I am running several virtual machines on a Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 server with 8GB of memory and an Intel E5335 Quad Core CPU. Ever since the upgrade to VMWare's free Server 2.0, I cannot get the command line vmrun.exe to stop, suspend, restart, or start a virtual server guest. I get the error "Error: Insufficient permissions in host operating system" with the following command line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Server>vmrun -T server -h https://localhost:8333/sdk -P 8333 -u myusername -p mypassword stop "C:\Virtual Machines\Coyote\Coyote.vm"
It seems like that would work, except for the insufficient permissions error. The username that I put is a domain administrator and I have tried to put in the username as DOMAIN\myusername with no success. I have tried with my username, which is what I used to install the software, and it works fine. What permission exactly am I missing when the user specified in the command line is already an administrator on the computer and the domain?
