VMRC Plus - finally available to the public - admin Virtual Server without IIS!

I have seen videos that had VMRCPlus used to control Virtual Server VMs and had always wanted to grab a copy because I have always found VS's IIS web interface very clunky at best. I spotted over here that they have finally released a 32-bit and 64-b

Thanks for developing the fantastic tool for VS.

And is there any auth choice for VS server connection? Seems different domain's auth cannot be completed in VMRCplus.

Having no support is fine ... if you can get the tool to work ;-). It is a bit frustrating if you cannot even connect to your VM server.

A couple of feedback points from a colleague who has been able to get it to work:

1 – When you run VMRC+ from a remote machine. You have to be logged in the same domain where the VS host resides and with an account that has permissions to VS. I know this is good security but the program needs to have an option to let you specify another account to use.

2 – There is no warning when installing the 32 bit version in a 64 bit system. It installs fine and then it loads and quickly shuts down with no warning. Many people will be doing this mistake as we start to deploy 64 bit OSs. I have found that many utilities, updates and services packs come in 64 and 32 bit and the majority don’t check for it and once you get them installed, they don’t work.

Good questions. See http://blogs.technet.com/matthts/archive/2007/06/29/vmrcplus-is-here.aspx for the new location to ask questions. Matthijs started a blog so hopefully he'll have time to answer some of them and take enhancement requests.

Be brave. Download the tool.

re: VMRCPlus goes public - download now

Whitney Roberts — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 04:48:22 GMT

I don't understand why this program cannot accept alternate credentials for connecting to the Virtual Server when the regular VMRC can.

I read in the help file where 'untrusted' authentication isn't supported by the VS COM API, hence it isn't used by VMRC+. However, the regular VMRC does it, so there must be a way.

This is the #1 reason why this tool, although awesome, is not usable for consultants and those who are not a member of any certain domain *ever*.

Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the tool... I just don't see why this feature couldn't be 'lifted' from the VMRC code, because *someone* at MS obviously got this to work.

re: VMRCPlus goes public - download now

Keith Combs — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 06:07:51 GMT

Whitney, have you asked the developer this question? His blog address is provided just above this comment in my previous comment and at the top of the article.

If you have asked and he has not answered in a reasonable amount of time, let me know and I'll get the answer.

And for the record, I agree that it needs to work in a multi domain based environment so you can support your customers in a secure manner. However, it needs to be secure.

JasonBuffington — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 17:23:09 GMT

WOW - this looks very cool. I confess to mostly using VPC over MSVS - really for only one feature:

Alt-PrintScreen

I frequently need to capture the active window for documentation - and you cant do it from the VS console, VMRC, or even Terminal Client. You can from the VPC desktop.

If that is in VMRCplus ... I may have to switch to MSVS full time!!! Nice work Matthijs.

Ken Wallewein — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:28:37 GMT

Authentication is a significant issue.

I do not normally log into my local workstation as a domain administrator. As a result (it appears), I get the rather generic and largely useless "does not exist/unavailable/permissions" error message.

Further, using "Run As" doesn't appear to work either. I was surprised at that. And RDP is not a great alternative.

This, to me, is the single biggest issue with VMRC+. And it's a shame, because we could sure use it.
