Error opening the remote virtual machine-the host name could not be resolved
If you had installed VMware server the way I did, you most likely encountered an error when going to the console tab and try to install the OS on the virtual machine. the error reads “Error opening the remote virtual machine 8333\16 the host name could not be resolved”
The problem lies in the URL you use to login to the VMware server console. the default URL that VMware server creates is like https://vikas-pc:8333/ui/# if you substitute the computer name for “localhost” that should fix the problem. The URL to login to the VMware server console should be http://localhost:8333/ui/#.
Change your VMware default login shortcut URL to reflect this new path. Now you should be ready to initiate the OS installation on your virtual machine, that will be the topic of our next post. check it out here.
