.V2 to .v5 (VDI View profile migration)

December 5, 2016, 4:25 pm

Hello,

 

 

Our organization currently has approx 700 VDI desktop running Windows 7 Ent x64 (.v2)

Vmware Horizon view 6.x

 

We looking to move to Windows 10 ENT LTSB 2015 (.v5)

Vmware Horizon view 7.x

 

The Horizon VDI view environment is setup as floating desktop. Users dont get the same desktop each time they login, they get different desktop and their profile settings are saved to a shared network path (\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V2)

 

We are attempting to migrate VDI persona profile from Windows 7 (.v2) to Windows 10 (.v5).

 

File structure:

\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V2

\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V5

 

We have used the proper tool to migrate the persona management profile but once user logs in into the new environment (.v5) the user settings are not carried over, screen flickers, etc...

 

We followed this documentation front to back, left to right, up to down, inside to outside, to no avail.

https://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-62-view/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/view-62-profile-migration.pdf

 

Opened support case with VMware no luck so far.

 

 

Been reading around the web to just rename the user profile from .v2 to .v5 then have the user login to Windows 10 but it does not work in our case. It bricks the Windows 10 Start menu search, and other things don't work. 

 

Have any of you migrated from v2 to v5 ?

View 6.2/Tera1 cipher negotiation workaround?

I've posted this on the Teradici forum as well, but wanted to reach out here just in case someone has seen it before.

 

We just did an upgrade to View 6.2.1. I tested out a connection on my T2 devices, and found that I had to upgrade to firmware 4.8 to bypass a "Session negotiation failed. The Zero Client may not be compatible with the host session negotiation cipher settings" message. Of course, I can't do that on T1 devices. I tried doing the multiple different ways of enabling the ciphers in the View Security section at

https://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-62-view/index.jsp#com.vmware.horizon-view.security.doc/GUID-70506F8C-90BD-445D-84E4-ED3C0583E4F7.html

without any luck, but I might also be doing it wrong - I'm a back-end VM noob Although I know anything past 6.0.1 isn't supported on T1, but I'm trying to see if anyone out there has encountered the same problem and found a workaround.

 

Other notes: in the logs, it is a handshake error. I can upload an actual log in a few hours. ESX5.5, LG Zero Clients, using linked-clone, not RDS desktops

View 6.2.1 Enhanced message security mode

Bit of a legacy hang up from an upgrade to View 6.2.1 sometime ago but I'm attempting to change the View message security mode from enabled to enhanced, which failed via the View admin console, so checked using the vdmutil which reports: -

 

All connection servers are ready for ENHANCED mode

One or more security servers are not ready for ENHANCED mode

All RDS servers are ready for ENHANCED mode

All machines are ready for ENHANCED mode

Cannot enter ENHANCED mode. Some components are not ready.

 

Any ideas as to what I should be looking at on the security and or paired connection server to address this?

RDS Farm: Agent Unreachable after attempting to reconnect to session with BLAST

November 2, 2017, 11:12 am

Hey all,

I recently built a PoC environment with Horizon 7.2 used for only  RDS hosted apps.  Pool is set to use only BLAST protocol and not allow users to choose others.  It worked fine for a few days after implementation, and then the customer reported that their RDS hosts were going into agent unreachable status.  Issue was reproducible by connecting to an application, closing the horizon client, and attempting to reconnect from another PC.  The user would get a message saying the remote host is not ready to accept connections, and then a few minutes later the RDS host would go into agent unreachable status in View administrator.  I checked the View Agent service status and it was still running on the RDS host, and there were no references to it shutting down in the log or debug log.

