Default printer is not remembered in VDI

$
0
0

Hi,

 

we have vmware vSphere6 and VDI desktop infrastructure. Every time user loggs in into VDI his default printer is not the printer which it made default in previous login. Vm pool is Automated Desktop Pool with source vCenter (linked clone). This happens on win8 or win10, it doesn't matter.

I found this in discussion:

 

I found the sollution eventually.

 

Its realated to the "network location awareness" service

 

2 options:

[s]1. (for every user) disable the "Network Location Awareness" Service in the services console and include it in your gold image

(i believe its related to: every guest generates there own network ID, if the ID is different NLA sets the default printer to the system default (which in my case is the PDF creator)[/s] (sorry guys, this was NOT the sollution)

 

2. If you do not want to disable the NLA service,  Do it on a per-user base in the current user registry (see below)

 

Create a Key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers ... named: Defaults

Then create an entry (string value): Disabled and set it to: 1

 

--- printer_per_user.reg ----

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Defaults]
"Disabled"="1"

 

but registry editing and disabling service didn't helped. Any more ideas?

Trouble connecting to VM's after 5.1.1 upgrade

$

Having a strange issue when we try to connect to our VM's after our upgrade to 5.1.1.  Keep in mind, the VM's show "Available" in View Manager this entire time.  On the first attempt to connect to a VM, the client will eventually time-out with the error "All Available desktop sources for this desktop are currently busy..."  If I click "Try Again", I get "The display protocol for this desktop is currently not available".  Then, if I click "Try Again", It connects and everything works perfectly.  I can reproduce this over and over all day long.  If I log off of the desktop and log back on, all works fine, however, if I restart the view agent, reboot the desktop, or re-compose the desktop, I have to go through the cycle of "Try Again" 3 times before I can get back in.  This happens on all desktops in all pools and only started after our upgrade to 5.1.1.  We are set up to use the PCoIP protocol and have 2 connection servers.  Same results from both connection servers.  Makes no difference if we enable PCoIP secure gateway or not.  I'm really stumped...

 

This is from the connection server log on the first connection attempt, nothing show's up in the agent's log:

Hi,

I just upgraded my Horizon View 6.2 environment to 7. The upgrades seemed to well of my Composer server and my two connection servers. However when I try and login to the Admin page it is just a blank blue screen and the watch keeps going round and round. Anyone seen this yet?

 

Thanks.

issues with sharing local storage into desktop

Hello all,

 

My user base consists of a mix of BYOD Windows and Mac devices.  Horizon View 7.0.3 with the 4.3 device specific clients.

 

We're seeing around ~25% of installed users have problems with accessing local storage within their assigned desktop.    In one instance, I had to resort to uninstalling and reinstalling the client to fix the issue.   I verified that all of the checkboxes under "Sharing" were selected, and the user's local folder was visible in the list - but nothing.


Anyone have similar issues, or a way to achieve reliable sharing results?

 

Thanks!

Agent Unreachable - PowerCLI/Adam Database/SQL Database

$

I have searched for an answer to the question off and on for a couple of years on these forums with no straight answer.  You can find posts with these requests going back to 2012...

 

I want a simple method to monitor "agent unreachable" machines (as displayed in the Horizon web interface) using VMware View PowerCLI, a value in the ADAM database, or a value in the SQL Database.  There is no easy, supported method for this request in over 5 years.  Will VMware ever answer view admin's prayers and add support for this?  How difficult can this really be to implement? So frustrating...

View 5.1 Cipher/SSL

$

I am running view 5.1 with security servers and connection servers. Recently I attempted to lock down the different ciphers and protocols on the internet facing security servers.

 

I followed the article Configuring cipher suites and security protocols on a VMware View Connection Server instance or Security Server in VMwar…

 

I created a locked.properties file and saved to the location C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf

 

In the file I entered the following info

secureProtocols.1=TLSv1.2

secureProtocols.2=TLSv1.1

secureProtocols.3=TLSv1

secureProtocols.4=SSLv2Hello

enabledCipherSuite.1=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

enabledCipherSuite.2=TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

enabledCipherSuite.3=SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

 

I made sure there were no spaces or any grammar errors.

 

Upon restarted all the view security server services clients could no longer connect to the site receiving an ssl error. I also tried to scan the site using a ssl scanner SSL Analyzer and SSL Certificate Checker | COMODO

The site couldn't even connect to scan the certificate anymore after making the change.

 

I was successful in testing on a different view server but, the version was newer. I believe it was version 6.0.

Anyone have any ideas on what I might of missed? I don't really want to have to upgrade the infrastructure just to secure protocols and ciphers.

