How do I fix "No permission to perform this operation." VMWare Server Error
Posted on September 12th, 2007 by thehabgroup
After the reboot of a host VMWare server you may receive the error message “No permission to perform this operation” when attempting to start a VM machine.
Here are the steps to solve the problem:
- On the host Windows server, navigate to the folder that contains the VMWare configuration files and verify that the relevant user has full NTFS permission on the folder.
- Right click on the target VM machine in the VMWare console and select “Remove from Inventory.” This will remove the Vm machine from the list of virtual machines.
- In the VmWare server console select File -> Open -> Browse to the folder that contains the relevant *.vmx virtual machine configuration file.
- Select Ok. The problem virtual machine will reappear in the VmWare server console.
- You should now be able to power on (start) the VM machine.
