Hi all,
I'm using VMware ESXi4.0
I'm having an issue where if i reboot a virtual machine, once it reboots i try to use Remote Desktop Connection Manager to access it and receive this error:
"The connection cannot be completed because the remote computer that was reached is not the one you specified. This could be caused by an outdated entry in the DNS cache. Try using the IP address of the computer instead of the name."
The current machine that i notice the error on is Windows 7 but also happens to me on Server 2008. not sure if this relevant. I can still access the machine through vSphere but not Remote Desktop. When i ping the name of the machine as well as the IP address, they both have similar delay times.
I have checked my DC for the dns entries and they are there for this computer as well as in the reverse lookup zones. I've tried doing a /flushdns and /registerdns on the VM.
Usually to fix this i would have to log into the VM from vSphere and then use RDCM to connect to it.
I saw another post regarding this issue within the forum but it didn't have a solution. This post is here > http://communities.vmware.com/message/1304004
I have tried the recommendations from there and they didn't help.
Any ideas on what else i can try?
Thanks in advance,
John
