It’s baked into Windows now, so it must be updated through Windows Update/WSUS/SCCM. You can’t be sneaky and download the offline Flash Player.

Fully patch the server before proceeding.

If it does not appear, or you get a Flash Player error/icon, then you haven’t run Windows update recently on the computer. Refresh the web page and the login box should appear. This is because IE is blocking Flash player. The web page will likely come up blank white page. Open IE and navigate to the URL for the web client: YourFQDN:9443/vsphere-client. If IE Enhanced Security is on, turn it off.Ģ. The web client is very picky about what version of Flash is installed.ġ. If that feature is not enabled (and subsequently fully patched by Windows update/WSUS/SCCM), Flash will be non-functional or outdated. If you skipped over my vCenter VM provisioning section, you must have the Desktop Experience enabled for Flash to work. Unfortunately the web client is Flash based (terrible idea, should use HTML5), and Microsoft built flash player into Windows 8/WS2012 (also a terrible idea IMHO). Using IE on Windows Server 2012 requires a bit of reconfiguration to enable it to work with the web client. All values should be pre-configured for you. Each time you will be asked to confirm details such as the certificate path, username and password. On the next menu first select option 4, and after that completes, select option 6. Wait a few minutes after the installer is done so the web services can start up.

The installer was then ready to install so I clicked Install. All were issued from my trusted CA, so I clicked Install Certificates.ħ. In my case three certificates were listed: Root, intermediate, and the SSO service. Another window should pop up that lists some certificates. Scroll all the way down and verify the hashes match. Double click on the rui.crt file in your vCenter SSO and go to the Details tab. If you have already replaced your SSO certificate, as covered in Part 10, then we can verify the web client is using the trusted SSO certificate. The web client should now pop up with a hash value of the lookup service certificate. Verify that the lookup service URL is correct.ĥ. Enter the SSO password that you entered during the SSO configuration. So I would urge you not to change the path if you want a functional system.Ĥ. There’s a long standing issue (since 5.1) with the web client that it will only function on the C drive. Accept the license agreement then we see the Destination Folder. Now you may be thinking, like I did, ok let’s install this on the D drive. On the installer screen select vSphere Web Client then click Install.Ģ. Mount your vCenter 5.5 ISO and launch the installer.
to the Toolkit script: /toolkit55 Install Web Clientġ.

SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Failover Cluster for vCenter Getting IE 10 on Windows Server 2012 can be a bit frustrating to get working with the web client, so I’ll go over that as well. There is one installation gotcha that I elaborate on below. Installation and SSL certificate replacement is straight forward. In this post we will install the web client and replace the SSL certificates with trusted ones, by using the VMware certificate tool. Remember the web client is the only way to modify hardware v10 VMs. Yes, today SRM and parts of VUM still need the Windows client. I suspect in vSphere 6.0 the Windows VI client as we know it will not exist. In fact, the Windows VI client now comes up with a big warning that it’s going the way of the dodo bird when you launch it. The web client is the new and strongly preferred mechanism to manage your vSphere environment.
