OK, sorry if someone else has already posted this somewhere or the sollution has been posted but I am currently unable to find any such post after a whole day of searching.
Anyway, I recently upgraded my VMWare Server installation to version 2 (running on Windows Server 2003 Standard R2). Since then, I have been unable to create a new Virtual Machine, create a new data store or even import an existing Virtual Machine.
All of these tasks result in the same error:
"PermissionDeniedException: Access Denied"
Upon looking at the tomcat log files in C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMWare\VMWare Server\tomcat-logs I found in proxy.log the following:
Error in the method call CreateVM_Task : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Error processing action request /cmd/folder : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Error in the method call CreateLocalDatastore : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Error processing action request /cmd/hostdatastoresystem : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Error in the method call RegisterVM_Task : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
Error processing action request /cmd/folder : Permission to perform this operation was denied.
If anyone knows of a solution any help would be much appreciated.
