I'm having an issue getting this to work. It's configured and if I run sbttest it works fine(the SBT API test was successful) but when I run the test through Enterprise Manager I get:

Dude!
Apparently you need to go into the BIOS setting of your computer. Normally you would have to press a certain key right after your computer reboots or starts. Usually there is also a brief message about which key to press in order to enter your system's BIOS (not inside vmware). Is this what you tried?

I found the following in Google that seems to match your case:

http://www.petri.co.il/virtual_run_a_64_bit_guest_operating_system_in_vmware.htm

"In my case, I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 with an Intel 64bit processor. The VMware 64-bit compatibility tool told me that my computer was capable of running a 64-bit Guest, however, when I went to run it, I was told this: I found that I had to go into my BIOS and enable my Intel VT VMM capabilities. After I did that and rebooted my system, I was able to run my 64-bit OS using my already installed VMware Server."

Yes I have tried that using F2 key to bring up the BIOS and when I bring up the system BIOS, I just can't same to fine where I need to enable VT. The first 3 options in SYSTEM can not be edited.

I have the same system - I will appreciate if you enter your BIOS again and find a specific area where I can enable VT.

Thank you
Dude!
I found it on Google - I don't have such system myself.

Please check the following link. It should contain the info you need including BIOS screenshots:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/18593269/19549083.aspx

Q: Does GX620's BIOS A11 support Intel Virtualization Technology?
A: Yes.

In the BIOS-> scroll down to Performance Section-> Virtualisation

When I scroll down peerformance, Virtualization is NOT part of the options listed. Here are list of options under performance in my GX620:

-Hyper-Threading
-SpeedStep
-Limit CPUID Value
-HDD Accoustic Modes

My GX620 has BIOS A06 - does that support VT or can I update from A06 to A11?

Dude!
Current firmware seems to be A11 (2006), yours is A06. Seems like you need to update your BIOS.
