![]() To my surprise I see Outlook making all these connections for the next few minutes. ![]() What’s with Outlook connecting to these various IPs? I flip over to Process Explorer, open the Properties of the running Outlook process, & select the TCP/IP tab. Nothing is really jumping out at me until I open Network Summary. In a case like this where I’m not really sure what’s going on I go through each of the utilities on the Tools menu. I set the filter to only show Outlook.exe. After the appointment opens I stop the capture. I run Process Monitor & open the ICS file again to get a capture. I double clicked the ICS file & same thing. I closed the calendar item then clicked the link again only this time I saved it to my desktop. I clicked the link to open the ICS file & Outlook 2010 (which was already open) hung for about 3 minutes then finally displayed the appointment. As is typical when registering for a webinar I was provided the option to download an ICS file to save to my Outlook calendar. This time when the nested VM boots it POPS!Īccording to Avast’s website, the software is supposed to detect that virtualization applications like VMware Workstation or Microsoft Hyper-V are installed & automatically disable these settings.įrom my home network I signed up to watch a webinar. I uncheck both of those settings & give the laptop a reboot. “Enable hardware-assisted virtualization” & “Use nested virtualization where available”. After clicking around for a bit I come across some very interesting settings. This wouldn’t be the first time an Anti-Virus product interfered with an application working properly so I started digging through the AV interface. In all the sifting & sorting one thing that kept jumping out was the Anti-Virus software. Honestly, I just go through each of them & see if something jumps out at me. ![]() The first thing I always do is use the analysis tools from the menu. If you’ve ever used ProcMon you know it’s more of an art than a science. After it runs for about a minute the fun task of sifting through the ProcMon log begins. So with Process Monitor running on the laptop I power on the VM again. When the VMware logo on the POST screen finally appeared I could see the screen painting making it look like an 80’s arcade game.Īs you can see that took way too long. Watching the console of the nested VM I notice it seemed…slow. The configuration was simple enough the latest version of VMware Workstation, an ESXi host VM, & a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM nested in ESXi. That’s what I was thinking when deploying nested virtual machines on vSphere 6.5 in my lab (OK, it’s my laptop). ![]()
