• Why I am invited to a certificate at the launch of VMWare Server home page?

  Why I am invited to a certificate at the launch of VMWare Server home page?  I know it's not everyone.  Many of my colleagues use VMWare server, and it is not prompted to select a certificate.

  You are prompted because the server uses the SSL certificate by default demo. The demo cert is issued by VMWare, this transmitter is not approved by your browser if you receive the certificate error message when you try to access the page.

  If you use Firefox, you can add the certificate as an exception by selecting the drop down menu "I understand the risks", "Add Exception".

  If you use IE you can continue to the Web site, and then select the "certificate error" warning message in the address bar (assuming that you have IE 7/8) and by adding the exception it (view certificate > install the certificate).

  Beyond the options above to add the certification to your browsers trust certificate store, you can download a new web SSL certificate on your server issued by a common approved issuer (i.e. VeriSign, or your own approved Cert authority internal).

• Error "Failed to connect to the remote computer" VMware View Client

  Hello everyone. I'm currently testing the package VMware view, but stuck on a problem, I can't understand.  I have already tried Googling every possible thing, but still came short on what to do.

  Currently I have:

  Server ESXi 3.5

  -vCenter Server

  -Connection to the server

  -3 swimming pools installed individual office xp host w/view agents

  At the moment, I seemed straight installation because I am able to connect using VMware client/portal with any full blown windows box anywhere in the internal network.  The problem I have is when I try to load the client software VMware view on a HP Neoware e90 box running windows xp embedded.  When I loaded the software and try to connect, I get the address connection server, authentication screen passes, but receives the error "the connection to the remote computer failed" when I try to select one of the desktop images in the list.

  I am capable of everything everywhere, ping from thin client to conn. Server, thin client desktop image and vice versa.  I am also able to RDP in the desktop images in the light client area but just can't understand why it won't pass this error above.  I tried to disable the firewall on everything, but it still doesn't seem to work.  Am I missing a simple step or has someone else has encountered this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  When you have disabled the firewall was that the firewall or service / network level? If it was at the level of the network, then you must disable the service and stop it. If you have the service, then can you get the logs of the client and post them. Often this info can indicate where he is faced with a problem.

• The installation of VMWare View Server program

  Hello

  I have a solution of ESXi, vSphere 5 where I host all my virtual servers with a virtual vCenter Management Standard.  I'm working on that I need for a configuration of VMWare View and I was hoping someone here could help me.

  I have 12 physical blades to host my VMWare View solution (according to the calculations of number of jobs) and I have VMWare View Bundle licenses.

  Ive been reading through the notes and he says that this set comes with an edition of vCenter.

  A few questions:

  My existing vCenter instance should be used to manage the VMWare View host or do I need to install a separate instance of vCenter VMWare View and use the license in the bundle?

  I guess I should install ESXi instances in the beam that will allow me to supply only desktop computers?

  If I have servers connection and composer, should they be hosted in Clusters VMWare View or the cluster of servers existing vsphere 5?

  If this is the case, I also have a question about the network configuration.  When I install the ESXi for VMWare View, will I still have a requirement for a management console, the vmkernel, and the 'Front End' (for users IP address) vnic to the vswitch?

  Another question about the round rbin DNS.  I try to also install Connection 2 and 2 servers of composer whose load is balanced.  Anyone has any info on setting up of Robin DNS?

  Thank you very much

  We use a 6 with network storage based physical NETWORK adapter configuration.

  You will have a default port for management.  vMotion is split to its own IP address, and these two vmkernel ports are on the same vSwitch, with natachasery used by one and waiting for the other.

  iSCSI must be separated from its own vSwitch and pair of NICs as well supported by linked vmkernel ports for redundancy and load balancing.

  This leaves at least another vSwitch and pair of natachasery to the actual traffic of vm.

• Provision of servers across the Web using VMware View 4.0

  Hello

  I have an obligation to provide servers via http. I have the license for Vmware View, but have no idea where to start? I installed view a server in the DMZ, but we must talk back to the field so I put discarded it.

