Keyboard Indicators out of sync with RDSH App Sessions

June 16, 2020, 8:06 am

Hello All,

We have recently ran into an issue where the Keyboard Indicators (num lock, caps lock, etc) are out of sync with RDSH App Sessions. In our environment we are running Windows 10 endpoints (1809 and 1909), and Horizon 7.10 on the agent side. We recently upgraded our Horizon Clients from 4.9 to 5.4.2, and this appears to be where the problem lies. Without making any changes on the Agent side (RDSH Farm), I uninstalled the 5.4.2 client and installed the 4.9 client again and then after launching an RDSH App the Keyboard Indicators were back in sync. From here I have by installing each version of the Horizon Client from 4.9 through 5.4.3, and what i found was that the Keyboard Indicators were in sync for the versions 4.9, 4.10, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3, but was out of sync on any 5.4.x version (5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, and 5.4.3).

 

Has anyone else seen this issue after upgrading to any 5.4.x version of the Horizon Client? If so, were you able to find a workaround?

 

I do have a Support Case open for this, but figured I'd see if others were at least seeing the same. I've tried the various registry entries deployed via UEM\DEM within a test RDSH App Farm session with no luck:

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard]

"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2147483650"

 

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]

"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2147483650"

Moving from Persona Management to FSLogix Profile Containers

Does anyone have any experience attempting this? Currently using personas with Windows 7 VMs, and working on moving everything to Windows 10. Have issues we can't get around with personas and win10, so we've been testing FSLogix profiles and it fixes all those issues. Was hoping someone's found an easy way to sync the persona into the FSLogix Profile container, as that would save us a lot of time working with users to manually move all their stuff over. VMWare support has already suggested DEM has the solution to the persona issue, but that's not in the budget anytime soon.

 

If it matters:

USB Smartcard Reader & VMware Horizon

June 19, 2020, 9:13 am

Hi,

 

I am using a Smartcard and Smartcard reader with 3rd party bespoke software which allows authentication into a web-based service. This is NOT for windows authentication.

 

I read that smartcard readers are included in what is called HID-devices or Human Interface Devices. Other examples of these are mouse and keyboard and that HID Devices are by default shared between the client and the virtual desktop and is not subject to the general USB redirection policys.

 

In the windows 10 device manager, the smartcard reader doesn't display in the list as a native device. If you select view > hidden devices, the card reader appears under 'software devices'. The smartcard reader is seen by the command prompt using the command 'certutil -scinfo.' The bespoke software which is triggered when the smartcard is inserted also sees the reader.

 

If I select the USB Smartcard Reader in the VMware client view of selectable USB devices, the smartcard reader appears as normal in the windows 10 device manager as a native device under 'Smartcard Readers' however windows doesn't not see the card reader (command prompt certutil -scinfo). The bespoke software doesnt see the card reader either which I find odd.

 

There is a web based java application we use to perform card management operations and upon launch it looks for any available smartcard readers, whether the smartcard reader is selected under the vmware view list of connectable devices or not, the web based application reports no card readers connected.

 

The web based application could potentially be designed to only work in a native environment however the developers have tested the software over RDP using Virtualbox which works fine. They have not tested VMware Blast.

 

I believe the admins installed the modules for USB redirection and Smartcard when installing VMware Horzion Agent.

 

We don't use one specific type of smartcard reader, we use many different types.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello at all,

 

I have install the current Version of the VMware Horizon Client (5.2) on the current Raspbian Buster Distro.

The installation went smoothly.The subsequent scan was also error-free and the scan shows succesfull on all.

But now after the Installation I can not start the Client on the VMware Horizon Client Icon. I get only the hourglass which disappears after a short time.

I also tried to start the client  (vmware-view as command) via the console I there I will get this error:

 

/usr/bin/vmware-view: Zeile 167: /usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view: Kann die Binärdatei nicht ausführen: Fehler im Format der Programmdatei

 

 

 

Does anyone have a Idee or Solution for that?

 

Thank you and Greetz!

moving linked clones to another vcenter and off existing storage to a new storage

good afternoon.  i wanted to somewhat think out loud  with this question but  we have a storage array that is attached to our vdi environment that needs to be retired. to that end, there are multiple datastores attached to multiple hosts in more than one vcenter.  we have multiple vcenters due to the fact that we wanted some resiliency in how we did our clusters.   so my question is relatively simple:

 

what is the best, recommend, or preferred way to move non linked cloned vm's from one vcenter (Hosts and Storage) to a completely different vcenter(Hosts and Storage)?

 

a) the traditional power off, remove from inventory, migrate storage, register vm with new hosts\vcenter?

 

 

b) some other way?  example: cross vcenter utilization tool(vmware fling)

Parents showing tools not running

ESXi hosts - 6.7 Update 3, build 16316930

VMware Tools - 11.0.6

Connection server and agents - 7.11

Center appliance - v6.7.0.44100

nVidia vibs and drivers - 10.1

 

I am using three hosts and have three Horizon View pools so I end up with

3 Templates

3 Replicas

9 Parents

 

Here is the odd thing, all 9 parents are of course powered on but it shows in the vSphere web interface that VMware Tools is not running on any of them. The View desktops that are based on these parents all show VMware tools running. What causes this? This was never the case in the past and we have been running Horizon 7 for quite awhile.

