VNC Console

Setting VNC console service in VMware Server 2.x

• Create a new VM in VMWare Server, but don’t start the VM.
• SSH to the server and find your VM’s .vmx file. Normally, you can find the file in a location like /var/lib/vmware/$vmname/$vmname.vmx.
• Add the following lines to the end of the .vmx file:

RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled = "TRUE"
RemoteDisplay.vnc.password = "vncpassword"
RemoteDisplay.vnc.port = "5900"

• Change the VNC port and password to values that suit your environment and then start the VM.
