Horizon view license constraints

Hello

I was invited to ask a question about the limitations of the license mode by our office team and what they are allowed to run. Currently we have the following licenses:

vCenter Server

vCenter Server Standard 6 for Horizon

See connection to the server

Horizon 6 Standard view

ESXi hosts

vSphere 6 for desktop PC

They run an environment seen horizon with desktops VDI running Windows 7 on a cluster of blades ESXi.

They would like to add a new cluster ESXi on which run Windows 7 virtual machines that are not part of the view of the Horizon / VDI, under the same instance of vCenter. These virtual machines is designed to test applications package for SCCM.

My understanding is that this is not allowed and they would need an instance separate vCenter to manage this cluster of ESXi and VMs. We have spare parts, Enterprise Plus licenses that could be classified in the new cluster ESXi, but I suspect that he could still not run the instance of vCenter "vCenter Server 6 Standard for Horizon".

Can someone clarify the on the issue? I was unable to find the official wording of VMware on what is / is not allowed.

Thank you.

Horizon suite comes with VMware Workstation, which can be used for packing.

This document seems to be official and can provide clarifications on the side of vSphere (not so much on the side of vCenter):

http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/products/horizon-view/VMware-horizon-view-pricing-Licensing-FAQ.PDF

In a virtual office environment Horizon, vSphere Desktop can be used to power the virtual desktop, as well as the underlying infrastructure for the VDI environment. Include the connection to the server, server security, active directory, tracking tools and other infrastructure directly related to and exclusive to the VDI environment. Storage servers, for example, would not be included.

  • Scenario of horizon view licenses

    End-user settled "on-the-job training" to show off their software to potential customers. Will be a maximum of 130 'students' to connect to the environment at a given time.

    Part the trickiest is - due to the software, they strive, each "pupil" should be connected to two desktops at the same time, but using the account from 13:00 (if possible).

    Does that mean they need to license for 260 concurrent connections, or are they OK with 130 simultaneous licenses to see?

    Given that VMware View is allowed on the "connected at the same time office" you need 260 licenses in this scenario.

  • Upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2 horizon view

    Hello

    I will update 6.0 seen Horizon to 6.2 in two weeks. I read the guide 6.2 upgrade and have my flattened upgrade plan, more or less.

    Now that I'm not sure of the East (this is the first time that I am ignorant version), is / was there of any changes from 6.0 to 6.1 which must be taken into consideration, but is not mentioned in the guide to 6.2 day?

    Also, I currently don't have implemented SSO implementation. How the look of the task would get SSO running? Think to implement SSO before the update... one thing at a time...

    High level of questions, I know. But I am happy to provide more details if it is necessary.

    Thank you

    The date of issue for Horizon view 6.0.1 6.0.2 6.1, 6.1.1 in detail what is included in this version.  The release notes for 6.2 will include shades or known issues related to the upgrade to this version.

    It does not appear that the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2 is supported.  Page 11 of the upgrade guide indicates that the 'latest version of VMware Horizon 6.0 (with view) maintenance, which is 6.0.2"is the supported platform that allows to upgrade.

    Also, when the upgrade of your Agent view, uninstall existing agent, restart and install the new agent of 6.2.

    Check the Product Interoperabiity matrix to ensure your versions of vSphere and vCenter are supported in point 6.2.  Also, do not forget to check your version of DB is supported in 6.2 (for the composer and DB events) here.

  • Horizon View Client does not work after upgrading to Chrome OS 45

    Is there a known issue with Chrome OS version 45?

    My client view Horizon worked without problems, but after upgrading to Chrome OS 45, the Horizon view app starts with a white screen which shows just the logo of the view of the Horizon in the middle. Nothing happens. I can't connect to a server or start a virtual machine, it is also not possible to do any configuration. I rebooted my Chromebook, uninstalled, and reinstalled the client Horizon view. Nothing helps...

    I'm working on a Pixel 2015 Chromebook. Google Chrome OS is:

    Version 45.0.2454.86 (64-bit)

    Platform 7262.52.0 (official version) stable-channel samus

    Firmware Google_Samus.6300.141.0

    Hi, the new Google Chrome OS (3.5) client is now available in the Chrome Web Store. It solves the problem of Chrome OS 45 and offers some new features.

    Thank you for your patience and your support!

