To use the VMRC without the vSphere Web Client, you will need to construct the VMRC URI which looks like the HOST = the hostname or IP address of the ESXi server This provides a way for users of free ESXi to access ESXi-hosted VMs via a remote console session without needing to run either the Windows vSphere client or VMware Fusion Professional. This application is designed to complement the browser-based console for vSphere users by providing a native application for launching a remote console session with a vSphere-hosted virtual machine.Ī nice bonus is that the VMRC application can also connect to an ESXi server which is using VMware’s free license for ESXi.

VMware recently released a Virtual Machine Remote Console (VMRC) application for OS X users.
