Its not a "server" its a Virtual Machine. It's VMWare Player not whatever you had. Add a comment. Sorted by: Reset to default.

This article shows you how to take a snapshot of a VMware Workstation Pro 16 virtual machine. I have also shown you how to restore a VMware Workstation Pro 16 virtual machine from a snapshot. I have also shown you how to rename and delete snapshots of a VMware Workstation Pro 16 virtual machine. I was born in Bangladesh. In these situations, you can take a snapshot of the virtual machine before performing the task, do the task, and see how it goes.

Click on Yes. The virtual machine should be restored from snapshot snapshot As you can see, the selected snapshot is renamed. The snapshot should be removed. VM clones require additional disk space; synchronizing clones between machines is also a drawback. Rational usage of resources is the advantage of VM sharing. You can manage remote VMs in a similar fashion to how you manage VMs running on your host machine on which VMware Workstation is installed.

Moreover, with the Virtual Network Editor, you can create multiple networks and configure them as needed. Each bridged network can be bridged with different physical network adapters. There is no Virtual Network Editor. As for bridged networking, you can select a physical network adapter to be bridged in the VM settings after selecting the Bridged network by pressing the Configure Adapters button. VMware Workstation Pro has a built-in access control feature that can be used for VM encryption and restrictions.

Enabling encryption prevents unauthorized VM access such as reading data from VM virtual disks, reading and editing VM configuration files, etc. After entering the encryption password, a VM becomes available. Enabling restrictions protects a VM against changing VM configuration and allows you to set the expiration date for a VM after which date, a VM will not start. A VM must be encrypted before enabling restrictions. The encryption password and restrictions password may be different.

From that point, you can edit VM settings and start the VM. VMware Player cannot edit encryption and restriction settings — you cannot encrypt a VM, and you cannot disable encryption set in VMware Workstation Pro. See the section about licensing below to read more details. This feature is called raw device mapping RDM and can be used when a VM needs to have a direct access to a physical disk of the host machine, for example, when a physical disk contains a lot of data, and you do not wish to create a new virtual disk for copying all that data.

This particular mapped disk is called the RDM disk. When talking about VMware Workstation Pro vs Player in the context of nested virtualization, it is necessary to mention that both solutions support nested virtualization and can run a VM inside another VM.

This option allows you to avoid entering a login and password manually after loading the operating system on a VM. Text, images and other specified information used by applications can be copied from a guest OS and pasted into the host OS and vice versa. Seamless desktop integration Unity mode. Windows in the guest applications can be displayed among windows of the applications in the host operating system, much as you would run guest OS applications in the host OS.

VMware Workstation Pro generally has more features and provides more options that result in a more detailed GUI with a higher number of menus and buttons. You can manually close VM tabs even if a VM is running. On the screenshot below, you can also see a VM that is in a suspended state on pause.

When a VM is suspended, the preview of the VM interface is saved on a screenshot at the moment when you sent a command to suspend the VM. In the left pane of the VMware Workstation Pro window, the VMs you have opened are listed, and their status stopped, running, suspended is displayed.

This pane is called a VM library. You can click the VM name in the list to open this VM in the tab. At the top of the window, you can see a menu bar and the VM state change button. In the right bottom corner of the VMware Workstation Pro window, the virtual devices indicators are located in the status bar see the screenshot above.

The indicator is active when a virtual hard disk is active. If there are two virtual hard disks, then two HDD indicators are displayed, and so on.

This rule is true for other devices displayed in the indicators panel of the status bar. You can click the indicator icon and edit the device settings. The indicator of a virtual network adapter of a VM is blinking similarly to how the LED near the Ethernet port of the physical network adapter would when the adapter is connected to the network and data is sent and received.

You can connect to a virtual printer, if virtual printers are enabled in Preferences. Sound device. The audio card of the host machine can be used for audio input and output in the VM. USB device 1. Message log. You can read the message log for the current VM.
