In his latest article for MCPMag.com, Chris Wolf says VMRCplus is a handy little tool for remotely managing MS Virtual Server and its virtua machines.
If you’re running Microsoft Virtual Server within your organization, you should take a moment to download VMRCplus. VMRCplus is a free tool that offers improved remote management of Virtual Server VMs and allows you to remotely manage the Virtual Server service as well. Granted, VMRCplus does not have all of the bells and whistles of System Center Virtual Machine Manager, but it’s free. By itself, Virtual Server 2005’s Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC) client allows users to remotely connect to virtual machines and perform tasks such as starting and stopping VMs.
VMRCplus can do much more than VMRC. With VMRCplus, you can:
- View VM performance information in real time
- Create and manage virtual networks
- Create and manage virtual hard disks
- View the Virtual Server event log
- Create new VMs or add existing VMs to Virtual Server
- Configure a VM’s virtual hardware settings
- Configure the Virtual Server security settings
