datacenter | Select -ExpandProperty Name
if($dc.count -gt 1){
$dc = $dc | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single -Title 'Select one datacenter'
}
$endAnswer = '2'
}#>
if($endAnswer -eq '1'){
$podnumber = Read-Host = "Enter the pod number"
if($podnumber.count -eq 1){
$folder = Get-Folder -Name Myfolder-$podnumber
}
$endAnswer = '2'
}
if($endAnswer -eq '2'){
$usertoadd = Read-Host = "Enter the username in domain\user format to add to the folder"
}
New-VIPermission -Entity $folder -Principal $usertoadd -Role VirtualMachineUser -Propagate:$true
write-host "Please select an option"
Write-Host "1 - Go back to the datacenter selection"
Write-Host "2 - Go back to the folder selection"
#Write-Host "3 - Go back to the user selection"
Write-Host "Q - Exit the script"
$endAnswer = ''
while('1','2','Q' -notcontains $endAnswer){
$endAnswer = (Read-Host -Prompt 'Your answer').ToUpper()
}
}
ForEach( $conn in $vSphereConns) {
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $conn -Confirm:$false
}
Write-Host "Disconnecting from vCenter and exiting script"
Write-Host "Insert catchy quote here."
break
}
So an important thing is that the datacenters are setup the same on each vCenter. Each has a management datacenter and one that's for all the rest of the stuff I'm trying to access. I'm going to assume I need to remove the part where I select the datacenter or at least change it to somehow look at the specific datacenter on both vCenters. I'm stuck here and not quite sure what to look at in my search that will solve my problem.

Desktop Pool Stuck on Customizing
I have an automated floating desktop pool of linked clones setup. The VMs all provision correctly. Horizon 7.9.
When I domain join the master image and spin off the desktops, none of the desktops can access the domain and the machine states all stay at "customizing". It takes a long time, but I can eventually login with my domain credentials, but Horizon is stuck on the "customizing" state.
If I do not domain join the master image, the desktops all generate and horizon eventually connects to them (temporarily), but none of the domain credentials work. If I login as the local administrator, the network is effectively dead. I cannot ping out or contact any other computer.
The account loaded into Horizon to add/remove computers from the domain is the same account that joined the servers running the infrastructure (SQL server, Composer, Connection server).

Re: VM became extremely slow after upgraded to macOS 10.14.6 [Workaround Released]
And it looks like we might have just gotten a fix:

Indeed they did!
I have a confirmation from Apple that "very large files" specifically refers to this issue.

You don't need to install the license again as existing license will work for 6.7 ersion.

Re: Trying to get a PowerCLI script to run on multiple vCenters at once
Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean with "... enters their domain creds that should work on either vCenter and allow them to perform the same steps. "
Do you mean that the user should be able to connect to the correct vCenter, based on his domain credentials?
How would you solve that for the password for the vCenter?
Afaik, there is no way to retrieve the user's password from the domain, and then use that for the vCenter connection.

Re: Trying to get a PowerCLI script to run on multiple vCenters at once
So our vCenters are on a domain and use domain authentication for our users. Whatever rights you have in one with your domain account you should have the exact same in another. So if a user runs this script and enters their domain creds, they should only have to enter them once and those creds should authenticate against both vCenters. From that point when they run the script and say look for a folder called '100' it should be able to search both vCenters for that specific folder and then do the rest of the script as needed.

Re: VM became extremely slow after upgraded to macOS 10.14.6 [Workaround Released]
Thanks for the confirmation ksc. Great to see Apple respond relatively quickly to this issue (and thanks again to VMWare).
I've installed the supplemental update and rolled Fusion back to 11.1 - all good on my iMac (but didn't hit the perf issues due to 40GB of RAM). I assume going back to 11.1 is the best option for the moment to remove the workaround?

Get user logon/logoff history
I saw this thread and didn't want to hijack it, especially since it's a couple years old: Get logon history
I tried running the commands listed, but when I do it just sits there for me (obviously changing server for my environment). I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, but the main idea is that we get an idea of when the user last logged in, their access and their permissions. I was hoping this would work for at least the logon part, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
