VMware Remote Console

Edit me

In order to access VMs through the vSphere Web Client, you should install the VMware Remote Console (VMRC). The VMRC replaces the VMware Client Integration Plugin (CIP), a NPAPI based plugin that provided enhanced functionality to the vSphere Web Client. While the VMware Remote Console is installed as a standalone application, it must be launched from the vSphere Web Client.
