VMware 5.5 lockdown issues
Add your rating:
I am a Windows Installer packager and I am currently trying to customize VMware 5.5 to work for standard users on a locked down environment. I noticed that when you attempting to START/STOP the virtual VMware DHCP and NAT services, the "Apply" button is not there. However when you log in as an admin, then the apply button is there. I have attempted to apply permissions to all VMware associated file/registry but the button still doesn't show up. I have also applied group policy permissions for all the vmware services too. Anybody got a solution?

I hate to say this, but I've always known VMWARE to require that the users rights are "Power User" rights at absolute minimum.
Have you checked the VMWARE forums?

Wrong, here we are using VMware 4.0 and 5.0 and we are lockdown. No issues
except we need to maintain some ini file to prevent BSOD.

Everything else works fine logged in as a standard user. Just the Virtual Network Settings cannot be manipulated, ie. the apply button is missing. Go to VIRTUAL NETWORK PREFERENCES and see for yourself. I repackaged version 4.5 last year and successfully got everything to work for a standard user by giving the user specific permissions to registry and services. It's a non issue anyway.. the only users requiring that function are power users anyway. Thanks for the help all.
