Hi all, I recently imported in oVirt a Windows 2003R2 VM which previously ran on virt-manager/libvirt/KVM. All right (almost). The only weirdness is that I'm unable to have a VNC or SPICE console. Clicking the green terminal icon in webadmin makes me download a .rdp file regardless of what I have set in the VM's definition. Can anyone tell me what controls the production of a .rdp instead of a .vv? I think this has something to do with virt-v2v because other windows VM directly created in oVirt behave properly. What could I investigate more? Which config file? TIA, Giorgio.

Hi Giorgio, you can try this things: - have a look at the webadmin at the edit VM dialog at the console->protocol - right click the VM and select the Console Options and check there - if nothing helps you can try a different browser or delete the browser data (since we persist the last selection on frontend and something could go wrong) Tomas ----- Original Message -----

Thank you Tomas, that did the trick! I was missing that menu. Best regards, Giorgio. 2014-04-03 17:30 GMT+02:00 Tomas Jelinek <tjelinek@redhat.com>:
