I see similar issues with "Getting domain name failed:..." for Player/Workstation in VMware Communities:
- VMware player 7.1.2 - an internal error occurred while preparing to run your virtual machine, crash follows
- Workstation 11 + Workplace Join = no go?, Windows 10
I have not seen this particular issue before. How are you invoking VMRC? From vSphere web client? This looks like it hits a problem connecting to the VM, "Getting domain name failed: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done," then crashes. Are you able to connect to your remote VM from other computers?Do you have any other VMware software installed like Workstation or Player? Did you have another version of VMRC installed before?
Here's something to try based on the other post above if you're comfortable with it. Run vmrc as a local user (if you don't have a local account you can create one):
- Retrieve the URL from your browser that will launch VMRC. Chrome will pop a confirmation dialog from which you can copy it.
- Open a CMD window, type the following where local_username is a local user on your computer and VMRC_URL is the URL you copied above: runas /user:<local username> "vmrc VMRC_URL"
P.S. The entry about "GetOVFToolPath" is not a problem--this is not needed for VMRC.
