IE 11.
maps.google.com, type in an address, it will show the map or satellite view for just a second and then disappear. black space for satellite or off-white for the maps.
I believe it was working before and we recently updated to IE 11.
Use software rendering in IE options has no effect.
Any ideas?

Hi, I am installing Horizon View and as soon as I want to add any users from AD in the any of the Horizon View Roles i.e. administrator try to add users to a pool or event to admin console it tells me “username unknown type 11. Has ayone seen this before
Hey everyone, Im looking for best practice on naming convention for linked clone pools.
i have multiple pools now that have different purpose and each time im naming them a little differently id liek to come up with a standard scheme. i want to see what other people are doing.
what im doing now.
location-poolname###-VDI
for example
US-OFF001-VDI (united states-office is the application, 001 is the number-VDI)
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help, we are experiencing desktop sessions which are going over our allocated time of 120 minutes for session duration. The users are connecting via VMWare Client 4.5 using Wyse Winterms S30. I have just started to investigate this and the only factor I have noticed is that this is happening to users who are not logging off, whenever they finish for the day they just lock their screen but this shouldn't matter? It should just end the session no matter what?
Regards,
Ross
Hello together,
I have a problem with View 6.0.0 build-1884746 and the event database from mssql.
I always get after a few weeks the following message:
Unable to create events tables: Cannot drop the view 'FR01_user_events', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Then I go to my database admin and he renamed the view FR01_user_events. After that the connection server can create a new view in the mssql and all is fine, but the error comes every few weeks back. :-(
Has anyone still such the same problem and a solution for this?
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas
Happy New Year VMware View implementers! We have a fresh new top 20 list of VMware View specific KBs to help you avoid these issues. Pass it on!

We're having this issue at random. We previously opened a case with VMWare, but the solution didn't work. They had suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the view agent. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced or worked with an issue like this?
View 5.3 - Windows 7 VDI desktops (32 bit).
A user logs into the view client, connects to the pool, the connection server allocates a session, but the user's login gets stuck on the Windows "Welcome" screen. The only fix we've found is to restart the client VM and have them try and re-connect.
Hello. Since the installation of the major Windows 8.1 update sometimes the mouse cursor disappears after log in (unlock) or when switching between multiple VM's. After reconnecting the mouse cursor is back. Has anyone had similar experiences? We have a zero client to connect to the VMs. We use Vmware View Horizon with the newest updates and only with PCoIP.
Edit: I have already reinstalled VMware Tools and VMware View Agent
Has anyone had any success getting the view client installed on a Ubuntu 14.04 x64 host? It's not in the canonical repo (it is in 12.04 x32)
I can get the client installed by doing the following:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openssl098/libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.1_i386.deb /opt
(using gdebi [apt-get install gdebi]
debi /opt//libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.1_i386.deb
gdebi /opt/vmware-view-client_2.2.0-0ubuntu0.14.04_i386.deb
I can successfully connect using the client, however when I launch a VM I just get a blank console that eventually closes on its own. Error Log below:
May 08 09:45:19.738: vmware-view.bin 22581| Spawn of vmware-view-usb failed: Failed to execute child process "vmware-view-usb" (No such file or directory)

Any thoughts?
Hi,
I have had a lot of trouble getting the Horizon View 3.2.0 Client working on my freshly installed Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit.
Seams like VMware has very limited support for Horizon View client on Ubuntu when it comes to 64 bit, and to be honest I find that VERY DISAPOINTING. COME ON.. WHO USES 32 bit anymore!
I finally that decided to publish a generic client for Linux on the website, so that is a good thing.
Just to be absolutely clear I used this package: https://download3.vmware.com/software/view/viewclients/CART14Q4/VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
I installed that package using these commands in the catalog I downloaded the package to.
sudo chmod +x VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
sudo ./VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
I enabled everything in the wizard, and at the end of the installation you are able to scan for missing dependencies. Turns out that there are a lot when you are running 64 bit.
After a lot of work and realizing that google for once was no help what so ever, I found that the following worked.
Run all the following commands as root.
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libxml2:i386
apt-get install libssl1.0.0:i386
apt-get install libXtst6:i386
apt-get install libudev1:i386
apt-get install libpcsclite1:i386
apt-get install libtheora0:i386
apt-get install libv4l-0:i386
apt-get install libpulse0:i386
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.1
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1
After this my scan reported no errors, and I was able to start the Horizon View Client. There was no icon for it so I ran the command vmware-view from the command line, and then locked the icon to that task bar.
I got one error when starting the client, that my ssl lib was old, but according to Ubuntu it is patched, so it does not need to be version 1.0.0i.
I am not certain that all features work. I have a nasty feeling that USB redirection will not work, since I have never gotten that to work on Ubuntu 64 bit, but you can test that for yourself.
I hope this helps someone, and I wish VMware would have done this work for us. I suppose that this is more or less the same to get it working on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.

