I have an Event Log question about vCenter 5.5.0.<br />
<br />
I have a number of events in the middle of the night or either a user root@IPAddress or VSPHERE.LOCAL\administrato<wbr />r@IPAddres<wbr />s logged in and logged out as &quot;Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client Protocol.<br />
<br />
The IP address referenced is a vm backup/monitoring server with Veeam Backup.<br />
<br />
What I'm confused about is why it says &quot;Mozilla/4.0&quot;. There's nothing connecting via Firefox, is this some other Mozilla process built in that I'm not aware of?

I have an Event Log question about vCenter 5.5.0.

I have a number of events in the middle of the night or either a user root@IPAddress or VSPHERE.LOCAL\administrator@IPAddress logged in and logged out as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client Protocol.

The IP address referenced is a vm backup/monitoring server with Veeam Backup.

What I'm confused about is why it says "Mozilla/4.0". There's nothing connecting via Firefox, is this some other Mozilla process built in that I'm not aware of?

vCenter Login states logged in as Mozilla/4.0

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

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.