 

 

Today, I found some odd messages in the blast-worker-sessionid2.log file at the time of the issue.  This repeated every 10 seconds until the time of me capturing the log files:

 

 

2017-10-25 15:34:47.625-0400 [WARN ] 0x1178 bora::Warning: socket 113 state: CLOSE_WAIT local: 0.0.0.0:49152 remote: 10.1.10.56:61769

2017-10-25 15:34:57.323-0400 [WARN ] 0x1178 bora::Warning: socket 113 state: CLOSE_WAIT local: 0.0.0.0:49152 remote: 10.1.10.56:61769

2017-10-25 15:35:07.021-0400 [WARN ] 0x1178 bora::Warning: socket 113 state: CLOSE_WAIT local: 0.0.0.0:49152 remote: 10.1.10.56:61769

 

 

I then changed the pool to use only PCoIP and so far, have not been able to reproduce the issue.  Has anyone seen anything like this with BLAST?

 

 

Thanks!

Howto create custom default profile (CopyProfile) for use with Quickprep

November 6, 2017, 2:35 am

I am looking into creating a custom default profile for our Floating desktop pool VDI desktops. Until now i have found a number of guides on how to use the CopyProfle option to copy a user profile to the default user during the sysprep phase. For example, the MS instructions: Customize the Default User Profile by Using CopyProfile | Microsoft Docs

Atm we use the VMware Quickprep option when composing the desktop pool, and don't want to change that. If iven possible, i have no idea how to incorporate the CopyProfile method when using Quickprep, or if there is another way to get this to work.

I also tried defprof but is doesn't give us the exact result we want, and i also rather go for a supported and know method.

Is there someone who is able to guide me into the right direction?

Is file cop\paste supported in thick client using blast?

November 7, 2017, 3:35 am

Hi

 

New deployment of Horizon view 7.3.1, this time exclusively using BLAST as the only protocol.

 

We were using PCOIP and file copy\paste clipboard redirection used to work fine in the thick client. Copy from desktop VM, paste to client machine's desktop etc.

 

Enabled the group policy settings for blast and now text and file transfers work fine in the html client via the transfer icon in the sidebar on the browser.

 

Text based clipboard redirection works in thick client.

 

Should file copy\paste work in the thick client the same way it used to with PCOIP, now it is using the blast protocol instead? Should the blast group policy settings enable this functionality in the thick client or is it just configuring blast in the html client?

 

I know we can go the full blown client drive redirection route but is this the only way?

 

Thanks

This showed me 2 things:

1) Folder redirection is taking a very long time thus i need to find out why. This delay is a hit and mis. Sometimes login is 17 sec, the other time it is about 120 sec!

2) I see a lot of messages about "Failed to find Session for User PolicyEvent id..."

 

Does anyone know what the Failed to find.. messages are about and i there is something i need to check/fix?

Persona service intermittently starting up disabled

We've been using View 5.3 for several years and it has been working quite well for us.  We have a linked-clone with persona configuration. The past several days we've had instances where quite a few of the desktops are starting up in the morning with the persona service disabled.  Generally we just reset their desktop and have them log back on.  These past few days we've had to reset desktops multiple times to get the persona service to start up normally and personas to get sync'd. We don't believe there have been any changes in our View environment.  Has anyone else run into this and know what might be causing it?

Black Screen with all protocols when connecting

We have  a wierd setup at a new remote office we acquired recently.  Some computers are on our domain and some are not (for odd reasons).   We have a Metro E connection to our office and they have a Sonic Wall that they use for Internet.  The issue has a lot to do with DNS and the way things are setup but curious how to get by this in the short term (might be 6 months).  If I try to connect up using out external address www.ourcompny.com then i connect fine thru Horizon View since it is going out the Internet connection in that office.  If i choose to user the Internal IP address or our connection server then all I get is a black screen.  After about 30 seconds then it disconnects.  I can ping the Internal IP by number but not by name.  I tried adding an entry in the Windows Host file with no luck.  WE are running View 7.0.2.  Any comments of suggestions are welcome.  Thanks

Hi, everyone,

 

I'm trying provision desktops with linked clones using QuickPrep in VMware View 3.0.1, and I'm receiving the error above.  I have tried using the full DN and the RDN with either CN or OU as the designator, and I am having no luck.  The operation works fine on the Computers OU but not on an OU elsewhere in the tree.  The permissions appear to be the same, but the OU I would prefer to use has spaces in it.  Detailed errors are:

View Persona - Users are randomely receiving a temporary profile

October 12, 2016, 1:31 am
$

0

Hello,

 

First off, let me say that we have searched high and low for a solution to this problem.

