Why each option
In older vSphere environments, creating baselines and staging patches for remediation required the Windows-based vSphere thick client, while basic operations like attaching baselines and scanning were available in the Web Client.
Attaching and detaching baselines to inventory objects was supported in the vSphere Web Client, making it accessible without the Windows thick client.
Scanning inventory objects for compliance was available through the vSphere Web Client, so it did not require the Windows vSphere client.
Creating new baselines in vSphere Update Manager was a function restricted to the Windows vSphere client in older vSphere releases, as the Web Client lacked the full Update Manager plugin interface needed for baseline authoring.
Staging a baseline - which pre-downloads patches to hosts before remediation to reduce maintenance window time - also required the Windows vSphere client, as this advanced remediation step was not exposed through the Web Client plugin.
