I use ESX infrastructure and installed VM Tools on my VM.
When I used VM Workstation I could copy files and text between my computer to the VM that run on it.
Can I do the same when the VM placed on ESX server and not on my computer? (With VM Tools for example?)
Thanks!
Yes you can do it.
If you can't you need to check isolation properties of VM.

I have a Windows Server 2019 with the HyperV role installed, and I have a VM with a MSDOS 6.22 OS, and I want to send some files to the machine but I can't, I tried to make a shared folder but doesn't work with MSDOS. There is another way to send files to the guest machine?
Thank you
I am a newbie in UFT automation, and I am facing this scenario.
Scenario: I am accessing an application on a remote machine. And I am trying to automate this application. I have HP UFT installed on my local machine, not on the remote machine.
I want to know if it is possible to automate on the remote machine from my local machine? Could you please point me to some reliable articles so I can it up from there?
I have read articles about setting up DCOM settings and access rights along with some registry settings, but with all suggesting to have UFT installed on the remote machine.
Note: I cannot get UFT installed on the remote machine, as it is a third-party machine.
Thanks in advance.
Yes That is right.
You can't Execute your QTP script on Remote Computer if QTP is not installed in Remote Machine.
Cause When you will try to execute the Following line,
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application", "RemoteComputerName")
It won't happen. As To run QTP script you need to have QTP where your AUT is present.
If it's not QTPscript (Like Normal VbScript etc) then it's possible using WshController object.
But that's not your requirement though.

I am new to Hyper-V and Server Core but I am stumped as to how to install a guest OS from an ISO using only PowerShell.
I have downloaded the Hyper-V Server ISO and installed it on my server. It only installs Server Core and does not give me the option for a full GUI option. I configured its network settings, etc and all looks ok. So Server Core installed properly and Hyper-V feature is enabled. I can use PowerShell to create a VM with VHDX and link my Guest OS ISO to it. When I start the VM there is no console UI to install the OS.
How are you supposed to install a guest OS with no console interface to setup the OS?
Note, there is no option under this configuration to enable the OS GUI as some posts have suggested.
First, please don't confuse "Server Core" with "Hyper-V Server". "Server Core" is an installation mode of Windows. Among other things, it can be converted to GUI mode, which is why people keep telling you to just turn the GUI on. Hyper-V Server looks like Server Core but it is not Server Core.
For your actual problem, you're not going to find a simple out-of-the-box solution. You could work up a complete unattended installation process. You could set up a Windows Deployment Services server and have it install via PXE boot. I think some of the third-party Hyper-V management solutions allow you to connect to the console of a VM from within the local Hyper-V Server.
Hyper-V Server was designed with headless operation in mind. It was expected that you would use it to configure and perform maintenance on the management operating system and, if desired, the virtual machines as containers. The guest operating systems themselves were not really meant to be managed from within Hyper-V Server. What it's expected that you'll do is use a full GUI, whether another copy of Windows Server or a Windows desktop operating system running Remote Server Administration Tools to remotely connect to Hyper-V Server and manage its VMs.
I have my application(AUT) on a VM and the QTP is installed my local machine with Seat license. When I try to record QTP is not recognising anything in VM, including login. How to solve this problem and whats the script to connect to VM?
As far as I know, it is not possible to connect to an application running on a VM with QTP running on the local machine. In order to make this work, install QTP on the VM and run it purely inside the virtual machine.
Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)
