I recently upgraded my lab server to ESXi 6.7. Everything worked fine until I tried to access my virtual machines using VMRC (Remote Console)
If I open VMRC trough Chrome or Firefox, It shows an authentication screen and it doesn't matter what I enter on it. never authenticates.
With browser console, it fails to connect to virtual machine console
And with new window browser console, it shows only the vmware logo page
I do not have this issue with Microsoft Edge or with Opera browsers.
Do you have any idea what it is happening?
Thank you for your attention.

I decided to completely remove Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and install them back. I also removed the self-signed certificates created by ESXi from my computer's certificate list. It fixed the issue.

Please remove any proxy settings from your browser and check if your chrome version is compatible.

I do not have any proxy server set. This is happening only in one computer, the second computer that I have is working fine with the same Chrome version.

The situation just became weirder.
I added a line on my computer hosts file to resolve my ESXi IP address to a hotsname
If I access the ESXi server using the hostname, the VMRC can connect to all virtual machines.
If I access the ESXi server using the IP address, the VMRC cannot connect to any virtual machine.

Please compare DNS settings and hosts file entries in both esxi.

The DNS settings and hosts file are equal. However, I noticed something that may give some hints about the issue.
On the browsers that VMRC or web console are not working, the login name that shows on the web page is root@root.
On the browsers that works, the login name that shows is root@
Somehow Chrome and Firefox are replacing the ESXi server ip address by the login name. I guess the consoles launched by both browsers are trying to connect to a host called "root" (which of course does not exist) instead of the host's IP address.

I suspect somewhere your dns entries went wrong. you are able to access it successfully with host name. Only IP is throwing issue. Please share below details.
i) nslookup for hostname from your client.
ii) hosts file entries for your client and esxi host.

I still did not find what is wrong. I suspect is something with my corporate notebook, because I found that it is not happening with my personal notebook.
As I mentioned before, I do not have this issue in my corporate notebook with Opera and Microsoft Edge. This is happening with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
When I login with the problematic browsers, both shows in the upper right corner the username as "root@root"
With the working browsers, the username shows as "root@192.168.1.2"
Using network tools I found that all remote consoles, when I run them from problematic browsers, are trying to connect to "root" hostname. The working browsers connects to "192.168.1.2" IP address.
It looks like, somehow, Chrome and Firefox are replacing the IP address by root during authentication process, and in all remote console connections.
I need some help.. I recently upgraded vCenter to 6.5 from 6, and I have yet to do my hosts. Anyway, I clicked on a virtual machine in the vSphere web client and there were two options: The first was to open the console in the web client and the other one was something like vm remote client. I clicked on that to see what it was and it just goes to a blank browser page with URL: "vmrc://clone:cst-VCT-5229c480-d8c9-f11f-1147-98. etc". It doesn't seem to work.
My issue is that now I am simply trying to get into the console using the web client instead, and I can seem to switch back from the vmrc thing.. every time I click on console, it goes to that vmrc URL which is a blank page..

You need to install VM Remote Console standalone application
VMRC is a default console option
Check this screenshot. That's how you should be able to open web based console. I am pretty sure you can google 'how to change the default console option'.
NetworkNerd
The remote console is the VMware Remote Console, which you can download and install on your machine (must use your myvmware credentials to download) so clicking the option to open in remote console for a VM will actually launch the VMware Remote Console application. I love using it far more than the web console. This may also help -
But if memory serves, when you click on the thumbnail of a VM's console, I was thinking there is an option that says specificallly web console. And there's also a way to set one of these as your default console (web or remote console) so that it will auto launch when you click open console. It sounds like you set the remote console as your default selection.
Ah, thanks vnomad! And thanks NetworkNerd!!

Secure way of transferring files
Hi all,I have 2 separate networks (separate DCs) that I need to be able to securely transfer files to and from, we currently have a Windows FTP set up to allow us to do this, which everyone has access to everyone's folder (as users need to be able to drop.
I'm using a Win 8.1 machine and would like to start using the web client so i don't have to keep remoting into the server where vSphere is hosted. When i open up the console on any VM, i'm just getting a black screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this? I don't want to break anything in vSphere so hoping it's just something i need to do on my machine for it to work
Any help appreciated, thanks

Is there a software or tool to restrict users from deleting files and folder?
Hi there I have been going through forum regarding restricting people from deleting the files. But dont think i have found any solution yet. I have a windows server, and would like to restrict people from deleting the files. Using NTFS permissions i know .

