How to prevent limited users to create virtual machines?

Hi all;

Is it possible to prevent standard users to create Virtual Machines in Microsoft Windows environment?

Thank you

Here's the problem I see... as long as the user has the ability to run VMware Workstation, you can't stop creating a VM since everything it takes, it's a TextEditor and a live ISO Image and the other can create a configuration manually, .vmx file that it points to the ISO Image and then double click on the manually created configuration .vmx file and its place and running.  Of course not all users would go to the trouble to create the .vmx file manually but there are scripts on the Internet that do and users have other ways too.

If you don't have the appropriate infrastructure to control your users then monitor their activities and let them know him will be fired if they contravene the regulations.

    Summary:

    1 set the "New Menu" permission in the 'home page and Header' refusal, then the 'New' menu will disappear from the top right of the page, which prevents the user to create dashboards and new anlysis

    2. in order to not allow the user to modify the catalog, set the permission of "access user interface of the catalogue"in the ' welcome and header' to refuse."

    3. even made 1 and 2, we have always have a path that the user can create new report, it's "House"menu." To avoid this, our method is to set the explicit right to catalog for the application role.

  • creating virtual machines off templates in Lab Manager

    Hello

    I am using vCenter Lab Manager 4.0.

    I have created several models of machine virtual Windows.

    Now, I would like to create virtual machines on these models.

    Am I able to do it. ?

    If so, how can I achieve that. ?

    I checked in the guide, but found no relevant info.

    Maybe I'm missing something.

    Please provide help. !!

    Thank you.

    Santos,

    First of all, make sure that the model is published.  Means published which are can be used as a virtual machine in the current organization.  If you need to use it in another, make sure you share the model to the user / the appropriate organization.

    2. go into your workspace: workspaces > hand

    3. click on the button "new Configuraiton.

    -Add virtual machines

    -Click OK

    4 deploy the configuration.

  • Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store

    Hello

    Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.

    Thank you

    Astra

    Looks like he needs a store of data for this parameter object. So we need to do a get Datastore cluster I can try to test tomorrow, but try this:

    If ($datastore1 - only 'none') {}

    $drscluster = get-DatastoreCluster $datastore1

    $vmadddsk = new-disk-hard - VM $gstname CapacityKB - $datastore1size - data $drscluster store

  • Destination area has VMware player 3.1.4. Not possible to run a newly created virtual machine.

    For the first time, I tried to virtualize my machine using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. The destination machine has VMware Player installed 3.1.4, so I chose, as a destination having VMware 4.0.x instead of VMware 3.0.x as 3.1.4 overflows 3.0.x. The newly created virtual machine does not under VMware 3.1.4. Is there anyway out of this except can create an another VM using VMware player 3.0.x as the destination machine? Thank you.

    Then, you should be able to simply create a (empty) virtual machine with VMware Player 3.x and then just remove the blank virtual hard drive (hard files) and replace it with the one created with VMware vCenter Converter.

  • How users share a virtual machine with the level of access under total control?

    Hello

    In our Lab Manager environment, we have created workspaces and users can create and share virtual machines in these workspaces. The problem is the level of access only I can see when users share virtual machines is read-only. How can users share their machines with other users with the full control access level?

    Thank you.

    It is a constraint of security designed to prevent the full control permission, being too easy accidentally to give everyone in a system.

    The answer depends on whether you have PF3 or LM4.

    Behavior of PF3: share to everyone in an org is read-only, while sharing a physical person should give you full read/write/control

    LM4 behavior: share in all the world in an org, individuals selected in an org or anyone in a different workspace == read-only, while in the same workspace gives you the opportunity.

    That said, total control: the ability to deploy/undeploy it or change the settings of the virtual machine, NOT if the specified user has write access the console.  The distinction is quite important.

    Also, page followed, but he had the wrong information, there may be an arbitrary number of connections of the competing console to the same VM (oh, I'm sure that there is a limit, but I did not deliberately try to find).  It does give the impression that several people are faced with the same mouse and keyboard...

  • How do you keep users from creating directories deeper than 260 characters of the root of the drive?

    In Windows, it seems impossible to create/join the files with a path longer than 260 characters.

    Well, not completely: you can create these files if you create a shortcut or point a reader shared inside the path, but that's exactly how this problem gets so bad: a user creates a share X: pointing to \\myserver\longdirname\evenlongerdirname\verylongdirname\etc\verylongfilename

    then it creates a file in X:\evenlongerdirnamethanYouHaveEverSeen\SuperLongDirNameJustLongEnoughToBe260FromTheRoot

    Note: the names of directories must be long, you can also create a shorter longer string of names of directories (a\b\c\d\e\f\g...)

    now, someone trying to open this file of \\myserver fail miserable. In fact, windows behaves a bit ridiculous and sometimes silently ignores files. I've seen this happen when people copy a folder of installation deep inside a fileshare: the installation program is a DVD or CD and a subscription contains 1000 directories, some are more than 260 tank when opened from the root. Then you get really weird behaviour: files ignored!

    As 260 characters was probably very well when the disks were<10GB but="" if="" you="" have="" 1="" tb="" drive,="" it's="" not="" too="" hard="" to="" end="" up="" with="" directories="" that="" are="" way="" deeper="" than="" 260="" characters.="" so="" i="" predict="" that="" there="" will="" be="" a="" time="" soon="" where="" ntfs="" needs="" to="" be="" adapted="" to="" be="" able="" to="" use="" large="" disks="" decently.="" this="" is="" also="" made="" worse="" because="" people="" create="" files="" with="" really="" bad="" names="" (e.g.="" a="" outlook="" msg="" files="" will="" be="" called="" the="" same="" as="" its="" subject="" line,="" fun="">

    Don't tell people don't do that, I see it in my everyday environment, and it breaks a lot of programs (and then the bad programmer is blamed for drawback of Windows: "you can't even open a file named a.txt")

    Question: How do you keep the users to create a file that is > 260 characters if we take into account the root of the drive, rather than a part under?

    Hi PM3.141592
     
    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public.

  • How to prevent a user to call the system recover?

    I managed PCs in a small office. SCP is Dell and Sys. Recover partition. When you do updates recently, I noticed one of the PCs of the employee had a COMPLETE system to recover well and played course the employee now has admin. account. (If you are interested, said employee PC started acting a weird day, then reset to the recovery screen... done this sound possible?)

    How to prevent this? (The PC is Windows Vista)

    If you have a recovery cd (you can get one from the manufacturer of your pc), and then delete the volume/partition system recovery, so that no one will be able to do a restore system without your permission.

    Also set a password for the BIOS and disable boot CD, so that you are the only person who can start on the recovery cd.

    hope this helps
