I have installed a trial version of Horizon View 4.2 and Workspace, View is working great using a client, and after a bit of fiddling, I got it syncing with Workspace, However when I try to access it through the Workspace link, it directs me to a view server URL, but throws out:

Hi Everyone.
I am installing VMware View Client with Local Mode (VMware-viewclientwithlocalmode-x86_64-5.3.0-1042023.exe) on a Windows 7 Client, and while trying to check out a Windows 8 Desktop, I got the below error:
"This desktop may only be checked out to a 64-bit capable client device" as shown below:

Clik here to view.
I have checked both Desktop (On the Right) & Client (On the Left) and both of them are 64-bit Operating Systems as shown.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Please Advice!
Say I have three hosts, and only two have the Nvidia GPU, what happens when I vmotion a VM to the host without the GPU? Does that VM lose the capability to use the GPU?
All,
I'm running through a PoC project with a customer using View 5.1 following the guidelines in "VMware Reference Architecture for Stateless Virtual Desktops on Local Solid-State Storage with VMware View 5" as close as we can.
http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10278
I have eight nodes all identically configured with local SSD storage - again all identical model drives, all empty.
Creating a pool of linked clones across this group creates some very uneven placement of the images.
As an example if I create a pool of 80 VM's on the 8 local discs the distribution will be something like...
Disc 1 - 30
Disc 2 - 5
Disc 3 - 0
Disc 4 - 25
Disc 6 - 10
Disc 7 - 10
Disc 8 - 0
If I then remove 30 V's from the pool it might delete all 30 from disk 1. At the moment every action on the pool has to be manually controlled.
Has anybody else come across this behavour.
I have some users that are reporting to me that when they return from a break / meeting that only about 2/3 of their monitor is showing the VM. If they have dual monitors the secondary monitor is all black and their VM is shrunk down to 2/3's of the other monitor. This started when we migrated them from 4.6 to 5.1.2 and reimaged their WYSE device to a different image with the 4.6 VIEW client. We are having to use the 4.6 client because there are too many issues with the 5 clients that WYSE is offering. This is not happening to everyone and for some it has taken about a week for it to happen. Below are some of the things that I could think of that might be causing this but I wanted some other suggestions and what to try to take care of this.
Any ideas what is going on here? Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi, I am new to VMware Horizon View and I have a question regarding the PCoIP protocol. Do you know if 3rd party RDP Virtual Channel driver can work with this protocol in VMware Horizon View? If so, what are the steps to configure the driver in this environment?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Hi All-
I am randomly getting the error during provisioning (50% of the time?):
Customization Operation Timed Out
Logging into the server shows nothing significant.
Anyone ever see this?
Guys,
Need your valuable inputs here.
I am trying to setup VMware view 5.2 environments in lab but having issues with sysprep. I don’t have actual windows 7 ent. Product keys (running on evaluation).
Since I don’t have KMS server, I am not trying quickprep.
Issue is, after creating desktop pool, view never finish the win7 guest customisation. If I see the VM console, it hangs at attached screenshot.
Steps followed.
I have tried to clone master image with above said customisation, its same issue.
Am I missing any step? Or it’s by design, we can’t clone/ sysprep windows 7 VM with evaluation license key?
Thanks,
Hello together,
we used Linked Clone Desktops in a View environment. Last week we had a server crash and had to setup a new Windows domain.
I put the VCenterServer and ConnectServer to new domain. Everything works fine but the login to View Administrator is not possible. How can I chance the Administrator account without login to View Administrator? Any ideas?
I have a View 5.1 test lab (one big ESX 5.1 with View 5.1). Everything works fine except when I try to create a linked clone pool with a master image that has more than one level of snapshots.. the result will automatically a Windows 7 link cloned that will not get nd of "provisioning" because Windows is corrupt. If I delete all snapshots and create one the pool will create juste fine. Various versions of view agents, vmware tools, esx patches have been tried. Even vanilla Windows 7 with 2 small snapshots will create the problem. 1 snapshot = ok.
Any ideas ?

Hi Everyone,
We have recently updated our View v5.0 system to View v5.1 by closely following the instructions in the published upgrade guide.
Our VDI system seems to be working OK in general since this upgrade. However, we have encountered the following new issues. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same and/or may have any advice please ?.

Perhaps these are just some new bugs included in View v5.1 ?. Not a big deal so we are just working around them for now but it would be excellent to be able to fix these up.
Thanks
Hallo,
we have the problem that we can not mirror or clone the desktop from zeroclient pcoip session over two monitors.
The situation is follow we are using clear cube zeroclient which support dual monitors and in the virtual machine there are both monitors detected and we can only extent the screen from monitor 1 to monitor 2 but we can not clone this display/desktop.
In the display settings i can only extent to monitor two but all other options to change primary display are grayed out.
We are using normal WinXP in the VM and Vmware View 4.5.
Has somebody a hint how to solve the problem? I was using google for this problem since ours but there is nothing to find which helps me.
best regards
dirk
Having upgraded to Horizon View 5.2 we have discovered our IronKeys no longer work. Prior to 5.2 we were running 5.0.1 but have started a fresh with a new base image. Reverting the agent on this new image to the 5.0.1 allows the IronKey to connect, but reverting back to 5.2 stops the IronKey working completely. This is tested without any applications or optimization, but with all available Windows updates.
Is anybody else in a position to confirm this situation, or to counter the belief IronKey's do not work with 5.2? Is there a policy setting that needs to be tweaked post agent installation?
Cheers
John
Can i continue to use self signed certs when upgrading from 5.1.2 to horizone 5.2? or do i have to use a trusted ca?
We have tested this on several Windows 7 systems (physical PC) that will hang on both shutdown and restart after installing VMWare View Agent. We did monitor the driver install and ensured it had completed before rebooting (so its not an issue of the VMWare View drivers not completing the installation). In our testing this only happens when the following conditions are present:
Hi All,
Anyone seen an issue where before a client can connect then need to run the VMware View Client by right clicking and selecting "run as administrator"? UAC is disabled, an uninstall and reinstall have been attempted.
There's no issue with the VDI deployment itself (apparently) but this user simply can't connect without running as admin.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gavin
The desktops in our new VDI environment are managed with RES Workspace Manager, thereby creating a new start menu and using the RES Workspace shell. When using a VDI on an iPad, the Unity Touch utility shows the complete Windows startmenu, thereby providing users access to item's I don't want them to see. So I'd rather disable the Unity Touch feature.
Is there a way to disable the Unity Touch on iPads? e.g. some registry key on the server?
Hello,
I use VMWare Horizon 5.2 and Windows 7 X64 VM.
When I log into a VM from any kind of client (Thin client, PC, iPad,...) the VM crash during the login process.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Is it possible to specify the user for a specific pool? For example, we have a pool that has only a single machine but it must be logged into as a specific username (to support oooolllddddd software). Can I entitle this pool to multiple users to all share the same credentials for that one pool? Only 1 would be able to login at a time, which is fine. We use RDP for this today, I'd just like to migrate it into View.
Hi All,
I am using view desktop with linked clone method.
Is there any best practice to backup user data persistent disks using VDP ?
