Overview

A VMWare guest task is used for an individual guest operating system or numerous guest operating systems running on multiple virtual machines.

External library

The VMWare Tasks require download and install of the VMWare VIX API on the VisualCron server:

In the VMWare Tasks you can connect to VMWare Workstation or to a remote VMWare server (vSphere) depending on the Task type. The Connection sub tab is the same for all VMWare Task types — see Start VM for the field-by-field description.
