  • 1.  not able to type password in to log in Windows

    Posted Jan 26, 2021 10:53 AM

    HI, Expert,

     

    I recently build new VM and instlal WSR202R2 without error. strange that when open the guest OS console, I could not type password in.

    see the mouse hint to input try type in, not acceptable. a few seconds the password box changed to grey.  

    Old VM does not have this problem.  I mean I could log in windows from VC Apliance on old VM.

    Actin taken as below. Please give advice.

    Moderator: Please be specific as to which VMware product you are running that VM on.

    HI,

    Install VMRC tool and able to pass Guest log in authentication.

     

    I am interesting how to install VM tool automatically without log in guest?

    It take me so long time get VM tool installation. I used tab to navigate to mount file to install. So difficult.

    Could you give guide automatically install VM tool on VC?
