setting. In the following example, the ebooks and spreadsheets folders are both read-only even if the R
value is only placed after /home/jsmith folder path.
cdrserver.sharedFolders=d:\ebooks,;c:\spreadsheets,;/home/jsmith,R
Suppress the vSphere Console Display of a Linux Desktop

the Linux virtual machine. You can configure Linux virtual machines to ensure that the vSphere console is
blank when users connect to their desktops.
Procedure
u
On the ESXi host, add the following line to the Linux virtual machine's vmx file.
RemoteDisplay.maxConnections = "0"
The vSphere console display remains blank even when you connect to the virtual machine when the
user is logged out of the desktop.
