VMRC or Web Console copy paste at login prompt

[royger]

Hi guys,

I have an issue where copy paste is not working at the windows login screen using VMRC or Web console

Following to KB VMware Knowledge Base  i had made the necessary changes to the VM advanced settings and the copy paste is working just fine once i login to the windows OS BUT on the login

screen it self when typing the password i cant paste it, is there any documentation on this being a designed behavior or may be a workaround the issue i have passwords 30 bits long so typing theme

in is a pain,

Hope someone can help

I believe that Windows disallows this by default, so I don't think it's a VMRC or even vSphere related concern.

Hi,

I was also thinking that, but it is working on any other console (hyper v, Linux KVM) but not working on VMRC so this is some how restricted by VMRC console and not by Microsoft

I am also trying to get this to work.

Hello guys,

any updates on this topic?

Curretnly I also tried to figure it out, but without success.

From what i am being told the Copy/Paste Function only works wonce a user is logged in Because it uses the "VMUSR" Service to perform this function.  That service does not start till user logs in.

Yep I can replicate this also, no clipboard pasting allowed to the login screen but works ONCE LOGGED IN
