FANTASTIC! I've been banging my head against the wall for the last few hours - your post has saved me so much time and effort.

Comment on vSphere convert VM IDE disk to SCSI disk by James Clements

Hi Craig,

The only other time I have seen the issue you are having is when a snapshot does still exist but cannot be seen in the VI client. It could be worth checking your datastore for the existence of a snapshot for the VM. I saw this a few times in ESX 3.5 but havent seen it in vSphere yet.

@James Clements Hi, Should have mentioned, there are no snapshots on this server.

Hi Craig,

You cannot resize a disk if it has snapshots. These must be deleted (committed) before you can adjust the size of a vmdk.

Hmm,

I have a similiar issue (vi client edit disk size greyed out); but the controller is already a scsi. I can resize other machines no problem - and they're all configured the same.

Dear JJ,
I have Windows 7 op system now.I managed to follow all the instructions to the point of selecting the Network Adaptor, using UPGRADE WIZARD. The 2 items showing are ATHEROS AR9285 802.11 b/g/n Wi Fi Adapter or REALTEK P CLE GBE FAMILY CONTROLLER. I don't know which I should choose as both don't look like the right option to me.
I get the same message after choosing either of them; COULD NOT GET SYSTEM INFORMATION CORRECTLY. PLEASE EXIT UPGRAGE UTILITY AND EXECUTE Rm.Drv.exe, WHICH LOCATED IN THE SAME DIRECTORY WITH UPGRADE UTILITY, THEN RUN UPGRAGE UTILITY AGAIN.
I cannot get further than this point. Any suggestions on how to go further?
Thanks very much.
kind regards,
Onnwah

Comment on Delete files older than certain number of days by James Clements

Hi cici. I have just looked and tested what the command that you used above and the syntax is correct. It actually works fine for me! I wonder if there is a problem with the '@' symbol if you have copied/pasted the command? (I have seen issues where the character set appears different when pasting into the command prompt - especially with things like quotes e.t.c)

I assume you have tried typing it all out as well?

I am running this on WinServ 2003, but I keep getting this error:
ERROR: Invalid argument/option - '/q'.
Type "FORFILES /?" for usage.

If I take out the /q, then I'll get
ERROR: Invalid argument/option - '@path'.

I don't see anything wrong with my command. Any idea?

Here's my command:
forfiles.exe /p c:\data\log\ /s /m *.* /d -365 /c "cmd /c del /q @path"

Thanks in advance
