To Mike:
1. I have 2GB assigned to the vConnect server.
2. Lets come back around on vConnect issues in a bit. But can you also please give me steps to supply the VMX? (I would be able to do it from VMware Workstation) but am unclear how do to it using vCenter. Sorry. Thanks.
mPryor and lborque:
1. Uploaded a new VM guest (same basic one I use everyday in VMware Workstation).. Installed the View agent and rebooted.
Then, before I tried to even MAKE my next pool...
2. Tried to telnet to all relevent ports. 3389 passed. The rest you mentioned failed. http://screencast.com/t/5wAcxMhvXGP
3. Ran the diagnostics. I have a small and large version (with process dumps).

While I wait for you guys to get into the office for feedback and to see these log files, I'm going to create a new VM from scratch and install the agent and upload it and see if I get the same results.
PS: I mentioned it earlier, but just to be on the safe side.. I'm implementing the WHOLE THING inside VMware Workstation as a proof of concept lab. All of it. The DC, vConnect, vCenter, ESXi, VMware Client.. Everything. http://screencast.com/t/pidQbTneRd7
