Copy / paste does not work in vCenter 4.1.0

ESXi 4.1

vCenter 4.1

Guest operating system in question: Windows 2008 R2 x 64 Standard

I can't copy or paste the invited vSphere with vCenter client host and vice versa.   I'm provisioning virtual machines from a template.  Basically, I converted a virtual machine into a template and used with the Customization Wizard to supply the new virtual machine.   I imported an unattend.xml file in the Customization Wizard.   VMware tools is installed.

I googled and found that the inability to copy and paste inside the guest OS is a default behavior for 4.1.  So I followed the work and edited the file/etc/vmware/config with the following two lines and restarted the virtual machines.

insulation. Tools.Copy.Disable = "false"

insulation. Tools.Paste.Disable = "false"

No chance!

Then, I created a new virtual machine from scratch and attached the VMDK from the former VM.  Now I can copy and paste without problem.  So, it seems that the customization process is the culprit.   I can't create virtual machines from scratch.  How can I use my template to provision VMs without the problem of copy/paste?

Thank you

A restart of the host is not required, it is the virtual machine that needs to restart.

What you need to do is to power off the virtual machine and then put the new one. Not just restart the guest operating system.

If this does not work, thanks for posting the vmware.log file of the virtual machine file.

  • Why to the can't 'Shared VMs' does not allow to share folders with the host and why the copy/paste does not work on them? :-((

    I want to put in place a "build mini-server' for our team. Since VMware Player is not taken in charge more I had to use VMware Workstation, and with some success, I put things up. But now more and more surface of trouble!

    To enable auto-start for the virtual machines, they must obviously be "shared." But it looks like, with this, the nuisance that these virtual machines cannot share folders more with the host. And also, it seems that copy and paste does not work with these "shared VMs.

    Is there a work around to get these features also works with 'shared VMs?

    It is VERY annoying and tedious to always have to these VMs to shuttle between shared and non-shared mode just to be able to transfer data or new versions of code for them!

    My copy of DW also works as you describe, I think it's just "the way that it is" in DW.

    To copy a file from another location on your computer to your site, copy it from the original location and paste it into the site folder within windows Explorer (do not use DW at all).

    You can also drag a file from your desktop to your files window in DW to make a copy.

    It would be not less than 15 days ago?
    If so, to make a system restore?  Choose the date where the copy/paste functioned as your restore point.
    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

    Affectionate greeting,

    Instead of using the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard displays a Visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a unique key or a group of keys to scroll through the keys on the screen.

    1. the problem while you are working on a particular application?

    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Method 1:

    Press shift + insert and see if you are able to stick.

    Method 2: Check if the problem persists in the on-screen keyboard and see if it helps.

    Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard) (Windows 7)
