Hi,
We experience disturbers issue with user roaming profile,
After I recompose a pool , always there are few users (randomly) that their profile is not upload to the new desktop, they get a clean default desktop,
and not all the GPO defines is working.
Sometimes it solved by log off an logon again, but always I have a user that I need to configure his profile from the beginning, the outlook software opened like a new application.
Is someone has advice or experience this issues too?

Hi All,
Currently I am using 300 licences for VDI and I have another licence key for 500 user, now how can I add new key in View? because I have to support 800 users at a time.
I have to add both licence keys to view [300 and 500 licences key]
How many individual keys we can add in view?
Hi,
I have thought this was by design since I cant find any information about this.
But this is there a workaround so that the View client can still logoff user even if the session is locked?
The only way to logoff for the user is to unlock Windows and logoff from View client menu.
We use Windows 8.1 with VMware View 5.3.1.
Linked-clones non-persistent pool
Windows Server 2012 R2
NB: We have removed the logoff button in Windows because we want only one way(from View client) for users logoff to keep simplicity.
Only some users are getting this error when connecting from external networks. We have an F5 that load balances the two security servers. The same cert that is being used for the F5 URL is loaded on the security servers. We have verified other users are connecting to each security server without getting this error. What could this be? It has to be something on the client side.
Good afternoon,
we are trying to get a windows 10 instant clone working on horizon 7.2. when the clone is created and we try to logon we get the following error:
"The attempted logon is invalid. This is due to a bad username or authentication information. An untrusted certificate authority was detected while processing the domain controller certificate used for authentication. There is additional information in the system event log. Please contact your system administrator."
we think it is a SSO issue and made a new keystore to insure all certs were present. If the newly created clone is not logged on to for about an hour it will let you logon without error.
If we click ok on the error screen we can select "other logon" and then logon with a domain admin account with no issues.
any suggestions?
Thanks,

In the same pool - After a recompose, the search menu does not work on some machines and on others it works.
If the master image is the same for all the machines, why would the results be different?
On one machine, a second recompose fixed the issue, but on others, nothing works.
We are on Horizon 7.0.2 - 4356666
So here is the issue:
At the time of creating a new pool in view agent with my latest snapshot, the changes are not being made once i log in with a domain account. Icons from the desktop disappear and registry changes do not pick up. At the master VM level, all changes have been applied and saved.
The biggest issue is with Skype for business and OneNote, when logging in to the pool as domain user, the default email address in SFB shows someone else, where it should be blank, since its a completely new profile. I found a bunch of registry keys that were referring to this person, in the master VM, however, even after clearing all these, the person still comes up.
With OneNote, when opening for the first time as domain user in the pool, a notebook with the user name comes up, even after it was deleted from the source(share point and one drive)
This only seems to happen after creating the pool, the master VM is completely clean, unless there is something im missing?
latest I've done:
We have virtualized our IT infrastructure (Server and Desktop) with Horizon view 7.0 Linked clone Desktops. Now we would like to give access some of the desktops to remote users through Internet.
What is the best way to implement it?
Should we implement Security Server or VPN connectivity?
If Security server is implemented, should we implement it in DMZ?
Is it good to implement Virtual Appliance than Security Server?
I have a host with 2 x Nvidia GRID K1 cards in it. I've got 2 VM's running successfully on it, using vGPU, profile grid_k140q.
If I create a new VM with profile grid_k120q, it will not power on. I receive the following error:
Power On virtual machine:Disconnected from virtual machine.
See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.
Time: 2016-01-15 11:51:37 AM
Target: Jan15-Active-vGPU
vCenter Server: vcenter.mydomain.com
Error Stack
An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM Jan15-Active-vGPU.
Remote connection failure
Failed to establish transport connection (9): There is no VMware process running for config file /vmfs/volumes/537bdb04-c71878eb-1744-74867ad4ea02/Jan15-Active-vGPU/Jan15-Active-vGPU.vmx.
Disconnected from virtual machine.
If I give it profile grid_k140q it powers on successfully.
Is this expected behaviour?
Disclaimer: I'm brand new to VMware and its ecosystem.
I've managed to install an ESXi host (version 6.5.0). I can connect to the host through a browser (both on desktop and in Android) and login to the UI presented there. I've spun up a VM and can confirm that all of that is working.
What I'd like to do is use the Horizon Client on Android to connect to this VM. Currently I'm just entering the IP address of the ESXi host. I've verified that the host is getting a connection from the Android device but I get an error message on Android:
Error: HTTP error 400
Please verify that Connection Server address and network settings are correct and try again.
I've seen this error in both version 3.1.0 and 4.2.1. As I said, I'm brand new to the VMware ecosystem so I imagine I'm massively oversimplifying what must be involved in getting this to work. Would I ever be able to connect with this setup? Do I need to install another VMware product between ESXi and the Horizon Client?

