Normally when using VMWare Server 1.0.7 you are asked if you would like to connect to the local machine or a remote host. Installing the same software on 64-bit Windows 2008 only gives the remote host option.
I have tried entering the local machine name as the host and entering creds that have admin rights to the server but I just get a "Cannot connect as the target machine actively rejected it" error. I have tried to find a solution on Google, but with no joy.
Anyone run into this before and can point me in the right direction?
It would seem the drivers for VMWare Server 1.0.7 are unsigned and 64-bit windows refuses to load them. Prior to security update KB932596 you could disable this check, but they have now stopped this.
I have previously tried VMWare Server 2, but have not found it that stable.
Running out of ideas......
