Hello!
As in the title, can I install Vmware on Ipad?
Would I like to install Windows 7 or 10 on an Ipad that you can?
I've seen on youtube there are methods.
If there are any other news I'm looking for answers.
If you may want to install a graphics software on a ipad.
Now is coming out of the Ipad X and their processors are powerful and fast.
Thanks for answering.
Hi
I have UAG 3.0 deployed with Horizon 7.1. External access works fine but I want to lock it down so that only computers that are domain members can connect. I followed the guide for deploying with Powershell and added these lines to the ini file.
authMethods=certificate-auth && sp-auth
[CertificateAuth]
pemCerts=C:\certs\domain-cachain.pem
Both domain and non domain members get the same error message;
/opt/vmware/gateway/logs/esmanager.log shows this error when connecting
unable to retrieve client certificate from session: <sessionId>
The troubleshooting guide for UAG 3.1 says to check the client side certificate if X.509 is configured.
How should this certificate be configured?
Thanks
Hi,
We are using vmware view horizon 6.0.1 & getting error " The connection to the remote computer ended" while trying to connect desktop pool. I was going through one vmware community discussion with same error & I have done all the settings provided on that solution but still I am facing that issue. Below error is attached FYR. Kindly help on this.
VMs provisioned with Instant clone - OS Windows 10 LTSB - are NOT receiving the Computer Based Group Policy ... I reviewed and did exactly what the VMware Knowledge base suggested as a work around but no luck on my end.

Any suggestions? if any one is using Windows 10 with instant clones, if you can share some tips and advice please?
We are standing up a new Horizon 7.1 environment and have some questions on the traffic flow when load balancing a pair of UAG.
For external access we have a dedicated pair of connection servers. These are front-ended by a VIP on our F5 using the iApp. We do not have any tunneling configured on the F5 or the Connection Servers. We then have a pair of UAG that are front-ended by a VIP on our F5 again using the iApp. We have a public IP that is NAT to a private IP on the F5 for the VIP. We then have two connection servers with private IP. We will be doing SSL passthrough to minimize the CPU load on the F5. If I understand correctly the display protocol traffic will still have to flow persistently through the F5 and UAG to the Horizon Agent.
If the traffic does need to flow persistently through the F5 could we instead configure a VIP on our F5 that redirects to the UAG at a public IP? (e.g. vdi.mycorp.com on the F5 which load balances UAG1.mycorp.com and UAG2.mycorp.com). That way all of our client would connect to a single URL that would then redirect them to the UAG which are also publicly accessible but the user would not hit them directly. Kind of like what is described in this discussion?Resolving the balancer DNS name on Access point if it is the same for internal and external connections
I noticed Horizon 7.3.2 downloads went live last night. I am unable to find any release notes or documentation for this release. VMware, are they going to be uploaded soon?
Hey,
i have the problem that I want VM's (That are connected to our Prod-Lan) that are running under a vCenter (that is not Connected to our Prod-Lan) be connectable via a ConnectionServer (also in our Prod-Lan).
So i thought that I install the View Agent and set the ConnectionServer. But the Screen isn't showing up.
Is there a possibility to configurate the ViewAgend after the installation to connect to the ConnectionServer?
Thanks for the Answers

Few weeks ago my certificate expired on Connection server. I was able to request one from digicert and imported into my connection server. All setting were set properly with friendly name and such. Once I did that got green light on my connection server from View admin console. we are running just one security and connection server. At the time of upgrade of the certificate for connection server I did not notice any issue with security server so didn't go through the process of importing certificate for that as well. Started getting calls from my offshore resources they were not able to connect externally. . Since we used the same cert on both connection server and security server I went through the steps of exporting the cert out of connection server and imported back on security server. Even though I did that external clients were getting the same error when connecting to view client externally. To get this resolved support was able to assist by setting the default cert on the security server configure and making it default. Client were working fine by bypassing the certificate. Now I'm running into this issue where I cannot connect to my view admin console. keeps throwing below error. Also on the connection server View Blast Secure Gateway services are stuck on pause not matter what I do cannot get this service to start normally and view admin console is still down. At the same time I am able to connect to view externally by bypassing the certificate. Figure post this on the community before I call support where they are not able to help as current version of View that I am running is out of support and they keep telling me to upgrade which I have slated for 1st quarter 2018. Can't seem to understand why would the same cert that I have on connection server works perfectly fine and same cert that import into security server keeps giving me problems. Support seems to think it's a mismatch on the cipher but I cannot understand what I need to configure on the cert or the security server to see the correct match for the cipher. Any help would be appreciate it if anyone has run into this issue.
