VMware Remote Console connection - PowerShell error closes before I can read it
I am trying to connect with a VMware Remote Console connection. I can see PowerShell open up, and a lot of red text likely indicating an error, and then the window closes. How can I pause this, or find what PowerShell command my connection is running so that I can open PowerShell manually and try to run it?

Hello,
There are prerequisites for using VMware Console or VMware Synchronizer entries within RDM. Please follow this procedure https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/kb_configuringpowercli.htm
It will help If you have any problems with VMware in RDM.
After following these steps, do not hesitate to communicate with us if you still encounter issues.
Best regards,

Thanks! I have already performed the steps to do that, and can connect to my vSphere servers through PowerCLI (32 and 64), and the command successfully brings back a list of servers.

The only thing that MAY be out of the ordinary is that we have separate administrative accounts that we use for all admin tasks. We open RDM and PowerShell with these separate accounts using Shift+Right Click, then "run as different user". Perhaps when RDM opens PowerShell, it's using the default user account on our machines? (When PowerShell opens, i DO see my admin account credentials on the screen briefly before the error text though)
I have tried registry changes such as shown in item #3 here but that doesn't seem to prevent the PowerShell window from closing in this scenario: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24621106/
SOLVED! In the ancient tradition, I restarted my machine, and now it opens the Vmware Remote Console right fine. I'm not sure why this was needed, but it did the trick this time.
