VMware Horizon View Client - Proxy Settings

August 12, 2015, 10:42 am

Hi,

 

I am using VMware Horizon View Client version 3.4.0 build-2769709 and having issues with the proxy configuration.

 

Using Windows 7, does it use the pac file configured in Internet Explorer? If there is a proxy server configured, does it use it? I have settings by simply specifying the pac file and the connection to the server continually times out, however when manually specifying the proxy server, I am able to connect, however not every time.

 

This leads me to suggest, it does not support the use of a pac file. During testing the IT Support Team created a pac file that directed all traffic to the proxy regardless of rules and it still failed to connect to the server -simply timing out.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this and if there is a way round it by forcing it to use the specified pac file?

 

Thanks,

Paul

View LinkedClone Desktops esxi 5.5.0 3568722 View 6.21 Become Locked and Stuck in "Reset Virtual Machine"

We have recently upgrade to view 6.21 and recomposed at the same time. Since then we have been having an average of 5-10 machines a day lock up and become stuck with "Reset Task" on the host esxi machine. There is nothing that can be done with that machine short of rebooting the host. We have been running VDI for 4 years and have not had the problem till we upgraded. We currently have 400 machines and this is a huge impact. We tried opened up a ticket #16902809002, but the tech basically was useless and said he needed logs to review and would get back to us but never did. This is really impacting our environment. We have found a number of articles that sound exactly like our issue (kb2073390) describes it perfectly, but we are several version past when this should have been resolved. I also have not been able to link the lock-up to a change in state (ie v-motion or reboot), but I am tempted to turn off HA and see if that could be leading to the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated and let me know if there is anything else that I can provide..

Java Application won't start after View Agent installation

Hey folks,

 

i have a problem with one of our thinapped applications. The application contains it's own Java libraries and works fine on every non VMware View Desktop.

I did some troubleshooting and found out, that the installation of the View Agent is causing this issue. I couldn't find out, what part of the View Agent exactly causes this behaviour.

 

This is the error message i get: The JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firmware tool could block the execution.

 

Hope you guys have an idea .

 

regards,

Edit: just found out that it's not a thinapp related issue. Moved to "VMware View"...

Problem with connecting to View Horizon 6.2.2

We have VDI enviroment with View 5.3 and vCenter 5.5 and decide to install new View 6.2.2 and vCenter 6, and move machines to new enviroment.

After migrating machines and installing View agent 6.2 on it, user cannot connect to his desktop: user is connected to View connection server, but when he try to connect to desktop the screen is black and after few seconds the session is down.

On View server there are warning logs every few seconds:

<DesktopControlJMS> [DesktopTracker] CHANGEKEY message from agent/a5afb226-4ef7-4292-b6b4-6d9f0adb4acc is discarded as it cannot be validated

<DesktopControlJMS> [JMSMessageSecurity] Message could not be validated: Signature invalid for identity agent/a5afb226-4ef7-4292-b6b4-6d9f0adb4acc

<DesktopControlJMS> [JMSMessageSecurity] Identity validation failed: UNKNOWN

 

Thin clients are t610 and t620 with HP ThinPro 5.2.

 

Even worse, when I deinstall View 6.2 agent and install 5.3 agent on that machines, users cannot connect to his destkot neither on old VDI enviroment (through View 5.3 connection server)?!

 

Thanks on any suggestion.

Hi

 

Ok so I've gone and uninstalled VMware View after a POC but I'm left with a couple of Replica machines in vCenter.

 

I don't have an option to remove these from inventory or disk, is it possible to remove them without View or will I need to re-install?

 

Best regards

Desktops with an image background are not displayed via PCOIP connections. Disconnecting and reconnecting from the session will display the proper background?

Desktops have a jpeg image background set in the parent.

half the time , on connect over pcoip , the background is not displayed.  Windows says the correct image file is the current background but it is not seen.

If you simply disconnect from the session and reconnect to the session, then the image is displayed.

vDI's keep going to sleep even though in Horizon View and Wyse Teradici it is configured not to. Group Polices for View are also configured that way.

