Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I am running VMware server 2.0, host system is windows server 2003 r2 64 bit. VM is windows server 2008 r2 64bit, running sql server 2008 on the vm.<br />
<br />
My problem is that when I run the task manager in the vm, the UI of the vm locks up, I am unable to do anything. I can’t click on anything, I can’t send ctl,alt,del. &nbsp;I have to crash the vm and reboot to regain control.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;SQL seems to keep running fine, when the UI locks up. but I have no access to the user interface of the vm server. &nbsp;I cannot connect to a RDP session, it times out.<br />
<br />
Seems that if I don’t run task manager, all is ok. But I need to be able to run task manager.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else had this problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Hello Experts,

I am running VMware server 2.0, host system is windows server 2003 r2 64 bit. VM is windows server 2008 r2 64bit, running sql server 2008 on the vm.

My problem is that when I run the task manager in the vm, the UI of the vm locks up, I am unable to do anything. I can’t click on anything, I can’t send ctl,alt,del.  I have to crash the vm and reboot to regain control.

 SQL seems to keep running fine, when the UI locks up. but I have no access to the user interface of the vm server.  I cannot connect to a RDP session, it times out.

Seems that if I don’t run task manager, all is ok. But I need to be able to run task manager.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.


VMware server 2.0 locks up UI when task manager is ran

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
