Size of VCSA appliance for View

February 23, 2018, 10:23 am

Hi. We are starting a View 7 deployment as a pilot to hopefully go production. We only have 1,000 View licenses now. But I imagine that would expand. When I deploy the VCSA v6.5 appliance, do I still choose the size of the appliance based the number of possible desktop vms we may have at one time? We have the Enterprise license so we do play on using Instant Clones.

 

Our computer vCenter infrastructure uses all Medium deployments. I am just thinking if I ever go over 4,000 View licenses if I would need the Large vCenter deployment. Thanks,,,

Rebooting UAGs

We have 2 UAGs in our DMZ, that are connected to 2 connection brokers via an F5 LTM. Our understanding was a benefit of the UAGs vs. security servers, was that if users are connected using UAG, they will not get kicked if we have to restart one of the UAGs. Essentially if the connection is brokered, the UAG is out of the mix. But that's not what we're seeing. When we reboot a UAG, the person gets bounced. Is our expectation of this behavior incorrect?

Hello,

 

I'm using Horizon View 7.X and Windows Server 2016 RDS Host to publish session for my users.

I would know how to restrict Horizon Client to use only 1 monitor if users get 2+ monitors instead of using all monitors by default.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Benjamin.

Confining View to one monitor not two

Hi everyone, I am running Horizon View for Mac.  I have an iMac with an attached external monitor.  I like to run View full screen, but when I do it by default takes over the second screen as well.  I have tried to use Windows Control panel in the VM to remove the 2nd display entirely, but I cannot seem to do that.  Can anyone help me figure out how to limit View to just one display while still running it in full screen mode on that display?  Thanks.

DPI Synchronization vs. Display Scaling

February 27, 2018, 5:34 pm

Hello,

 

Seeing an interesting issue and I want to know if anyone is experiencing the same thing. In our environment we have a GPO that disables DPI Synchronization. When connecting from a high resolution device such as a Surface Book, everything looks really tiny. Even with Allow Display Scaling checked. If we toggle Display Scaling off and back on it scales as expected. If you log off and back on you again, need to toggle display scaling off and on. We are using the 4.7 Horizon Client and the 7.3.1 Horizon Agent. We notice this on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 VM's.

 

If we use DPI Synchronization alone it effects the performance of the VM. Mouse moves slower and graphics are not a crisp.

 

Thanks

Horizon Client for Windows v4.7 233MB download

Hi All and thanks in advance for your attention and time. 

 

My question is why is the Horizon Client 233MB's in size.  When extracted the actual 32 bit app is 1.4MB's.  What is the additional bloat that is included in this executable?  Am I in the clear just deploying the 1.4MB client to 32 bit and 64 bit systems?  Thanks again.

Deploying UAG 3.x using powershell with PKCS#12 certificate fails

I was delighted to see that UAG 3.0 now has support for certificates in PKCS#12 format. Unfortunately trying to deploy a UAG with my PFX file fails with "Error: The specified PFX certificate file is invalid". I can convert the PFX to PEM and successfully deploy the UAG. If I try to then replace the cert using the swagger UI it fails with "Alias provided does not exist in the keystore. Provide one from the list".

 

The PFX contains the private key, device, intermediate and root certificate. I'm specifying an alias which is the friendly name of the device certificate.

Skye status intermittently stuck on "Away" with Blast Extreme through UAG

We are seeing an intermittent issue with remote users using Blast Extreme through a UAG where Skype thinks the user is still Away. You can not manually set it to Available and the Skye client must be quit and relaunched to set the status properly.

 

When a user connects internally with a Dell Wyse P25/5030 zero client using PCoIP it works as expected. Skype properly detects the user is connected and sets the status to Available.

 

We are running Horizon 7.1, Horizon Agent 7.1 on Windows 7, UAG 3.0, Horizon Client 4.5.1, Lync 2013 Standard Edition and Skype for Business 2016.

Current Infrastructure:

 

ESXi/vCenter: 6.0u2

Connection Server: 7.4

Agent: 7.1

Gold Image: Win7 sp1

 

When I upgraded Horizon 7.0.3 to to 7.4 the connection server will throw the timeout error below:

 

2018-03-01T13:09:22.765-08:00 ERROR (0E58-1788) <WFE-06> [WaitForInternalTemplateAction] Internal Template: vm-25841 customization appears to not have succeeded. State = error

I have installed every agent release on the gold image from 7.0.3 to 7.4 and anything > 7.1 will throw the publishing error.  Was there anything that changed from the 7.1 to 7.2 release that I am missing that could be causing this?   Any help would be appreciated.

ThinPrint (Horizon 7) - Printing via PDF (Garbled Text)

March 2, 2018, 2:51 am

Hi folks,

 

We recently deployed Windows 10 desktops and App Volumes/ UEM.

 

Give you an idea - linked clone/floating:

- Windows 10 Pro x64

- VMWare Tools 10.1.15.6677369

- Horizon Agent 7.4.0

 

The problem: A user prints off a PDF file using Thin Print and it sometimes (not always) prints it out as garbled text, other times, it will not print out the whole document, only parts.

 

I'm not sure why this is happening. I have generated Thin Print logs but am not sure what I'm looking for - perhaps someone here might know?

 

I've tried different versions of the agent/tools to no avail. Different PDF applications. Various printer settings.

