    Hello guys,

    I used to have installed in my laptop the Vmware Vsphere Client (vpxclient.exe) software to access each host individually, when needed. 

    But I changed my laptop and now I am trying to download this software and could not find it anywhere. Do you know if it was discontinued? If so, how do you access the host like with vpxclient.exe?

    Thank you in advance.

    What version of ESXi are your hosts running?

    Hello.

    In versions 6.5 and 6.7 we have 2 clients to connect to the vcenter server or ESXi Host:
    vSphere web client (Adobe Flash)
    vSphere client (HTML5)

    vSphere web client (Adobe Flash)

    A browser (32bits) with the Adobe Flash player plugin is required.

    To use the vSphere Web Client (Flash), enter the URL:

    https://ip_address of VC/vsphere-client

    vSphere client (HTML5)

    A browser that supports HTML5 is required

    To use the vSphere Client (HTML5), enter the URL:

    vSphere Client - HTML5 (https://FQDN-or-IP-Address-of-VC/UI)

    Host Client - HTML5 (https://FQDN-or-IP-Address-of-ESXi-host/UI)

    VMware announced in May 2016 that the Legacy C# Client (aka thick client, desktop client, or vSphere Client) will no longer be available with the vSphere 6.5 release
