Configure advanced option, PowerCLI method below:.Upgrade VM hardware if required ( versions before 7 had a lower graphic memory allocation, will depend on your resolution, good opportunity to do it while the VM is offline).Set resolution to desired size using method in KB2058577 (This is to ensure the VM does not get stuck in a resolution it may have auto-sized to previously).To disable the auto resizing, add the advanced paramater ='FALSE' to the virtual machine which is documented in KB53572.īelow are the steps that solved the problem for me: Now, I am not entirely sure what introducted this behaviour, but what I do know is that in the release of VMware Tools 10.2.5 an option to disable the behavior was added. I got on the phone to support and didnt get much further, but they suggested updating tools to a newer version, so I went over to the release notes of some of the newer versions. I was unable to find any other articles that had a permentant fix. The behaviour was noticed shortly after an upgrade from vCenter 5.5 to VCSA 6.5, so the end users were not as fond of the VCSA as I was.Īttempting to force the resolution using the method defined in KB2058577 didnt help either as it would resize as soon as the window was modified. When a user would open the remote console, it would automatically re-size the resolution to fit the window size. This particular customer had an application which requires a specific resolution in order to function properly. I have installed the certs under our base URL (Download trusted root CA certificates).The other day my attention was drawn to an odd behavioural change when connecting to a VM using the VMware console, Web or Remote. I have tried re-installing the software you get from 'Download Enhanced Authentication Plugin' more than once (and rebooted). I tried this ( ), but it didn't seem to help. If I use a Windows 7 pc, I can successfully log in to vcenter and open and authenticate in a remote console (same userid and vm I tried above). 'Use Adobe Flash Player' is on, in Edge's Advanced Settings.įlash site: IE crashes and attempts to reload the page Using the vcenter /vsphere-client (Flash), I get a blank page after login.įlash site: Blank window after login. It asks for the password for vcenter, and I use the same password I used to get into the ui URL. If I use the vcenter /ui (HTML5), I can log in, and I can launch a remote console (a separate window pops up), but it never authenticates me. Up until now, I had been making do with the Windows Client, but I can't use it anymore. Our vcenter admin recently did an upgrade to vsphere 6.5.
