Prevent manage some settings

Kyuzo — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 10:16:00 GMT

Hello Guys,

do you know if there is a method to prevent the user from changing some settings such as "network type"?

I want to deploy VMware Workstation Pro in my company but I want only me to be able to change some settings.

Thanks

Hi,

The last VMware Workstation version that had this feature was Workstation 15.x.

This has been removed from Workstation 16.
If you need this feature then you either have to look at something like VMware Horizon or Workspace One or elsewhere.

Hope this helps,

Actually we're working on something new there, and some of the seeds are sown in Fusion 12.2 and WS 16.2.

OP, I'd be happy to talk about it if you wanted to DM me.

Thanks wila,

if I'm not mistake, this possibility was by modifying the config.ini file ?
