Default vmx file

[KennyMacCormik]

Hi everyone,

When I'm creating a VM it's .vmx file contain some config by default. I'm wondering where this config come from and how can I modify it. For example I want these lines to appear in every .vmx file by default:

isolation.device.connectable.disable = "TRUE"

isolation.device.edit.disable = "TRUE"

isolation.tools.diskWiper.disable = "TRUE"

isolation.tools.diskShrink.disable = "TRUE"

It there any way to pull this off without using a template?

AFAIK there's no way to change default settings for newly created VMs.

Other than using templates, you may use a script to add those settings to new VMs.

An example can be found at Re: Script to check for existence and add advanced settings to VMs if necessary.
