    Get an error (you do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task) when adding a header and a footer. Any help?

    Hey veeran14642260,

    Us would certainly help.

    Could if it please let you me know what software used to create the PDF file. What is the software Acrobat Live Cycle Designer or something else?

    If you have created the file using Live Cycle, then it would be possible that you do not have permission to add the header/footer in the file.

    In addition, check under "file > properties > Security" and check if there is no security on the PDF file.

    Let me know.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I tried several days create a workflow to automatically remove the E1000 adapters on a virtual machine and its replacement by Vmxnet3 while maintaining the configuration of the network adapters.

    Everything works fine with Linux VM (as the configuration is automatically preserved) but I have an error on the virtual Windows computer where I have to run a Powershell script (tried with batch also script) with guestScriptManager package.

  • vmrun deleteFileInGuest translates by "error: you do not have access rights to this file.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 7.1.2 build 301548, host VMW is Win7 64 bit and comments is Win7 64-bit.

    I tried using vmrun deleteFileInGuest command to delete a file read-only in the comments and get "error: you don't have access rights to this file", however, I was manully able to remove this file from the client. If I uncheck the 'Read only' property of the file, then I can remove it from the host.

    As I need to delete the file as part of my automation script, I was wondering if there is any work around?

    Thank you

    Eileen

    FWIW, I've played around with this for a bit and in the end the only way I could delete the target file's read-only attribute was actually write a program (rmroa.exe) that precisely does that.  Basically the program does that attrib r shell and pass the target of the file to remove the attribute of as an argument to the program.

    vmrun -T ws -gu  -gp  runProgramInGuest  'c:\test\rmroa.exe' 'c:\test\program\test.ini'
    

    In other words enforcement rmroa.exe in this way called attrib.exe r "c:\test\program\test.ini" including the read attribute only to rid of this file.

    As a test I have scripted the whole process of copy rmroa.exe from host to host and then executed it, removed the test.ini and then delete the rmroa.exe file.  Sometimes it takes just a little more to get the job done.
