5.5 is not supported, so you won't receive support regardless. If you need support from GSS, you can either upgrade this host (if compatible which is a task to validate in itself) or move its workloads to another, supported host. Alternatively, you can wait and see if someone here can decode your cryptic log messages for you.

Connect-Viserver Prompting For Creds w/ Credential Store Item
I created a new vi credential store item with "new-vicredentialstoreitem", the cred shows up with get-vicredentialstoreitem, but if I try and connect with connect-viserver -host vicredstorehost, it prompts for creds instead of passing the cred store item through.

Re: Correctly sending custom headers to Invoke a Rest Operation
I'm very new to vRO and having a similar problem. I am attempting to configure NetBOX and PowerDNS and both use a header/token authentication style.
Is it possible to populate a header_0/param_0 during the "Add rest host" operation? I was able to kludge a test to verify that adding the header/token would work and it did (invoke rest operation prompts for header text/token, and then I request.setHeader(). My problem is I can't see how to get those values into the rest host config so I can test for that type of authentication and then .setHeader().
I've been reading the rest api methods pdf (https://www.vmware.com/pdf/rest_plugin_10_users_guide.pdf ) to try and get some hints on where I might can add those values to be used during rest operations... tho I suspect that pdf is old as it seems to be missing some methods I've seen in current workflows. I can't seem to find a more current version.

Re: Horizon Version 5.0.0 not working on Mojave 10.14.5
I am running 10.14.5 on my MBP with the latest 5.0 client and it's ok.
What environment(s) are you connecting to? Corporate, lab etc?
There was a thread some time back similar and their upgrade wiped out their host file.

Re: Why are Thick provisioned disks showing as thin
vSAN doesn't apply thickness at the vmdk-primitive level, we apply it on the data-objects themselves by reserving the space allocated to the Objects ( and thus as André alluded to above there are caveats such as dedupe+compression not benefitting any space-savings for these Objects).
Thus if you are using scripts that are intended for VMFS (e.g. checking for ddb.thinProvisioned = "1" etc.) then this won't work.
There are multiple ways of achieving the same checks on vSAN - some examples include:
- Checking proportionalCapacity=100 via RVC (e.g. against vsan.vm_object_info <pathToVm> or vsan.object_info <pathToObject> )
- The above can also be checked against the data from # esxcli vsan debug object list
- Via cmmds-tool data looking at reserved space (though of course this is not intended for normal users e.g. all in bytes not GB so any scripts have to apply formulae).
Having a google of the multiple times I have talked about looking at 'thick' Objects on Communties previously might give more insight (sorry I can't linky link more - on mobile as on holiday).

Re: Horizon Version 5.0.0 not working on Mojave 10.14.5
Connecting to a corporate site, I tried working with them and they looked at it but ultimately told me is was my issue since it is on a personal device. My other macbook is 10.14.3 and works fine, it is just this one running 10.14.5 that is not working. I saw the thread about host file but do not know enough about what to look for to see if that is the issue. I have compared the host file on both macbooks and they are similar. The non-working one has a lot of extra stuff in the host file but again, not sure what should and should not be there.

Re: Mapping TCP Printers
I have a quick update. Mapping a printer this way, will leave the printer and port on the VM if no corrective action is taken to remove them. In addition printer added this way will become the default printer for next end user of VM printer was mapped on. I am exploring another option mentioned in this forum linked below, but it does not seem to be working with directly mapped TCP/IP printers, plus it captures all UEM mapped printer, and user mapped printer . For peace of mind I would recommend you add printer needed to a print server, as UEM support print queues natively.
I would recommend a task to unmap any printer added using this method if the printer is not needed by all your end users. Below you will find a script to unmap printer and port created by example script to map printer. You can place the script(s) on the UEM share, instead of using the UEM File & Folders feature. You can then reference the script(s) by the logon/logoff task feature of UEM. I created a folder Scripts under the UEM share General folder, and placed both scripts in the folder created.
Manage user personal settings network mapped printers through UEM
Unmap Printer Script
cscript "c:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnmngr.vbs" -d -p “BizPrinter”
cscript c:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnport.vbs -d -r IP_10.216.40.191

Re: RVC rebalance_info script with a custom variance parameter
No, as it is basing it on the current default parameters (there might be ways of altering the RVC scripts themselves but unless you are a 100% confident in what you are doing and potential implications I wouldn't advise this).
If you have plenty of available capacity (just to be super safe I would gist 60-70%) you could consider setting lower -v and start, check info then stop - it should mark as transient anything that has been allocated and then cancelled to move. Any large moves are going to be to disks with relatively large free space anyway so I can't see big risk in the above (but of course test in lower priority clusters first).

