Issue:
Enable copy-and-paste disabled in Remote Console (web console is always disabled).
Resolution:
Because of security concerns, all VMs have copy-and-paste disabled.
However, it can be enabled per VM.
Steps:
vSphere --> locate VM
- Shutdown the guest
VM --> ACTIONS --> Power (category) --> Shut Down Guest OS
- Edit the advanced settings:
VM --> ACTIONS --> Edit Settings --> Advanced Parameters (tab) -->
isolation.tools.copy.disable --> new value: false --> click ADD
isolation.tools.paste.disable --> new value: false --> click ADD
isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable --> new value: true --> click ADD
Click OK to save.

$vm = "vmname"
Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $vm -Name isolation.tools.copy.disable | set-advancedsetting -value false -confirm:$false
Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $vm -Name isolation.tools.paste.disable | set-advancedsetting -value false -confirm:$false
Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $vm -Name isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable | set-advancedsetting -value true -confirm:$false
