VixVM.LoginInGuest failure or insufficient permissions in guest operating system

Question

I'm using VixVM's API to log-in to VMs and perform actions. I am able to log-in using a regular user account, but trying to do so using a domain user account, will issue the following error message:

LoginToGuestAuthentication failure or insufficient permissions in guest operating system

I am using the correct syntax of the function, that is domain\\username .

I tried to google for the solution but i couldn't find a documentation regarding this. Does anyone know how to bypass this error ?

Answer 1

I ran into a mysterious 'Insufficient Permissions' error with VMWare fusion out of nowhere. After drilling down into the hosts' logs I uncovered the error:

There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation

I had accumulated many old vms in .Trashes on osx which filled up the disk. Purging them resolved the error. Hope this helps
