With iMKS installed as an ESXi "Helper VM" you can open Remote Consoles, attach CD media, and interact with VM's as if it were a real service console. The VMware RemoteCLI and latest RemoteMKS (from VMware Player 2 RC1) integrate to allow work on an ESXi box (Or VI3 / ESX 2.x / Server 1.x / RDP) from a PC / Mac / Linux / Solaris Desktop -- And it's all encrypted over port 443.

In the future I'd like to hack VMware-WebAccess into iMKS so it can provide full GUI management of ESXi. But for now, it's at least possible to administer ESXi with iMKS -- Something which (formally) was a "Windows Only" activity.

Other Changes to iMKS:

  • Updated to Wine 1.0
  • Included winetricks
  • Updated VMware Remote Console from Server 2.0 RC1
  • Embedded VMware Remote CLI
  • Various other tweaks and improvements under the hood

I was looking at a TSclientX update and found iMKS from your web site. It is a really amazing work and I am now testing it in real life conditions.
A real great product.
