The vmware probe is installed on a system where another Java JRE is installed in addition to the UIM Java JRE. The other Java JRE is found in the Windows PATH System environment variable. After upgrading to vmware v6.72 on this windows server, the probe fails to connect to the monitored resource with the configured username and password which worked prior to upgrading the probe. Downgrading to the previous version of the vmware probe does not correct this. The error recorded in the vmware.log file is similar to the following:
