So I will open a GPO in an editor, “VMWare VM Settings.” Here I’m going to see the “Properties.” Let’s say I want it to be set for “1024” as minimum “Memory.” In “Hardware-Processors” tab, I’m going to try to deliver these three checkboxes. I already have that compiled, and I already have that in my central store.
Then I will go into “Compilation” option and click on this button to compile it. In my case, I know that it’s in a “VMs” folder on my “SystemDrive” and the VMX file name is “Windows 7.vmx,” so I will change that and then I will save those changes. If you are targeting any specific file for VMX, like let’s say you are targeting “Windows 8.vmx,” so you need to change the file name as well. The default data root, the Pak we ship does have “Virtual Machine” in the “Data root.” For example, in my case, I know that my “Data root” is “VMs,” so I will change that part. In here, the default you are going to see is like that. I’ll open that in my PolicyPak Design Studio. This is the project file which you can open in the PolicyPak Design Studio and change the data root. Then the Read Me file, and the last one is XML file. The one is DLL, which you need to place on your central local store. Once you extract that, you’re going to see these three files in that folder. You need to download the latest Pak from our custom portal. We manage VMX file, so you need to know the data root of your “Configuration file.” In my case, it’s “C:VMsWindows 7.vmx.” I know that, so now I know what file I need to manage. The thing that you need to look for on the client machine – you need to make sure that you know your data root, where your configuration files are getting stored for your VMs.
Now I’m going into my domain controller from where I’m going to deliver the setting. Click “Cancel” and close the app on the target machine. You must know that when you click on “Edit virtual machine settings,” you are going to see these two tabs: “Hardware” and “Options.” We do have a new Pak to manage these settings, so I’m going to use that and I’m also going to deliver app locks on these options so your end user cannot change that.
In this video, I’m going to show you how you can deliver settings for your VMs in a VMware Workstation. This is Sal from PolicyPak technical support. In this video learn how to use the PP DesignStudio to specify a specific VMware VMX file and then deliver settings and lock down the settings so users cannot work around them. 12: PolicyPak: Manage and lockdown a specific VMware Workstation’s VMX file settings