Can’t connect securely to this page
This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. If this keeps happening, try contacting the website’s owner.
Try this:
> View : 5.3.2
> Certificates on View servers expired couple of days ago hence certificates were replaced
> One certificate(digicert) used for both connection and security servers
> Verified server's friendly name , Subject alternate name and thumbprint
> No issue connecting internally
> Only external users are unable to connect
> External users connect via horizon client (4.3)
> Noticed cipher mismatch in certificates hence external users were unable to connect
> Pointed security server to default certificate and bypassing cert verification when connecting from external network , we were able to connect

Failed to perform space reclamation on machine desktop in Pool horizon-view-win8
any idea what this error is?
Hi,
I am seeing one error message "Failed to perform space reclamation on" in my View
I am using View 7.1 with windows-10 as OS
any reason why I am seeing this error messages
Thank you,
Pere.
Hi
Have doubt on the VMware linked disk and how it uses the Replica disks.
1. Does Replica Disk is created for every Desktop deployed in the pOOL ? ( we generally know that replica disk are created one per DS store )
2. Though the replica disk is not visible when we browse in the Datastore using the GUI.
3. But when we browse the datastore using RVC we are seeing each linked clone desktop is associated with the Replica disk, ( and same is being reported on the storage consumption size)
Does anyone has observed this ?
Wondering if anyone can help, we are looking to introduce Brother PT-700 label printers into our environment, we currently use HP T310 Zero Clients and Windows 7 x64 desktops, we want to connect the printers locally via USB. I can install the printer onto my own VDI desktop using the drivers provided by Brother and I can print fine. The issue we have is, we run a linked clone environment where the VDI desktops refresh every 7 days and the users do not have administrator permissions to install any drivers/software themselves plus we would prefere to do it ourselves. I planned to install the printer and driver onto the main golden image so all the users have to do is connect it up, the printer/drivers will already be installed plus the virtual printer port for USB will have already been created. The issue we have is that it's not working, users can connect the printer, it recognises the printer because it also maps a drive containing Brother Ptouch software but the printer remains offline, we can re-create the printer locally using the virtual printer port and still it remains offline. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, the only thing I can thing of is that when the virtual printer port is created on the golden image it's mapped to that specific instance (if that makes sense?) of the printer? That port does not even list as available ports until I actually install the printer drivers onto the golden image or my test VDI desktop. I don't think this is an issue with the zero client or USB mapping etc due to the fact I can install and use the printer with no problems on my own VDI desktop.
I've got a feeling this will only work if the users themselves install the printer/drivers and connect it up during the installation process (midway through installation of the printer/drivers it asks for the printer to be connected via USB before proceeding, on the golden image install I do that myself), at which point it will create the virtual printer port for USB. Issue with that is, they would need permissions to do that and every 7 days that would need to re-install it.
Any help appreciated.
I am experiencing issues running the viewdbchk command. When connecting to the composer server, I receive the following error...
Checking connectivity...
Connecting to View Composer "https://composer1:18443". This may take some time...
** ERROR: EXCEPTION: Unable to establish a connection with View Composer: "https://composer1:18443". ; nested exception is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.s
ecurity.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target **
** ERROR: Can not continue due to connectivity errors **
Is there a way to bypass the certificate check?
Encountered an issue when there is an app hosted in 3 RDS hosts configured as 1 farm.
The error was that it is looking for a specific path that is not available on 1 of the 3 hosts.
Checked the 3 servers and found that the app is located on the same path for 3 servers.
But the version of the app on the affected server is lower than on the 2 other servers.
We updated the app version and was able to access the app via HTML.
My question is, what is the best practice or procedure when upgrading the app version per host with no or minimum disruption to the users.
This is critical since, when the error was encountered; even for the path is the same... app will not work since there is version mismatch for the 3 hosts.
I have a 7.2 Horizon environment. Every now and then, using the Horizon client, I cannot launch any VM pools. They work fine using browser base on the same machine. The VDM logs shows "RemoteMKS connection failed with error 'The connection to the remote computer ended.',is not prelaunch mode". I'm using VMware BLAST. However, on the exact same machine, if I login with a different AD account, I can launch the VM pool. Also, I've deleted my local profile from the machine I'm trying to launch pools from. When I log back in, the AD account is created new and then it works which leads me to believe, somewhere in the profile, there is corruption on the Horizon client. I have published apps and they all launch, just not the VM pools.