  My ultimate goal is to open a web browser and type the address of a server, and log in to access to the server via the web browser.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  View supports the addition of server farms existing Terminal Server to it's broker for connections giving the user a single place to connect to their strong server and virtual desktop terminal server.   All you have to do is create a new pool and add your terminal servers to the pool.  Notice only addresses the brokerage operations of connections to Terminal servers.

• Unable to connect to the host via VMWare View Security Server 4

  I have installed and configured the VMWare View connection server and can connect to the virtual machine (Windows XP Pro) shareed via the customer to view without a problem. The problem Im having is that I have configured the Security server in my zone demilitarized and authorized the appropriate DMZ ports and the port 80 and 443 to the outside on my DMZ. Access the public URL and he invites me to authenticate what I do and it then publishes my office pool. I click to connect to the shared pool and it says connection for about 5 drops of s and then just my connection. Now, if I go to my security on my DMZ server, I can connect to the thin desktop via RDP.

  Thank you

  eeg3 is correct if you have a direct connection enabled on the broker for connections paired with security server then you would be forced to open 3389 to the outside world since the workstations would try to connect directly to the desktop.    The right way to go forward is to create the replica with disabled direct connection and combine security with this box server.

• Several areas in the Horizon of VMware View AD

  Hi guys, I want to test creating Pools with 2 Active Directory domains. I have set up my environment as follows:

  
  

  Domain A

  
  

  1. connecting to the server

  Server 2-composer

  3-Security Server

  4 - vCenter Server

  
  

  Domain B

  1. connecting to the server

  2. created a separate account to View Composer

  For now seen Horizon 5.3.2 is fully functional on the field. But I need your help deployment pool using domain B. After you have configured the connection Server (joined to Domain B), I tried to add domain B by using view composer account by logging in to view Admin(Domain A) > Edit vCenter Server > change display composer settings > check server information (under Domain) but I'm 'Bad domain name.

  
  

  You guys please help or send me a link of approval one way of installation which is required for VMware View, so that I can deploy Pool using domain B.

  
  

  Without creating confidence, I added redirector conditional field B on the field which allow me to add domain B without "Bad domain name" pop up. But I don't know what to do next. Anyone can guide me please.

  
  

  Concerning

  Hello

  I've done below the configuration to create 2 different pools where VM is joined to 2 different domains.

  I have Domain A and domain B, having 2 confidence way configured by the AD team.

  I sent 3 win 2 k 8 Server and added to the field.-a. On a single server, I installed vCenter & composer on one server I installed the login server & the other I did the Server fall back to the existing connection server.

  In connect to server, I added vCenter & composer. I have 2 different users who have domain join rights in Domain A and domain B.

  Domain-A\abcUser

  Domain-B\xyzUser

  I added above 2 users in the view composer under domain settings. PFA.

  When creating a pool, in the comments tab customization for users of domain-A, I chose identifier of domain-A\abcUser machine Domain-A and the AD container, which is present in Domina-A place machines.

  for domain B user created another pool, and tab customization of comments, I chose domain-B\xyzuser and the AD container that belongs to the domain B to place machines.

  If you want to add a different machines, you must not deploy a connection/replica server in each domain. Just add the ID domain user under domain composer view tab and choose the right ID when creating the pool.

• The user of VMware View desktop

  Hello

  When a user login to VMware View for the first time they are assigned to a complete virtual machine, but their AD user account is not added to the local administrator group.

  Is there a way to automate this?

  Also, is there a way to force the sysprep command to add this machine to a specific OU in active directory?

  Thank you

  CS

  Hello.

  Why they would be added to the local Administrators group?

  I guess the best way to achieve this would be to add users to an ad group and add this group to the local administrator group.

• Restrict the movement of files to physical machine to the Virtual Office (vmware view)

  Hi all

  I have a question, I am using virtual desktop with vmware view. I'm on a physical machine using this machine that I log on to the virtual machine using office remotely. (vmware view). My question is that I don't want the users of the physical machine to copy and paste the files of the virtual machine and vice versa.

  When I open virtual desktop, go to my computer, I see drive c (virtual machine disk) and then share the disks of the physical machine. When I click on them, they open and then I am able to copy all files in this shared folder on the virtual desktop. I want to restrict any idea how could I go about this. Help, please.

  Arun N

  Using RDP?

  In this case, you can use GPO (virtual desktop) to disable drive sharing.

• Desktop computer and the creation of VMware View pools

  I tested VMware view in a lab and got stuck on the addition of a pool of offices.  I have followed the guide "Getting started with VMware View" and encountered no errors up to this point.  I have a Windows XP VM and cloned it to a model.  I'm on the "Parent VM" section in the "Add Desktop" Wizard, but I don't seem to have an option to choose.  It displays my data center, but it is grayed out, so there is nothing to select.  I also noticed a note in the Parent virtual machine window saying that all VM at least one software component plug-in is filtered from the list.  I went back to the VC server and created a wink, but I don't see an option in the window.  Am I missing a step somewhere?

  On the assumption that youv'e ' e ' ipconfig/release', turning the machine off and then taken the snapshot--master

  If it is just a superstition of the mine, if you have tried everything else, try turning it back on the basic machine (master), after creating the snapshot.

  Thank you

• How can I get rid of the security warning when viewing Web pages

  I recently received a security window pop-up asking if I want to view only Web pages delivered safely. How can I get rid of this and why I see this all of a sudden

  Hi Elizabeth,.

  I don't know why he suddenly began occurring - maybe it was an update or something you have installed.  It may be a corrupted system file or maybe even malware. It is very difficult to tell without extensive trials.  But let's focus on the most likely solutions.  Later, if you want to go back to the 'why', we can make some procedures to test potential causes (although if the problem is resolved, it can be very difficult to identify the cause because it can be fixed or repaired money) - but I'll be happy to go there with you, if you want to.

  In Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options / Security / Internet / Custom level / then highlight near the bottom in the section, until you get to "Display mixed content".  My guess is that it is defined at the command prompt (which is the window that you see).  You have three choices: you can leave things as they are on command prompt and decide in each case what you want to do (which is how I have mine set up - it really is not so common).  You can click on Enable and IE automatically displays pages with mixed content and no prompt.  You can click on disable and IE will display not these pages (and will probably give you a screen indicating the reason and you must then choose somewhere else to go or perehaps click on the back button to go to the page that brought you to this page to see if there is no indication to choose one type of content and avoid the problem (although I've honestly never seen such an option).)

  For what it's worth, I almost always approve unless I'm on an unknown site where I already feel uncomfortable for a reason-so I can choose to refuse to approve and give up everything I did and move on (but it happens so rarely I honestly don't remember not that last time who had held-) It has been several months at least.

  If this does not work (or it has not been set to prompt), do you know where this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re-install any software and updates that you have installed and uninstall any software that you have removed between now and the point of restoration, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and, if you can provide me with some links to these sites (I don't remember those where it happened to me) so I can further research and to test the results.

  Thanks and good luck!

• The upgrade of VMware View Agent from 5.2 to 5.3 causes agent become inaccessible in Horizon administrator.

  Short throughout, I was unable to update several agents to 5.3, because the 5.2 msi could not be found.

  I followed the instructions on this page (KB VMware: UpgradingVMware View Agent and View Composer fails with the error: the component that you are trying to use is o...) and installed the agent 5.3

  It worked on the test systems 3. When I went to live 2 principles broke. I can RDP but you cannot use the Client to connect and get a response that says that the resource is not available.

  I looked into the Horizon view Admin and they are listed as inaccessible agent, matching State pairings.

  I did the following.

  Uninstalled agent 5.3.

  Uninstalled the tools.

  Reinstalled them both.

  The removed from the inventory of the pool and added them.

  This is Win7 systems.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Fred

  I could solve this problem by removing the pool, then adding back and then restarting the agent service. It sometimes took two reboots, but that's fine.

• What NAT ports in the firewall for VMware View Server Security?

  We have a Cisco ASA and I wonder what are the ports I need NAT from the outside to the Security Server?  I'm assuming that port 443, but don't know if this is correct or if maybe other ports must be open.

  Thank you!

• Disable the protocols and encryption algorithms in VMware View connection server and security

  Hello

  In my recent deployment, I had a customer request to disable some protocols and encryption at the Server VMware View connection and security. I read some articles and found that this has been achieved by editing the locked.properties file. But when we have edited and replaced the file, users could not connect to the virtual desktop, so came back to us backwards and desktop computers worked fine.

