Solution
Cisco had dropped support for DES with the 4.0(2) VPN client’s release. So the VPN Client doesn’t support combination of  cipher/hash (in this case, DES/SHA1)
But the VPN Client continues to support DES/MD5. However, support for DES/SHA is no longer available, and Release 3.7 and later VPN Clients cannot connect to any central-site device group that is configured for (or proposing) DES/SHA. The VPN Client must either connect to a different group or the system administrator for the central-site device must change the configuration from DES/SHA to DES/MD5 or another supported configuration.

Connection control operation failed for disk 'ide1:0'

I was getting this error while removing Operating System ISO image mounted on the Virtual Machine. What worked for me, is 1. Uncheck the "Connected and Connect at power on" from Device Status. 2. Then Change the Device type from " Datastore ISO File to Client Device " Radio Button 3. and press OK to save the changes. Note:- I was able to remove the mounted ISO only by directly logging to the ESXi at https://esxi-ip-address/ui where it asks "The guest operating system has locked the CD-ROM door and is probably using the CD-ROM, which can prevent the guest from recognizing media changes. If possible, eject the CD-ROM from inside the guest before disconnecting. Disconnect anyway and override the lock?" You need to select yes to eject the CD-ROM and then remove the ISO file successfully.

How to import Putty Saved Connections to mRemoteNG

Just started using mRemoteNG and its being very cool to connect to different remote connection with different protocols e.g Window Remote Desktop, VNC to Linux, SSH, HTTP connection etc. from a single application. As new user I configured some remote desktop connection which was quite easy to figure out. But when I wanted to add SSH connections, it came in my mind to import all of the saved connections in the putty. But I couldn't figure it out how can it be done, though it was quite easy and here are the steps. Open your mRemoteNG Create a folder if you want segregation of multiple networks Create a new connection Enter the IP address of remote server under connection in Config pane Under the config pane, select protocol " SSH version 2 ".  Once you select protocol to SSH version 2 you are given option to import putty sessions, as shown in the snap below. In the above snap, I have imported CSR-AWS session from my saved sessions in Putty.
