Cannot connect to CD from VMware guest

Asked by agradmin in VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server, Virtualization

I am unable to connect to a Cd drive on our Virtual Infrastructure 2.5 client from any VM. All indicate "The CD/DVD drive could not be connected". Additionally, when I edit hardware properties for the CD drive the "Connected" and "Conect at Power up" Status connections are grayed out.
Background;
- this has been operational in the past
- Windows can explore the drive content
- Server has been rebooted
- VMware tools are up to date, have tried updating VM's but no change.

Expert advice would be appreciated
