Problem: Opening vmware server console can sometimes render the following error.
“You don’t have appropriate permission to perform this operation” “You don’t have appropriate permission to perform this operation”
Resolution:
Two basic reasons that past this has occured for me – 1)The VMC file is set as read only and 2) The VMC file added to the console no longer exists or has moved, remove the Tab for the server (without deleting the file) re add the server back to the console
