The majority of settings are available in the graphical user interface (GUI), though sometimes you may need to get some information or change a configuration that is not displayed in the GUI. You also have the VMware vSphere Web/HTML5 Client that can be used on any machine, as it is web-based and can be accessed through a web browser. This UI is the VMware vSphere Client, a standalone application allowing you to manage ESXi hosts and your VMware environment on Windows OS machines. To manage ESXi servers, you can use the graphical user interface provided by VMware.