Conclusion
Being able to remote console to a virtual machine is, of course, an integral part of any admin’s job. Seeing the dreaded “Unable to connect to the MKS” message and being able to console can be highly frustrating more so when you need to fix something fast. In most cases, the problem lies with a firewall blocking one or more required ports and missing or bad DNS entries. For the rest, it’s usually enough to vMotion a VM to another host or restart the management agent on ESXi.

4. Permissions
Verify that the permissions set on the VM’s VMX file are set correctly (755). To check the permissions, run the command:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3995 Aug 18 10:00 Windows 7.vmx
We can see that the permissions are correctly set for the VMX file of a VM called Window 7.
If the VMX file permissions are not set to 755, run the following command:
chmod 755 ‘Windows 7.vmx’
Note: On ESXi 6.5, setting the permissions to read only had no effect so the permissions issues might only apply to older versions of ESXi.

3. Free Disk Space
If firewalling and DNS are not the culprit, verify that the partition where /var lives has enough free disk space. To do this, run df -h from an SSH session on the ESXi hosting the VM you’re trying to remote console to. Make sure that the partition where /var is located is not full.
Checking for free disk space on ESXi
Another command you could use is vdh -h .

1. Firewalls
Depending on the version of ESXi / vCenter Server installed, TCP ports 902, 903, 443 and 9443 need to be reachable when using the web based and standalone remote consoles. With vSphere 6.5, I managed to replicate a common problem where a personal firewall, or one sitting between the client computer and ESXi networks, is blocking one or more ports especially 902. To do this, I enabled the Windows firewall and created an outbound rule blocking 902 as shown.
Managing Microsoft Windows firewall rules
When the firewall rule is enabled, the following is what you get when trying to remote console to a virtual machine . The error message might differ slightly depending at which point the connection is dropped.
Remote console connection errors due to a firewall blocking ports 902 and 9443
Changing the firewall rule to Allow from Block fixes the “unable to connect to the mks” issue. Often, the lost ability to remote console occurs right after someone installs or rolls out security software incorporating a personal firewall. From my experience, other primary suspects include updates to group policies governing the Windows firewall and unannounced changes to ACLs on switches / routers. If you’re not the one administering the latter, talk to your colleagues to try and narrow down the source of the problem.
You can use netstat to verify that connections on port 902 are being established when you remote console to a VM. If you don’t see any entries, the issue is definitely firewall / network related. Another trick you can use is to telnet 902 from a command prompt or terminal. If you get a reply, it means that ESXi is listening on the port and ready for connections.
Using netstat to inspect network connections
If you’re not running a personal firewall, SSH to ESXi and temporarily disable the ESXi firewall by running esxcli network firewall set –enabled false. Verify that you can connect. If not, it’s a firewall sitting in between the management station and ESXi that’s dropping the connection.
If the problem persists after having ruled out firewalling as a problem source, move on to the next check.
What is MKS?
MKS stands for Mouse, Keyboard and Screen. In vSphere, you can remote console to VMs using the standard vSphere clients and products such as VMware Workstation.
In pre-6.5 vSphere releases, you can use the legacy vSphere client which has now been deprecated for a long time. As shown next, just highlight the virtual machine you want to connect to and click on the Console tab. Alternatively, right-click on the VM and select Open Console . The latter method opens a stand-alone console window for you.
Remote console using the vSphere Client
If you have vCenter installed, the vSphere Web Client provides you with two remote console options, these being VMRC (the standalone VMware Remote Console) and the Web Console .
You can change the default virtual console by clicking on your user in the top right corner > My Preferences > Default Console > You can then select the web or vmrc as your default console.
You also get both options directly underneath the preview of the VM screen in the VM view. VMRC is installed by following the link given in vSphere client or by downloading it from here .
NOTE: Users who have VMware Workstation installed will have noticed that selecting Launch Remote Console brings up Workstation’s VMRC instead of the standalone one. To override this behavior, uninstall the standalone VMRC and reinstall it back.
Back to vSphere Web Client, clicking on the VM’s console screen or selecting Open Console from the VM’s context menu will launch the default remote console.
Choose between the web console and VMRC.
Remote console using the host client (ESXi embedded)
Interestingly, you can configure a virtual machine such that you connect to it using a remote client such as tightVNC. To do this, add the following lines to the VM’s configuration ( Edit Settings -> VM Options tab -> Advanced Settings -> Edit Configuration ). You must disable the ESXi firewall for this to work or add a rule to allow 5900 through, this being the default VNC port. If memory serves me right, this worked with ESXi 5.x versions but to be honest, I had little time to try it out on 6.x. With ESXi 6.5, I manage to establish a connection but it keeps asking for a password regardless of the one specified in the VM’s configuration.

