How to reset the root password of VMware ESXi 4.1 Embedded edition

2012-01-30T08:21:00.001+08:00

I would like to take this chance to say Thank you to Bernhard Bock (bernhard's blog - http://www.bock.nu/blog) to posting this solution to us.

I just modify little bit to fit for "VMware Embedded edition"

The tools is GRML (grml.org) - Debian-based Live CD made for system administrators and users who prefer text tools.

The following steps which is I did for reset password:

The solution at the following: (Only apply for DELL VMware Embedded edition, for the standard/Installer edition, we need to change the local.tgz which is containing by states.tgz)

First of all, we need to boot your ESXi server with a "GRML"
mount /mnt/Hypervisor1
cd /tmp
tar xzf /mnt/Hypervisor1/local.tgz
vi etc/shadow (Remove remove the hash altogether (everything between the first and the second colon))
mv /mnt/Hypervisor1/local.tgz /mnt/Hypervisor1/local.tgz.bak
tar czf local.tgz etc
mv local.tgz /mnt/Hypervisor1/

Since there are two "volume" of Hypervisor, we need to repeat those step at Hypervisor2

mount /mnt/Hypervisor2
cd /tmp
tar xzf /mnt/Hypervisor2/local.tgz
vi etc/shadow (Remove remove the hash altogether (everything between the first and the second colon))
mv /mnt/Hypervisor2/local.tgz /mnt/Hypervisor2/local.tgz.bak
tar czf local.tgz etc
mv local.tgz /mnt/Hypervisor2/

If your Hyper-V remote management is in a workgroup environment and it work well. But one day, you receive a error message “Hyper-v rpc server unavailable” when you try to use a Server Manager to remote access it.

When you try to install a 32bits printer driver to the additional driver of a 64bits Windows Server 2008/R2. You got the following errors:

The specified location does not contain the driver for the requested processor architecture

Solution:
Install the same type of the 32bits and 64bits driver of the printer.

e.g. You need to install a HP LaserJet 5200 on a 64bits Windows Server 2008/R2
You need to download the same type of the 32bits and 64bits.

If you want to install the PCL6, you need to install the following two drivers.
HP LaserJet 5200 PCL 6 Driver and HP LaserJet 5200 PCL6 64-bit Driver
Both of the printer drivers (32bits and 64bits) are PCL6.

PowerPoint 2010 Error - Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll

The fault module ntdll.dll error related to Office applications may occur due to several reasons, among which the most common ones are listed below:

1. A faulty add-in enabled for Office applications:
You may use application safe for each Office application to open for example open Run (press Windows key + R), type winword /safe, excel /safe for Word and Excel respectively. If it works fine, disable the add-ins using File > Options > Add-ins for each applications

2. Incompatible printer driver:
Change the default computer printer to XPS Document Writer using Control Panel and verify the status.

3. Security software installed on the computer conflicting with Office applications:
Enable Clean-boot then try to use Office application to find if any Non-Microsoft software is causing the issue.
Note: enable Normal Start-up after troubleshooting.

4. Corrupt Windows User Profile:
Create a new user profile and check if it prevents Office application crash.

2. Go to command prompt
3. cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
4. regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx

A program cannot set default issue to open in Win7 (File Association)

2012-01-16T07:44:00.001+08:00

It is because this software pointing to isn't registered correctly. (Since in Windows 7 all 32bits software will be in "Program Files (x86)", instead of "Program Files")

The solution is change the follow registry in "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\ABC.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Innov\\ABC.exe\" \"%1\""

And then go through the "regular" process to associate a program with an extension.

Oracle Forms 6i in Windows of 64 bits (Solution)

Problem: When using a L2000 on Windows 64bits environment, it cannot preview/print a report

The issue occurs between the splwow64 thunking spooler and the rwrbe60 process. The rwrbe60 process uses print drivers (of you default printer) to generate the report. The splwow64 thunker spooler translates 64bit printer drivers to 32bit application. For what ever reason, this system does not work correctly. It just goes off into la la land.
