Virtual Machine SYMMPI Fix

Due to the amount of emails I receive on the subject, here’s my .vbs script to perform the Symmpi fix for Virtual Machines. This is recommended in VMware’s ESX and VI3 Best Practices. Use the vbs and apply via GPO, SMS Package or use it in a post-deployment script via Virtual Center.

Cheers.

Dim objShell
Dim strtimevalue, strsymmpi, strregloc
strsymmpi = “TimeOutValue” ‘ New Key
strtimevalue = “60”
strregloc = “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\” _
& “Services\Disk\”
Set objShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
objShell.RegWrite strregloc & strsymmpi, 1, “REG_DWORD”
objShell.RegWrite strregloc & strsymmpi, strtimevalue, “REG_DWORD”
WScript.Quit
