Q about vmware server

I have downloaded and installed vmware server. I don,t find any way to open vmware server console.

All I could found was a short cut named vmware server home page. When I click it, it opens my browser and asks for a password that i never made.

Any help pls?

Thanks

 

VMware Server uses the credentials of your Windows installation, that is Windows account system.

 

Sorry to bump this old thread. I have used VMware server and there used to be a console where you can create your VMs. I don,t find anything like that.

I was able to put my login name and password but next to that I did not find any options to create a VM. I am confused.

 

VMware Server 2 uses a web interface to do this ... quite not intuitive.

You need to do this via browser, go to VMware Server port (902), then you'll be able to do the stuff you need. I don't like VMware Server 2. It's bloated and slow, especially the tomcat (apache/java) web component. I'm using 1.x.x still.

Hi aigle, after clicking your home page shortcut the console should appear and you can enter your credentials.

edit : as Mrk said VMWare Server uses 902 as default (are you blocking anything here) and web management.

 

Hmm.. Ok, thanks. Got it working to the extent that I constructed a VM but could not boot it. I think I will not be using it any more. I did not like the way it,s working.

 

Try version 1.0.x, it's faster and uses normal console.

Oh thanks, will try it.
