Reinstall workstation server service

A VM clone will be stored in the shared VMs directory. Changes made in the shared VM will not affect the original VM. The VM has now been shared. This view is displayed on the screenshot below. Likewise, share the second VM. The second VM is needed to explain how to configure autostart in this example. VMware Workstation Server can run in background as a service and allows you to configure VMs to start automatically after a host machine on which VMware Workstation has been installed is booted, without the need for the user to log in to the operating system manually.

Moreover, you can select the boot order for each VM, for example, a VM running the database server should be started first and the VM on which the database client is installed should be started after that with some delay some time is needed for the database server to be started. In the opened window, tick the Auto Start checkbox in the appropriate string related to the necessary VM. You can also set the stop action the action that is performed when you click the Stop button in the VMware Workstation interface.

You also see the path of each VM. In the bottom of the window it, is possible to set delays between starting each virtual machine seconds is the default value.

Roles and permissions allow you to create a set of privileges and apply these privileges to the appropriate user for security reasons.

You can select a build-in role or create a custom role applying to specific users. For example, one user can have all privileges and another user can have read-only privileges cannot edit VM settings, create, delete VMs etc. In order to select or edit roles, right click the Shared VMs folder in the VM library and select Roles in the context menu. You can create a new custom role from scratch or clone an existing role to a new role and then edit this new role.

In order to edit user permissions, right click the Shared VMs folder and select Permissions. The name of the regular user used in our Ubuntu system is user1.

If it doesn't, use the drop down menu to change it. If it already says: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab at the top, and change the "First Failure" line to "Restart the Service", then click on " apply", then OK.

Follow the same steps to start other services. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback.
