Hi Ulli

The two remaining questions that you seem to need answering are:

1.Linux version of vmware-vmrc has the selection dialog but Windows version does not. This was documented on the archived Server 2 beta forum.

2. To make VMware Player do this copy the vmware-remotemks.exe from the plugin folder to the directory containing player,and it works.

For Windows I would suggest the following oneliner script to be executed on Linux server hosting vmware server 2.0

vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | awk '{print "echo @start C:

Program Files

VMwareVMRC

vmware-vmrc.exe -h :8333 -u
\"root
\" -p
\"
\" -m
\""$3" "$4"
\" > "$2".bat"}' | sh

This script basically retrieve all the VM defined on your vmware server host and create as many launching .bat files as are your VMs. Simply copy the so obtained .bat files on your Windows box and you should then be able to launch each VM simply double clicking on the corresponding .bat file.

Cheers.