  I found a few articles that we don't need to edit the locked.properties file in VMware view Horizon 6. If someone has done this please guide me through. Here are the details of the protocols and encryption algorithms that should be disabled

  Diffie-Hellman key

  Enable SSL v2/V3 and TLS 1.1 and 1.2

  Disable the RC4 encryption algorithm

  Select the secret of transfer (if possible)

  
  

  VMware view 6 is the connection to the server and security server.
  

  
  

  Thank you.
  

  Hello

  I implemented the following steps (from the manual):

  1. update the JCE policy files to take in charge the high-strength Cipher Suites

  You can add some cipher suites of high resistance for greater assurance, but first you must update the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files to each server instance and the security strategy for JRE 7 see connection to the server. You update these policy files by downloading the files to extend JCE (Java Cryptography) unlimited strength political jurisdiction from the Oracle Java SE download site 7.

  If you include some high-strength cipher suites in the list and you do not replace the policy files, you cannot restart the VMware view Horizon connection to the Server service.

  Policy files are located in the directory C:\Program View\Server\jre\lib\security from VMware.

  For more information on the download of the JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy 7 files, see the Oracle Java SE download site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

  After you update the policy files, you need to create backups of the files. If you upgrade the instance of the view connection server or security server, any changes you have made to these files can be replaced, and you may need to restore the backup files.

  2. the changes that policies of global acceptance with ADSI Edit

  • Start the ADSI utility on your computer see connection to the server.
  • In the console tree, select Connect to
  • In the selection or type a unique name text box or a naming context, type the unique name
    DC, DC = vdi is vmware, DC = int.
  • In the type or select a text field or the server box, select or type localhost: 389 or the name of a fully qualified domain (FQDN) of the server computer to connect to port 389 followed view.

  For example: localhost: 389 or mycomputer.mydomain.com:389

  • Expand the tree of the ADSI Editor, OU = properties, select OU = Global, then select OU = common in the right pane.
  • On the object CN = common, Global = UO, UO = properties, select each attribute that you want to change and enter the new list of security protocols or cipher suites.
    I used the following settings:

  EAP-ServerSSLCipherSuites: \LIST:TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

  EAP-ServerSSLSecureProtocols_ \LIST:TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2

  It is not the highest possible, but they work with all the features of our customers.

  • Restart the service of VMware view Horizon connection server (server connection and security).

  This is not Activate secret transfer (if possible) , but other points are covered.

  If anyone can give a tip to activate the transfer secret, I would be grateful.

• Customer light HP t5325 doesn't work don't not with VMware View 5

  Hello

  I recently got a slim Pro HP t5325 customer for testing with VMware view 5. I ve the thin client to the latest firmware update:

  http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 12454 & prodSeriesId = 4063703 & prodNameId = 4063704 & swEnvOID = 4030 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = vc-99080-1)

  who has the view 4.6 customer and according to the VMware compatibility list:

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/PDF/vi_view_guide.PDF

  It should work with view 5. But when I try to launch the client and connect to your desktop from view, he asks just a super quick message (which I don't see) and then it brands the "active" session, but it doesn't open anything . View 5 Client on my laptop works very well and I m able to access the same desktop VM.

  My current setup is:

  • vCenter server 5
  • ESXi5
  • VMware View 5

  What Miss me? Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I had the same problem this week. He is not related to view 5, same problem exists also with 4.6.

  The problem seems to be that when you try to open the connection, the client calls a /usr/bin/view_wrapper.sh script and this script does NOT run with user privileges? However, if you switch to admin and then open the connection this script works well. You can test it by opening the X terminal in the thin client, then the su user and try to run the script manually /usr/bin/view_wrapper.sh start at 0 and you will get a prompt for sudo.

  I tried to add the useraccount 'user' in/etc/sudoers and allow that user rights sudo for view_client and view_wrapper.sh programs. Did not help

  If you add the user 'user' to the root group, connection opens fine but then you let the open thin client for the standard user to mess with.

  Quite a bug in the software? They don't do any test before releasing these?