  • Horizon view Agent 6.0.2 Windows 8.1 desktop - size setting display scale causes mouse which will be pasted in the top left corner

    Hello

    I am having some problems when I try to adjust the size to the scale option in the Virtual Office Windows 8.1 with view agent 6.0.2. When I try to change the scale via Control Panel -> display -> option to change the size of all the items ( view failover control settings is disabled by VMware KB: Settings tab is not available in the display panel of a Horizon view desktop locally when t...). After that, the mouse pointer gets suddenly blocked until the upper-left corner, and I'm unable to move the mouse pointer on this corner that the mouse pointer continues new jump in him. When I change the scale to the original (use the keyboard to change the setting), the behavior of mouse pointer returns to normal.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Found the solution by adding a registry entry:

    Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Teradici\PCoIP\pcoip_admin_defaults

    Name: pcoip.disable_cursor_jumping

    Type: REG_DWORD

    Data: 1

    After that it is defined on the parent image and recomposed (or reboot if you want to set this on a persistent desktop computer), there is no more mouse pointer jumps after changing the scale of the fonts/AC.

    This was indeed listed in KB here — not exactly the problem listed in the KB, but it is quite similar:

  • Horizon view auto connect to a pool

    Hello. I'm under view 5.3.2. I have users who have many pools (higher education). The evaluation criteria are physical work stations with an installed display client. Anyway is that when a user who is in the room and starts the client to view the physical office, (after their passage of authentication) will automatically be connected to a pool for this specific room. (e.g. room = Pool A).

    Remember that, by design, all students are entitled to all the pools. I can not change this requirement. With earlier versions of the client view I could have passed the customer settings. Can't do more with customer view 5.3.2. It seems that perhaps this can be accomplished through view GPO settings?

    Thank you

    Here is a link to the new customer documentation PDF.  Inside, it details the same switches...

    https://www.VMware.com/PDF/horizon-view/horizon-client-Windows-document.PDF

    All you need to do is change the properties of the shortcut and add the switch at the end of the target.  If your target should look like this...

    "C:\Program VMware Horizon view Client\vmware - view.exe"-desktopName "Nom_du_pool goes here.

    The quotes around the name of pool are required if there are spaces in the name of your pool.

    Add other switches if necessary.

  • 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:

  • Cannot get Horizon view 5.3.1 to use Windows CA certificate issued

    Hello

    I have a Horizon view 5.3 vConnection Server installed and wanted to replace the self-signed certificate with one of my MS Enterprise CA (Win 2008 R2 Ent).

    I followed the instructions of these two pages, I think exactly:

    Terence Luk: certification for VMware view Horizon 5.2 with Microsoft Enterprise certification authority servers http://terenceluk.blogspot.co.UK/2013/04/issuing-certificates-for-VMware-horizon.html

    http://www.derekseaman.com/2012/09/create-VMware-Windows-CA-certificate.html

    I took the steps:

    On my Win 2008 R2 Ent (standalone) CA, I reproduced the compatible under Windows 2003 CA Web server certificate template.

    Changed the use of the key to activate non-repudiation and "allow encryption of user data.

    Authentication of the Client added to enforcement strategies

    Confirmed that the name of the topic has been set to "provide in the request.

    Confirmed the vConnection Server computer account has the required permissions (btw, I even gave total control and the problem persists - is not a permissions problem)

    Added the new model to the list available to be issued (CA MMC > Certificate Templates > New > model certificate for the question)

    From the vConnection server, I open the MMC snap-in certificates, computer store

    I asked a new personal certificate from my CA and selected the newly created model

    I have completed only the FQDN internal of my server vConnection CN: [CN = "vmwv-vncenctn - 01.mydomain.local"]

    I updated the friendly name and description "vdm".

    I changed the friendly name of the empty self-signed certificate

    I restarted Windows vConnection server just to make sure that all the necessary services were restarted

    I cannot now connect to during a service of vConnection's web management interface - Page cannot be found.  If I have the friendly name of vdm revert to the original self signed certificate and restart services, access is restored.

    Please can someone help me with this.  I spent two days pulling my hair and getting nowhere.

    Thank you

  • Plugin horizon View Agent direct connection + disconnection after disconnection

    If I use the plug-in Horizon View Agent Direct-connection is there still a way to get the virtual machine for auto & with force logoff the current user after X minutes if the (in my case), lightweight client disconnects abruptly (off)?

    It is probably a virtual machine that is not handled by a server view connection? You should create/change the following registry setting power (this would be automatically updated if you were using a CS):

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware \VMware VDM\Node Manager\DisconnectLimitMinutes, Inc.

    The value-1 means immediately, a value of 0 means never. Positive values are the number of minutes to wait after the disconnection occurs.
