VMware Tools Issue -- Server 2003R2 in Safe Mode

  • 1.  VMware Tools Issue -- Server 2003R2 in Safe Mode

    Posted Jan 24, 2016 03:31 PM

    Hello,

    I recently updated a Windows 2003R2 server with VMware Tools for ESXi 5.1. The installation was successful; however, the server only boots in Safe Mode. I have tried to uninstall the VMware Tools and re-install, without success. The VMCI Bus and Host drivers (2) are in error in Device Manager and I suspect this is the cause to Safe Mode. Before I turn this server off, I would like to get it out of Safe Mode. It is an older Active Directory domain controller. I do not have a good backup to restore.

    Can you please help?

    Thank you!
