The games have begun. Bouke and I are in sort of a contest who will build the most fancy Virtual Machine MKS Client. Bouke calls his creation the KVM-Tool, my application goes under the name VMware MKS Client. So it’s the KVM-Tool versus the Virtual Machine MKS Client from now on. No more code sharing and no more walks during lunch breaks
. I don’t know when Bouke is going to deliver his first beta version because we are only communicating through our weblog posts from now on
. What I do know is that my beta version is ready. You can download it here. Have fun with it.









Wish List
- Detect and allow control over the state of the VM (power off, suspend, power on, reset).
- Detect if a VM has any CD/DVD devices configured to connect to the Client Device and allow the Client Device to be connected to local drive or ISO.
That would make your program extremely useful for scenarios where you need to allow someone admin access to a VM(s) without giving them access to VC. Excellent work so far!
BTW, I found out about your software via the RTFM Education site.
