Connecting to Windows Machines and Virtual Centers In the RSE New Connection wizard, you can choose to make remote connections to Windows machines and Window Virtual Centers. The process is essentially the same as with ESXi servers as explained in sections of this document that follow, but you must use Windows login credentials. Important For Windows Server 2008, the Datastore daemon is not installed by default. You must install it on your Windows system and have it running before the RSE can connect to it successfully.
