Comment on ESXi Embedded Host Client by Martin Cleaver

> Can you attempt a connection from Host Client and then look at the VMRC log file in ~/Library/Logs/VMware\ Remote\ Console/vmware-vmrc.log to see what is happening?

I see repeated lines:

2016-04-14T07:11:23.163-05:00| VMware Remote Console| I125: USB-CCID: SCardListReaders with 0 len failed: SCARD_E_NO_SERVICE(0x8010001d).

Seems very strange.

> If you quit VMRC, does it even open if you try to open a console from the Host Client in Chrome?

No. It works only from the command line.

Is there a way to gather the moid from the UI?

open ‘vmrc://user:password@[10.6.42.101]/?moid=vm-2’ does open the Remote Console, but I need the ID

FWIW, the browser is seeing this main.js error Line 21065:52 undefined is not an object evaluating r.classList :
