Thanks for all feedback. I'll post more on auth/trust scenarios and such in the near future.

Yes, I plan to add more features, fix bugs and such.

There have been thousands of downloads already within a couple of days so I am currently wating for bugs and prioritize those. Then I'll look at new features, wish lists, etc.

As a big fan of Virtual Server on the client (for development work), I was ecstatic to learn about VMRC Plus! Finally, I can manage my VHD-based VMs without being forced to choose between usability (Virtual PC) and scalability/performance (Virtual Server). It's almost good enough to make me dump VMware Workstation.

My only remaining gripes are the general sluggishness of the VMRC client protocol and the lack of drag & drop support to/from VMRC session windows (again, a protocol limitation). However, the upside is much improved scheduling/multitasking vs. Virtual PC and without all of the complexity and quirkiness of VMware 6.0.

Note: I put in a major plug for VMRC Plus at the InfoWorld web site. Check it out:

Great Job!

Great tool! Thank you so much for getting this out where the public can take advantage of it.

2 enhancements I'd love:

1.) an authentication mechanism to allow connnecting across domains that don't have a trust relationship.

2.) better handling of paths when adding a new disk to a remotely hosted VM.
