Well this was a weird discovery. Looking at KB1012812 from vmware i get a different “solution” in Internet explorer vs Firefox.
No wonder i get no performance overview chart 
I used this link http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1012812
See screens
Same link different solution ?

Do you want to continue restarting?
I received this “error” after i wanted to reboot the virtual machine. The interesting question about this is who logged on to this machine. Therefore you need to run the command qwinsta
This displays information about sessions on a terminal server.
Open command prompt xxx use the ip number of the “target” server:
C:\>qwinsta /server:xxx.xxx.xxx
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
console admin2 0 Active wdcon
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd
rdp-tcp#6 admin14 1 Active rdpwd
This will list the connections.
Whoohoo
The storage team here is going to have a proof of concept with 3par storage.
That’s going to be very interesting.
They asked me if i wanted to join the “testteam” from esx perspective’s. Were in the middle of the migration to vsphere but the test’s are going to be mainly on the “old 3.5 environment”.
If there is time the testing will also take place at the new environment with the mpio settings in place. Iometer is going to be the “measurement tool”. Also software developers created a build environment to test with. This all will take place in Januari. Preparing and writing!
its christmas(olmost) 
After i didn’t do my exam because of the misplanning i had another issue when installing the new environment. Yea having a great day
After installing the new host’s i connected the second nic to the service console. Because of this i lost my connection to the host.
Login to the console(local physical machine).
List the nics that are in use by the service console
esxcfg-vswitch -l to list the nic’s
Specify the nic you wan’t to remove.
esxcfg-vswitch –unlink=vmnic0 vSwitch0
After this vmnic0 is removed from the vswitch and you can connect again to the host with the vi client.
Maybe there is a quicker solution but this worked for me.
Stealing host password’s.
The tool used for password recovery is explained on

Here is it in action.

Im a little afraid for it because everyone’s telling me this one’s difficult. But with the help of Simon Long and the books i have, it should be go well^^.
