I had a problem with my iPod Mini whereby it froze whilst playing a podcast.
To restart I held down the Menu button on the clickwheel and the centre button at the same time for around 10 seconds until the iPod mini restarts. Fingers crossed the screen changes and the Apple logo appears.
Rather than adding via Explore All Users Windows 2008 is a little more tricky. To add any file so that it is available to any profile user on their desktop simply navigate to C:\Users\Public. Public Desktop is hidden by default so either change the permissions on the folder or simply click in the folder drop down menu and type Public Desktop or just Desktop and hit Enter. The folder becomes accessible and you can drop files and folders into it to be accessed by all users.
I found this issue after installing the SNMP services as a feature. Easy resolution – simply reboot the server and the tabs appear!
I accidently disabled the VMware Tools Tray icon on a VM and subsequently couldn’t find a way to re-enable it
Found that I was receiving this error despite following the http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=300956 knowledge base article.
I found that an additional step was needed which was to add the service account that runs the NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) service on your remote server into the local administrators group on the server that you wish to monitor.
I had this problem recently when trying to create a reference image for MDT and despite having the correct storage drivers kept receiving the error that no storage adapters were available.
After much searching I found the solution to be quite simple:
Enter the Bios (press F10) an then go to Storage>Storage Options>SATA Emulation Change the option from AHCI to IDE. Save changes and you should now be able to install Windows XP
I received the error when trying to deploy an image to a new range of desktop/PC’s and spent a long time diagnosing where the actual problem lay. Initially I started off editing the bootstrap.ini and adding an IP address for my deployment server as I sensed it could be a DNS issue.
After further reading I eventually came across this forum http://boardreader.com/thread/A_connection_to_the_deploymentshare_coul_569br__9cf9208e-7218-441d-a632-9a120abe2e7d.html and realised that I needed to add the network drivers for the new desktop/PC’s into the Out of Box Drivers in MDT. Worked immediately afterwards.
Had an issue moving a Windows 2008 x64 R2 Server and constantly recived the error unable to determine guest operating system.
Found this excellent solution here http://wiert.me/2010/06/10/vmware-converter-4-01-unable-to-obtain-hardware-information-or-unable-to-determine-guest-operating-system/
Was able to change the guest operating system to just Windows 2008 and was then able to convert. Then I was able to change the guest OS back to R2 x64 after the conversion.
