Hi Dennis,

heres my point of view.

What you can do is bring back a single Admin frontend without refresh and caching issues where i can see the same good information as in c# client.

For real i dont care what i have to use but i dont use two webfrontends to see less usefull things than before.

Here some examples what you have done so far to make my job more difficult:

1. Remove maps and give us all "Related Objects" -> which is the hell of a nightmare if you just want to bring together scsi identifiers and wwns -> okay backend developer gave us esxcli to solve this.

2. The Download Folder button in Webclient 6.5 and /ui 6.5 doesnt work anymore and there is no client integration plugin for this job so i have to download single files?

3. with vc 5.5u3 and in higher editions i lost the ALUA Path information "Active" i can see after upgrade x Paths online but active is only visible with esxcli.

4. you waste time in the webconsoles and i have to deal with keyboard layout (pain in the ass!!!!) setting, proxy settings of the browser and so on.

5. on top you dont solve existing issues mentioned above you just programming a overlay for the 6th Power on Button on top of the console if your webclient is in the opinion the vm is powered off -> in my world 90% the vm is powered on and the messi console just loose the connection from time to time now i have to click in the console to wake up the console which results in an error message "This is not allowed in the current state" because your console think i want to power on the vm. What the hell i dont need 10k power on buttons i need a functional client interface.

6. Permission concept messed up -> doesnt seem to work to manage licenses even if i am member of sso admins, but sso admins are member of license admin group.

7. Errormessages in the vmotion dialog "page cannot displayed" (seen yesterday)

8. No permissions error in Tags panel (normally log in agaim work)

9. Permission Page empty in /ui client with vcenter admin role assigned

These are just my painpoints.
