Afternoon all I have just upgraded to VSphere 4 and upgraded the virtual hardware on all my guests. I have now noticed that the hard disk and NIC are both showing as removable devices available for users to eject on my Windows 7 VMWare View VDI machines. Luckily the hard disk can't be, as it is in use, but the NIC can - and once removed it doesn't come back on reset. It has to be re-added as a device.
Does anyone know of a way to either a) disable this behaviour in VMWare, or b) hide the "Safely remove hardware" icon from the system tray for users? I'd probably prefer option b), especially if it could be done via GPO. I can't just hide the notification area because I need it for the Citrix PNAgent, and if I hide this particular icon it can be restored. TIA, JRR -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
