Unable to install VMWare Horizon Client 5.4.3 on Windows 10 Home (2004) 64-bit
Hi all, i wonder if any can assist with an issue I've encountered installing Horizon Client 5.4.3 onto a customer's Windows 10 Home laptop. The install fails, reporting an error in the event logs of "The VMware Horizon Client service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly". I've re-ran the install with the AV disabled. Tried running the without the "without HTML5 MMR package" too and checked the logs but they don't give any obvious clue as to the cause. The machine is fully up to date, plenty of disk space (over 80GB free on C) and no errors I can find in Windows after running the System File Checker.
Horizon View Admin page denying access before asking for a login
Hi,
We started experiencing some strange behaviour with our View 6.0.1 server that began yesterday. I suspect there were some configuration changes made on the server, but nobody's fessing up.
Now, when we visit https://myviewserver.domain.local/admin, it displays the error "Your account is not allowed to operate through this console."
This is prior to ever being asked to login.
So far, I've cleared my browser cache + restarted. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Horizon View on the server (keeping the database).
Neither of these resolved anything.
Has anyone ever run into this or have any ideas?
Many thanks.

an other vdi pool with Windows 10 SAC 1809 is working normally, running on the same Horizon View environment and vSphere Hosts.
we tried
- use view agent 7.6,7.7
- different vdi vm nic types, E1000, E1000E, VMXNET3
- changed the PCoIP Image levels, Framerates, etc
- Different Horizon View Client versions, Linux and Windows on different Hardware
the only thing i see is in the perfmon PCoIP Session General Statistics constant TX Packets Lost. VMware case is still work-in-process..
any ideas?

setting up vmware view
hello all, general question I am setting up vmware view. I am at step 2 where I created vm machines, install view agent.
It says convert vm to templates for full-clone desktop pools or create parents for linked-clone desktop pool. I did not see
an option to convert vm to templates? or the option to create parents?
-the next step in step 2 is to take snapshots for view composer to use a vm take a snapshot of the vm parent with vcenter? I see on the guest where to take the snapshot, did not see option on the vmview server with vcenter installed the option to take a snap shot?
is there are place where I can get step by step instructions with explanations on what each means?
Replica connection server certificate is pending validation
Hello All,
I am new to VMWare Horizon product. Just installed Connections Servers. On the dashboard, I see this error for Replica Server. Not sure how to complete the validation.
I created VMWare ssl web template from CA. Configured everything for Enroll. On the replica server - requested the certificate and completed the certificate process. Imported the certificate to Trusted Root Authorities folder as well. I did this after replica server was installed. I did delete self signed certificate that was created during replica server install. I deleted because did not needed as, I am using certificate from CA.
Thanks

View Admin Dash in HTML5 vs Flex/Flash
In the horizon admin dashboard we have with Flex/Flash there is a quick view under "Machine Status" that shows :
*Preparing
*Problem Machines
*Prepared for Use
and in the dropdown under "prepared for use" there is a tally of the total machines provisioned, available, connected and disconnected.
In horizon admin HTML5 (Horizon 7.12) I dont see any area of the dashboard that gives this same data and I have to manually go thru each desktop pool and add up individually the numbers from each pool to get a total.
Am I just missing it or is this feature still in the HTML5 dash or from a fling I can use ?
Microphone support in VMWare View
Hi
I'm busy with a proof of concept for VMWare view. So far everything has been setup and working quite nicely. I am using View 4.6 and hosting my Win 7 x64 VM's on a Vsphere environment with ESX 4.0 hosts.
I can log into my VM's using the view client via a View Administror Server. Once logged in, sound works fine, I can open mp3's or youtube and sound works in general. Going into Device Manager I can see there is a device called VMWare virtual audio (devtap) installed, although the virtual machine settings via Virtual Centre obviously displays no sound device.
After starting to play around with some of our applications, including Microsoft lync, I noticed that I cannot make audio calls to other Lync clients, most likely due to there not being any microphone support here. I have tried to do the same thing from a thinclient with audio out / mic in jacks, but get the same result. Is there some sort of driver which allows for microphone emulation the same way as which is currently being used for sound card emulation for View?
VDI freezes when using PCoIP but ok using Blast and RDP
Hi experts. I'm battling this issue for a day now and maybe you can point me to the right direction to fix it.
We are deploying a new vdi image in our VMware Horizon Environment and i'm having issue when connecting via PCoIP, it connects for a few seconds and just freeze, and goes black screen. No issues when using Blast and RDP on the new image. Its not a port issue as we have a number of existing pools using PCoIP as default protocol, it only happens on this new images.
Our version of Horizon is 7.2 ..yes its old as i just inherited this environment. Upgrade will be done for sure. The images are Windows 10 Pro.
Thanks in advance for those who will help.
Scaling issues with VMWare Horizon on Mac (Blurry Text)
Howdy all,
Facing a very odd problem with Macs, 4K screens and the Horizon Client (either 5.4.3 or 2006, I have tried both).The problem I am facing seems to be with Mac clients and scaling. As I run 4K monitors, I have the scaling on Mac set to emulate 'Looks like 3008 x 1692'. However, when there is any scaling in place on the Mac (other than Native Resolution of 3840 x 2160 I get blurry text on the screen.
Example Below:
In Microsoft RDP, the text is crisp and clear, in Horizon PCOIP and Blast, it is not (nor funnily enough - Horizon RDP). I have tried the latest client 2006 to no avail. I have also deployed the Group Policy for DPI Scaling (again to no avail).
If I remove scaling from the Mac, at native resolution 3840 x 2160, everything is crisp and clear via Horizon and scales perfectly, even if using the Apps. The moment there is any scaling set on the Mac at all (in System Preferences), I get the blocky text as though Horizon is selecting the scaled resolution of 3008 x 1692 (not, the equivalent hi-dpi).
I have followed the guides at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Mac/5.4/horizon-client-mac-installation/GUID-B821ECF5-D1F5-4D00-8F0C-0EDCBEC6A924.html
and
Using a High-Resolution Mac with Retina Display
However, I get no such option for 'Connection > Resolution > Full Resolution' when connecting to the Desktop via Horizon (running sessions on a Windows 2019 standard server). I have ensured I have selected 'Automatic Resolution' as well (as a condition of getting the 'Connection --> Resolution' menu, again, it does not show up in the Mac Horizon Client.
Has anyone experienced this, or know what might be the cause? I have run into little speed humps here and there, all of which I have been able to overcome (and enjoyed, hey, tis a learning process after all) but this one has me more than a little stumped and pulling my hair out.
Thank you all!

