ESX Version: 5.5 U2
vCenter Version: 5.5 U2
vCenter OS: 2012 R2
IE Version: 11
Hardware: HP DL360 G6
Shockwave Flash Version 15.0.0
VMware Client Support Plugin: 5.5.0.41167
VMware Remote Console Plugin Version: 5.5.0.33711
JAVA Version: JRE 8u25
OK, I spun up a 3 host Cluster with the above versions.
I can log into vCenter fine and all the host are joined in the cluster fine
When I connect to a VM's console from the web client using Internet Explorer, all I get is the circular progress rotating and it never connects/opens the console.
I did install the client integration and the Flash player is version 15 with 2012 Server. I also added the vCenter Server in the website security exceptions and in FireFox allowed the plugins for Shockwave Flash, VMware Client Support 5.5 and VMware Remote Console Plugin are set to "Always Activate".
FireFox 25 works but I need to make IE work because it is the decided on "Supported Browser" of our department of 1000+ PC's.
Now, the hosts are all connected to the same switch on the same router and are all on the same subnet. There is no blocking of any ports by the router or switches. The Firewall is turned off on the vCenter Server.
Any ideas?
Thanks
