An Unexplained Error Occurred Vmware Console
on host--work aroundSo, the situation: Last night I was called by our head practice manager preparing for a sales demo today; he was in a panic (well, he was calm and collective, I was paniced)--the virtual machine we created for his demo was broken.Everything had started ok: he got the virtual image started on his laptop, and was able to get to the console. But then... he closed his laptop cover with the VM running, and then when he opened it back up, he started getting this message when opening the VMWare console:Error opening the remote {machine name}:8333\16: An unexplained error occurred.A couple reboots later, he called me. We went through all sorts of troubleshooting, even created a new virtual, with no success--until I asked if he had Internet connectivity. Turns out the laptop coming out of hibernation did not automatically connect to the wifi network, or there were additional steps at the hotel, but regardless, he didn't. A few Google searches turned up this life saver: http://amritbera.blogspot.com/2009/03/vmware-remote-console-unexplained-error.htmlSo, I had him powered off the non-functional machine, got his wifi going, opened a browser, and verified his Internet connectivity. And then, he powered up the machine again, and, viola, it worked.The issue is that the VMWare Ethernet adapter must have a DNS entry or it gets all hosed up. So, answer is vmnet1 network adapter (an adapter that is installed automatically when VMWare installed) needs to have it's DNS entry configured to be the same as it's IP address to work when Internet connectivity is unavailable.Since I didn't think any of our sales team would know what the heck that meant, I wrote up some instructions with screenshots to make these adjustments on a Windows 7 host:Workaround for "Unexpected Error" when starting VMWare console and NOT connected to a network: Go to Control Panel / Network and Sharing :Click on Manage network connections- You may have to change to detail view and expand the device name so you can see the whole name:- Right click on the one that is VMWare Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1- Select Properties- Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and select PropertiesLeave the top part alone, but under DNS server addresses, enterCopy whatever is in IP Address to the Preferred DNS server:In my case, I am copying 192.168.207.1, but this may be different for you.That should do it, and is sufficient to solve th

Immer wenn ich versucht habe die Remote Console zu öffnen, erhielt ich folgende Fehlermeldung: Error opening the remote virtual machine 192.168.178.253:8333\16: An unexplained error http://blog.pcfreak.de/2010/08/31/vmware-remote-console-does-not-open-an-unexplained-error-occured/ occured. Zunächst wurde vermutet, dass es am Betriebssystem (Server 2008 R2), den Sicherheitseinstellungen des Internet Explorers (Enhanced Security Configuration on) bzw. an der Installation des „VMware Remote Console Plugins" liegt - Fehlanzeige. Ich mache es kurz, das Problem tritt immer dann auf, wenn auf dem Rechner, auf dem man den Browser und somit auch das „VMware Remote Console Plugin" startet keine DNS-Server in den TCP/IP-Einstellungen konfiguriert ist (z.B. bei einem Testsystem). Also DNS-Server eintragen (zur Not geht auch 127.0.0.1) und schon klappt das Öffnen der Remote Console problemlos. 1 Comment so far Tasko on Juni 23rd, 2011 ROTFL Danke für's Ersparen weiterer Experimente…:-) Posting your comment.

Remote Console Error opening the remote virtual machine localhost:8333\80: An unexplained error occured. ネットワークに接続していない環境で起きる場合があるようです。 プレゼンの際にあたふたしなくもいいように対処方法を覚えておきましょう。 ホスト側の VMnet1 の DNS サーバーの IP アドレスを自分に設定するとよいらしいです。 http://pooh.gr.jp/?p=6121 スタート > コントロールパネル > ネットワーク接続 > VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 を選択 > ファイル (または右クリック) > プロパティ > インターネットプロトコル (TCP/IP) > プロパティ > 次の http://blogs.msmvps.com/vandooren/2009/08/19/vmware-server-2-console-wtf/ DNS サーバーのアドレスを使う の 優先 DNS サーバー の値に 次の IP アドレスを使う の IP アドレス の同じ値を入力 This entry was posted in Windows.

for testing our operating procedures. Everything was working fine before I got on holiday. Now I am back for 2 weeks, and suddenly, VMWare thorws a wobbler. Using the server console, I can start and stop local virtual machines, but whenever I try to connect to the console, I got the following error: ‘Error opening the remote virtual machine machinename:8333\16: An unexplained error occured.‘ Brilliant. An error message that is as useless as a bookshelf made from mashed potatoes, that turns up without any changes to the system. And of course, googling did turn up many people with the same problem, but noone with a solution. Eventually, I found someone who suggested a solution for generic connection problems: On the host computer you need to access the network properties for vmnet1. find Internet protocol tcp/ip (v4) click properties in the window use following DNS server address enter the static ip address displayed or enter the ip address 127.0.0.1 hit ok hit ok again done ! restart the machine to verify working I have no idea why this is suddenly necessary, because the machine name is the local name and I can ping it without a problem. And VMWare consoles used to work just fine before my holiday, so I am really a bit annoyed with this. Still, the above fix worked like a charm so I am not going to complain too much.
