      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;ESXi 6.0 (Free)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've been using VMRC.EXE to launch my VM's using a moid.&amp;nbsp; The way I have the command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" vmrc://172.16.1.128/?moid=1 -f it requires me to press the "connect button" and then hit the "full screen" button.&amp;nbsp; I'd like it to go straight into the VM and make it full screen automatically, not requiring the previous two steps.&amp;nbsp; Is that possible?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="vmrc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5195iA54AFAB66BF1F2E8/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="vmrc.jpg" alt="vmrc.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;----- UPDATE -----&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I found the -X switch takes care of the full screen.&amp;nbsp; Now is there any way to pass through the connect.&amp;nbsp; Since you are able to "remember" the credentials, I would think there would be a way (or should be a way) to launch without the "connect" stage.&amp;nbsp; OR is there another method of launching a VM from an icon that would go straight to the VM fullscreen?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't think aquiring cloneticket is an option for this problem based on free version.&amp;nbsp; I tried running powercli scripts and it fails out saying not allowed for my license type.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I also have this same question,&amp;nbsp; although im not on the free version of esxi, (im running a multi-host VCSA 6.5u3).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and using VMRC.exe on win10.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;clearly VMRC.exe can remember user/pw,&amp;nbsp; and by using a win shortcut like this below,&amp;nbsp; i get to the same point as OP.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" "vmrc://administrator@vc.xx.xx/?moid=vm-7763"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the credentials fields &lt;STRONG&gt;comes up fully populated,&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; such that i just have to click connect and then im in the remote console session.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Vme332c_0-1621363624647.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88900i45B0DB0D4BA42C3F/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Vme332c_0-1621363624647.png" alt="Vme332c_0-1621363624647.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So like OP,&amp;nbsp; im trying to find a way to automate (or bypass) the clicking of the connect button.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(im aware of using PS to script generation of ephemeral &lt;SPAN&gt;[VC-CLONE-SESSION-TICKET] t&lt;/SPAN&gt;ickets -&amp;gt; URL , as well as using autohotkey to script the &amp;lt;enter&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;mouse-click&amp;gt; part,&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;but i wanted to confirm that there is not some native way to accomplish this, first&lt;/STRONG&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;in other words, why require a prompt for credentials input, if all fields are already, correctly populated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(maybe a flag needs to be passed to vmrc.exe?)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
