I think the one important thing to understand is that ESXi is not designed for direct VM access (as you can with VMware Workstation or Server). If you want to access the console of a VM you do that from a Windows PC running the vSphere client. If direct console access to a VM is a requirement then you have to look at other solutions. There are some client hypervisors (like XenClient) which may do the job.
