Starting the vpxclient.exe with command line switches or options

I would like to see all available options for starting the vpxclient (vCenter Client) with the command line. I am using the 4.1 client against 4.1 vCenter.

Thanks!

Here it is.

In case the page dissapear ... I copy the content here.

---------------------

-passthroughAuth = carries on currently logged on user credentials (use in conjunction with -s)
-s = server name
-u = username
-p = password

Here are a few examples:

"VpxClient.exe" -s esx01.company.com-u root -p MyPassword

"VpxClient.exe" -s esx01.company.com -passthroughAuth

---------------------

I like to create different shortcuts to the Client with the parameters already in, so I just need to double click to log in.

I also use it on the training kits, so students don't waste time on non-important things.
