I have number of Workstation machines in my network.
How can I connect to remote Workstation?

You mean VMWare Workstations? You can't. You have to use ESXi or VMWare Server.

You could remotely execute a process that does some operation, via runas, WMI, etc.

I found this
Running VMware Workstation as a server with shared virtual machines
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005585

I'm not sure if it you can connect to a remote VMware Workstation virtual machine using the VIX API, but it may be worth a try after enabling VMware Workstation Server and sharing a virtual machine.

Hi everyone, I have encountered the same problem Alex Shats asked about.
Alex, did enabling the VMware Workstation Server and Sharing VM's work for you ?
I'm interested in utilizing the full functionality of vmwaretasks remotely, due to certain constraints it has to be VMware Workstation as apposed to ESXi

Thanks in advance!

Yep, I managed to connect remotely using VIX once I enabled the  VMware Server :D

Hey shlomi lev, 

how did you manged it?

Could you please share your VixHost_Connect call with the parameters? And how did you open the VM? With VixHost_OpenVM? Whats the path then?

Thanks a lot!

Florian

Well after reading twice I guess you really mean the "VMWare Server" and not the Workstation Server :d
