Hi:
I'm a newbie to 6.7. I have a host server running ESXi 6.7.0 build-16075168. I tried to connect to host using vSphere Client (I guess C#) vers. 6.0.0 Build 51112508. It won't connect. Is there a newer version of vSphere Client? Or, is the only GUI way to connect via browser to IP address? I guess this by default would use the HTML5 vSphere Client vs. "vShpere Web Client?"
Thank you!
Bob H.
The "fat" client based on C# has been dropped since ESXi 6.5 in favour of the HTML5 web client.

HI bluefirestorm:
Got it, thanks!
When I connect to my ESXi host using the latest version of Chrome is that the fully featured "Fling" by default, i.e. the embedded web client that ESXi 6.7 serves up in the browser, or do I need to install a Chrome extension or some OVA appliance to get the fully feature HTML5 Fling client?
Thank you,
Bob H.
When you point your browser to (https://ESXi host>/ui) that is the embedded host client. Don't think any plugin would be required; although I think add-ons might install their own plug-in. If I am not mistaken, VMware's own VMRC installs a browser plug-in.
Yes, the HTML5 client is a pain
Beside the nagging for certificates the usability is not there and so are the missing capabilities
I posted apetition to have it back but I suppose it is hidden by vmware.
Where did you post your "petition"?
This thread then: petition to have vSphere Client application on ESXi 7.x
Definitely not hidden or removed.
