Hi,

you can access them via the Console of the vSphere Web Client.

lamw wrote a nice script to generate direct links to the consoles, if you want to distribute it to other people that are not so familiar with the web client:

He also wrote another script to generate pre-authenticated links:

thanks friend for ur answer but i ask for direct connection without vsphere web client so any user without this program can access only one virtual machine without show other vsphere or vm

As I said, you can generate direct links and give that to your user, so they only see their console.

Otherwise, you are limited to the remote access protocols of the VMs.

Like RDP for windows, XDMCP for linux or VNC as third party solution for both.

thanks for ur answer

pls i have another question

is there any way to make user access only one program in vm and make two user use same virtual machine simultaneously

sure, but that's no VMware function :smileywink:

Windows Terminal Servers can do what you described.
