I got two exactly same hardware, installed same ESXi version. Somehow cloning from  other ESXi to one server was working, but another one always failed at 33%. It only impacts to existing VM cloning but not impact to new created virtual  machines. I spent lot time on the troubleshooting. We replaced cables, switch ports, reinstalled ESXi. There was no  abnormal logs except following: 2017-11-15T05:47:36.023Z [FFF001A0 verbose 'NfcManager' opID=F39DF7E6-00002211-da-c-bf] [NfcClient] Closing NFC connection to server 2017-11-15T05:47:36.023Z [FFF001A0 warning 'Libs' opID=F39DF7E6-00002211-da-c-bf] SSL: Unknown SSL Error 2017-11-15T05:47:36.023Z [FFF001A0 info 'Libs' opID=F39DF7E6-00002211-da-c-bf] SSL Error: error:1409E10F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_BYTES:bad length VMware support eventually provided me following KB to workaround the problem.

I searched internet but hard to find an easy way to get used space on Windows Server. Following is two lines PowerShell command to get used space on  Windows 2012 R2 Server.

早上Vinny醒来后不知怎么了大哭着要妈妈，不让奶奶和我接近他。看到他满脸是泪和鼻涕，拿了张纸去给他擦，结果这小子又踢又蹬十分剧烈的反抗。当时没忍住一下盛怒，大声地训斥Vinny并让他闭嘴不准哭。小家伙一下子很害怕的忍住不哭，但是表情又很憋屈的样子，能看得出来他心里一定十分的愤怒、伤心、害怕。忽然意识到如果我这样用威严和大声的训斥他来压制他，可能会导致他的个性变得非常容易屈从于权威。如果以后老师也这么对待他，他可能都不敢回来给家长投诉。 赶紧跑出去叫他奶奶进来安慰他，心里一下又紧张着急的不行，因为确实把他吓得不轻。不停的抽涕，但又不敢哭。以后真不应该这样了，作为父亲，我希望我和他的关系更亲近，而不是疏离。要不停的告诉自己要有耐心...今天是我做的不对，我并没有告诉他为什么我那么生气，而只是训斥他。以后要多一些耐心，对其他人也一样。
