Please help ! After upgrading VM to version 7 and changing it network controller to vmxnet3 i've got a "safely remove hardware" icon in taskbar. So any user can detach NIC from this VM !!!! And stop additional HDD controller ! This is damn BAD !

I've tried to disable hotplug as mentioned in KB 1012225 but nothing changes...anyone still can stop NIC and controller as hotplug device...HEEELP!

Thanks a lot.

VM is Windows 2008, ESXi build 193498.

it does't work !

In Vmware KB there are same steps...they worked only on Windows2003 but not on Windows2008.

Problem does't solved that way on Win2008. Strange, yeah ?