Horizon Client for Linux 4.9.0 fails to run due to undefined symbol

The VMware Horizon Client for Linux version 4.9.0 fails to start with the following error on my machine:

$ vmware-view
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view-crtbora: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/vmware/libcrtbora.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib7ustring5beginEv

The missing symbol is:

$ echo "_ZN4Glib7ustring5beginEv" | c++filt
Glib::ustring::begin()

My machine is running Fedora 28 and the glibmm library does provide the Glib::ustring::begin() symbol, but only through C++11 ABI:

$ objdump -T /usr/lib64/libglibmm-2.4.so.1|grep _ZN4Glib7ustring.begin | awk '{ print $NF; }' | c++filt
Glib::ustring::begin[abi:cxx11]()

Is there any chance of getting this fixed in a newer version of the Horizon Client by providing a build for a recent Fedora release?

Hello

 

Hope every one is doing well. I need help; hopefully someone can provide some help.

 

Environment:

2K16 Servers

View Composer 7.5.2

View Connection 7.5.2

SQL Server

Link Clones

VMware Tools 10.3.10

 

We are getting the following error when creating a Desktop Pool and adding LCs to a current Desktop Pool.

 

"Error during provisioning: View Composer Datastore Fault: For Datastore - datastore-9188"

 

The Datastore sees all of the hosts and all of the Hosts and our ESXi Cluster see's the datastore see it as normal.

 

We have rebooted our SQL, View Connection, View Composer and two of the ESXi Hosts that we suspect could be contributing to the issue and are in Maintenance Mode.

Hi,

 

I am trying to add a datastore to existing pool using View powercli. While I run this command, I am getting the below error.

Then I tried putting the strings :

 

-Pool_id TEST-DATASTORE -DatastoreSpecs '[Conservative,data]/Vcenter/host/Workload_Cluster/datastorename;'

 

Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool : PowershellService::UpdateAutomaticLinkedClonePool FAILED, error=The provided datastore specs do not include any datastores configured for OS disks.

May I know why ?

 

This datastore is used for Data disks already for the other pools.

Hi all,

 

I have an instant clone pool that has a desktop that is stuck in deleting status in the admin console.  The destop in the VI Client is still there and i can console in.  I can shut down and restart with no affect at all.  Admin console still says deleting.  Tried to remove and recover and no luck.  Still the same.  I also tried to restart teh management services on the host that it resides on with no luck also.  It appears that all other desktops are working just fine in that same pool.  Any idea how to get this vm back to working status??  Any comments are welcome.  Thanks

Hi all,

 

I saw other threads that listed people with similar problems but neither those threads or Google seemed to have a good fix for my issue.  I have View version 5.2 with server 2012 running as the desktop and I have no sound.  The sound works just fine on the physical machine and in the properties I have the Teradici driver and when you do a test the green bar moves up and down as well as in the mixer.  But there is no sound coming through my headphones.  Does anyone have any idea on what I should look for next?

 

Thanks,

Chromebook/Docks/Horizon

Hello

 

We are in a position where we are working on using Chromebooks with a Plugable dock to support 2 external monitors for home/in office use.

 

We’ve had a lot of difficulties with both of the commonly available horizon apps, the android port through the google store seems to have a lot of issues with control over which displays it pushes to.


The chrome App Store VMware app seems really nice, though we are running into an issue where the lid needs closed in order to properly display to the 2 external monitors, now we are running into the lack of function key ability and the search key on the chromebook itself is not available to use with the lid being closed.

 

Do any of you have advice on what setups you have found to work fairly well? It seems each problem we work through develops a couple more issues. I appreciate any advice that can be given.

 

Thank you!

View-created VMs being deleted after cloning

Hello,

 

I have created a fresh View environment that I'm having some difficulties with. I can successfully create a desktop pool but after View clones from the Parent VM it deletes the new VMs right after they finish the clone operation. So, what happens is the Parent VM is cloned, tagged, and then the new VM is deleted.

 

Environment details:

2 ESX 4.0 Update 2 hosts

1 Physical vCenter 4.0 Update 2 server, also running View Composer

1 Physical View 4.5 Manager Server

vCenter and View Manager are both configured to use an external SQL DB

No Event DB configured

 

Any ideas? I probably just missed a config step somewhere.

iMac second monitor screen shifted up and left

I recently purchased a new 27" iMac and decided to use my old 27" iMac as a second monitor. All went well with the setup, I can connect to my work desktop and it uses the second monitor but I have a strange issue, on the second monitor everything is shifted up and to the left a little bit. This causes issues when trying to click a checkbox, I have to put the mouse pointer down and to the right of the checkbox to actually click it. It seems as though if the screen wasn't shifted up and left then I would be clicking on the actual checkbox. I am using VMWare Horizon Client 5.4.3. Any help with this would be much appreciated as this issue is totally annoying.

Can't split remote desktop screen using Horizon Client on Mac

Hey All,

 

I have a mac which I use it to remote to my work pc. We are using vmware Horizon Client 5.40 for connecting to my WIndows work pc. I wanted to be able to split my remote desktop screen to the newly added monitor attached to my mac. Even though there is lot of documentation that vmware provided, the options are not just available and I tried setting up my second monitor and had no luck. I am wondering if anyone has any idea on how to use multiple display monitors after connecting to your remote pc using this Horizon Client? Or is it that I am using a incorrect version of Horizon Client or do I need a different software to do that?

 

Thanks,

I really need to upgrade my View environment from my current version (7.4) to a newer version.  The issue i run into is that one of my hosts is still on esxi 6.5 and is NOT on the HCL for 6.7.  I really don;t want to wait until the first of the year for a new host so are there any major reasons why i shouldn't upgrade to a later version. My vCenter server is on 6.7.  Just checking to see if there are any reasons i shouldn't upgrade.  Any comments or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks
