Re-posted as an answer: Found an alternative (Tested in Win8):

cmdkey /generic:"<server>" /user:"<user>" /pass:"<pass>"

Run that and if you run:

mstsc /v:<server>

You should not get an authentication prompt.

How to Install 32-bit Version of IE9 on 64-bit Version of Windows 7

Installing 32-bit IE9 on 64-bit Windows 7

Actually when you install 64-bit version, 32-bit version will also be installed in your Computer automatically. All you need to do is find the path of IE9 32-bit executable and create a shortcut to it and start using it. Yep, so easy.

Why IE9 32bit is faster than 64-bit?

32bit IE9 contains JIT (Just In Time) compiler which converts script into machine code before running it. 64-bit IE9 doesn’t contains JIT compiler that’s why 32bit version runs 4 times faster than 64-bit IE.

64bit systems and applications are faster and they may be for future but not for current usage, that’s why Microsoft doesn’t allows you to set 64bit IE as default browser, which may be changed in future.

Running IE9 32bit on 64-bit Windows 7

Place a shortcut for Internet Explorer icon on start menu in Windows 7 or you can find IE9 32-bit executable here at C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe to create a shortcut.

Command-Line Parameters for Starting Internet Explorer

In addition to using command-line switches to customize Setup, you can use command-line parameters to customize how Internet Explorer is started.

For example, you can start Internet Explorer in Kiosk or full-screen mode by adding a parameter to the Internet Explorer executable file name by using the following syntax:

/
path
/Iexplore.exe -k

The following is a list of parameters you can use for starting Internet Explorer:

-new - Launches the browser window in a new browsing process.

-remote - Starts a remote instance of Internet Explorer on UNIX platforms only.

-k - Starts the browser in Kiosk or full-screen mode.

-nohome - Starts Internet Explorer without its home page.

-embedding - Starts the Web browser control (no home page is displayed).

-channelband - Displays the channels folder.

-e - Starts Internet Explorer Help on UNIX platforms only.

-v (also -version) - Can be used to specify the version on UNIX platforms only.

Because I see below note on VUM 5.5 doc , seem link  said VUM 5.0 is a 32 bit , not suitable to describe VUM5.5.

tho VUM 5.5 is 64 bit application

on Blog Back to Basics: Installing vSphere 5.5 – VMware Update Manager (VUM)

Unlike vCenter, VUM is 32-bit application – and as such requires 32-bit DSN to communicate to the VUM database.

Make sure that your system meets the requirements specified in System Requirements. Important You can install the Update Manager 5.5 server component only on a 64-bit machine. Make sure the system on which you are installing the Update Manager server is not an Active Directory domain controller. 2) Becareful SQL Full recovery model (youtube here)
