I currently use VMware workstation to create separate workspaces for various clients that I do work for. So for a given client I only install software needed for a specific job, and don't have to worry about software A for client #1 mucking up software B for client #2. With an adequate sized hard drive this works well but I am not su...

This is a strange one... In a windows forms app (VB.NET/VS 2005) I have the need to occasionally check if the application DVD is inserted.

Hi, I am running VMware under windows on a dell d630 laptop. I am using the laptop monitor plus an external lcd, with the vmware maximized on an lcd and windows running on the laptop monitor.

I have noticed that our VMWare VMs often have the incorrect time on them. No matter how many times I reset the time they keep on desyncing. Has anyone else noticed this? What do other people do to keep their VM time in sync? Edit: These are CLI linux VMs btw.. ...
I need to impersonate myself as a domain user in a ASP.NET application running on VMWare machine. Since the VMWare machine is not itself in the domain, ASP.NET is unable to resolve the user token (specified in web.config). Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance, Petr ...
I'm having the problems described in KB937745 - very high CPU usage and the Application Log is reporting something like this: The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID SPID, which had been reset for connection pooling. I've downloaded the hotfixes and I can't run them - I suspect it is because SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ...

The title pretty much says it all, but for those of you who are familiar with both the latest VMWare Fusion and the "linked clone" feature found in VMWare workstation, can you confirm whether this feature is currently present or absent in Fusion? This could be considered an update of this previous question: http://stackoverflow.com/ques...

As we grow more and more dependent on virtual machines to run our autobuilds, web servers and backups we are considering consolidating virtual machines on a single physical machine. We are a Windows shop and would prefer to stay that way (at least in terms of our server architecture). If I wanted to host two virtual machines - one of w...

I am trying to find out which Hypervisor will allow me to grant access to specialized PCI cards (such as a telephony card) to a virtual machine. So far I have tried out VMWare ESXi server and it doesn't seem to allow me to do this. I have heard that Microsoft Virtual Server does allow this, but I haven't been able to find any supporting ...
The project I´m working on needs to auth its users against AD, and as a fallback check against its own user base. Now I need to test it outside the production environment. What is the best method to setup a Active Directory test environment? Currently I´m downloading a Windows 2003 Virtual PC image, and planning a VMWare virtual LAN. ...
I saw this similar question for Hyper-V, but I don't think any of the answers there apply directly. If they do, please point me at the right one, and I'll close this as a dupe. My question arises with using VMware's bridged networking - when I have X-many guests running in VMware Server, and I connect to my corporate VPN, none of the ho...
