Hi Nitya,

Did you mean you want to install BluePrism in a VMware virtual machine and use it as an interactive client? I don't see a challenge in that.

Yeah, vSphere can be used to remote into a machine to be used for an Interactive Client. You'll want to make sure your permissions are set up correctly because it's kind of easy to give too much access to people in vSphere and it also bypasses the requirement to login to a machine if the machine is already logged in, whereas something like RDP will still require the user to enter a username/password. Personally, I haven't liked the experience I've had with vSphere, especially if you're using the web client which is Flash. I'm not sure why anyone is still using Flash in 2020, but then again we're still using IE to automate applications so maybe it's not all that weird.
