Hi, it used to be that you could download the VI client from the ESX host, install it, then be on your way to managing your system. With ESXi 4.1, you have to have an Internet connection on your management PC and download the client from the vmware site. This took me about two hours. Plus I could not do the download on the management PC as it is in a lab with no Internet connectivity, so had to download ot elsewhere and copy the installer, which was 267 MB. I know it it a one time deal, as I can store the client installer on a shared drive so other clients can access it, but is the way it always been with ESXi? Thanks.
