Problems with copy/paste

Copy/paste is not working for me between the VM and the OS X host.  Since this is supported I'm thinking it could be something with my Win7 image.  Copy/paste works fine within the VM.  Anyone have any ideas?  We're running View 5.

I've verified the same problem with different View desktop images and different host systems (Mac and Windows) so we're looking at our View environment.

My problem is fixed.  There is a View policy that disables copy/paste.  It started working after changing the policy and rebooting the VM.

Having the same problem, copy/paste between Win 7 64-bit host and Debian Lenny 5.0.8 guest in VMware Workstation 8.0.2 doesn't work. Used to in a previous incarnation, not sure when it broke.

I saw the note about "View policy" but after much probing I still cannot find what that means or how to change it. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I went through the admin console and did not see anywhere to edit such setting.  Where did you find it?

thanks.
