Using the VS Remote Control

Message:

I have installed the VS 2005 R2 Enterprise on a Win2003 Ent sp1 machine. I
can create the virtual machines and see them in the admin web site, but when
I try to connect using the remote control, I get the msg "No Connection". I
have tried several things from the help file to get this working and spent
way too much time trying to find the solution. I'm trying to get this to
work from the console at the server so I'm not doing this thru remote
desktop or terminal services.

I'm trying to get to the point to install the OS - I can see in the
thumbnail on the Admin site where it's booting from the CD, but the remote
control will not connect to the Virtual Server to allow me to install the
OS. We are setting up a testing & development domain and want to take
advantage of the differencing disks & Undo disks, but if this can't be
resolved soon, the powers that be will be moving it all to VMWare.

Any help (soon) would be appreciated!

Yes, I have it enabled. I just can't get to the point where I install a
guest OS. This is incredibly frustrating...I've burned up one of our MS
Support Incidents talking with an Engineer for the last 1.5 hours w/o
getting anywhere.

I have the same problem running over WXP SP2 and checking in Virtual Server /

authentication. Error 0x8007200b - The attribute syntax specified to the

Any ideas?

In virtual Server / Server Properties / VMRC Server I had in TCP/IP address
the current one 192.168.xx.xx, I changed to (All unassigned) and it worked!

Maybe it can help somebody.

Brilliant, thanks Marcelo - I had the same problem, and switching to 'all unassigned' fixed it for me too!
