VMware

Since all versions of VMware can use VNC to control the Guest how about adding a management part that would keep track of the ports, username and password that get added to the VMX file. It could generate the the three lines that need to be added to the vmx file. It would be a manual process but absolutely simplify the process of keeping track of port numbers and passwords. I outlined the lines that need to be add in Tips and Tricks.

Time out avoidance

I have noticed using certain tools that if the workstation does not respond, it does not give up. One of these is the "execute remote command" I wanted to execute a command on all workstations. So I selected all the workstations and ran the "check VNC/RDP server status" From this I sorted with the ones that "were alive" by ping. I then selected all these workstations and ran the Execute Remote Command. I started running against three workstations and the froze up. I have also noticed this on only doing only one workstation. If it can not run the remote command, it freezes up and I need to kill the task and restart the manager.
I have noticed with with other commands, so it would be nice if the manager would just give up after a time and return control back to the manager.

Thanks

Portable

How about a portable version. It doesn't look like there is much stored in the registry. This is an application so well suited to portability. Being able to carry a USB drive to the data center rather than a laptop would be lovely.

Focus after new computer registration

I am using ver 4.5.2. The problem is after I register a new computer, I will click on the ping or some other built in tool. Instead of pinging just the computer I created (which is gray highlighted), it proceeds to ping every workstation in the group. I have to make a conscience effort to click on the workstation (so it is blue highlighted) after the creation, then click on the tool I want to run.

If the focus can be changed to the newley created computer after registering it would be great.

Thanks for the great product!

Observations.
SSH client doesn't seem to fail when connection doesn't connect. I use SSH on another port. If I try connecting on port 22 I end up with a black screen but it doesn't fail the connection since sshd isn't listening on port 22.

Any chance that you will be adding port forwarding for ssh. ;)

THANK YOU.
