VDIs gets disconnected after restarting Connection Server

July 11, 2016, 4:37 am

Dear All,

 

I've implemented vmware Horizon View 7.0.0-3633490

I'm using Blast protocol to connect to the VDI pool.

What my understanding use to be is that, If the connection server is restarted, all the connected sessions to the virtual desktops will remain connected and any new connection wont take place.

I'm trying this scenario in my environment, but unfortunately, even the connected sessions are getting disconnected.

I went through the below solution provided in this forum but without luck

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/469878?start=0&tstart=0

 

below are the settings for the Secure Gateway... (previously both the check boxes were ticked for PCoIP & Blast), even after disabling them the connection to the virtual desktops remains for a minute and then it gets disconnected.

Appreciate your help

 

Regards...

Advice needed.

 

VMWare ESXi 6.0
VMWare View 6.2.0
Nvidia Grid K2 VGPU

Linked Clones with dedicated, auto assignment. Never refreshed or recomposed unless done manually.
Windows 7 with Persistant Disk D:, Disposable Disk W:

 

Once in while, usually during the weekend, the powered OFF desktops are losing some of it's customization.

 

Here's some of the examples:

Chrome browser back to defaults.  Bookmarks, bookmarks bar and home button reset.
VCenter login shows the first login info tab "What is a VCenter, what is a cluster etc.
RDP and Putty previous sessions cleared.
Explorer - show hidden files, file extensions etc reset.
*.txt was associated with notepad ++, reset to notepad.
Windows recent list empty...

 

The weird part, some of the settings in HKCU are removed.

Profile is located on the persistant disk in d:\users.

I browsed the view client and view composer log and found nothing that would indicate such reset.
Should I look at the Storage Accelerator settings (VSA)?  Regenerate OS Disk is set at every 7 days.
How about Reclaim VM disk space when exceeds 1GB..

Any ideas?  Has anyone experienced this before?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

USB Redirection breaks when creating automated VMs from templates

October 13, 2016, 6:03 am

We have USB redirection enabled in the View agent on the parent VMs we use for linked clones.  This always works.

 

However, this does not work on machines created by vCenter in automated desktop pools.  These are not linked clones.  They result from cloning a tempalte and using the vcenter customization specification.  We have verified that the USB redirection is 100% installed on the template.

 

Has anyone seen this before?  Our workaround has been to reinstall the View agent after the new desktop is created, but this is not a smooth process.

Connection attempt is taking too long - anyway to increase this timeout?

Happy Friday!

 

Having an issue with users accessing a View 6.2.3 environment using BLAST and receiving an error: "The connection attempt is taking too long to complete. Do you want to cancel?"

 

The pool is set up to power down desktops after log off to conserve resources (classroom environment - lots of desktops across multiple classes but only heavily used during a specific class times).  When a user logs in and launches the desktop, the desktop machine powers on as expected.  From power on to the desktop being ready to accept the connecting is averaging around 40 seconds.  It appears that this time out for the connection attempt is 30 seconds. 

 

view-connection-attempt.png

 

If the user clicks No (to not cancel the connection attempt) the desktops launches after about an additional 5-15 seconds. Anyone know of away to increase this time out?

 

I have not tested with the View Client since BLAST is the primary method for accessing this environment.  Check through the GPO settings and couldn't find anything, but I may (likely) have overlooked something.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks

Is it possible to disable mouse window-edge grabbing?

Since the upgrade to 3.0, the View client on my Mac "grabs" the mouse at the edge of the window.   If I have the View Client as the front window (only taking up part of my Mac's screen), when I move my mouse across the window, it pauses when it gets to the edge.  

 

My guess is that this is a feature for Windows 8 users.  It's so annoying, I'd love to turn it off.

I was previously running VMware Horizon Client 3.5 on El Capitan. I have 3 monitors, one is vertical and the other 2 horizontal, and all worked great as separate monitors until I switched to Sierra. Now, I can only use one of them and when I enter full-screen mode, it no longer works across all three. I've tried finding a solution to this in various threads, but cannot. Any help would be appreciated.

On the drivers website of the T620 TC, the latest version of the VMware horizon client is 4.1

On the vmware website i can download VMware horizon client version 4.2

Do i always have to use the "embedded" version of the Horizon client from the T620 driver site, or can i also use the "general" VMware horizon client 4.2 version?

