I am considering using VMware on my server, is there a plugin that will let me view the VM over the network. my server is headless and i use Remote desktop on it, would be cool if theres a identical app to let me into a VM box.
 
You treat a virtual machine the same as a physical machine.
If you RDP into a physical box now, you can RDP into a virtual box

VMWare itself has a console app you use to manage the vm server/host.
 
version 2.0 runs on the server machine, but you have to access it through the http server, even on the local machine. You interact with the VMs running on the server through a browser plugin, it sounds like this is the type of thing you want.
 
Here at work I have to use a vm to connect to exchange management console, blackberry console and AD. We just drop it on a external harddrive and I plug it up to run it if thats an option.
 
If I'm understanding you correctly you want to run vm from a server or share it from a server? If you want to share it just make the vm and put it on the server and us vm player to launch it from that directory.
 
VMWare Virtual Infrastructure for ESX provides a real console to virtual machines, and is a required component. Otherwise, you would RDC or ssh or what have you into your Win2k3/Win2k8/etc server for console access under VMWare Server Console.
 
i tried the free VM player by pointing it @ the directory of the installed VM, and it didnt like that the file was over 2 gbs.....
 
What file was over 2gb's? I use player and I think all but an Ubuntu appliance have files over 2gb in size...
 
Use vmware EXSi...its free now
it just installs on bare metal. Then you have your vms installed directly on that. its a lot faster then installing vmware server on top of a windows install and then installing vms on that.
After you install that it will point you to a link to download and install vmware infrastructure client 2 on your desktop. This will allow you to control all of the vms on the esxi box.

BTW all this is free and is a much better way to go about things then intalling a hypervisor on a host OS.
