Inject drivers in ESXi iso

 


ESXi no longer supports Realtek Network drivers nor are they included on the installation ISO.  However, if you want to install ESXi with the Realtek drivers, then users will have to create a custom ISO. Keep in mind these drivers are NOT supported by VMware and should be used at your own risk.  Normally, I would use my trusty ESXi-Customizer GUI program but it is no longer supported for ESXi 6.  In replacement they offer a CLI supported program. However, instead of learning another 3rd party tool I’d rather rely on the VMware tools provided to me.

Print Job Stuck in Queue on Windows Server 2016/2012R2/2008R2

Print servers running Windows Server can have a large number of network printers connected. With a large number of devices, the Windows print queue may freeze so that removing the print job from the queue or “soft” cleaning the entire print queue from the “Print Management > Printers > Open Print Queue > Cancel all documents” console doesn’t help. The print and documents stuck in the queue interfere with sending new files for printing. In this case, the server may experience high CPU utilization up to 100%.