Horizon View 6.0.1 Connection server certificate replacement

$

0

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?


help with configuring external URL on security servers with Horizon 7 and F5 Load Balancers

$

0

I working on a project that consists of the following:

 

2 x Connection servers for internal

2 x connection servers for external

2 x security servers that are paired to the external connection servers

 

We are running version 7 and everything is working as expected, except the security servers.

 

On the external URL for the security servers, we place the external IP and everything works. However, due to version 7 being strict with certificates we get a red alarm in the admin console.

 

If I change the URL to the FQDN server of itself this resolves the invalid certificate issue but then we get name resolution issues when we try to connect externally from the client.

 

I was hoping someone could advise what the external URL should be and if it is just the IP address how do we resolve the certificate issue?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm working on my VDI desktop, using UEM 9.1 for management of these desktops.

We are running the following:

Horizon client 4.3

Horizon Agent 7.0.2

Windows 10

Mandatory Profiles which is storet on UEM-Profiles

 

When my testusers is logged on for its first time and his profile is generated on the UEM-Profiles share, all of my shortcuts are clickable and Excel starts (my mouse pointer hoover and enlight the icon) and tiles are visible:

Clickable.jpg

When i log out of windows 10, and in again with the same user(that now has a profile build in the UEM-Profiles share, my starmenu is almost disabled and tiles are not visible:

notclickable.jpg

Here is my mouse pointer again hoovering over Excel, but it is not enlightning, and its impossible to start Excel. All icons on my startmenu is now disabled except from Search.

I can start Excel from desktop icon that i provided, but it will be a bit of a mess if we have to deploy all shortcuts to the dekstop.

 

I tried to force these tiles to be visible by creating a policy for STD users with this config: http://phramc.com/wordpress/?p=5 with no luck.

 

Anyone seen this issue?

 

 

EDIT: -if i kill explorer in task manager and start it up again, i can hoover and click on the icons...

What are folks doing about scanning over a WAN these days??  We are trying to setup outreach clinics that need to have the ability to scan thru Horizon View desktops.  We are currently on 7.0.2 and scanning is extremely slow. even with the new scanning abilities of the view agent.  Scanning a one page doc into out EHR program takes about a minute to complete.  Any thoughts or comments are welcome. 

How to share the clipboard between a linked clone machine and an RDS pool application in Horizon 7

We are using both dedicated linked clones and RDS application pools so the end user is presented with their VM and all RDS applications when they log into the client.

 

If the user copies something to their clipboard in their VM, they cannot paste it into the RDS application and vice versa.   Is there any way to allow copy and past between their RDS application and their VM?

Hello

 

I have horizon agent 7.0.2

client 4.3 build 4710077

 

Rtav is enabled via GPO I get audio out to the headset perfectly but no microphone will work i tried switching to internal HP MIC, USB mics, and analog the microphone will not pickup inside the vmware session no matter what i use. It does pickup locally on the laptop with no issues.  I have reinstalled the client checked the registry on both systems USB redirection is not available for the HVD desktop. I had a vmware tech look on the system via webex. The only thing i have not done is reinstall the agent but I dont see that being the culprit since i have audio out.

 

Any ideas or guidance would be much appreciated i feel like i hit a brick wall i kinda figured it would just work

 

Thank you

With an EUC Access Point, is it possible to turn off Web Access (prevent connections)...

e.g. No service at  https://<euc host name>/portal/webclient/index.html#/

...while still permitting connections from clients using standard Horizon View Clients? (Windows, Android etc.)

 

Or are both eggs in one EUC-basket, so to speak?

Scanner redirection doesn't work when you replace the shell on the Windows client

$
0
0

In case that you replace default shell on Windows TC with Horizon client or something else, the scanner redirection no longer works.

 

Tested with Windows 7 thin clients & Horizon view 7.0.2.

In "Scanner-scanmgr-<date>.txt" the following error is logged: [ERROR]: Supervisor failed while scan is working.

 

If you then manually start explorer.exe on the TC so that the shell starts and reconnect to the desktop the scanner redirection starts working. From this point on it will continue to work even with shell replaced.

Horizon HTML Access - Embedded Shortcuts

$

Hi,

 

We have just deployed a Horizon 7 Standard Platform within our development environments, we are currently looking at ways to integrate shortcuts into the HTML Page - i.e we have numerous ThinApp packages that sit outside of a VDI session that we would like to present the shortcut to from the Web Page, has anyone looked at doing anything similar?

 

For the enduser they would logon to the WebClient and have visibility to a VDI session (pool) and alongside that would be a thinapp'd version of Internet Explorer

 

 

Cheers
