Check Out VM with VMware View 4.5. "Underlying virtual machine is unavailable"

[Dimitar]

I have installed the following to an ESX 4.1 server:

- VMware View Connection Server (Server 2008 R2 Ent)

- V-Center (Server 2003 Std)

Install VMware Client with Local Mode 4.5 to a laptop

Installed VMware Agent to a WinXP and Win7 that is a vm guest of the ESX server.

I can connet successfully to both of these machines.

When I try to Check Out either of these machines, I get the error message after 2% saying, "This desktop's underlying virtual machine is unavailable"

Can anyone advise what to do to resolve this issue? I can't find anything so far for this error.

Thank you

Have you installed and setup a Transfer Server?

Double check and make sure your transfer server is running on an ESX host that has access to all the datastores the VMs disks are stored on.
