For over a few years I still cannot get the screenshot verification up and running for a Windows Server (at this moment 2022). The VM Recovery boot is slow as the Windows Server is using iSCSI and because of that a Nakivo proxy is needed.
So setup is: Synology NAS -> ESXi proxy -> ESXi recovery host.
I already put the VMTools service as delayed start, changed the registry for a longer service timeout (ServicePipeTimeout to 240.000) and set the screenshot settings in Nakivo to:
- VMs simultaneously: 1
- Recovery time: 30 min
- Screenshot delay: 800 seconds.
Is there anything else possible to get this to work? For example put the VMTools service as dependent on another important service?
