Information

VM console drag and drop operations should be disabled.

Rationale:

VM console drag and drop operations are disabled by default (not explicitly specified); however, explicitly disabling this feature enables audit controls to check that this setting is correct.

Solution

To explicitly disable VM console drag and drop operations, run the following PowerCLI command:

# Add the setting to all VMs
Get-VM | New-AdvancedSetting -Name 'isolation.tools.dnd.disable' -value $true

Default Value:

Disabled
