VMware ACE Administrator’s Manual
• You know in advance which printer the end user needs to use. If you configure
the printer in the guest operating system before you create the package, the end
user does not need to configure the printer.
• The printer requires authentication and is not yet set up in the guest operating
system. Easy printer setup does not work. The end user must follow the normal
steps to set up a network printer in the guest operating system.
Host and Guest Operating Systems with Different DNS Settings
If the host and guest operating systems have different DNS settings, easy printer setup
may be unable to add a network printer that is configured on the host. This is
particularly likely if the virtual machine is configured to use NAT networking, because
in that case the host and guest operating systems are configured to be in different
domains.
If host and guest are in different domains and the printer name that appears in the
host operating system is not fully qualified with a domain name, easy printer setup
may not be able to connect the printer to the guest operating system.
The easiest way to resolve this problem is to be sure the DNS settings for both host
and guest use the same search path. In particular, it is important that the guest
operating system’s search path include the domain in which the printer is located.
User Preferences Policies
The user preferences policies allow you to specify what settings are available to end
users in the VMware ACE Preferences dialog box.
Allow users to modify the exit behavior of the application — This option makes the
exit behavior settings available in the VMware ACE Preferences dialog box. If these
settings are available, the end user can control what happens when VMware ACE
receives an exit command, either from the menu or from a click on the X in the upper
right of the window or toolbar.
The exit behavior preferences allow the end user to specify the following:
• Confirm before exiting the application — When the end user gives the
command to exit VMware ACE, a dialog box appears. The end user may confirm
the intention to exit VMware ACE or click Cancel to continue working.
The end user may also control the state of the virtual machine when it exits.
• Suspend the virtual machine — This is the default behavior. VMware ACE
suspends the virtual machine and closes. The next time the end user launches
VMware ACE, the virtual machine resumes operation from the point where it was
suspended.
