One of this issues I ran into with bouncing between VMware Player 6.0.3 and my VMware ESXi 5.5u1 server is the hardware level of the virtual machines. ESXi 5.5 without the vSphere licence will not manage the newer virtualHW.version = “10″ virtual machines.

I’ve been busy with remodeling and renovations at home and the beach house. Also getting ready for going to graduate school at the Georgia Institute of Technology OMSCS program and that has kind of kept me busy.

The ESXi work and other technical fun stuff has been put on hold for awhile until I can get my free time free again. That always seems to be the case.

I’ve got a couple of articles in the hopper that I have not had time to polish for release on integrating Active Directory & Kerberos on Ubuntu LTS 14.04 with Windows 2003/2008 servers and remote desktop access using a tool called Guacamole.

Some addition research into WP plugins have a couple more worth reviewing.

I’ve been back to the toolchain for ESXi again and had some success.

I was really getting frustrated with my lack of success in building the VMware ESXi 5.5 toolchain and compilers. It was a multi-week effort and I’m usually able to get something like that working eventually. I took a couple of month break from it while I worked on some other things including this website(WordPress) and my email servers. This gave me some perspective.