We are trying to enable TIme Zone Redirection for VMware Blast but it's not working.
Some of our employees are located in countries with different time zones than our own. So in order for Outlook and other applications to function correctly, View should be able to pick up the time zone of the client on which the connection is initiated. The VMware Horizon Client picks up the time zone spot-on, no exclusions. It works all the time.
Blast however, does not. The browser itself, displays the clients time zone (What is my time zone?), but Blast refuses to change the VDIs system time.
Is there a setting for time zone redirection for Blast?
I already looked at the ADM files provided by VMware.
We are currently using View 5.3.0 build 1427931.
Using a known good template, we created a new floating pool with a full VM. After the new VM's are created, the Horizon View Admin has their status as:
"Status: Agent unreachable
Pairing State: In pairing.....
Configured by OURCONNECTIONSERVER.DNS
Attempted theft by: "
The connection server, compose server, and all the agents are running v. 5.3.3
To try to resolve the issue, I have:
-Verified could ping FQDN from both the server and local agent
-Uninstalled Agent - Reboot - Reinstall Agent
-Followed VMware KB 2038679
-Verified the broker registry entry on the local agent
I know if I deleted the pool and tried a different template, that it might resolve the problem, but I wanted to see if anyone has ever ran into this issue and found a fix.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm having some trouble following installation on the Horizon.
I downloaded the evaluation copy of VMware Horizon View 6.0.1 build-2088845, I'm trying to add a vCenter Server in the administration console but I'm getting an error.
First I went into Licensing and put in the evaluation license.
Secondly, I went into Servers and choose to add a vCenter Server, put in the vCenter information of the server and click next, I then get an Invalid Certificate Detected message that indicates the following - Server's certificate is not trusted & Server's certificate cannot be checked. I clicked on View Certificate and choose Accept to ignore the invalid Certificate. I then proceed and choose Do not use View Composer and clicked Next, I do not choose anything in the Storage settings click Next, click Finish and I'm getting the error - Error saving vCenter entry.
I checked around a bit to find if this is a known issue, the only outcome I found is related to versions 4 and compatibility issues with the vCenter.
My vSphere vCenter Server is version - 5.5 (Latest I could find).
Does anyone know what could be the reason for this issue?
Any logs I could look at or provide?
Much appreciate any assistance.
Let's say you allowed your users to connect to two pools.
Pool #1 and Pool #2 (backup).
How do you find out if you're already connected to pool #2 so you don't have to create a duplicate session on Pool #1 using the View Client?
With the Zero Client, we were able to tell by looking at the login status if you want to "reconnect" to the old session (Pool #2) or "connect/create" a new session on Pool #1.
Is there a trick to make the View Client on Windows/MAC to behave like the View Client on the Zero Client?
I would love to know how.
I was about to open a support ticket but think of asking the other experts in here first.
Thank you all.
Hi
Can anyone tell me if tags are supported with Cloud Pod Federationa in Horizon View 6 please?
I have 4 Connection servers with tags attached to 3 of them with tagged the same as the desktop pools they should broker. Connection server 4 is tagged with a single desktop pool.
Each of the pools are associated with different Global Entitlements but the tag filtering does not apear to work as expected. I see all Global Entitlements when connecting directly to Connection server 4 rather than just the tagged pool.
I can't find anything in the documentation that would suggest tags are not supported in Cloud Pod Federation. Can anyone clarify this?
Thanks

All of our View users got kicked off their desktops and after looking for teh cause i found in the event database on teh view conection server that there was an SQL error of some kind. That seems to be teh only place i can see the error. Here is what the error says..."Unable to create events tables: Cannot drop the view 'user_events', because it does not exist or you do not have permission." This sql server has been running the same way for teh last year plus. No changes were made in the past few months but all of the sudden... I can't fnd any other event in the SQL server and the only errors that show up are in the conection broker app log. Event ID 104 Broker_Machine_Not_Ready. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks for looking!

Hi,
I am using the VMWare Horizon View app in Windows RT and if I hit alt+tab or windows+key left or right to manage the windows on my guest the host is effected. Is it possible to lock this? I would really like to be able to control my windows on my guest.
Next to that the app logs out of the server as soon as it doesntt have the focus for more than half a minute or so.
Finally signs like ' and letters like e with an accent are almost impossible to get right. Can this be changed?
Thanks!

Hi,
We have a VMWare solution (6) and we are trying to do the following with the view client when a specific desktop is launched:
- disable the shade menu bar (where you have the option button, minimize/maximeze etc)
- redirect all the keyboard and special keys inputs to the client and not to the host machine where the client was launched (I'm refering to keys as <Window Key> or key combinations as <CTRL>+<ALT>+<Delete> or <ALT>+<Tab> etc)
I think for the windows machines that are part of our domain we can use maybe the "Enable the shade" and "Windows key combination redirection" settings from the vdm_client.adm template, but is there anything that we can do for machines that are not part of our domain (as BYOD devices) or/and are running something different than Windows OS (as MacOS or Google Chrome OS)?
Thank you!
