Hey, is it possible to have a Console to a Windows VM?

This should definitely be possible... I remember seeing the details in the API

Could you post the output of the second command. I don't have any windows vms on my server atm.

To retrieve a console URI using the CLI

Retrieve the VM UUID by running:

xe vm-list params=uuid --minimal name-label=name

Retrieve the console information:

xe console-list vm-uuid=vm_uuid

You're probably looking for this:

https://XS_HOST_IP/console?uuid=VM_UUID

Well that's basically what is used already... Though the output from the commands I gave would be useful as it gives the specific console type.

Currently openxenmanager looks for an RFB console

Hmmm.... Just installed a windows VM myself and the console already appears to work fine
