The un-official VMware Reddit. Everything virtual.

Have a technical question? Just make a self post!

Conduct Guidelines

Discussion of piracy methods will not be permitted. Expect posts facilitating or promoting piracy to be removed. This includes discussion of 'unlocker' or other methods used to violate the Mac OS EULA by running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware. Support requests involving Mac OS on unsupported hardware (not a Mac) or software (VMware Workstation or VMware Player) will be removed, and will result in a ban. We have zero tolerance on this rule.
Keep post submissions relevant to VMware. Off-topic posts may be locked or removed.
Spammers will be banned; this sub will not become a marketing cesspit for vendors. Don't submit links to blogspam or other low-quality content. Repeatedly submitting links to the same blog/YouTube channel/etc. within a short period of time will be considered spam. Brazen marketing material is also generally unwelcome.
Want to promote something within the community? Message the mods first with your proposal, and we'll decide if it's too spammy or not.
Don't be a jerk. Vulgarity and hostility towards other users will not be tolerated.
Don't post brain dumps for certification exams.

Guidelines for Technical Help

Posts that fail to meet these guidelines may be locked or removed:

This is a VMware-oriented community. While discussion of virtualization concepts in general is appropriate, requesting technical help for non-VMware products is off-topic.
When asking for technical support, please specify the specific VMware product(s) and version(s) you are working with.
When asking for assistance or advice, please give the community sufficient information to work with. Specify your problems/needs, technical requirements, and objectives clearly.

The VMware logo icon following a username indicates that this user is a VMware employee.

If you are an employee, please PM one of the moderators that has a VMware logo for verification instructions and we will add it to yours as well!

Certification Flair:

To get flair with your certification level send a picture of your certificate with your Reddit username in the picture to the moderators.

Spam Filter:

The spam filter can get a bit ahead of itself. If you make a post and then can't find it, it might have been snatched away. Please message the moderators and we'll pull it back in.
