Hello,
Is it possible to generate a new Virtual Desktop in Horizon 6 with a specific machine name when the pool has been configured with a VM naming pattern?
Id like to delete a specific machine and then recreate it for troubleshooting purposes. I tried to disable provisioning and then removing a test machine from disk. However when I re-enabled provisioning View picked up with the next number in the pattern instead of starting over where I deleted the machine.
We have View Connection server 5.3 and want to upgrade to 6.2.
1. Is it possible to export configuration data from 5.3 and import to 6.2? I try with vdmexport and vdmimport command but on 6.2 I don't see pools (now it is called Farms as I see).
2. If I going to upgrade, what about View agnet 5.3, does it work with Connection server 6.2 or I have to immediately upgrade view agent on every desktop?
Thanks on help
Hello,
will the new linux client 4.0 be able to take advantage of the vaapi driver for Intel HD to decode H264 for Blast Extreme? That would be good to reduce power usage and allow the use of cheap laptops to access horizon!
We are running View 5.0.
Wondering if Windows 10 is fully supported.
If not, what is the earliest version of View to support Windows 10?
Hi *,
since we migrated from 5.3 to 6.1 we experience a strange issue.
Following scenario:
1 External contractors
2 using non-standard workstations
3 having View Client 5.4 installed (Juniper seems not to be supporting newer clients)
4 connecting via Juniper VPN gateway
5 users have been assigned to a automated full clone pool providing customized developer vDesktops
6 vDesktops are not joined to any domain / hence a local admin user is used to logon to the vDesktops
7 connection to connection servers can be successfully established
8 logon to vDesktops successful
9 Desktop Status View Administrator: Unassigned user connected / still all is good
10 after disconnecting, NOT logging off / status changes to: Unassigned user disconnected
11 ISSUE: Users trying to re-establish a connection to their individually assigned vDesktop receive an error message that there are no desktops available / hence are not able to proceed with their work?
11 TEMP SOLUTION: logged on local admin user needs to be manually logged off which results in enabling the users to access their vDesktops again
while having 5.3 in place the relationship between the connecting domain user and the respective vDesktop could always be kept in place! now it seems somehow different as in View Administrator you do not even see who (Domain User) has
connected to the vDesktop in the standard 'Machines' view....
any ideas?

Hi,
I created a manual desktop pool with dedicated assignment and there isn't power policy option during the creation of the desktop pool.
I have installed 6.2.2 release of Horizon connection server.
If you think it's normal, do you have any ideas to overcome this problem? How to get all virtual machines always power on?
Thank you,
The company I am at rarely has to deploy new view clients, so you can imagine my surprise when I tried to the other day and was greeted with an error message. After doing some investigation, it seems that part of the View Composer database is missing; namely, all of the tables that start with SVI from what I can tell. The composer service will not start, and is giving me this error (which makes perfect sense in the context of those tables being missing):
Failed to perform VMware View Composer module initialization.

I've found articles talking about uninstalling view composer and reinstalling with a new DB, then copying over some data, but what do I do if the original tables don't exist? The company uses a Barracuda backup appliance, and the database restore fails so pulling the backups is not an option. Any suggestions on how I can get this running?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has knowledge of or has users connecting via remote access through an SSL VPN (clientless) using PCoIP? I know SSL VPN using a full tunnel with a client will allow you to connect using PCoIP, but what about a clientless SSL VPN solution ? Juniper only allows you to connect to the virtual desktop via RDP. I believe Cisco ASA is the same way.
Is this just not possible, or am I not looking at the right vendors?
Thanks,
Mike
Hello,
today I discovered some strange acting in case of pcoip and view client.
I've setup and successfully running horizon view for almost a year now.
Than I've implemented ssl connection with certificates. Horizon Blast is working like a charm
and connectiong via view client for android works as well. But if I try to connect to the view security server
with a windows client I get an error after login "tunnel connection could not be established".
I don't know if this helps, but my horizon instance is sitting behind a reverse proxy with SNI, so it can
handle all the certificate requests. In view administrator console everything is green and ready to use. I also enabled ssl connection
in the global rules. Ports 8443 and 4172 are also open and forwarded to the connection server.
I have no clue, why I can logon with an android client but not with a windows client?
It would be very nice, if someone can help me solving that problem.
Kind Regards
Herb
Hi All,
I keep getting events in my vCenter running Horizon View
"Recompute virtual disk digest"
I see this event every 30 sec, is this something to be concerned about?
Thanks,
James.
Hello,
I am having issue when trying to connect as "current user" via View client 3.5.2.
I am getting this error GSSAPI_ERROR_GASSAPI failed: GSSAPI call (GSSAPI_ProcessClientContext) failed with unknonwn error .
If I switch and enter credentials manually I can login without any issue.
Have anybody come across this issue?
Regards
John
Hello,
I have created automated linked clone based dedicated desktop pool with automatic user assignment.
I have assigned this to a group of user.
Issue I have is that if anybody from this group connects to vm. Status in view admin page changes to unassigned user connected.
Any idea why is this happening?
I would appreciate a bit of help on this.
Thank you
John
Hi All,
I am following the Deploying and Configuring Access Point guide, Chapter 2 System Requirements and Deployment - Page 19.
I'm deploying from an OVF template, on the customization template wizard I am pointing the access point at an individual VMWare connection server, with the relevant URL and server thumbprints from the Certificate on the connection server. Upon completion you should be able to browse to the appliance via https:..FQDN of AP appliance but I cannot get this web portal page to display. I see "cannot display page", and have reconfigured multiple times without success.
The appliance replies to ping via IP address and FQDN. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?
Thanks,
James
When can we expect the VMware Horizon Client for Windows 10 Mobile....waiting for the ultimate end-user-experience > VMware Horizon with Lumia 950XL and Continuum
I'm testing View Horizon 6.0 and have come up with a weird issue.
My VMs applications (Internet Explorer, Media Player, ....) keep crashing when I close them stating that the Application stopped working.
In Windows event viewer Application log and Event ID 1000 is raised, stating the application crashed trying to unload the module vmwsci.dll
Looking at the vmwsci.dll, it is from VMware . Description states that is VMware Horizon View Agent PCoIP Smart Cart Interception DLL.
The thing is that when I installed the agent, I didn't install the smart card portion of the agent, so why is the dll still installed?
Also, if I rename the dll. to vmwsci.dll.000, the VM works perfectly fine.
any Ideas?
Hello Everyone,
I have a VM that shows in vSphere that it is connected but when I go to the admin it shows disconnected. How do I connect this one back up? It is on 5.5 as well. Thanks!
Hi
On our Wyse thinclients it autoconnects to a pool even though the user is entitled to more than one pool, when they use the Windows client they get the option to select which pool.
How can I stop this?
Thanks
John
We have recently begun a project to support off-shore developers through VDI. The developers will be coming from overseas through a VPN to a third-party data center in southern U.S., then using the View Client to attach to their VDI instance. I was asked the recommendations on bandwidth for their connections, but haven't been able to find anything concrete that states something along the lines of "for best user experience you should have x-level connectivity or xMBps". Also of concern will be latency. Does anyone know of any technical guides for this information?
Using the latest versions of IOS and Horizon app, when I connect to a windows 10 VM the resolution will not scale properly. Any thoughts? I've attached a couple screenshots taken from my ipad. If I choose a resolution lower than 2048x1536 I am unable to see the entire desktop.
Hello do You plan to update the Horizon client for iOS?
Current version lacks iPad pro support (app resolution is very low), iOS9 multitasking is also not available.