 

Thanks

Redirection between HP T620 and VDI

We "migrated" our desktop environment to VDI. A third party is hosting the VDI environment.

We have HP T620 thin clients with 4 GB mem

I'm new to VDI. I'm looking for documentation/articles/advise about how VDI works on a Thinclient.

What is redirected, how does the VDI client uses the resources of the TC.

 

Some users get errors about low memory on the TC's. Does the VDI do some kind of paging?

We also have some blackscreen issues on the VDI. We have open a ticket with vMware.

And some other issues(Keyboard lags/performance/disconnection)

 

So I would like to know how the VDI interacts with the thinclient.

Thanks

We are using View 7 and client 4.2 62 bit.  The OS is Windows 7 SP1 64 bit.

I want to configure the Horizon client to automatically connect to USB devices when a user connects to a virtual machine.  In looking at the manual, I so far don't see how to do this.  Anybody know how to do this?

Adobe docs print partly garbage using 4.2 client with redirected printer

Now that we deployed the 4.2 client (4.2.0 build-4336726) I'm seeing that on some Adobe docs are now printing some garbage (random letters and numbers) in place pf some text. Not with all documents.  This totally reproducible when I roll back to the previous version, it prints fine and when I load 4.2 it starts printing junk.    If I print to another printer that isn't redirected from the local machine it prints fine as well.

 

Anyone see this or know the fix? besides putting the old one back on.

 

Thanks!

Horizon 7 w/ Persona Syncing

Hello all,

 

I am trying to get Persona set up so that My Documents, Desktop, AppData, etc. are synced using Persona.  I have the following GPO's set up...

 

Manager user persona - Enabled

Persona repository location - Enabled

Filed and folders excluded from roaming - Enabled

 

I can see that these folders are being created and followed in the user profile on the share, but when logging onto a different machine in that same pool it does not pull anything saved in that persona profile.

 

For instance, I created a file in My Documents called Test.txt on Machine A.  When I log off and browse to the persona user profile, I see MY DOCUMENTS\Test.txt.  When I log on to Machine B, I can't see Test.txt in My Documents.  What am I missing?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Has anyone been able to get the Horizon View Client (VMware-Horizon-Client-3.5.0-2999900.x64.bundle) to successfully run on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64?

 

I was able to get the all to install fine after linking the to with the command. The SCAN all comes back successful. The app opens fine. I am able to connect to View Server. I am also able to see the VDI. But when I try to connect to it, I get kicked out and see this message in the terminal window.

Windows 10 1607 start menu issues.

Hi, I have an issue with Windows 10 1607 and a linked clone pool.

We do not have this issue with Windows 10 1511 linked clone pool.

 

Before we shutdown the VM, we uninstall several built-in apps logged on as the local administrator.

These create empty/dead tiles on the start menu.

I can delete these tiles from the start menu so it clean, nothing there.

 

When the pool provisions a new VM the start menu always looks like the original administrator with the empty/dead tiles, before I deleted them.

 

I do not have this problem with our Windows 10 1511, only 1607.

 

I have tried agents 6.1 and 6.2.

 

Any suggests on how to fix this?

Windows 10 sysprep - Guest customization is already pending

I have a windows 10 golden image that I have converted to a template and am provisioning a desktop pool using this and a vCenter customisation specification.  It clones the machine ok, but then fails with the error 'Guest customization is already pending'.  It does not create any logs on the VM and the sysprep file is not copied into the panther folder.  I THINK that I have run sysprep on this machine once and am wondering if this is causing the issues. If i create a snapshot and use Quickprep it is fine.  Has anyone else had this issue and knwo how to fix it?  It is looking like I may need to recreate my Golden Image otherwise :-(

Windows 10 failing at customizing

Have a View environment on 6.1.1 on ESXi 6.0 and am trying to build a Windows 10 pool to see if performance is decent.  It's not that great in a console.  I imagine there are no optimization scripts yet for Win 10, but eagerly awaiting such things. 

 

I have the base image built and all looks fine there.  When I go to build the pool (floating, linked clones), the machines get built and go through power on and then they hang at customizing.  It looks like the machines are blue screening for some reason and I can't figure out how to check that. 

