VM turned to black screen

[henrydenhengst]

I have a VM (Windows2003R2) and it starts just right. But if I open a console it is all black. And you cannot reach it through RDP.

It used to work and then it seems it died?! Can I fix this problem somehow?

Make sure Port 903 is still open from your VI client to the ESX host where the VM is located.

It is open. All other VM' s on the ESX host are working just fine

Hello,

Moved to the Virtual Machine and Guest OS forum.

Can you RDP into the VM? I would use that over the remote console.

Do you have latency in your connection from teh VIC to the VM? If so , have you tried from a another VM you can reach or local to the ESX host physical windows machine?

Is this over the VIC or through the web?

Best regards,
