Anyone managed to get the copy/paste work for guest OS (Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008/2012) running on ESXi 6.0 build 3620759 server ?
I've tried to:
1) set the following to false on VM itself :
isolation.tools.paste.disable
isolation.tools.copy.disable
isolation.tools.dnd.disable
2) include the following within : /etc/vmware/config
vmx.fullpath = "/bin/vmx"isolation.tools.copy.disable="FALSE"
isolation.tools.paste.disable="FALSE"
3) Restart whole ESXi and guest OS.
but with no luck, this is strangely difficult for no obvious reason.
Please verify if your VMtools are running and update as well.
Thank you,
Hello Marmotte94
Thanks for the answer, can you please add more details on what that option is and steps to use it ?

I absolutely did that already, its installed and up to date.
Hi,
Please look at Screen Shoot in previous answer. Before, just connect to your vCenter from PowerCLI.
Thank you,
This question comes up time and time again
The copy and paste feature between your local machine and your guest VM is only for short amounts of txt. This is for up to 64KB of plain txt, and will allow you to copy/paste within a file, but not copy the file itself
Thank you for your reply, do you have any reference from vmware about this ?
i do remember previously using an ESXi that has this capability on, don't recall what version it was though.
Hi, please see the vmware knowledge base that i referenced in my reply. (VMware Knowledge Base )
This relates to anything after vsphere 4.1
