Vista - VMRC & SCVMM2008 issues...

Hi Fellas:

I recently migrated from SCVMM2007 to 2008 and suddenly, when I try to
remote any of the vm's (on a 2k5 host) I intermittently get just a black
screen (no error).

I am very dependent on VMRC as this is how my vendors connect to various
VM's in my environment.

Is there a System Center discussion group? I didn't see it in the list.

Also, is there an equivalent mechanism for remote connection (other than
RDP) for Hyper-V driven VM's?

Thanks!

There's a technet group of forums for SCVMM:

I got to the site and I can see forum posts but whenever I click on a
response it redirects to some other site that doesn't work.

Do you have an updated link?

I'll never understand why all the products cannot be in one forum (like this
fine one)...

Actually *NOT* a forum, these usually suck big-time.
This is a fine *newsgroup* instead, which works very good with no
flashing overhead and lightning fast navigation (provided you use a
decent newsreader).

The link below works for me. You need to sign with your Live ID to
reply. Before you click reply, go to the top corner and sign in with
your Live ID, then you shouldn't get an auto-redirect

Newsgroups are harder to control. You get a lot less trolls in a
forum below.

I am signed in and the link still does not work - oh well...

I ended up solving my own issue.

It looks like SCVMM2K8 changed the security access to the VM's up a bit.

From my personal workstation, under the Administration tab, I wasn't able to
see a General item. On the SCVMM server console itself, this tab was
available.

After clicking on the General tab, there was an item called Remote Control
where it allowed me to add AD users/groups that have access to VMRC or
VMConnect and the associated ports.

Not it works - go figure!