Has anyone else seen this issue? It's not expedient to blow out the profile every time this happens as profile contain many user settings that are a pain to back up and restore. Currently am experiencing this on my main VM I use to manage the VDI environment. If anyone has info on how to resolve, that would be fantastic!
Thanks.
So I have two domains. A production domain and a network isolated test/dev domain with VLAN isolation. I want people on their production workstations, which they are logged into with their production domain creds, to launch a view client and authenticate with a VDI desktop on the test/dev domain. I was thinking I could accomplish this by making the View Connection server have a virtual NIC on production and on test/dev. Users could hit it from prod through the prod nic, and it could broker the connection to the desktops within the dev domain. There are no trusts between these domains, but there shouldn't have to be since the connection server is joined to dev and creating desktops in dev.
The vCenter would be in production. I would just set up the vCenter connection on the view connection server with the production DNS address of vCenter and a service account on the prod domain. While the connection server is not on that prod domain, the prod domain is network accessible so it should be able to authenticate with vCenter.
Does this sound like it would work? The entire point is for as little connection between prod and dev as possible. Only the view connection server would have a connection to both in order to present a dev desktop to a prod workstation.
Hello
I am trying to find out if we can unassign users after a certain number of days of inactivity/non usage? We have 2 groups of users, one group who will use their VM's daily. and one group who will only user there desktop 1 day out of the week or month, so we have a large number of VM's that are not being utilized. Using a floating pool is out of the question due to the weird nature of our employees and turn over.
we are using Vmware Horzon view 7.1

Hello,
Not sure if this would be the right place to ask, but I am currently running Horizon 7.3.2 environment with Windows 10 LTSB 2016 (Build 1607) instant clone desktops. The desktop image has UEM 9.2.1 and App Volumes 2.13.1 installed, and we utilize both appstacks and writable volumes to support our user's use case.
I was trying out the HTML5 redirection feature (new to 7.3.1) using Windows Horizon client 4.6.1, ensuring that the HTML5 feature is enabled on vdm_agent policies, URL configured, and Google Chrome extension for HTML5 MMR installed. When I use the published app for Chrome (installed directly on RDS server), the HTML5 MMR feature works fine. When I tried it on the desktop where Chrome is installed on the writable volume, however, the extension doesn't seems to work. The extension icon will "color" up for a moment when Chrome is launched, but will soon turn into grey. Consequently, the redirection doesn't work and will play the video on the virtual desktop itself. Not sure if anyone else notice this?
I haven't tried this with Chrome installed directly on the image, but I assume it won't work either since extension files are installed inside the user's Chrome profile directory, within the Local AppData folder in the user profile.
The App Volumes agent is configured with the necessary registry item to allow Google Chrome extensions to function (i.e. assigning a drive letter to writable volume)
Hello all,
I am trying to create an automated pool of Full VMs for use for some users. I am able to successfully create the pool, but the machines aren't changing names to the specified VM name upon creation and are keeping the name from the template. They also do not join the domain automatically. From what research I have done I believe this is supposed to occur automatically. What am I doing wrong?
I am running View and Composer 7.1 on vSphere 6.0.0
Thanks for any help,
Franklin
Need some help on the F5 configuration with our VMware View environment in order get the correct Client IP address. We need to do some reporting on the VMware View desktop pool to be HIPAA compliance. In this report, we need to show the client IP address of where the user is coming from. Every time we run the report the IP is always comes back as the F5 floating IP which is the same all the time for any user.
The F5 documentation said to turn on X-Forwarded-For header and then refer to VMware documentation to configuring logging on the View servers. I did open a call with VMware, but they weren’t able to help me with this configuration.
VMware Horizon View 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0: (BIG-IP v11, v12: LTM, APM, AFM)
https://f5.com/solutions/deployment-guides/vmware-horizon-view-52-53-60-62-70-release-candidate-iapp-big-ip-v11-v12-ltm-apm-afm?tag=VMware
Should the BIG-IP system insert the X-Forwarded-For header? Advanced Select whether you want the BIG-IP system to insert the X-Forwarded-For header in the HTTP header for logging purposes. • Yes, insert the X-Forwarded-For header Select this option if you want the system to include the X-Forwarded-For header. You may have to perform additional configuration on your View servers to log the value of this header. For more information on configuring logging on the View servers, refer to the VMware documentation.
Does anyone know how to configure the VMware View servers to accept the X-Forwarded-For so we can get the correct client IP address when running reports for HIPAA compliance?
Thanks,
Robert
