Virtual Server management tool - VMRCPlus now available

As mentioned here - VMRCplus is a free tool that allows you to use Virtual Server without having the web interface installed - and it is now available for download.

Now to add a bit of background for those of you wondering where the heck this tool came from - and why it is being released now.

VMRCplus was originally developed by on of our testers, Paul Despe.  He originally developed solely for his own uses - but he made it available internally for people to use.  Well -as happens - from time to time someone outside of Microsoft would see someone using this tool and go "Wow - can I get that?".  The problem was that the tool wasn't really "end user ready" and Paul shifted onto testing Windows Server virtualization a while ago - so could not justify the work needed to bring it up to the necessary quality.

Thankfully, Matthijs ten Seldam, a consultant at Microsoft offered to take over the project and to do the work to get it ready for others to use - and now we are here.

Enjoy.

Cheers,
Ben

    Nice product, but this from the documentation is rather limiting: "VMRCplus can manage a workgroup server when installed locally on the host. Management of remote workgroup servers however is not possible. The Virtual Server COM API does not provide a form of ‘connect as’ when connecting to a remote host."

    I am glad to see this tool got released! I loved this tool when I helped support Virtual Server as a contractor at Microsoft. This also makes it a lot easier to test "alternate OS" VMs running under Virtual Server (for SCSI support) than through the webpage.

    I'm having loads of problems with VMRCplus. Any time something bad happens to a server I'm monitoring VM on it throws all manner of errors. It regularly hangs as well. I use it on several machines on a number of unconnected domains and keep seeing the same problems. It really is a great tool but I'm afraid it doesn't have the quality I normally associate with Microsoft products.

    Jayne - Indeed, it is not a Microsoft product.  It is a tool made by two guys at Microsoft - which has not been through the Microsoft release process. Cheers, Ben
