ENABLE Copy Paste operation between a Virtual Machine and your local machine Via Powershell

Below steps allows you to ENABLE Copy Paste operation between a Virtual Machine and your local computer. 

However VMware does not recommend this manipulation to avoid and limit Exposure of Sensitive Data Copied to the Clipboard section.

Enable-VMCopyPaste function allows you to enable copy Paste operation between a Virtual Machine and your local machine.

When using PowerCli, this setting can be applied without powering off the VM. However you'll need to do a stun/unstun operation (i.e. power on/off, suspend/resume, create/delete snapshot/storage VMotion) to achieve the same thing.

Enable-VMCopyPaste -VM "test"

  This will enable the copy paste of the server/Computer name test.
