通过console可以实现类似远程桌面的功能，但它的实现方式和远程桌面不同，一般来说远程桌面必须要有网络支持，在机器关闭或者启动过程中无法连接。而console是通过esx的虚拟化组件实现远程桌面。在其sample代码中有一个用html+js编写ActiveX插件的示例。

下方是一个用winform写的console远程截图。

在vmware的developer center中https://developercenter.vmware.com/sdks，下载vmrc sdk，它会以com组件的形式安装，你可以在vs工具箱中找到。

下面上一段sample代码

 1 using System;
 2 using System.Linq;
 3 using System.Windows.Forms;

 5 using Vim25Api;
 6 using AppUtil;

 8 namespace WindowsFormsApplication1

10     public partial class Form1 : Form
11     {
12         public AppUtil.AppUtil util = null;
13 
14         public Form1()
15         {
16             InitializeComponent();   
17         }

31                 util = AppUtil.AppUtil.initialize("Connect", constructOptions(), arguments.ToArray());
32                 util.connect();
33 
34                 ManagedObjectReference mor = util.getConnection().ServiceRef;
35                 ManagedObjectReference sessionMor = util._connection.Service.RetrieveServiceContent(mor).sessionManager;

39                 axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.connect("192.168.0.161", null, true, ticket, null, null, vmMor.Value, null, null);
40             }
41             catch(Exception ex)
42             {
43                 MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
44    
45                 this.axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.disconnect();
46                 util.disConnect();
47             }
48         }
49         private static OptionSpec[] constructOptions()
50         {
51             OptionSpec[] useroptions = new OptionSpec[5];
52             useroptions[0] = new OptionSpec("url", "String", 1, "ser url", null);
53             useroptions[1] = new OptionSpec("username", "String", 1, "user name", null);
54             useroptions[2] = new OptionSpec("password", "String", 1, "password", null);
55             useroptions[3] = new OptionSpec("disablesso", "bool", 0, "disablesso", null);
56             useroptions[4] = new OptionSpec("ignorecert", "bool", 1, "ignorecert", null);
57             return useroptions;
58         }
59 
60         private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
61         {
62             axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.disconnect();
63             util.disConnect();
64         }
65     }
66 }

在建立connect连接时，有几个重要的参数

url为https://主机ip/sdk，登录帐号也是主机esx的帐号。

disablesso表示禁用sso单点登录验证，这个要加上，因为在我们远程登录验证不会使用sso。

ignorecert这个参数也要加上，不然会证书验证导致The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

这些参数如何运作可以到vsphere sdk中的apputil项目下找到。
