in my case vmware said my virtual machine was already running, ownership taking was unsuccessful.

Thanks to this tip i've got my vm machine back! Thanks!

Please can anyone tell me if it is possible to change one or all of my virtual switch port to promiscuous mode on in a virtual environment ?

I have 6 guest O/S connected using Host- Only Option; but put one one of the machine to monitor all traffic on the virtual switch.

Great job! This was a great hint. I was able to “Show Package Contecnts” on my VM, find the “Windows XP Professional.vmx.lck” file, and just moved it out of the package. Worked like a charm!