Azure Hybrid Join...
Has anyone successfully hybrid joined with Azure AD with Instant Clones?
Planning to join Non-Persistent VDI's to Hybrid Azure AD join
Hi All,
We have a challenge to join Horizon view Windows 7 Non-Persistent VDI's to Hybrid Azure AD domain.
I got to know that joining the Windows 7 Non-Persistent VDI's to Hybrid Azure AD domain will leave stale computer objects in Azure AD when the user logs off from the VDI.
Where as it is not the case in On-premises where the VDI where there are no stale computer objects are not created.
I got the information from the below link.

Please help me if someone has more information on my questions.

Cloud Pod Architecture with UAGs
Hello:
I'm trying to find this information in the documentation and so far cannot find the answer. We are setting up a new Horizon environment and linking it to our old environment at another site using Cloud Pod Architecture. Everything is working good internally. Now we are going to set up external access using UAGs. What I'm trying to find out is if the UAGs at the new site need to communicate directly to the Connection Server at the old site. To better phrase the question:
We have Site A, and Site B, both linked with CPA.
I have UAGs in Site B in a DMZ. We want to point all users to the UAGs in Site B, for VMs running in Site A.
Do the UAGs in Site B, need to be able to reach the Connection Servers in Site A, for authentication? Or will they only need to reach Connection Servers at their site (Site B)? Currently the UAGs are pointed at the Connection Servers at Site B.
Hopefully this is a simple answer. We are just trying to get firewall rules in place for our DMZ network.
Thank you.
Horizon View Administrator SAML 2.0 Authenticator Issue
Hello,
I tried to create a new SAML 2.0 Authenticator via View Administrator on fresh new installation and when I try to add authenticator with static metadata I get the following error:
"Failed to add SAML 2.0 Authenticator:
StaticMetadata with this entityID already in use"
And the metadata is not used anywhere in the horizon. Hopefully some of you will know the solution.
Thanks in advance

Local Drive Question/Issue
Had a couple pools running out of space on the Local C drive so i redid the master VM. The question i have is concerning the overhead that there is when creating VM's in the pool. Currently on my new master i have a 50GB partition and there is 29GB of free space. However when i compose the desktops in the pools the desktop now shows only 5GB of free space. This is going to be an issue and would like to find out what is going on. This master is Optimized and i believe configured correctly. Any help or info is appreciated. Thanks
Remote access to Horizon Connection Admin Console via UAG
Hi there
Is it allowed to connect to the connection server admin console via UAG?
I have a unified URL whether I am remote or on orem. If remote it the requests goes to the UAG loadbalanced VIP and then hits the internal connection servers.
On-prem everything goes directly to connection servers. There is no issue using the admin console.
When I am off-site I can connect fine to the portal client via UAG but not admin console.
I am trying to figure out where issue lies and I wonder if the UAG block access the horizon connection admin console somehow? I could understand if they did from a security point of view but just trying to understand and cannot find anything on this
Cheers
