Over the past years NTPRO.NL has launched several products which can help the virtualization administrator with controlling their environment. NTPRO.NL is a independent software vendor specialized in creating PowerShell scripts. Using this new Microsoft automation tool we've designed software which is very useful to help you deliver innovative services. The PowerShell scripts can be integrated into the Virtualization EcoShell which gives you direct control over your environment.
A few examples of scripts we already have integrated into the Virtualization EcoShell are CPUID info, CPU Ready and Creating Linked clones. The complete PowerPack is available at Codeplex, a Community provided PowerPack for use with VESI and PowerGUI. This community provided PowerPack is a collection of multiple scripts to enable the ultimate in VMware management using PowerCLI and PowerShell.
Recently NTPRO.NL has released a new product called the vmClient, it’s a lightweight tool which enables you to control the power of your virtual machines, it’s also capable of presenting the MKS console of your virtual machines. Before you can use the vmClient, you have to install the vSphere client on the same system. After starting the vmClient, you can logon to your vCenter server or individual ESX4 or ESX4i host. A list with available virtual machines will be presented after choosing the Virtual Machines menu item, you can also easily identify the power state of the virtual machines. Grey is powered off, green is powered on, yellow is suspended and red indicates that the virtual machine has an alarm. When you’re working in an RDP session there’s a menu item which can generate a Ctrl-Alt-Del in the guest OS instead of pressing Ctrl-Alt-Ins. The vmClient can run without borders in borderless mode. The menu bar has an option to search for virtual machines, just type in the first characters of your virtual machine name and the list will be filtered.
