talksr Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Hi there, My own computer failed the other day. All of my data was backed up which was great. I have re-built it and I am in the process of installing software. Software like the VMWare ESXi for Windows. I used to log into my VMWare host and just download it. When I log in, I am presented with this: When I click details, I get this: If I close and reload, it just takes me to the login screen again. As this is the free version, I won't get any support. Does anyone know how I can overcome this. I am using Chrome but have also tried IE. Thanks in advance.
Davit2005 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I find this issue if it is the same. Don't hit enter after password, click log in. 2

Davit2005 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Thank you very much. That did the job! :-) Not sure why it does it, I only use ESXi at home and no longer for a job but it does it on the full version to. 1

talksr Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 Thanks everyone. Very helpful. It seems it has changed since I last used it and did the update. I used to connect to it via the web browser and then download the Windows software that allowed me to view the console windows of the VMs. But this doesn't seem downloadable now. Does anyone know where I can get it?
kmount Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 The old vSphere windows client is gone I’m afraid... 1

This will give you the ability to get to the console of the VMs. Yes it is a bit of a shame moving a way from the Thick Client INMO as I've used VMWare since ESX3.5 a lot has changed. I'm not over keen on 6.7 web interface personaly but moving away from flash is a good move. 1