Hey guys thought I'd update my clients to 4.5.0 but when I tested the silent install it installed great but it forced a reboot even with REBOOT=Reallysuppress switch.

Any ideas?
Hello guys,
We have started to use horizon 7.1 with persona management on w2016 desktop experience. Sometimes (mainly in morning) many users have the issue with login into virtual PC. They can see the status "Please Wait For The User Profile Service" for over 10mins and after this time I can see that the system created new profile (without reading of profile from fileserver where the user profiles are located) - f.e. profile is OST and in c:\users I see OST.domain. After one or two hours, sudenly, everything is OK and the login into system is in 10sec. Does somebody have any experiences with this problem? I read some articles about forefront or TrendMicro, but same behaiviour without these.
Thank you very much!
Me again
So I've successfully done 2FA with Radius and Connection server authentication in the past. I'm doing another one now with a different Radius solution which unlike previous ones requires the AD authentication first with Radius second. This is because upon successfuly AD authentication an SMS is sent to the authenticating user's phone with the OTP which they can then enter on the next prompt.
This basically means that sp-auth needs to be followed by radius-auth., but this doesn't seem possible:
Can these be swapped around?
I am working with VMware View Horizon 7 and Windows 10. During the process of me setting up the computers in vSphere, they are losing their Num/Caps Lock lights on the keyboard. I believe this is a setting in Windows or an update causing the issue. I just have not been able to determine which one. I was hoping that maybe someone else has ran into this and has thoughts or possible solutions for me. I have spent quite a bit of time on it already and getting close to calling MS.
For optimizations I ran the vmware optimization tool but did not choose everything.
I need disconnect from View session without locking Windows. Is it possible?
Hi all,
What's the general view on the longevity of PCoIP as a display protocol?
I'm about to (reluctantly) refresh my trusty Wyse P20's and am looking at tera2 devices, but I hear whispers that, with the introduction of Blast, there may not be not much life left in PCoIP. The vendor I was talking to quoted 2021 as a potential date for end of support. Now, coming from a vendor, i'm suspicious of this but I don't want to go out and buy a load of PCoIP tera2 devices if VMware are going to push Blast and we run into issues with a load of unsupported devices. I will start looking for devices that support both protocols if possible, but I was just trying to get a general opinion about PCoIP vs Blast - and whether other people are going to be ditching PCoIP clients in favor of Blast devices.
Cheers in advance..........
Hi there,
I have a windows 10 system image backup of my old computer AI took before it crashed. It is in VHD format. I wanted to restore this recovery image so that the pc is the way it was before I did a fresh install.(I have many reasons for this.)
I went down the internet rabbit hole and essentially was guided to create a VM in which I was going to restore said image (Roughly 250gb.)
I downloaded vmware workstation and from what I can tell I ran into 2 issues. (1) It needs me to install windows 10 on it. (2) it wont accept a vhd file as an image. Seemed to strictly want an iso.
I went into the vmware site and got a trial for horizon. There was a document on the vmware site that essentially said I can load a vhd file using horizon.
This vhd file is on an external drive.
So... perhaps to simplify.
HOW DO I LOAD A VHD OF A WINDOWS 10 FULL SYSTEM BACKUP THAT IS 250GB IN SIZE INTO A VM?
Thank you in advance and I really apologize if this isnt the right place for this question.
Hello,
Does anyone else, while using Instant Clone desktop pools, notice that all the "cp-parent-#######" throw Virtual Machine Memory Usage warnings? It seems like in this environment every single parent will continuously sit at 85% - 95% memory usage. Which then triggers the alarm because they will remain in this state 24/7 based on what I have seen.

Hello,
I got two server running on View 4.5.
I need to use the view cmdlet but each time i'm trying to launch the VMware View PowerCLI, i got the same error on both server.
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'VMware.View.Broker' is not installed on this machine.

I've try to manually install it.
In the view 45 integration guide : The script configuration file for the View PowerCLI cmdlets is named InitViewCmdlets.ps1.
I can't find this script.
Done multiple reinstallation.
If anyone have an idea
Has anyone ran across an issue with View 5 desktops where the user gets a screen stuck at "The view connection server is preparing the desktop." when their VM is resuming from a suspended power state? We have also noticed the occasional "Cannot complete operation because VMware Tools is not running in this virtual machine." error in the vSphere console. All indications are that VMtools is fine and we are running the latest version of tools. We are also running ESXi 5.0.
Also this issue is random and difficult to re-create.
Thanks for the help!
