Each time my Windows Server 2008 R2 host restarts, the guest operating system clients running on vmware server fail to start. They get the following error message:
msg.uuid.altered:This virtual machine may have been moved or copied.
In order to configure certain management and networking features VMware Server needs to know which.
Did you move this virtual machine, or did you copy it?
If you don't know, answer "I copied it".
I did not move or copy any of the clients. The first time this happened, I was surprised, and I checked moved. This allowed the machine to start, but the next time there was a reboot of the host, the error came back. I tried copy, same behavior.
I am running the latest release of vmware server.
Any clue why this error message keeps coming back?
