PowerGUI now plugs into VMware Infrastructure Client. To be precise, starting with version 1.5.1 the setup has VMware Client Integration component which registers both PowerGUI and PowerGUI Script Editor as VI Client plugins.
PowerGUI admin console and script editor can be started right within VI Client
The cool thing is that when you start them from VI client they automatically inherit your current connection to VMware infrastructure, so all your VMware management scripts or PowerGUI nodes/actions just work without asking you to connect first – no more additional prompts, having to type the password, etc. – you are already in and everything just works!
I have also updated the VMware PowerPack so it is compatible with the RTM version of VI Toolkit and PowerGUI 1.5.1 – so do not forget to download it too.
Enjoy and please submit your feedback so we keep making the pack even better!
