You can use CLI commands instead of the Administrative Console to manage containers.

You can launch the container Command Prompt from the Administrative Console. This starts a new command prompt from within the container context.

Note:
You must be logged in as the built-in Administrator to use most VirtaMove command-line utilities. You can execute runas on the command line to execute a command as a different user.

To Launch the Container Command Prompt from the Administrative Console

1. Click Start>Administrative Console. The Administrative Console window opens.

2. Select a container.

3. Click the Dock command button.

4. Right-click a container, and then select Launch Prompt. The custom command prompt running within that container is displayed.