 

Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?  Do I need my ESX guys to update the hosts beyond the 6.0 that was release in March? What about vCenter?  I don't see any newer View components beyond the 6/4/15 release and that is the release I am running on all View components.

Windows 10 1607, some applications not working in linked clones

October 19, 2016, 5:35 am

Hello:

I am currently trying to figure out a very strange issue with Windows 10 1607 (we did not have these issues with 1511).  We have a few applications installed on our golden master VM.  I am recomposing our pools and within the linked clones, some of the applications simply do not run at all.  These applications will run fine on the golden master VM, just not on any linked clones.  An example is Office 2016 click to run, it will crash.  Another is Symantec Endpoint Protection which opens but shows a blank screen and autoprotect is malfunctioning.  I am not sure why these applications would break simply from the cloning process.  I am using the standard guest customization, with only a couple of tweaks, mainly setting the local administrator password and mostly defaults. 

Any ideas on why this would happen, only with Windows 10 1607?  I have seen a lot of problems related to guest customization for Windows 10 but mostly that's where it stalls or freezes and does not work.  It's working and completing but somehow these applications are breaking.

Thanks in advance.

Muti-Factor Authentication with DUO Security

We are changing from RSA to DUO Security for our MFA using Horizon View 6.2.3. On first screen when using the Hoizon View Client it display's "username" and "passcode" when in fact you are entering your AD "username" and "password".

 

What I am looking for is a way to change the wording of "passcode" to "password" so that our users do not get confused and end up trying to enter a DUO passcode.

 

Has anyone experienced the same issue using DUO Security?

Deploying WIndows 10 Proof of Concept - Guest Customization Does Nothing - PLEASE HELP!!!

February 16, 2016, 12:35 pm

Hi Everyone,

 

I have come here in desperate need of help.

 

I am setting up a Proof of Concept for ESX 6 /w Horizon View 6.2

 

I have the basic system up and running. I have the Desktop pool created for a Windows 10 Deployment (Full VM's not Linked-Clones).

For my test I have taken a raw WIndows 10 Installation and I have installed VMtools and View Agent then created a Template of it used for deployment.

 

Right now other then the fact that sometimes the VM when it is created it gets stuck on customization (still working out details as to how I can get it fully prepared and made "available" once created... I thought if you had agent installed and VMtools installed this is all that was required) but anyways the MAIN issue I have was that all VM's generated had the same Computer name so it sent our company DC's into a frenzy shifting VM's all over the company looking for the next DC to handle the same name.

 

I started working with Guest Customization but nothing seems to work.

 

I tried making the customization by cloning my gold image so I could add the customization to it at that point and then template it for deployment. This did not seem to do anything (no name changes or domain join or anything). As far as I could tell nothing worked.

 

Next I tried to make the customization in vCenter and then apply it to each VM created in View as they are generated (Using the guest customization option when creating the Desktop Pool). This produced the same results... no name changes or joining the domain...

 

I am using both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise (Evaluations) for testing on both of these configurations.

 

I had read that Windows 10 has a problem As stated here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026556

I set it to disable the activation in the hopes that the customization would work. Still nothing works.

 

Do I need to sysprep it for Guest Customization to work (Is this a requirement)?

 

I hope all you VMware guru's can help me. This is my first experience with using Horizon View and I have been tasked with transitioning the company to this system in coming months.

 

What am I overlooking... what am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any information you guys can provide in assisting me otherwise I might need to go to VMware directly for these issues (Since I am int he process of lining up all our licensing with them on this product but I can not even show the system fully working yet). Please load me up with details so I can get my head around this.

 

Thank You!

Persona not working - sometimes

Hello - We use floating pools (all Win 7) with Persona and force a refresh on log out.  Our hosts are at 5.5.0 (3343343) and the connection servers are version 6.2.1-328346.  After logging out and waiting 5+ minutes some of my users occasionally find Persona has not pushed any of their files/config/settings to their desktop.  It's as though they are logging in for the first time to a new desktop.   If they log out then back on Persona usually starts working and they see their normal desktop.  Has anyone ever experienced this?

Any help is appreciated.

Pete
