We are in the process of rolling out VMWare Desktops to our users that have older PC's that would of need to be replaced if we did not get VMWare. &nbsp;What steps have you taken to setup a users older PC to act as a VMWare thin client so that when they boot up it goes right to the VMWare login as quickly as possible? &nbsp;If possible the user does not see the Windows 2000 or XP desktop so they are not distracted and miss the VMWare login box. &nbsp;Thanks!

Turn a PC into a VMWare Thin Client

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
