Purpose

This article provides the steps to remove or disable any unwanted plug-ins from the vCenter Server or vCenter Server Appliance.

Resolution

Click UnregisterExtension. A new window appears.

Paste the key of the plug-in and click Invoke Method. This removes the plug-in and results in void.

Close the window.

Refresh the Managed Object Type:ManagedObjectReference:ExtensionManager window to verify that the plug-in is removed successfully.

Note: If the plug-in still appears, you may have to restart the vSphere Client.

To disable the plugin through the Client Plug-In manager within the vSphere Web Client 5.1 and later:

Log in to the vSphere Web Client with an vCenter Server Administrative user.
