  • 1.  Vmware tools generates Windows events: Event ID: 1000

    Posted Jul 18, 2013 06:03 AM

    We use Windows server 2003 R2 and ESXi 5.1. We use Vmware tools 9.0.5 build 1065307.

    In our event logs we sometimes see this message:

    Event Type:Error
    Event Source:VMware Tools
    Event Category:None
    Event ID:1000
    Date:6/16/2013
    Time:5:00:24 AM
    User:NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
    Computer:BL-VAP0017

    Description:

    [critical] [vmsvc:Glib] file ..\..\..\glib\gmain.c: line 2849: assertion `loop != NULL' failed

    We dont have any problems on the server, been googling for this problem, no results. So if anyone has an idea... let us know!

    Thanks!

    We have it on 100 servers. So we could reinstall vmware tools, but still it be nice to know what it is first...

    Try this & let me know if it is helpful

    Go to C:\Documents and Users\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Tools

    Create a file tools.conf In the file put this (I only used [unity] as the other portion disables logging which I didn't want to do)

    [unity]

    pbrpc.enable = false

    [logging]

    vmusr.level = error

    vmsvc.level = error

    Go to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr

    and rename unity.dll to unity.dll.orig or an extension of your choosing.

    Reboot

    Hope this is helpful for someone
