Hi All,

Ok we think we're further along and kind of have a solution.

We tried an older version of Workstation (an EOL one) 12.5.x and this seemed to work ok.

From there it then also worked in 16.2.3 after being setup with 12. Looking around trying to see what was different, realised that VMware tools is at a different version (10.3.23) in VMWare workstation 16 but at 10.1.3 in V12. So from there we've downloaded the vmware tools 10.1.5 and used this instead of 10.3.23 and this also appears to work.

Hope this helps someone else.
