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;
4
5 using Vim25Api;
6 using AppUtil;
7
8 namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
9 {
10 public partial class Form1 : Form
11 {
12 public AppUtil.AppUtil util = null;
13
14 public Form1()
15 {
16 InitializeComponent();
17 }
18
19 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
20 {
21 String[] arguments = new string[] {
22 "--url", "https://192.168.0.161/sdk",
23 "--username","root",
24 "--password","P@ssw0rd",
25 "--disablesso", "true",
26 "--ignorecert", "true"};
27 try
28 {
29 this.axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.startup(2, VMwareRemoteConsoleTypeLib.VMRC_MessageMode.VMRC_DIALOG_MESSAGES, null);
30
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;
36 string ticket = util._connection.Service.AcquireCloneTicket(sessionMor);
37 ManagedObjectReference vmMor = util.getServiceUtil().GetDecendentMoRef(null, "VirtualMachine", "test");
38
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。