 

Anyone come across this and could possibly advise on some things to try?

 

Many thanks,

Travis

Youtube Performance Poll

Hey guys,

 

Simple question here, if I have a basic Horizon setup, say v7.2, should I be expected to be able to view Youtube videos at 480p?

 

No GPUs or anything, nothing fancy, just 1 or 2 vCPU and 2 GB RAM. I'm testing this and where I wouldn't necessarily expect it to play 720p+ videos very well I would have thought 480p is a reasonable expectation.

 

I've tested with PCoIP and Blast, Blast is slightly better and it's kinder watchable but I'd give it a 7/10 as they break up a fair bit. Maybe just a general poll in response as to what should be expected for this sort of setup would be useful.

 

Cheers,

Multimonitor setup - USB Display Adapter

March 4, 2018, 10:02 am

Hi,

 

My Windows 10 laptop currently has one HDMI-out port, which I use to connect one external monitor.  I also have a Dell USB 3.0 display adapter (470ABHH) that will allow me to connect a 2nd display via the laptop's USB 3.0 port.  The adapter works when using Windows.

 

The goal is to use dual monitor remoting via the Horizon Client on these external monitors.  When I log into the remote machine via Horizon client (but with USB display adapter disconnected, and thus 2nd external monitor disconnected), I can see dual remote display on my external HDMI-connected monitor and on my laptop screen.  So it works in this case.  However, when I log into the remote machine via Horizon client (but with USB display adapter connected, thus 2nd external monitor connected), the dual display stops working, and the desktop from the remote machine only displays on my laptop screen.  I want to see the remote desktops on my two external monitors, but it doesn't give me the option.  Am I doing something wrong, or does Horizon client not work with the USB display adapter? 

 

Will it work if I can turn off USB redirection for the adapter? 

 

I know this question was touched upon several years ago in thread: USB Display Adapters

 

But that was several years ago, and I wanted to know if this capability was added. 

 

Thank you..

Embedded VCSAs in Horizon View Pod / Block designs?

Since it seems you overcome SPOFs in View by deploying multiple venters behind a series of load balanced connection servers, I’m wondering if deploying multiple PSCs behind an F5 and battling with certificates to provide SSO services in a pod is really worth the complexity it brings?

 

I guess you lose linked mode / single pane of glass stuff, and you’ll have to configure identity sources / ad integration in multiple places…..but is there anything that would cause headaches down the line when growing into a multi-pod environment?  Ie - 3 datacenters, 1 pod in each datacenter, 2 or 3 resource blocks per pod?

 

Just seems like it *might* be a simpler deployment to use a single embedded VCSA per resource block…..?

 

Any thoughts?  What are you guys doing out in the field?  Especially those who have deployed or work with large, multi datacenter/pod deployments.

 

Thanks.

Pool wont start provisioning

Weird issue here. I've got a pool of floating linked clones that has been relatively stable. I wanted to create a test pool, so that I can test out changes to the golden image before pushing to the production pool. So I cloned the production pool. Everything is set identically. The pool is enabled but will not do anything. Nothing at all. I'm not getting any messages or errors in view or vcenter. Our company is 100% vdi and I've been doing this for several years, so not a newbie. All of the normal stuff has been checked. I've checked the logs on composer and I don't see anything that stands out or indicates that there is an issue. Meanwhile, other pools are working fine. Anyone have any idea of what might be causing this? We're on relatively current versions of everything.

Linux View Client - problems after upgrading version 4.2

March 7, 2018, 11:02 pm

Hello all

 

I hope someone has run into this also and found a solution!

We use machines with CentOS 6.9 32bit and View client 4.2.

These machines are installed via a custom made kickstart file that among other things installs the view client with the needed modules like usb redirection and others.

The machine boots to the graphical env and then opens the view client without the user needed to login, like a Kiosk mode.

 

Since the version 4.5 is out i tried to just replace the source installer and kept all the other things intact and all works as expected but the USB redirection.

The OS sees the USB devices plugged in and they are available but within View no USB is available, like nothing is connected. The usb arbitrator is up and running.

 

Anyone has had the same issue?

 

Thanks

Fred

Horizon View 7.3.2 - Linux VDI - Screen Resolution

I just deployed five VDI using SLED 12. My issue here is that when i connect using the Horizon View Client the screen resolution is 800x600 yet the screen resolution of the Operating System is 1920x1200 and if i connect to the VM using VMRC from vSphere Client the display works okay.

 

I am using 128 MB vRAM on the Virtual Machine and the Desktop Pool resolution is set on 2560x1600 just for test.

 

Any idea if this is a known issue?

Shift, Control, Mouse Wheel Not working Win10 v 4.5.0

Since my Windows 10 upgrade several months back, my VMware Horizon client doesn't recognize my shift key, control key nor mouse wheel.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have spent hours scouring the internet for anyone experiencing a similar issue.  To date, I've found nothing... so I'm hoping one of you can help me find the secret setting I'm missing...

 

I'm running 4.5.0 build-5615124 on Windows 10 Home 64bit on a Dell XPS with an i7-2.2Ghz running 8Gb RAM.

I've tried switching between multiple keyboards and mice; but currently am using a Microsoft wireless set.

 

I'll take any tips you've got... Horizon is all-but useless to me without the Control and Shift keys.

 

Regards,
