VMRCPlus 1.6 released

What is VMRCplus?

VMRCplus is a tool for both configuration management of Virtual Server and remote control of virtual machines. It allows for local and remote management of Virtual Server and supports simultaneous management of up to 32 Virtual Server hosts.

VMRCplus does not require IIS to manage Virtual Server.

The first version that was available to the public was version 1.5.

What is new in v1.6? As noted from here:

1. To reflect the terminology used in the web administration UI of Virtual Server, the terminology of VMRCplus has been updated.

2. VMRCplus now offers configuration of scripts on both the Virtual Server and Virtual Machine level. This was missing from the previous release.

3. VMRCplus offers configuring promiscuous mode on the network so you can trace traffic in the virtual switch. This is something Virtual Server does not offer in the web administration UI.

4. Minor enhancements like storage of Console Manager coordinates, conflict handling when a shortcut already exists (something Virtual Server fails to resolve).

5. The COM and LPT port assignment logic has been fixed (most of it did not work).

6. The x86 installer package no longer installs on x64. This has been done to prevent issues with 32-bit VMRCplus on 64-bit Virtual Server.

7. Error handling has been enhanced and several issues have been fixed.

Hint: I never touch the native Virtual Server interface anymore. I only use this.
