The script above did not work. This script must run on VMs specified in a cluster that is mentioned.

As long as vmhgfs is not installed in your virtual machines during the installation of the tools in 5.0, copy and paste between virtual machines is not enabled by default

    Hi Amit,

    Welcome to OTN.

    You disable the control keys and right mouse click on the text entry using javascript and the client listener.

    For ex.

            
              
              
              
                function disableCtrlKey(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  characterCode = e.getKeyCode();
                  if (characterCode == 17 ) alert('Control Keys are not allowed');
                  else event.cancel();
    
                }
                            function disableContextMenu(e) {
                  if (!e) {
            var e = window.event;
        }
                  alert('Cannot invoke context menu');
                  e.cancel();
                }
    
              
            
    

    Will give the user a warning when they use the CTRL / right mouse click on the text field.

    But what happens if the user selects the browser-> copy edit and modify-> menu Paste?

  • VMWare Fusion 6, after upgrade cannot copy and paste between virtual machines, desktop missing files

    I upgraded from VMWare Fusion 5 to 6, and after the upgrade I can't copy/paste between virtual machines. In addition, the files that are on my desktop Mac are now missing and inaccessible on my Windows desktop.

    Tools update or reinstall?

  • The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

    OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

    I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

    After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

    Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

    Nothing else was changed.

    I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

    Error again.

    I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

    Error again.

    FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

    What now?

    I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

    Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

    vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file

    POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.

    You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

    Try reinstalling VMware Server.

    POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

    Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

    End of the error message.

    I found several posts other people have this problem but

    they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

    to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

    2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

    Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

  • Disable the copy or cut and paste completely

    From: kend_beledm

    Is it possible on a windows-based systems to disable or completely disable the copy and paste function, any type of program is displayed on the screen.

    De : Andrew McLaren

    You can do this for Windows as a whole (and even if you did, users could simply use a print-screen instead, limited data). But you can do it for specific applications: essential technology is Windows Rights Management Services ("RMS"). See http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/rightsmgmt/default.mspx

    If you have an application that can participate in a RMS infrastructure, you can indeed set up policies to selectively allow or prevent the n-cut-paste, etc., to users and groups. or refuse to cut-and - paste altogether in this application.

    Microsoft Office is the application most common which can be plugged into RMS. Once it is all together, it is extremely effective... you really want to cut-and - paste privileged information from this juicy email or a Word document. but hell, you just can not! You also cannot transfer protected emails, etc..

    There is a public SDK, so anyone can write an application that subscribes to RMS and restrict access to the application data. However if you have a legacy application (IE, an already existing application) which you can not re-engineer, so I think you're a bit stuck. You may need to address the issue of security in a non computer perspective, such as human resources policies, etc.

    You can also take a look at the Software Restriction policies ("PRS"), a similar security Windows feature. SRP will not stop users to cut and paste, as such; but it lets you create a very controlled environment. You can stop the users do a lot of things you don't want to do. See:

    http://technet2.Microsoft.com/windowsvista/en/library/0d504b1d-e57c-4DCC-8A5A-8d1da9e4d1fe1033.mspx?mfr=true

    It will be useful,

  • Suggestion: It's about the COPY PASTE function. It is possible to apply multiple copy and paste feature uses publishers or any application of MS?

    Suggestion: It's about the COPY PASTE function. It is possible to apply multiple copy and paste feature uses publishers or any application of MS? For example, I need to copy the 4 lines of text and want to paste in 4 different applications. First line on the 1st application, 2' nd on the other and so on. With this I can choose 1st line and COPY 1 copy, nd line 2' COPY 2 and so on. And while pasting, I can choose the necessary text to PASTE 1,2,3 or 4.
    This feature takes really where people have to work with text editors in their daily lives and find these scenarios quite often.
    I have no idea if this feature is already encapsulated in the MS Editors, so if it's already there kindly let me know.

    Thank you.

  • 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!

  • How to use the copy paste

    I would use the copy/paste feature to copy some text from my file in Word for my web site (as an administrator).
    I faund some information in Firefox, but I wasn't able to follow. I'm not a programmer or a system in English. I'm just an oridinary user.

    As a general rule, you should be able to stick by using one of three methods provided by the browser:

    • CTRL + v
    • the orange Firefox button > edit > paste or classic menu Edition > paste
    • Right click > paste

    However, if the editor has a small button of dough, which can be blocked by security restrictions. I'm not sure it's interesting to try to make these buttons work (as I think you found your question).

  • Y at - he shortcut keyboard to take a screenshot and at the same time put in the copy/paste buffer

    My question: is it keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot and simultaneously place the content in the copy/paste buffer, rather than a file?

    If not, is there a shortcut miss me.

    My current approach is Cmd-Shift-3 or Cmd + Shift + 4, take the screenshot, open in preview, select all, copy, return to remove Word, paste, the screenshot file, then repeat. There must be a more efficient way to work.

    Thank you

  • Disable copying files between virtual machines

    When I go to several virtual desktops using VMware View 4, I am able to copy files between virtual machines. Virtual machines are located in various isolated networks. It is a security problem in my organization and how do I disable this feature? I am not able to find any related configuration in sight connection to the server. Thank you!

    I assume you are using RDP as the Protocol currently, correct?

    In this case, you will need to implement some GPO:s in the workstations to avoid copy and paste.

    Look in the 'Extras' folder on the view connection server, there are a number of ADM files that you can implement to restrict all sorts of things.

    Best regards

  • Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

    I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

    Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

    I have disabled Auto-protect.

    I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

    In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

    What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

    There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.
