The guest OS has reported an error during quiescing. The error code was: 5 The error message was: 'VssSyncStart' operation failed: IDispatch error #8449 (0x80042301)

Hello,

I received this error when trying to make a clone of one of our Windows 2008 R2 VM's. After the failure I rebooted the VM, it came up OK, but when you try to log on through the console or through a RDP session the server locks up hard. If I don't log in the server runs Ok. Has anybody seen this type of issue before?

Thanks,

Have a look @VMware KB: Cannot create a quiesced snapshot because the snapshot operation exceeded the time limit ... and also the previous post VssSyncStart' operation failed
