Dear
I'm experiencing a few problems with VMware Server on Windows XP Pro with Novell Client : i can not launch VMware Server Console because i get the following issue :
There was a problem connecting:
511 vmware-serverd service is not running.[/i]
Before using XP with Novell Client, i used standalone Windows XP pro with VMware Server and everything worked fine.
I used the Administrator local account (workstation only with Novell Client) to install VMware.
I tried different possible things :
\- starting the VMware Registration Service by hand doesn't work (services.msc) :
Could not start the VMWare Regsitration Service service on Local Computer
Error 1067 : Process terminated unexpectedly
I've got the same problem with the following script : http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=551515#551515
\- i tried to enable "net logon" (a user told to do it on a thread here) but afterwards i wasn't able to log on with Administrator account any more.
\- i tried to repair my VMWare installation but then it was worse : it crashed (the computers rebooted) at the end of the process and that on two computers. Then i was not able to do anything with VMWare stuff.
I thing this problem is related to the Novell Client since it worked on systems without the Novell Client. What do you think about that ?
Thank you in advance/
