I can see snapshot files in the VM folder - the .vmdk files numbered 000001.vmdk and 000002.vmdk
Delete any VM snapshots (if you don't need them) in the Workstation UI.

Re: VSAN disk group failure "Propagated permanent disk failure in disk group"
Its not uncommon to see a difference between what you're seeing with OOB management and what vSAN sees. vSAN can judge a disk to be failing if a disks metrics fall outside of its own specific requirements which may be stricter than a hardware vendors.
I would raise a support request with your hardware vendor and explain you're using the disks for vSAN and that theyre starting to report as failed

Re: What does installerDefaults.componentDownloadEnabled do?
I believe its for automatic download of component updates to Workstation Pro. If you set it to no, it just wont download updates. You have similar options in there such as
installerDefaults.autoSoftwareUpdateEnabled
installerDefaults.dataCollectionEnabled

Assuming you're talking about your Win10Pro Desktop freezing, i would check both Windows Event logs & the Workstation pro logs in the first instance. You can find WS Pro in the below location:

Migrating connection server 7.7.0-11038474 from a Windows 2012 server to a Windows 2016 server ending up with the same name and IP.
Hello.
We would like to migrate our Horizon View servers from Windows 2012 servers to Windows 2016 servers ending up with the same names and IPs. Temporary IPs and servernames are ok.
We have two Connection Servers, one Security Server and one Composer Server. All running 7.7.0-11038474 on Windows 2012.
I read here that: Supported Operating Systems for View Connection Server that Windows 2016 is not listed as supported but I suspect is to be supported so as we have one 2016 that works as a Connection server.
I read here that: Upgrade to the Latest Version of View Connection Server on a Different Machine that apparently we end up with new servernames and IPs.
So how should I proceed?

Re: Networking Suggestions?
Hi,
If you use route based IP hash, you will configure the physical switches. During a possible problem, your troubleshooting can be difficult.
The physical uplink bandwidth is very high, if you do not do something like streaming, I recommend you to continue with the "routed based virtual port" option.
If it was me;
Management and vMotion = vSwitch 0
Virtual machine network = vSwitch 1

Re: Root Password Not Recognized, Even After Change
Hi,
You may have locked the account because you entered the password for ESXi 6.5 incorrectly. In this case, you can access the shell and run the following command.
pam_tally2 --user root --reset
After running this command, try logging in again.
It may also be trying to be a 3rd party product login to ESXi. Or, if the ESXi is open to the external network, brute force may be attempted. You need to check this out.

Also, Ivanti and Appvolumes is not the best of all combinations.. I have heard of quite some issues getting those to work nicely together.

Re: vCACCAFEResourceElement -> Destroy
Hmm, interresting. A service account sounds like the right direction for me.. Thou, I guess I miss some very basic knowledge about the vRA/vRo - I am not sure if the lack relates to access and entitlements or my vRO code... Most likely both
I already have a service account, which has been assigned all roles in Custom Groups in vRA. (The tab Entitled Items is still empty, and I am not sure from where this is populated / assigned...).
The service account is listed as Group Manager under the BG configuration.
In my new vRO code, I connect to the host with getHostWithCredentials
var vCACCAFEHost = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getHost("ggfd890g-754c-4884-9420-gfd7g987gfd");
vCACCAFEHost = vCACCAFEHost.getHostWithCredentials(vCACCAFEHostUser,vCACCAFEHostPassword);
System.log("vCACCAFEHost: " + vCACCAFEHost);
System.log("");
My output confirms that I am connected with the service account...
If I list the actions on my deployment, I only see what I have assigned via Catalog Management in vRA. Fair.
No Destroy, as it is not assigned to the BG entitlements
And here it breaks for me..
How does my service account get access to the Destroy action, when not available in the BG Entitlement, thou the same user has all possible rules assigned in Group Management?
What am I missing - - other then the basics..
I guess my service account somehow and somewhere needs to have some entitlements assigned which are not with the BG entitlements..?

Quickprep has wrong time zone
I have 2 Windows 10 gold images for 2 different pools that have had the timezone set to GMT and it shows correctly in these. When I use these images to create Linked clone pools using quickprep the timezone is changing to -7 Mountain Time. How can I prevent this happening, or set the correct time zone? I know it can be done with sysprep but is is possible to set a timezone using quickprep?
