Problems synchronizing Oracle IRM desktop in a VMWare image

IRM Server Cannot Connect On Sync in VMWare
This question came up recently where someone was trying to sync a users rights with the Oracle IRM desktop from the IRM server. The environment was all hosted inside a VMWare image and unfortunately due to the nature of the way the Windows environment, when hosted inside a VMWare image, reports it’s network connectivity status, the IRM Desktop can have problems synchronizing rights. I thought I would quickly write the answer to this up in case anyone is building an IRM environment in VMWare.
Forcing the Oracle IRM Desktop online using registry settings The detail in this problem is when the Oracle IRM Desktop tries to do a sync, it first makes an operating system check to see if the machine is online or offline. However the Windows call made can often return a state of offline, even when there is valid connectivity. It seems to be an issue with the underlying VMWare network layer and the Windows operating system. Therefore we added some code which bypass these checks and always assume the system is online. This code can be used by adding two registry settings 
HKLM/Software/Sealedmedia/Common: value sealedmedia.http.online, set to string "1"
HKCU/Software/Sealedmedia/Sync/Auto: set value Online to "1"