 

We manage a small VMWare infrastructure with 25 users on a floating pool using View Persona management and have been doing so for the past 2 years. Lately though, we are having an issues that used to happen only very rarely before, where a user logs in, gets assigned a clone and gets an empty temporary profile. The user must then log off and log back on to get his actual profile.

 

The typical event id we see on the clones when this happens is #1509 which specifies the following:

 

Windows cannot copy file \\path_to_profile\ntuser.pol to location C:\users\xxx\ntuser.pol. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. Detail - Access denied.


It is very nerving mostly because the cause cannot be identified easily. It happens to all users but completely randomly. The share on which the profiles are stored has the correct permissions and each user profile folder is created with SYSTEM, the user and Administrators. If this where a permission issue on either the share or the profiles, I believe the error should be easy to reproduce. The only thing that is constant, is the fact that it concernes the ntuser.pol file.

 

We thought the anti-virus, Kaspersky, was causing the issue as it wouldn't have been the first time but we have excluded all view folders from being scanned, we have also added the avp.exe process to the excluded processes (see GPO below)

 

Has anyone encountered this? Is it a bug? Is there a fix? Is there something I'm missing?

 

Our infrastructure is based on the following:

View connection server 7.0.1.3988955

View Horizon Agent 7.0.1.3989057

 

The VDIs are based on Windows 7 x64. We do not do any refreshes, only recompose during the week-ends to apply new updates.

 

GPO:

 

Thanks in advance if someone has an idea...

 

Cheers,

 

Marc

Getting this error on two users out of 20 who access an instant clone pool.  Does the MS hotfix need to be applied to the thick client for this error to go away?? Odd part about this is that it only happens to that pool and those users.  I was running on version 7.0.2 of the agent so i thought i might try 7.0.3.  Any comments or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks

VMWare Horizon Client: do inbound ports need to be opened?

November 16, 2017, 4:44 am

I'm trying to diagnose and fix a total failure of Client Drive Redirection to work on the client, version 4.6.0, 64-bit. I set up the sharing on the connection properties, but it's not there in the "Computer" display on the remote Windows 7 image.

 

I've read some articles about ports needing to be opened to new inbound traffic (9427, 32111 for example) but I'm not clear whether that's a requirement on the machine which runs the client.

 

My (Linux) client sits on a 10.n.n.n network behind a NAT router (with a firewall which I control), onto a 192.168.n.n network which has another NAT firewall router connection to the public internet.  Both firewalls are set up fairly conventionally, to allow established traffic in but basically nothing else.  I can't see a way of doing port forwarding on both of those routers so that an unsolicited inbound connection would work on such ports (even if I was happy to do so from a security point of view, which I'm doubtful about).

 

Have I got this wrong?  Does the VMWare server open new (that is, not already established) connections on inbound ports?  If so, how do others configure their firewalls to allow it?

vmware view: long delay between end of boot and desktop access

November 17, 2017, 7:16 am

Hi all

we have a Virtual Center server with 2 Connection Servers + Secure Servers supporting about 35 and 55 guests each. All guests are Win7.

The machines usually boot in less than 30 seconds.

The problem is, it takes at least 5 minutes (and up to 15) for the user to be able to see the desktop.

 

So it appears that either:

a. the Connection server fails to communicate to the View client that the machine is ready for login

b. the view client hangs before sending the login instructions

c. the Connection server hangs while applying the login instructions

d. there's a different kind of problem entirely

 

Do you have any suggestion about how I could troubleshoot this?

Thanks
