Guest OS Question?

Easy Question for you all but Is there and easier way to log into my windows server vms ? Or do I have to go to the VM and then to Guest and the send/ctrl/alt/del?

Is there a faster way to to the login screen?

Regards

Through Vsphere client you can press ctrl+Alt+Enter in vm console to get full screen .

I was talking about windows RDP. If you have access vm netwok from your local machine thn you can also connect that VM through RDP from your local machine. make sure that the VM IP is reachable from your local machine also verify that the TCP port 3389 is allowed
