So I'm using the command line:
c:\program files (x86)\vmware/vmrc vmrc://<your_server>/?moid=<your_moid>
it works, but the vm comes up in a windowed screen that I then have to click the full screen button. Is there a switch to go straight to full screen?
Thanks,
Roveer
The -f option is only valid in Workstation on Windows. However, if you have it installed you can use it to connect to remote VMs in full-screen mode like so:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware.exe" -f -H <your_server> -M <your_moid>
Note: If workstation is already running this will not switch it to full-screen mode.
On Linux, Workstation's -X option and Player's -X and --fullscreen options only start local VMs in full-screen mode.

VMware Workstation

where OPTIONS are:
-v Show program version
-x Power on when a virtual machine is opened
-X Same as -x but also go into full screen mode
-p Start the virtual machine paused
-q Close virtual machine at power off
-s NAME=VALUE Set variable NAME to VALUE
-n Open a new window
-f Start in full screen mode Console connection:
-H hostname Host
-U username User name
-P password Password for remote connection

I tried the -f and the -x and -X options and none of them seemed to work. They just bring the VM up in the standard window and I have to click the full screen button from there. I'm adding the switch at the end of the command line
vmrc vmrc://myip/?moid=1 -f
It won't let me add it after the first vmrc.

Thank you. That did work with the vmware workstation (I installed it temporarily).
