Remotely Control a VMware Workstation Virtual Machine using a VNC connection

If you don’t want to remotely control your VMs using the VMware Workstation console or a Remote Desktop connection for Windows VMs then you can connect to your VMs using a VNC connection instead. All you need to do is enable the setting on each VM and make sure to use different port numbers if you are configuring this on more than one virtual machine.

You can use any VNC client you like such as RealVNC or Tight VNC for example. You can also password protect the connection. If you use this for more than one VM you will get a socket bind already in use error meaning you need to use a different port number for your other VMs. You can also view the VNC connections for each VM from the settings menu.

Here is a writeup on the procedure.
