Here are the detailed solutions for each of the four scenarios related to VMware administration tasks in Xceed company. I've provided step-by-step actions you can take inside vSphere or ESXi environments, including what to include if you're required to **upload a supported file** (like screenshots or logs). At the end, I’ll let you know what kind of file you can prepare and upload for each scenario if necessary.

### **1. Unregister and Re-register VM in vSphere**
#### **Steps:**
1. **Unregister VM:**
* Log in to vSphere Web Client.
* Locate the VM in the inventory that needs to be unregistered.
* Right-click the VM → **Remove from Inventory** (This doesn't delete the VM files).
2. **Re-register VM:**
* Go to the datastore where the VM files are located.
* Browse the datastore → locate the `.vmx` file of the unregistered VM.
* Right-click the `.vmx` file → **Register VM**.
* Assign to the desired host/resource pool and complete.
#### **File to upload (optional):**
* Screenshot of `.vmx` file being registered via datastore browser.

### **2. Preserve User Desktop Files on Windows 10 VM After Snapshot Revert**
#### **Steps:**
1. **Log in to VM** as Administrator or Rakesh.
2. **Backup Desktop files:**
* Copy files from `C:\Users\Rakesh\Desktop` to another partition (like `D:\Backup\`) or to a network drive.
3. **Take Current Snapshot (optional safety net).**
4. **Revert to the required snapshot**:
* In vSphere → Right-click VM → Snapshot → Revert to Snapshot.
5. **Restore Files:**
* Copy the backed-up files back to `Desktop`.
6. **Ensure VM is powered ON:**
* After reverting, check the power status → Power ON if needed.
#### **File to upload (optional):**
* Screenshot of file backup/restore or snapshot revert confirmation.
---
### **3. Increase CPU on Windows VM While Powered ON (Hot Add CPU)**
#### **Problem:**
vSphere blocks CPU increase during power-on if **Hot Add** is not enabled.
#### **Solution:**
1. **Enable CPU Hot Add:**
* Power off the VM.
* Right-click → Edit Settings → Options tab → Advanced → **Enable CPU Hot Add**.
* Power ON the VM again.
2. **Now Increase CPU While VM is Powered ON:**
* Right-click VM → Edit Settings → Increase the CPU count.
3. **Verify inside Windows:**
* Login to VM → Task Manager → Performance tab → CPU → Confirm increased CPU count.
#### **File to upload (optional):**
* Screenshot of VM settings showing CPU hot add enabled, or confirmation from Task Manager.
---
### **4. Convert TinyLinux VM to Template and Deploy Two VMs**
#### **Steps:**
1. **Convert TinyLinux to Template:**
* Right-click the TinyLinux VM → **Template** → **Convert to Template**.
2. **Deploy New VMs from Template:**
* Right-click Template → **New VM from this Template**.
* Name it **TinyLinux50** → Select host, datastore, etc.
* Repeat and name the second as **TinyLinux60**.
3. **Power ON both new VMs** and verify deployment.
#### **File to upload (optional):**
* Screenshot of template creation and VM deployment summary.
