Esxi 4.1 Custom Settings

I am having RDP issues on my SBS 2008 domain.

The keyboard and mouse will lose temporarily buffer and sometimes the RDP session will actually time out.

Are there ESXi/ vsphere settings that might improve this buffer/iop challenge that I'm having?

Ensure you have VMware Tools installed in the Virtual Machine.

When you say RDP do you actually mean vsphere client?
If so make sure to install the VMWare Tools.  That will improve mouse and keyboard in the vsphere connection

VmTools is current on all VM's

I'm looking to change an advanced setting in vSphere client that might help the rdp traffic....

Are you saying that you are using RDP to connect to a PC, with vSphere Client, and using console to access VM, and your having issues.

If this correct thos is normal double remote sessions cause this.

Use the vSphere Client direct via VPN and not RDP.

From a local machine I use vSphere to console into.  That seems to be more stable.  But then I close the console.  

Normally, we will RDP into our VM's from Wyse thin clients or from a local machine.  It is this last environment that is the most difficult to work in, ie keyboard buffering and timeouts....

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.
