Need help connecting two virtual machines together - windows-10

I am running two virtual machines on my local computer (Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10 running on vmware workstation 12). My Server 2012 R2 has SQL Server 2016 Developers edition on there and I have Windows 10. Both of them have SSMS 17.7 on them. I am trying to connect to the server on my Windows 10 machine via SSMS. I tried authenticating them, but the Windows 10 VM does not show up. Even when I try to map or even UNC path into any of them, nothing shows up (on both ends). Now, I have tried bridged connection and serial port for both of them and that does not seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be the problem or can give me a link to do this in? I have tried this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GUsyEJda-E0 and VMWare's official site:https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html Thanks in advance!

How to connect macbook 11.4 big sur remotely with windows server 2008 R2

I have 3 RDP's (2 of Windows server 2012 R2 and 1 Windows Server 2008 R2). By using Microsft Remote Desktop, I am able to get connected remotely with the two Windows Server 2012 R2. But I am unable to connect with Windows Server 2008 R2. I am getting the below error.
Previously I was able to connect with all three. Also, I want to mention that in the windows environment I am not facing any issue with the RDP.
I am stuck to it and don't know what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I had this issue and this is what I did to get working back the RDP client on a Macbook pro mid-2015 with the last big sure release.
First make sure that :
the remote server IS online
the remote server IS accepting RDP connections
the remote server firewall IS configured correctly with the right port
the remote server IS NOT configured to accept only connections with NLA
After validating the above points, then on your client (the Mac) you can try to get working the RDP with this first step :
remove (please make a backup) the file UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.rdc located in /Users/[Your username]/Library/Group Containers/ then reboot your Mac.
If it still doesn't work, you could try to remove the app, reboot, then re-install the app again.
You can also analyze the Event-Viewer on the 2008 R8 server to see if there is something to help you to spot the issue.
More information about troubleshooting RDP :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/troubleshoot-remote-desktop-disconnected-errors
I faced the same problem some years ago.
here's the solution:
Read the article carefully. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/troubleshoot-remote-desktop-disconnected-errors.
And check if the remote server IS accepting RDP connections.
And also check if the remote server accepting only connections with NLA.
delete the file UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.rdc and Reboot.
And if still doesn't work, then totally uninstall / remove the app and install again and check.
Thank You

The emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running

I have a vm created in Azure, Windows Server 2012, x64 with Visual Studio 2015.
I'm trying the Weather application example from the site https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/get-started-first-mobile-app/
When I try to start the application running the emulator VS Emulator 5 KitKat (4.4) I have errors with internet connection but I actually can connect to the internet.
Just after launch the application I get this message:
I hit Accept and then, after display the screen, I get next messages (Although the message is talking about Hyper-V, i´m using my MSDN account and Azure)
When I try to start the application running the emulator VS Emulator 5 KitKat (4.4) I have errors with internet connection but I actually can connect to the internet.
VS Emulators run as Hyper-V Virtual Machines. And if you are already in a Windows Server 2012 VM environment, it is not possible to to start another VM inside of it.
In Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 VM it is possible to start an VM inside. For details, please refer to Enable Nested Virtualization.

TFS not accessible remotely after reboot of server

We have been working with TFS 2012 (Windows Server 2008 R2) successfully for a couple of months. Just now, I did a repair of .NET Framework 4.5 on the TFS machine (I was missing some files for a build) and did a reboot of the machine - the first in a long time.
And now:
I cannot access TFS from its remote IP-address as I could before the reboot (http://ipaddress-numbers:8080/tfs). Not from my local machine, and not logged in to the machine itself. Not accessible by Visual Studio, nor browser.
I can access it through http://localhost:8080/tfs logged in to the machine
From what I see, the binding to port 8080 is correct in IIS, and the port is also open for all in Windows Firewall.
After the reboot the network connection had changed from being classed as Private to Public. And so the firewall was set to not let through Public connections to the TFS.
I did the troubleshooting by disabling the firewall and seeing that the connection was let through...

Can't connect via RDP to Windows 2008 R2 Server

I just installed a Windows 2008 Standard R2 server with RDS. Whenever I attempt to connect to the server via RDP from a Windows 2003 server, I get the following error.
I am however able to connect from a Windows 7 desktop and using a Linux RDP client.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to resolve the problem?
Thank you in advance.
This is probably a Server Fault question, but none the less my guess is the server has the following setting:
Maybe your Linux RDP client doesn't support this functionality?
If not, check your Firewall, it needs to look like this:

Windows Server 2003 in vmware wont go online

my host machine is a 64bit Windows 7 Enterprise device. I have vmware player installed and have a virtual machine running XP SP3 for some old fashioned vb6 development. Inside this virtual OS, I can access the internet fine. Virtual Machine Network Adapter is set to NAT.
I also have another virtual machine, running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. This is also set to NAT. However, I cannot access the web from inside this machine. Troubleshooting attempted include turning off firewalls, setting the vmware network connections on my host machine to auto retrieve IP & DNS and a long search on google. I found this, http://www.techexams.net/forums/off-topic/27651-vmware-nat-not-working-correctly.html but can't seem to follow the instructions as it's obviously a much older vmware version. (2006!) I also tried disabling "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration"
Any help would be great. Thanks.
Are you able to connect to your VPS via Remote Desktop? If yes, then check the browser settings for Proxy and see how it connects to internet. If you are using FireFox then you need to follow below steps:
Open Firefox.
Click on Tools -> Options.
Go to Advanced -> Network tab.
Go to Connection -> Settings.
