1 + 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.

5 + ### **1. Unregister and Re-register VM in vSphere**
6 +
7 + #### **Steps:**
8 +
9 + 1. **Unregister VM:**
10 +
11 + * Log in to vSphere Web Client.
12 + * Locate the VM in the inventory that needs to be unregistered.
13 + * Right-click the VM → **Remove from Inventory** (This doesn't delete the VM files).
14 + 2. **Re-register VM:**
15 +
16 + * Go to the datastore where the VM files are located.
17 + * Browse the datastore → locate the `.vmx` file of the unregistered VM.
18 + * Right-click the `.vmx` file → **Register VM**.
19 + * Assign to the desired host/resource pool and complete.
20 +
21 + #### **File to upload (optional):**
22 +
23 + * Screenshot of `.vmx` file being registered via datastore browser.

27 + ### **2. Preserve User Desktop Files on Windows 10 VM After Snapshot Revert**
28 +
29 + #### **Steps:**
30 +
31 + 1. **Log in to VM** as Administrator or Rakesh.
32 +
33 + 2. **Backup Desktop files:**
34 +
35 + * Copy files from `C:\Users\Rakesh\Desktop` to another partition (like `D:\Backup\`) or to a network drive.
36 +
37 + 3. **Take Current Snapshot (optional safety net).**
38 +
39 + 4. **Revert to the required snapshot**:
40 +
41 + * In vSphere → Right-click VM → Snapshot → Revert to Snapshot.
42 +
43 + 5. **Restore Files:**
44 +
45 + * Copy the backed-up files back to `Desktop`.
46 +
47 + 6. **Ensure VM is powered ON:**
48 +
49 + * After reverting, check the power status → Power ON if needed.
50 +
51 + #### **File to upload (optional):**
52 +
53 + * Screenshot of file backup/restore or snapshot revert confirmation.

57 + ### **3. Increase CPU on Windows VM While Powered ON (Hot Add CPU)**
58 +
59 + #### **Problem:**
60 +
61 + vSphere blocks CPU increase during power-on if **Hot Add** is not enabled.
62 +
63 + #### **Solution:**
64 +
65 + 1. **Enable CPU Hot Add:**
66 +
67 + * Power off the VM.
68 + * Right-click → Edit Settings → Options tab → Advanced → **Enable CPU Hot Add**.
69 + * Power ON the VM again.
70 +
71 + 2. **Now Increase CPU While VM is Powered ON:**
72 +
73 + * Right-click VM → Edit Settings → Increase the CPU count.
74 +
75 + 3. **Verify inside Windows:**
76 +
77 + * Login to VM → Task Manager → Performance tab → CPU → Confirm increased CPU count.
78 +
79 + #### **File to upload (optional):**
80 +
81 + * Screenshot of VM settings showing CPU hot add enabled, or confirmation from Task Manager.
82 +

84 +
85 + ### **4. Convert TinyLinux VM to Template and Deploy Two VMs**
86 +
87 + #### **Steps:**
88 +
89 + 1. **Convert TinyLinux to Template:**
90 +
91 + * Right-click the TinyLinux VM → **Template** → **Convert to Template**.
92 +
93 + 2. **Deploy New VMs from Template:**
94 +
95 + * Right-click Template → **New VM from this Template**.
96 + * Name it **TinyLinux50** → Select host, datastore, etc.
97 + * Repeat and name the second as **TinyLinux60**.
98 +
99 + 3. **Power ON both new VMs** and verify deployment.
100 +
101 + #### **File to upload (optional):**
102 +
103 + * Screenshot of template creation and VM deployment summary.
104 +
105 + ---
106 +
107 + If you’d like, I can **generate sample screenshots or upload logs** for one or more tasks. Let me know which one you want to prepare the supported file for.
