My colleague Rob Mallicoat pointed me to this cool tool by the clever folks over at xtravirt. It's a RDP Plugin for the vSphere client, allowing you to right-click and RDP to the VM from there. Cool! Free!
The Xtravirt vSphere RDP Plug-in provides integration of the Windows Remote Desktop tool with the VMware vSphere Client.
Utilising Remote Desktop to connect virtual machines provides a better user experience compared to the built-in VMware console as well as performing better across WAN connections.
System Requirements
- VMware vCenter Server version 4 and above
- Version 4.0.0 or greater of the VMware vSphere Client
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
- Version 7.0 or greater of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client
Download File Contents
- vSphere RDP Plug-in installation software
- Install and User Guide
Screenshots
Known Issues
- Windows 7 and Vista with UAC enabled. In order to correctly run the plug-in, the vSphere client requires to run with the "Run as Administrator" option, or disable UAC.
