Ciao
you have three options, two with Full-Screen Option and one without full-Screen option (unfortunately this is with VMRC)
VMware Workstation
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware.exe" -f -H 192.168.1.201 -M 35
VMware Player
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmplayer.exe" -X -H 192.168.1.201 -M 35
VMRC
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" vmrc://root@192.168.1.201/?moid=35
Where 192.168.1.201 is IP or FQDN of ESXi and MOID or M (35) the identification of VM (found with this command on ESXi Host vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms)
The option -f (Workstation) -X (Player) are for open the session on Full-Screen Mode
The vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms output is:

The VM you need to connect to is active on workstation or ESXi, it's not clear to me.
Hi,
Instead of VMRC use vmware-kvm.exe (it's in your vmware workstation folder somewhere) and pass it the vmx file.
It's awesome.

@wila
This one is working but my vm's running in ESXi, on the local pc it works, but how can i connect to a ESXi workstation ?
Hi,
You didn't mention "ESXi" and posted this at the workstation section of the forum, so I didn't consider that.
AFAIK then you're back to VMRC.
For the connection URL have a look at William Lam's site:
https://williamlam.com/2011/10/how-to-generate-vm-remote-console-url.html
There's probably some invocation for vmware-kvm (like it doesn't complain about --host as a parameter), but I'm not patient enough now to figure out. VMware player used to have a remote option as well.. back in the day.
See my post here from 2009...
