Windows Application Event log, you see this error reported multiple times in quick error in the rpc receive loop vmware tools succession (log spew): [ warning] [vmusr:vmusr] Error in the RPC receive loop: RpcIn: Unable to send. Cause This error in the rpc receive loop unable to send issue occurs when the VMware Tools daemon (vmtoolsd) handles more than two Terminal Sessions. When a user connects to a Windows virtual machine, each terminal session should have one vmtoolsd running; however, vmtoolsd is https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2036350 limited to only two sessions running simultaneously. Thus the Windows Application Event log fills up with warning messages similar to this until the total connection count is >2 per session: [vmusr:vmusr] Error in the RPC receive loop: RpcIn: Unable to send This is correct: Workaround To work around this issue, disable VMware Tools logging to the Event Log and general virtual machine logging to the vmware.log http://blog.vmpros.nl/2014/11/20/vmware-error-in-the-rpc-receive-loop-rpcin-unable-to-send/ file for the virtual machine. To disable VMware Tools application event logging: Open the tools.conf file using a text editor. The tools.conf file is located at: Windows XP and Windows Server 2000/2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Tools\ Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Tools\ Linux: /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf Add this section to the tools.conf file:[logging] vmusr.level = error vmsvc.level = error Save and close the file. Restart the VMTools service (Administrative Tools > Services). Note: If there are users logged in to more than one session, restarting the VMTools service may not be sufficient. You may have to kill the vmtoolsd.exe process for all instances.
