      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can I use PowerCLI to manage VMs hosted by VMware Player?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;No. PowerCLI only works against vCenter or ESXi hosts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can I use it to manage VMs hosted by free ESXi hosts?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, but the free ESXi license only allows you to perform read-only actions, i.e. things like Get-VM, Get-Datastore etc. You can't actually change settings with writing cmdlets (New-VM, Set-VM etc).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
