=== Disable Shutdown Event Tracker === | |||
If the ESX servers are running as a HA cluster then they MUST be able to fully startup automatically after a re-boot. The Windows OS Shutdown tracker asks why you're shutting down or rebooting a system, or following an unexpected shutdown, halts the starting of a system pending information from the user. Not a problem for servers where all applications run as a service, but would impede VMware HA operating effectively where (GUI) applications need to start by stopping systems being restarted fully. | |||
To disable... | |||
# Start Group Policy Object Editor (Start | Run | gpedit.msc) | |||
# Go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System | |||
# Set Display Shutdown Event Tracker to Disabled | |||
=== Set Low Risk File Types === | |||
If mapped drives are being used, .bat and .exe files need to be declared as low risk file types to stop Open file - Security Warning prompts being displayed when trying to run from mapped drives. This is particularly a problem if software is set to auto-start by placing shortcuts in the StartUp directory, as the software won't auto start. | |||
To disable... | |||
# Start Group Policy Object Editor (Start | Run | gpedit.msc) | |||
# Go to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Attachment Manager | |||
# Set the "Default risk level for file types" to Enabled | |||
# Specify the low extensions as <code> .bat;.exe </code> | |||