Re: Disable Delayed ack on all ESXi hosts in a cluster.
Sorry one last question. I was able to achieve updating the profile from reference host OK using this:
**************************************************************************
$Profile = Get-VMHostProfile
$Spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostProfileHostBasedConfigSpec
$Spec.Host = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
$Spec.Host = $Profile.ReferenceHost.ExtensionData.MoRef
$Spec.useHostProfileEngine = $true
$Profile.ExtensionData.UpdateHostProfile($Spec)
**************************************************************************
But is there a way to have only the changed setting to be overwritten?

Cloned VM and Windows Product Key
Hello,
We have Vsphere 6.7 and I cloned a VM, it was cloned successfully but Windows is not activated. I tried putting in the Product Key from the specification and also the Product ID listed on the VM but not taking them. Is there something I missed? I thought it'd generate new Product Key automatically as long as we have licenses.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Weird EVC mode - EVC (sandy) enabled yet VMs will not migrate across cluster (both sandy)
Surely - I am running ESXi 6.7 13644319 on all hosts in question. The message I get is: The target host does not support the virtual machine's current hardware requirements. Use a cluster with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) enabled to create a uniform set of CPU features across the cluster, or use per-VM EVC for a consistent set of CPU features for a virtual machine and allow the virtual machine to be moved to a host capable of supporting that set of CPU features. See KB article 1003212 for cluster EVC information. com.vmware.vim.vmfeature.cpuid.mdclear
But of course I do have EVC enabled on each cluster configured for Sandy Bridge. The super weird part is that two of the hosts have E5-2650 v2 CPUs and even though they're the same, with the same ESXi build and same EVC mode, it reports the message above.

Re: Weird EVC mode - EVC (sandy) enabled yet VMs will not migrate across cluster (both sandy)
I have seen this before, but problem was related to Spectre/Meltdown patch not present in some hosts which was running different build numbers, but in your case build numbers are the same. In that case, I would check the BIOS settings and firmware version if are the same across all three hosts.

VMware Player 6.0.7 仮想マシンが勝手に再起動する
Windows10 1809でVMware Player 6.0.7を使用しています。
仮想マシンのOSはWindows10 1511です。 仮想マシンではゲームを実行しているのですが、
６～１０時間ほど、起動しているとエラーや何の表示もなく仮想マシンが再起動されてしまいます。
色々調べてみましたが、情報が無く解決できない状況です。ゲストOSのWindows10のバージョンを上げたり
VMware Playerのバージョンを最新のものにしてみたり、VMware workstation pro 15、最新のVMware Tools
などでも試してみましたが、変わりませんでした。以前はゲストOSはWindows7を使用していましたが、
その時はそのようなことは一切ありませんでした。VMware Playerのバージョンが6.0.7の理由は、
最新と6.0.7ではCPU使用率の少なさが全然違うのと、ゲストOSの軽さが全然違うので
古いのを使っています。できれば、このまま古いものを使用したいです。
どなたか、解決法が分かる方は教えていただけないでしょうか。よろしくお願いします。
情報が不足の場合は、お聞きください。

Re: Cloned VM and Windows Product Key
You didn't miss anything. When a clone is made you will need to re-activate because the BIOS UUID is changed and Windows sees this (rightly) as a new VM. Depending on your product key, this may either not be allowed or other reasons.

And this didn't break any existing user profiles when you moved them? I'm at a similar place, but of my own making, as I accidentally created some of the personalization configs at the General level and I'd like to move them into subfolders. I have users in the environment though, and don't want to yank their configs out from under them.
