Re: Remote desktop not connectingg to windows 10 vm on esxi 6.0

To close this out:

The connecting workstation was being blocked from using outgoing RDP. I checked RDP from a different workstation and it worked fine.

That led me back to the firewall and antivirus on the client that i was connecting from. Not sure why but, was able to resolve the firewall problem. AVG Business antivirus Firewall was turned on and had a setting called Share network connection blocked. after enabling this, it works as it should. Additionally just turning off the firewall did not allow the connection to work. I had to enable the "share network connection" then disable again before it would connect.

Thanks for the ideas!

Also, the Vsphere esxi is running version 6.0 of both vshpere and hypervisor.

Changed the RDP port to allow port forwarding to manage RDP through the internet gateway firewall to connect from outside the LAN for multiple systems behind a single IP.

Hello,

Originally a windows 10 virtual machine would allow RDP connections on Port 3390 from a machine on the same local network. Now, i cant connect to RDP on these machine.

Why would this have changed? No firewalls active and all on the same subnet. I can ping the ip address of the the virtual machine but can not get a response when looking at Port 3390 as configured in windows in the VM.

What am missing?

I found what i was missing. The AVG Business Antivirus Firewall settings were weird. I have to set the advanced firewall to on to activate connection sharing then disable the advance firewall again. Dumb way for this to work.

why would this not automatically be handed off to the VM bios? Is there some step that I am missing? surely this can not be this difficult

So, now that I have had a crash course in back end configuring the VM boot settings, I have finally, manage to get all of the settings in the correct bios order.

Thank you for the help. It was a system and server saver.

there were two virtual hard disks on this VM. The Bios is only seeing one that is not the boot disk. How can I get this to point back to the boot disk?

Figured out the previous instructions.

Now still not boot of the VM after re-register. goes to PXE boot.

Thanks for the reply. Forgive me but, I am newbie to this system. How do I find and edit the "vmx" file and how do I reinstate the VM to my inventory if I remove it?

Changed boot option to EFI from Bios for Win10 pro VM under esxi 6.0 and now can't change back and can't boot win 10 pro VM. Help. What additional information do you need to assist me with this issue. Need the files from this VM at a minimum. Why would this change be allowed to if it cant be reversed!
