Automation of VMWare View with PCOIP 5.0
Hello
I am trying to automate the execution of applications in VMWare View Client (PCOIP). However, I'm stuck with sending the keys to applications. I tried in vain on the keyboard to screen, SendKeys, keyboard hook to this effect. I also read VIX API documentation but I don't think that it works for me because I don't have administrator rights. Please notify.
Kind regards
Amjad Ali
I'm not sure I understand the question either, but I had some success using AutoIT (http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/) for automation in the past. Using this, you can compile a script as an executable to run in the virtual machine.
If you do not have rights admin on the virtual machine, you can still use the Run value in the registry for the current user to start an application when you connect. Have you tried to put the path to the executable file that you are trying to launch in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run?
You might be able to use both of these ideas and set the path to an AutoIT executable in the HKCU Run key to get the automation level you are looking for.

VMware View 4 - PCoIP - scanning is very slow
When you scan from a USB scanner from a heavy client without VDI, it takes 7 seconds. When you use VMware View with PCoIP 4.0, it takes 52 seconds.
Any suggestions?

Test environment for VMware View 7 - PCoIP Protocol does not work properly
We test VMware View 7 with as many Thin Clients and customers zero (Teradici)
When we try to connect via RDP Protocol, it works fine. When we try to connect via the PCoIP Protocol, desktop display seems to blink (about 2 times per second) and display resolution is not acceptable. So, there is a problem with the Protocol (broker or Office VM)
There are no firewall in the middle.
Desktop virtual has a clean install.
So... anyone have the same number? or similar?

Hello colleagues!
VMware Horizon Client 3.4.0 build-2769709
VMware View 6.1.1 construction-2769403
VMware vSphere 6.0.0 2776511
That's what's wrong: used SecurityServer and connecting to the server. External connection - via a router. When it is connected to a vmware PCOIP Protocol (Internet) outside of the view with a Windows client and a web browser, it works fine. But when connecting from Android or Linux (Ubuntu 14) load the desktop does not occur. Android immediately displays the message 'connection to server lost', Ubuntu delivers all messages - I'll be back on the screen to select a pool table.
Which connection via MS RDP connection protocol is correctly to all customers.
In the settings ConnectionServer in PCOIP Security Gateway set up the external address of the router.
Redirect them router ports:
-TCP 80,443,8443,4172,32111
-UDP 4172,32111
Any ideas?
In security settings server in 'URL of PCOIP' was FQDN, but it must be the IP address.

VMware View with mixed processors on hosts
Hello
I have a client with an existing vmware view environment. the hosts are of 3 years older AMD servers, which will be replaced in the coming years.
because of performance, we will move from AMD to Intel.
We have a picture of office of parent in a floating pool automated with linked clones.
When you start windows on a new processor architecture, you will receive a message that the hardware has changed a you must restart.
So the question how it reacts, when using quickprep.
everyone experiences with that? This working group or failure of deployment process?
Greetings from vmworld Barcelona
Ah, I see. Yes, once the Parent virtual machine was launched on the new hardware, the two processors exist in Windows. Windows clean up one old is why it stays in place which prevents the message from appearing again.

VMware View 5 PCoIP get a black screen on wide AREA network
Hello community,
I got a VMware View 5 Infrastructure with a vCenter Server, a connectionserver of view and some clients such as VMs.
Internally, everything works - connections PCoIP and RDP do their job very well.
Know that we want to publish the vDesktops over the WAN. Users must connect to the virtual machines in their laptops or iPad (or iPhone) at home. So, we have configured our firewall to open the IP Wan (194.209.166.xy) to the internal IP (192.168.199.xy). A DNS entry for view.xy.com shows the IP WAN. If the WAN connection to infrastructure display RDP works - but PCoIP connections shows a black screen after 10 to 30 seconds after logon. We never see an interaction of oder break Windows. The screen is black after the logoninformations in the client view.
We have configured the connectionserver display settings as described in some articles here... 7
The external url HTTPS: https://view.xy.com
checkbox activ: tunnel connection secure user desktop
PCoIP external url: 194.209.166.xy:4172
checkbox activ: use pcoip gateway secure for pcoip Desktop connections
We have forgotten to do some settings or is it an another workaround to work with PCoIP over the WAN?
Kind regards
Freddie

Hello together,
I had a problem with the connection with PCOIP on WAN.
I can open my IE with https://externalviewserver:4172, but when I click on continue I don't have logon screen.
After a while the IE wnt in timeout.
Thank you very much for the help.
Hmm, I think you got it wrong somewhere.
You must install the client from view, he points to the broker to view http/https connections, authenticate and you can then choose a desktop computer to connect to.

Is it wise to use VMware View with Citrix branch repeater?
Guys,
Is it possible to use Citrix branch repeater for VMware View 4.5? Seems that it is not possible or is meaningless, I Googled, but impossible to find clues.
Thoughts?
Thank you
Laughing out loud
If you want a RODC so make sure you use the branch Repeater, but I guess you want to use it for WAN acceleration. If so you must keep in mind that Citrix using ICA and the BR which accelerates. View uses RDP and PCoIP (I hope you use PCoIP) PCoIP is UDP based and a BR who would not help. Cisco's web acceleration products that could help. Also, I hope that you will see an Accelerator for PCoIP in 2011.

