Don't have vCenter Server so we administer ESXi 6 hosts via the vSphere client.
Often from some Windows machines we can't get to the VM consoles due to the error in the console window reading:
"The VMRC console has disconnected ...attempting to reconnect."
Occasionally re-starting vSphere client corrects it, if that won't do it then re-booting the windows machine running the client will, if that won't do it then uninstalling and re-installing the client works.
Uninstalling and re-installing takes a long time and I'd much prefer to fix it vs. fight it.
Anybody get to the bottom of this? Is it an AV or Windows firewall issue, if so why would it be intermittent?
Thanks all,
-I seem to have reached a point where even re-installation won't work. Can't get a console at all and have reverted to a backup admin system.. I've downloaded the latest version of vsphere client 6.0.0, uninstalled anything and everything from vmware on the PC and tried starting with just the new rev as admin, etc, etc. Not sure what to try next, re-installing windows I suppose. – Aimsworthy – 2017-01-27T23:05:38.410
This seems like a technical support issue that would be answered better on the VMware community forums (be sure to post your VMRC log). – jamesdlin – 2017-02-08T12:25:55.373
