I have ESXi 4.1 on my Dell Poweredge r710 Host.
I have created a VM for Windows Small Business Server 2008 (x64). As this was not a selectable OS on creating the VM, I just selected Windows Server 2008 Standard (x64).
I installed the OS and am configuring it, but Explorer.exe KEEPS crashing and locking the VM.
I can occasionally get into Task Manager and end process on whatever is locking up the VM (can vary, it has happened on Windows Update, VMWare Tools installation, Server Manager, etc...) But most times I have to restart the VM.
If I do Windows Updates on it, then do a restart, it hangs on Configuring Updates Stage 3 of 3 (0%), and the only way to get out of this is to restart the VM a few times...
Does anybody have any recommendations as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Thanks
Did you ever find a fix?
I ended up having to reinstall to OS.
okay could it be due to virus?
