2 From a Windows command prompt on the View Composer computer, run the SviConfig
FindUnusedReplica command in the following form:
sviconfig -operation=findunusedreplica
-DsnName=name of the DSN
-Username=Database administrator username
-Password=Database administrator password
[-ReplicaFolder=Replica folder name]
[-UnusedReplicaFolder=Unused replica folder name.]
[-OutputDir=Output file directory]
[-Move=true or false]
For example:
sviconfig -operation=FindUnusedReplica -DsnName=SVI
-Username=SVIUser -Password=1234 -Move=True

vCenter Server.
Windows XP Linked Clones Fail to Join the Domain
Windows XP linked-clone virtual machines can fail to join the domain if your Active Directory runs on
Windows Server 2008.
Problem
When linked-clone machines are provisioned, the linked clones fail to join the domain. View Administrator
displays View Composer provisioning error messages. For example:
5/17/10 3:11:50 PM PDT: View Composer agent initialization state error (18): Failed to join the
domain (waited 565 seconds)
Cause
This issue can occur if your Active Directory runs on Windows Server 2008. The Windows Server 2008 read-
only domain controller (RODC) is not backward-compatible with Windows XP virtual machines.
Solution
1 Check the View Composer log for the following error message:
0x4f1: The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you
can contact the server that authenticated you.
By default, the View Composer log file is generated in the Windows Temp directory:
C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log
2 On the parent virtual machine, apply the Windows Server 2008 RODC compatibility update for
Windows XP.
See Microsoft Support Article 944043 at the following location:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944043/en-us.
3 Take a snapshot of the updated parent virtual machine.
4 Recompose the linked-clone machines from the updated parent virtual machine and snapshot.
