→Launching the VMM Administrator Console
Alternatively, for those who prefer the command prompt, the VMM Administrator Console may be launced from a command prompt window by launching the VmmAdmin.exe executable which is installed by default in ''%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008\bin''.
The first time that the console is launched,a dialog will appear prompting for information about the computer running the VMM Server instance to which the console is to connect, and the port to be used in establishing this connection. This server name entry takes the following form: <tt>computername:port</tt> For example, to connect to VMM Server running a system named WINSERVER using port 8100, the following server name would be entered: <tt>WINSERVER:8100</tt> To connect to the VMM Server instance running on the local system, the name ''localhost'' may be used in place of the computer name. The option is also provided to make this selection the default for future sessions, avoiding the necessity to fill in the form once again: [[Image:vmm_admin_console_connect_to_server.jpg|The VMM Administrator Console Connect to Server dialog]] Once an appropriate server name has been defined, the ''Connect'' button will establish the connection to the chosen VMM Server and display the VMM Administrator Console.
