It’s a very good, almost perfect, product. I miss one thing. A feature that allows you to transfer a file from and to the open VM. I know, you can attach a USB-stick and do a via-via transfer but a direct approach would be more elegant. This way it’s very useful and very easy for us to divide management and regular traffic in our DMZ by simply not allowing management protocols through the firewall and on de hosts (in the DMZ) and force the system- and network-engineers to use Boomerang.

Take a look at %APPDATA%\VMware\VMware Boomerang. There will be a prefs.txt file that you can move to the corresponding location on other machines, as long as VMware Boomerang is not running (otherwise it could overwrite that file again). The password saved to the file is protected to your user account so you don’t need to delete it before transferring the file, although it’s a good idea to do so anyway.

Is there a way to backup the settings so I can pass them to other admins?

I believe you have to enable clipboard directly in the vSphere Client configuration. I think you can Google around to find it, although I’m not entirely sure.

Thanks for the feedback. Is it just because the Recently Used section can grow indefinitely? That is, if I switched it to only store the 5 most recently used items, would that make it more useful? Or do you still want it disabled entirely?

The “recently used” menu item may be nice to some people but i find it annoying that it cannot be removed. A setting to “not display it on the menu” would be great.

I also get this error using my AD user:

2013-02-12 13:17:58.957 [1864] 2013-02-12 13:17:58.957 [17A4] VixVM::OnVMOpened: Opening VM ‘Linux_2′ failed with asyncError 3014 (Insufficient permissions in the host operating system).
VMItem::UIThreadVMOpenStateChanged: VM ‘Linux_2′ open state changed to STATE_OPEN_FAILED.

Any chance this can be fixed? Thanks!

Hi Adam,

How I can do to get crededencial store?
I commented, I perform the login correctly in Virtual Centers, select the tab to save the credentials,
and restart the PC or when starting the PC, credentials go away and I have to retake all the login in the VC’s.

Is there any way to save the credentials?
Is there any program file where you can put the credentials and the FQDN of VC’s??

With a ceramic stone base with surrounding elements that provide even heating,
the Pete Evans Signature Edition Pizza Maker by Breville is the best choice.
The grill unfortunately is a risky place to cook meals, and also the griddle can
be a great present towards the wellbeing aware.
You have to shake over the paddle of the openhandedly by taking use of the corn meal & then you have to put bread
on the paddle ahead of mixing toppings within it.
