Error Linux Guest-File-Indexing

Post by ds2 »

Hello,

i have a very small Kubuntu 14.04 VM on Server 2012 R2 in Hyper-V.

When I test the credentials for Guest-File-Indexing I receive the error "Failed to get VM's IP addresses.".

The VM ist not added to ads.

What is my flaw?

Greetings

Hello Rene,
Do you have such utilities as mlocate, gzip and tar installed on the Linux VM?
Thanks!

I actually suspect VMware Tools issue, since this is where IP address gets obtained from.
Please include the support case ID for this issue, so we can track the resolution. Thanks!

Ehm, he said Hyper-V, so for sure VMware tools are missing :)

Then, whatever alternative is there on Microsoft side, I believe it is called Hyper-V Integration Components (for Windows guests) and Linux Integration Services Version 4.0 for Hyper-V (for Linux guests).

Moving the topic to the correct forum.
