Hi Guys,
Becaue of the way we connect to a pretty large environment we use jump servers to use the vSphere client. We have had the infamous "repeating key" problem due to the extra hops and it's been solved by editing the .vmx file and setting:
keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000"
...works perfectly.
We are starting to use OVF templates internally to deploy all our virtual machines and despite having a working model to base the template on that contains the typematic command in it, once a OVF is made form it and then re-deployed, the typematic command in the .VMX file seems to be gone.
Is this proper behavior to toss out that added VMX file command? Is there any way to make it "stick" to a OVF file? I'm trying to avoid having the folks that do the deployments need to modify the .vmx file or the machine settings once it's been deployed, the the typematic command is pretty much required on all of our deployed machines.
Any adice or opinions would be much apprecaited!
