Hello,
I use a laptop and have the vsphere client version 5.5.0 build 1993072 installed on it.
Our VMware server is version 5.5.0 Build 2001466.
Issue I ran into: When I use the vsphere client on my laptop and 'open console' to any virtual machine I would receive the below error.
The VMRC console has disconnect.. attempting to reconnect.
However, I could use the vsphere client from the Windows vcenter server without issues.
Resolution:
There was a preferences.ini file in a folder called 'VMware' on my roaming profile network share.
It was in a locked state. 'preferences.ini.lck.
All I had to do was rename the vmware folder for it to create a new one and all was good.
Question:Can I change the location that the preferences.ini file is located to C:\users\VMware, etc.?
I am not sure what is even creating this file and if it is really needed.
Thank you for any help!
Preferences.ini
.encoding = "windows-1252"
hint.keyboardHook.hookTimeout = "FALSE"
hints.hideAll = "FALSE"
