Unable to connect to Virtual Servers using VMRCPLUS

I've had this happen a couple of times. I tried to connect to the server using VMRC PLus and it would just hang. Here is what I've done to fix the problem.

1. Stop the Virtual Server services. You may need to use task manager to kill off the VM processes.

2. Navigate to C:\documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Server\Virtual Machines\

3. Move or delete all of these files. I usually just move them to another folder, but then later I delete them.

4. Now start the Virtual Server service

5. You should be able to connect to the server using VMRC Plus.

6. After you connect your virtual servers will be missing. Don't worry, just add them back.

7. Click on "Virtual Machines" and then "add".

8. Drill down to where you keep the Virtual servers and add each one back. They will be intact and should startup without any problems.

Good Luck.
