Hi om8000,

This is just a post for the login errors, not the errors found in VMwareCP.log.

We received the same Virtual Center events (without having any problems): Failed login attempt for MYDOMAIN\administrator@127.0.0.1

It seemed that it was caused by an installation of Veeam Monitoring, which had a wrong configuration. After killing the sql db of this application, no logins occurred anymore.

Could also occur with a remote laptop with this application installed, connected with the VIclient to VC.

To get additional details about this error, please check the following:

1) Check under which account the vpxd.exe process runs on the Virtual Center server (taskmanager, show all processes and highlight the vpxd.exe proces, look at USERNAME)

2) Browse to the location C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs (replace %USERNAME% with the user, for SYSTEM use All Users)

3) Open the latest log of vpxd* and find the events.

Regards,

Wilbert
