Ok... I've solved it, turns out it was something simple and nothing to do with VMplayer what-so-ever...
It was a policy setting I missed during configuration that allows direct access to CD/DVD devices using RDP(Remote Desktop Protocol)...
For anyone having this issue here is the solution,
In the local Group Policy editor, go into Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Removable Storage Access
Enable the policy "All Removable Storage: Allow direct access in remote sessions"
Can not belive I missed this... oh well back to playing with my new toys, In and around you,