VMware VI3, VMware View with Novell eDirectory integration
Hello
We are a COMPUTER consulting company and we have a lot of colleges and universities using Novell looking at VMware VI3 and VMware VIew.
(1) for VMware VI3 tabs of permissions must be able to connect to an LDAP server to Active Directory only.
(2) for VMware VIew 3, the VMware Agent should be integrated into the Novell Client for Windows...
We did a little proof of concept with VMware View, and each time that the Novell Client are causing a lot of problems with VMware View Agent. It's bad because these 2 projects has been more than 10000 thin clients. They decided to Citrix XenDesktop used instead.
It'll be great if you can built your product with the architecture of Novell.
Best regards

Yes, it would be nice
a question: you say that a decision was made to use XenDesktop: are you still using VMware VI3? or XenServer?

VMWare View with RSA SecurID integration
Hi all.
We try to make VMware View to authenticate users through RSA SecurID according to the attached document. However, it is not clear where to put the node Secret file that is generated on the RSA Authentication Manager server? It is exported in the form of .rec file and is protected by a password, but server configuration view has all fields to load the node secret file. Should I simply rename the securid .rec file and put in %SystemRoot%\System32\securid? But how to do View Server to decrypt this file by using the password then?
On the RSA server, I see in the newspapers:
2010-03-12 08:05:49U-
/viewservername.company.com-
12/03/2010 03:05:49U verification of node doesn't have a rsa - ace - server.company.com
RSA doc says
"An incompatibility between the secret of node stored on an authentication manager and subsequently stored on an Agent Host may occur if you delete and re-create an Agent Host, or if you accidentally delete a secret file of the nodes. The incompatibility prevents messages between devices which is decrypted and causes the Agent Host deny access to all users who attempt to log on. Node of that check failed is recorded in the audit trail.
Hello
for me it is look like this attached image.

Getting RDP not with view 4 PCoIP
I installed the 4 Agent seen in a XP SP3, fully updated windows update, VM with VDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent = 0 specified since I'm not (yet) using vCenter View 4 with PCoIP selected server installation option. Login v4 Server also provide a W2K3 x 86 VM and created an individual office with this XP VM with PCoIP set as the default protocol. All virtual machines hosted on ESX 4u1.
When I connect, as a non-domain administrator user, I get a MOP, not PCoIP, connection, such as confirmed by the connection to the server "Active Sessions" and a qwinsta in the session of the view. It is with the View 4 client (without offline) installed on a Vista SP2 x 86 machine.
I don't see anything obviously wrong in the newspapers on the client.
Anyone got any ideas how I can get PCoIP going or it is not unless you use vCenter, although I don't quite see why that would be?
Post edited by: guyrleech
Previously, I was connecting via IE8 so I just tried with the customer directly, sure I select PCoIP such as the Protocol, and now is shows the link as "wdcon" when I run qwinsta while when I was getting RDP he says "rdpwd" and said: I'm on the console, not a winstation rdp.
The connection to the server is also now show me as having a PCoIP connection so that it looks similar to this might be a limitation of the entrance via a browser rather than directly by the customer.
The planning of Architecture Guide States the following on the view with PCoIP:
PCoIP has the following limitations:
You cannot use the virtual printing with PCoIP functionality.
Cards using smart only is not supported if you use PCoIP.
Users who have access to their virtual desktops with portal view cannot use PCoIP.
View = view Web Portal Portal to access virtual desktops.

VMware vs vmware view vs. horizon wdm
Hi dear friends
I need to know what is withholding wdm of vmware with vmware view with view horizon (features, tools and technical sheet)
If there is this a document please show me
They are essentially the same product, with more recent versions (which contain additional features) coming out under a slightly different name - the order you listed them is also the order of the liberation. VMware VDM has been renamed to VMware View, and when it is included in the Suite of the Horizon, it was changed to Horizon of VMware View. Why do you specifically, the licensing options?

VMware View is over-equipped?
Hello!
Having a small company of VMware View seems MUCH too complicated and overengineered. Can this be true?
I mean that the alternative is a pWindows machine to connect to a machine vWindows with mstsc.exe. I know it is not completely the same, but it is also very long path between a solution that works out-of-the-box and VMware View with much installation of the client OS, directory servers, see security, view connection server, server transfer from view, the slim viewers, tool view composer and General everything that is necessary to get this working.
And then it only works for Windows desktop computers. Using something like the console in vSphere client redirection is able to display all the OS' are - even Android!
(Ok! Forcing my employees to use for their daily work vSphere client would proberbly many resignations ;-)) but I is possible!
Am I missing something here? I mean VMware-view-evaluators - Guide.pdf is 152 pages (!) - long 'mstsc.exe remoteserver' is just... a line?
Is there a simple solution for this. It's like building a spaceship to get a Coke to the nearest 7-11. It's 'just' a shutoff Holy crap! :-)
Best regards

Don't forget when you are dealing with 10-50 VM that is not for to be honest.
You see a company of 10 or 20 depending on what lines you have you can find a service provider where they can provide you with da (computer desktop as a Service) and which would reduce as much cost
I did a small deployment without costly storage and costly servers and the system worked well.
Then give the user a Zero-Client and boom!
