Enable VNC in ESXi

You can enable VNC to connect to your VMs in ESXi.

  1. Power off your VM
  2. Edit the VMX file.  It is a simple text file.
    Add
    remotedisplay.vnc.port=”5900″
    remotedisplay.vnc.enabled=”true”

If you want to enable VNC access to multiple VMs on a single host, you'll have to use a different VNC port for each. Using your VNC client specify the port after the IP address.
