Hi Christian,
I certainly do. the error returns almost immediately after the VM has been
reverted. I believe looking at the code, it should wait 60 seconds for
timeout, waiting for the machine to restart and the tools to become available?
when the machine is reverted, it is powered off, and does not come back on
again. Perhaps the status returned from the VM (powered off) causes the check
/ wait process for the client to fail. If I power it on myself, the capture
server reverts it again within a minute or so.
if you have any other suggestions I would appreciate it, does anyone have this
working with VMWare Server 1.0.5?
Kind regards
Jon

Hello all,
apologies for the post, but I am struggling to get the VIX portion working
correctly (I believe), with VMWare Server 1.0.5. I am unfortunately unable to
go to a lower version on my servers as this will cause additional problems.
I am seeing the machine get reverted, but not restarted.
output is below:
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902] VM added

note the return from waitingForToolsInGuest is immediate, rather than waiting.
I have tried recompilation, but with that, I do not even get the VM reverting.
can anyone give me any pointers or clues?
many thanks for any input.
kind regards
Jon