The client does not install on the host machine, therefor you cannot do what you are asking.
Try Open-VMConsoleWindow -VM "(server)". This should open a console in your default browser.
I want to open the console in the software
I don't understand, it looks like you already have a thick client console open.
If you're using powerCLI the command I gave you should open a web console in your default browser. Otherwise you'll need to use the web console or thick client and manually open a console.
Thats is my exact question, how do I open the "Thick Client" console via CMD or PowerCLI
Is it possible to open the THICK CLIENTS CONSOLE from CMD or powershellCLI??
I don't believe it's possible to open a thick client console. You can change the browser the console window opens in with "set-powercliconfiguration -vmconsolewindowbrowser "(browser path)\(browser.exe)"". I tried setting the browser to the vmware thick client exe, but it just opened in the vmware remote console (plugin for web console), not the thick client.
If you install the VMware Remote Console (html5 console) you can access it from C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe. Set the vmconsolewindowbrowser to it using the command in the previous post.
Thank you very much for your efforts, but opening the console in the thick client is whats wanted. Having the console open up in a browser maybe too much for my customer to deal with, being they have minimal knowledge of computers.
But I am going to give the Remote Console a try and see if it will satisfy their wants.

Secure way of transferring files
Hi all,I have 2 separate networks (separate DCs) that I need to be able to securely transfer files to and from, we currently have a Windows FTP set up to allow us to do this, which everyone has access to everyone's folder (as users need to be able to drop.
When was the last time you tried to remote console to a VM only to be greeted with the annoying Unable to connect to the MKS or similar message? Some of the causes leading to this issue range from firewalls blocking the required ports, badly configured DNS, and ESXi services in need of a restart. Today’s post explores a number of ways you can use to remote console to a VMware virtual machine and what you can do when remote connections fail, and you are unable to connect to the MSK .
Speaking of firewalls, adding a persistent firewall rule to ESXi can be daunting. I discuss how to do this in How to create persistent firewall rules on ESXi .
What can go wrong and how to fix it
Some of the MKS errors (for instance, vmware unable to connect to the mks internal error) you might see are as follows:
- Error connecting: Host address lookup for server failed: The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for.
- Error connecting: cannot connect to host : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because the connected host has failed to respond.
- Error connecting: You need to execute access in order to connect with the VMware console. Access denied for config file.
- Unable to connect to MKS: Failed to connect to server IP:903.
5. If nothing else works!
If none of the above worked, try doing the following:
- Check that the time on ESXi is set correctly and in sync with the rest of the infrastructure.
- vMotion the VM you’re unable to remote console to, to another ESXi host and retry.
- Restart the management agents on ESXi as per the following KB .
- Reboot the VM.
- Reboot ESXi.
Note: Sometimes to fix if vmware remote console is unable to connect to the mks is as trivial as pressing a key while the focus is given to the console window. This was common with older versions of the legacy client and vSphere releases where nothing is displayed in the VM’s console window. Hitting Enter or another key usually brings the console back to life. An alternative fix is to launch the console in its own window by right-clicking on it and selecting Open Console .

2. DNS
Connection to remote console can also be impeded if ESXi and vCenter Server hostnames do not resolve correctly. To determine correct DNS resolution, use ping < ESXi hostname > or nslookup to verify that your ESXi and vCenter Server hostnames are resolving to the correct IP addresses and, likewise, to the correct hostnames. If the issues persists, try adding your ESXi hosts and IP addresses to \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts , run ipconfig /flushdns and retry.