We had a Connection broker OS corrupt and we had to repair the security broker to another connection broker. And we rebuilt and re synced the ADAM database.

The Pod Federation was in error so I tried to remove the one node from the config but while it was un installing it errored  with this

"PodFederation operation completed on local Connection Server, but timed out synchronizing with replicas in the same Pod"


Any hints?

VMWare Horizon Client won't launch

I have the Horizon Client version 3.3 installed on my Windows 8.1 computer. We use roaming profiles and folder redirection. Everything was working find up until last week the client stop working. If I click on the icon to launch the client, nothing happens. I see a task for VMware Horizon Client in task manager but the client doesn't open.

 

I already tried deleting the user profile and starting fresh but same thing happens. The client does work with another user account so the problem is obviously a user related issue.

 

Has anyone run into this kind of problem?

Horizon View 6.0.1 Connection server certificate replacement

I installed the new VMware horizon View 6.0.1.

On the connection server normally you can replace the standard certificate with a custom certificate.

Normally the only thing we need to do is change the friendly name to vdm and restart the services.

 

I did this and when starting the VMware Horizon View Blast Secure Gateway service I get an error.

Windows could not start the VMware Horizon Blast Secure Gateway service on Local Computer.

 

In the absg.log I see following message: keystoreutil.exe failed to load certificate from  [ 'windows-local-machine', 'MY', 'vdm' ] 1 Failed to acquire private key handle (error 2148073492)

 

Has someone seen this before?

Send-LinkedCloneRecompose doesn't update Image name on pool

March 4, 2016, 5:47 am

Hi all,

 

Using the "Send-LinkedCloneRecompose" Powershell command, everything appears to work fine:

  • The PS command indicates that the desktops are going to recompose (shows VMs Unchanged: 0).
  • The pool shows a recompose task for all desktops.
  • The pool task window shows that the recompose action is for the correct snapshot.
  • A new replica is created in vSphere.
  • Desktops are recomposed OK.

 

Get-Pool -Pool_id "$poolID" | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRecompose -ParentVMPath "$parentPath" -ParentSnapshotPath "newSnapPath" -schedule ((Get-Date).AddMinutes(1)) -forceLogoff $false -stopOnError $true

 

 

Problem:

  • Checking the pool information in View Administrator, the "Image" name still shows the old snapshot- this is obviously incorrect. This would normally change to the new snapshot name if the recompose operation is performed from within View Administrator.
  • Using Powershell to interrogate the pool information, the same details are shown - the old snapshot name is written.

    > Get-Pool -Pool_id "$poolID"

    > ...

    > parentVMSnapshotPath    : **original old snapshot path**

    > ...

So, is this a bug? Can this be reproduced, or is it a problem only I am experiencing?

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

View Blast login page

Can anyone relate to this Blast issue? We are using Google Chrome.

 

The Blast page stays signed in until the browser is closed, if you just close the tab (and keep the browser open), the session is still authenticated. Even the next day (after putting the laptop in sleep mode) you can choose a desktop from any assigned Desktop pool without re-authenticating.

 

Is there any way to build some sort of timer in such way, that the session will log the user off after being disconnected for a certain period?

Or, even better, log off the user when the tab is closed?

RDSH Prevent users from seeing folders or saving to rdsh server

Hello,

 

I currently have an RDSH server setup with a few application pool. I noticed that when the users click on "save as" in the application it either bring ups the applications own save dialog box or the windows explorer dialog box. I'd like some ideas on how others  are handling this as we don't want users to save or even browse the folders on the RDSH server, it would actually be nice if they could be redirected to a folder that contains a file that has instructions on how to save their work, like google drive , or their USB drives etc. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thank You

VMwareVDMDS Service Missing After Upgrading Connection server to Windows 2012 R2

Hi

 

I recently upgraded our connection server to View 6 which all worked fine.

 

I decided to upgrade the OS from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. The upgrade went through OK but when the server came up the View Connection service wouldn't start. It complained about missing a dependency which was the VMWareVDMDS service which was no longer there.

 

Has anyone come across this when upgrading the OS?

 

I'm a little stuck on what to do next. Any help appreciated.
