Enable Copy/Paste using VMware Remote Console

VMware ESXi 6.5 disables copy/paste functionality by default for security reasons. If the security implications are acceptable, copy/paste funcationality can be enabled on per VM basis. It should be possible to change it at the host level but that will be for another post.

Follow the following steps to allow copy/paste:

  • Power down the VM
  • Do Actions | Edit Settings
  • In Edit Settings window, look for Edit Configuration button
  • Add the following parameters
    Key Value
    isolation.tools.copy.disable FALSE
    isolation.tools.paste.disable FALSE
    isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable TRUE

  • Power up the VM
