remote control problems

following the steps to install VM additions:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/virtualserver/2005/proddocs/vs_operate_ht_installVMA.mspx

at step 4 - click remote control - I get this error message:

Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC) Server Properties

Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC) server must be enabled before you
can remotely control a virtual machine with the ActiveX VMRC control or
through the Virtual Machine Remote Control client.

When I try to start the VMRC client from the start menu I am prompted
for the full path to the something or other. This cant be this hard.
I must have taken the wrong turn somewhere.

This is all on one system. WinXP is the host. VS 2005 downloaded
yesterday. Would like to run Linux as a guest.

When I start Virtual Server from the start menu I only option that
makes sense is the VM admin website. I just read somewhere that I dont
need that if I am running everything from one PC. But I dont see any
other options.

thanks,

-Steve

You need the Admin site, unless you're using an alternate method to

already have a good concept of Virtual Server, it's way easier to just
use the Admin page.

Hi!

Well, sounds to me like to did not enable VMRC Server. Perhaps you
should do that first, otherwise you can not remote contol virtual
machines via the website or the VMRC client.

Go to "Server Properties" in the master navigation pane of the admin
website. Then go to "Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC) Server"
Properties and click the checkbox to enable the VMRC server.

Cheers Markus

Has anyone resolved this issue?

I am having the same problem.

When I click the checkbox to enable VMRC Server; I get this error message:
Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC) server must be enabled before you can remotely control a virtual machine with the ActiveX VMRC control or through the Virtual Machine Remote Control client.

Thanks in advance!
