The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection Tool (often abbreviated to ''VMConnect'') uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to provide access to the desktop or console environment of running virtual machines. When the connection tool is connected to a virtual machine, the user sees a representation of the guest operating system's desktop environment and can interact with it using the mouse and keyboard. A connection may be established both locally on the Hyper-V server, or remotely over a network or the internet from a client on which the tool installed.

== Installing The the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection Tool ==

Running along the top edge of the VMConnect window is a menu bar containing the following menu options:

* '''File''' - Provides access to the settings for the virtual machine to which the tool is connected together with the option to exit from the tool. Note that exiting only closes the VMConnectsession. The virtual machine will continue to run in the background.

* '''Action''' - Provides the option to send Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence to the guest operating system, start, shutdown, save, pause, reset, snapshot or revert the virtual machine. An option is also available to insert the Integration Services CD image into the virtual machine so that the services can be installed on the guest operating system. Note that if the virtual machine is not currently running, most of these options will be disabled.
