Horizon View Client 2.2 cannot solve the short hostname to connect to the server

Not sure if it worked in previous versions, but version 2.2 client view Horizon doesn't seem to be able to resolve the short hostnames to connect to the server.  The FULL domain name or the IP address works fine however.  Here is my config:

VMware vCenter 5.1. U1 (Build 1064983)

VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 (Build 1065491)

VMware View 5.3.0 build-1427931 (1 connection to the server)

(currently without using composer)

The servers view and vCenter are virtual machines running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent. SP1 64-bit

My laptop is running Windows 7 Ent. SP1 64-bit (6.1.7601) and I am running View Client 2.2.0 build-1404668.

DNS seems to work very well on my office and all VMware servers above.  I do a nslookup the hostname of short-sighted connection to the server from the cmd prompt.  The field is defined and in the list of search suffix on each device and the short host name seems to work in all of the other apps on my desktop.  Not facing DNS problems with other applications.  Even the vSphere client accepts a short hostname for the vCenter server.  I know that I can use the FULL domain name or IP address, but I'm just curious to know which prevents the short host name to work in the view client and can it be resolved?

Yes, the issue was identified internally. View Client used a 3rd party library and it has limitation which results in this problem. Up to now, we are not sure that the fix will be involved in which version. But we follow the problem and get back to you as soon as we have a few farm update.

Thank you

    I arrived on the solution after you follow through with your suggestion above. I used the client on a Windows PC, then after that record on I clicked on 'Options' in the bar of VMwareView Client session and erased the text is 'auto connect to this office.

  • Help with renovation Horizon View client for Mac

    I'm packaging the client VMware View Horizon for our Mac desktops and laptops (we have about 150). Normally, it is a very simple and very easy process with this client because it is just a soft. We use Apple PackageMaker to repackage the Horizon of VMware View Client.appand add the plist for the test user for the deployment of future users profiles. We used some com.vmware.view.plist in the past to ensure that our connection to the server is prefilled and force PCoIP. It has worked great for us with all < 2.3 versions.

    From 2.3 and 3.0 now, I have not been able to repackage the application correctly. I have download the .dmg to VMware and copy the .app in it in / applications; This is exactly how a user would install it on their system. I run the Client discovers once and connect to our login server using the settings I want to paste when you deploy this application to our machines. Then using PackageMaker, I point the first part of the package that will be created for Applications/Vmware view Horizon Client.app as usual (including the roots). It's normal. I choose com.vmware.view.plist file, and I'm using a plist Editor, delete the entry for my test user name and office that I'm connected to. In PackageMaker, the destination of this .plist file is in the default profile for the mac - so whenever a new user connects to the mac, they will receive the file .plist with the parameters we want. Sounds good. The package is built successfully. I deploy it on a machine to test successfully.

    When I connect on a test system and run the client from the view, I can connect properly. If I try to use the menu connection/printing enabled, all hell breaks loose and I get a series of errors;

    Invalid file in the package.

    The file is not valid:

    / Applications/VMware Horizon view Client.app/Contents/Library/thnuclnt/thnusetup.sh.

    Please download the official product.

    If I try to start services remotely USB, I get a similar error once it issues a warning that I will be asked to enter the credentials of the admin;

    Invalid file in the package.

    The file is not valid:

    / Applications/VMware Horizon view Client.app/Contents/Library/InitUsbServices.tool.

    Please download the official product.

    ?? If I run the app from the .dmg on this same machine, I have no problem. Any ideas?

    OK, I just had to put the question so that I could think clearly through it.

    There are some extended attributes on these shell scripts that PackageMaker removes when it reconditions the app. I conditioned as a .dmg, and copy the app via the postinstall script in the pkg... works very well after that.

    All welcomed to this topic?

    Unfortunately the newspapers show much... (note: they do not contain client-side logs)

    one thing I thought well... since he is a computer thinClient - we have seen the questions that manufacturers computer thinClient some of their own 'management' software install on the client. He often tries to do things with usb devices (maybe try to share them between a receiver client citrix application and view client app or maybe just there is a citrix receiver application installed too). In our experience, we've seen these apps interfere between them as they try to hang the bottom of usb devices down into the kernel.

    as such, could you try stop any 3rd party services - either citrix or your provider of thin client and then try again.

    If the problem persists, can you be sure to also collect these log files from the computer thinclient:

    Windows client

    • %ProgramData%\VMware\VDM\logs\debug-*.txt
      AND
    • C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\vmware-usbarb-*.log

    Linux client

    • default /tmp/vmware-root/VMware-view-Usbd-*.log
      AND
    • / Library/Logs/VMware/vmware-usbarbitrator -.log

    for reference, the Agent-side usb connects:

    • %ProgramData%\VMware\VDM\logs\debug-*.txt

    see you soon

    I have not had this happens in another version of Safari, but since the update more recent (9.1.1 on May 17, 2016), I get the following message several times a day: "Safari cannot find the server. Refreshing the page does not help. After I visit some other sites, I am able to connect to those that I had a problem with. Most of the information I could find going back five or more and seems not applicable. It is not necessarily the same sites that don't load. It is random and occurs throughout the day. It's annoying and sometimes embarrassing, but I'm dealing with it (I didn't wish)!

    Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bug in the latest version of Safari and there at - it an easy fix? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
