IT guru Rick Vanover outlines this advanced configuration area of Windows storage. For certain situations, it may be necessary to tell Windows not to automatically mount new storage that become visible to the server. This is most frequently used in systems where Microsoft Clustering Services MSCS are used, certain virtualization technologies such as VMware Consolidated Backup , or moving a disk from one operating system to another on a shared storage environment.
While you can't run MSCS on Standard editions of Windows Server and , you can enable this auto enumeration of the volumes as they arrive. For Enterprise or Datacenter editions, you can enable this feature by a reverse set of commands from the example.
To do this, you'll need to use the Windows diskpart command to disable automatic drive enumeration on a Windows Standard edition installation with the following commands:. Answered by:.

View all posts by Sergey Tkachenko. Greetings, thanks for this guide. I followed all the three options and see that they work perfectly when it comes to external HDD.
Though, I see that Win10 keeps on mounting pen drives. Is there some other step I can follow for this? You can go through and select entire hosts or just the virtual machines you woud like to backup 3. Sometimes you will get the above screenshot when adding virtual machines.
You can also proceed even if you do get this message. Now the Virtual Machines that you selected will be shown in the list. To continue, click on the "Next" button. This tells NetBackup to backup all of the virtual disks associated with the virtual machine, which would be required to restore the entire virtual machine. Using the VMware vStorage method of backups, you can perform "full" backups on the virtual machines as well as "Differential" or "Cumulative" backups.
For the different between the two, please see the section entitled Introduction to Symantec NetBackup 7 located at the beginning of this guide. Choose the type of incremental backups that you would like performed and select the "Next" button. Now choose both the frequency and retention for both the full and incremental backups. Now, choose the Start Window. This is a time based window that defines when your backups can start. As long as the backup started during the start window, they can continue to run outside of the window eg: if the backups take that long or if there was some kind of problem that delayed the backups from running.
