How can i block 3389 port with vmware firewall?

[canberky]

Hello,

Is it possible to block the remote desktop in windows virtual machines with vMware firewall or is it possible to redirect to another port instead of 3389?

Thank you,

Nope, you can't do that from ESXi firewall

Firewall you referring is ESXi firewall ? ESXi firewall is for the services running on ESXi not for the Virtual Machines.

To change the RDP port on a Windows VM please refer below Microsoft KB

Yes, I'm talking about esxi firewall. I know how to change ports on Windows, but what I'm looking for is not being able to access virtual machines with the vMware firewall. I want to connect to windows virtual server from console only via ESXI is it possible?

What I understand is from you reply, please correct me if I am wrong

1. You want to access the VM console only via ESXi  -  You can access it via ESXi Web UI

2. Revoke all RDP connections towards your virtual machines - Disable RDP on Virtual Machine

You can't manage Virtual machine services via ESXi firewall. ESXi firewall is only for ESXi services.
