VCSA remote console integration

[bnelson]

I launch remote consoles for VCSA 6.0/6.5 with Workstation 12. This causes a new tab to open in an already existing Workstation window with running VMs-- which has chaos inducing side effects. I'd like to request a Workstation Preferences option where the first ESX Remote console would open in a New Window. then a sub option to Launch all other Remote Consoles in  New Tab in that window; or new windows for all remote consoles. Having the ability to configure that preference per VCSA server would be outstanding; but not necessary. 

thanks

It doesn't completely address your needs, but you can explicitly request a new Workstation UI window with the --new-window command-line option (or by choosing File > New Window from the menu).  You additionally can drag VM tabs from one window to another.  Also, on Windows, if one Workstation window is already connected to a remote server, then attempting to open a remote VM on that server should open a tab in that window and not another window.
