I copied a development Virtual Machine with Ignition 8.02 from an internal HDD to an external HDD. Now whenever I open a window (in Designer on the same VM) with OPC connections I get the errors in the attached screenshot and all objects show the RED color.

The OPC connection shows no fault and enabled.

I tried creating new objects with same results.

Fixed it, I had to remove the OPC Connection and recreated it. Also since I moved the VM and it was borrowing some FactoryTalk Activations (Rslinx Gateway) I also had to re-borrow it.
