VMware Cut and Paste

VM is Server 2022

ESXi 7.0 U2


Host ver. 7  Update 3


I am not on the same network, so I can't use RDP.


I have done this to enable the clipboard, but still can't cut and paste. This is in the Chrome browser, and VMRC.

It has been about 24 hrs. since these changes.

  1. Power off the VM.
  2. Enable the Copy & Paste for the Windows/Linux virtual machine:
    1. Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings.
    2. Click the VM Options tab, expand Advanced, and click Edit Configuration.
    3. Fill in the Name and Value fields as mentioned below. After entering each one, click the Add button. 
Name:                                 Value:
isolation.tools.copy.disable          FALSE
isolation.tools.paste.disable         FALSE
isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable  TRUE
 
  1. Click OK to save and exit out of the Configuration Parameters wizard. Note: These options override any settings made in the guest operating system’s VMware Tools control panel. 
  2. Click OK to save and exit out of the Edit Settings wizard.
 
  1. Power on the VM

I have not checked that, or de/re-registered.

I will set up a time for that. It is a domain controller.  

I would image it needs to be powered off when deregistering.


Thanks
