• New installation of VMWare View questions.

  Hello

  I'm testing VMWare View to see if it will suit our Organization.  I'm following the documentation and I get an error message.

  Currently, I have 2 guests.

  Host A - will be jobs

  Host B - servers.

  I created a Windows 2008 R2 server on host B.

  I created a Windows OR VMWareView

  2 groups VmViewAdmins & VmViewUsers

  I'm using the domain administrator to install and configure

  Host B

  -Installed and configured SQL Server 2008 R2

  -Installed views Comjposer

  -Installed view connection

  I go to view connection and try to add a server Vcentre.  I get to the end and when I click on finished I get the error "unable to connect. Check the settings and confirm the status of server and network. »

  I can't go there. Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  The connection broker is the view connection server.      vCenter is a required element of view please make sure that it is installed too.

• 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.

• VMware View Security Server DMZ

  Hello!

  We are currently developing a small installation of VMware View in our office as a CEP and I have a question about the server security and the need for the ports against customers.

  Our facility:

  (Active Directory and RADIUS) 2-factor authentication

  Front End FW

  Security on the DMZ server

  Backend FW

  Connection to the server

  The question I have is:

  4172TCP/UDP port 3389 be open from the Security server to customers?

  Is there no way of this tunnel since the Security server through the connection to the server on the inside?

  Thank you

  Kenth

  Hej Kenta.

  You are right, there is currently no way to tunnel on the dry-server and the connection broker using PCoIP, you can only create a tunnel through one.

  So that means you need to open TCP/UDP 4172 between dry-server and desktop computers-view.

• Deleting events in VMware View administrator

  Hello

  How can I remove events in the administrator of the display (here I have the version 4.6)?

  Due to a configuration problem now I have the same error over 3,000 events, and I'd be happy if I can delete them.

  Kind regards

  André

  You might be able to delete directly from SQL, using the events and event_data tables in the case of database.   I found th informaton below on page 10 of the guide to integration of VMware View.  I want to backup my database of events before performing any manipulation.

  VMware View provides details on all tables of database events. After a certain period of time elapsed

  Since writing to event record, VMware View deletes the record of the event, and event_data tables. You can

  Administrator display allows you to configure the period for which the database maintains a register to the event and

  tables of event_data. See the

• Installation of the SDK to allow VMWare View to connect to VC - how?

  Hello

  I installed the server VMWare View connection, but when I try to add my VC, I get a connection error. I checked the firewall ports and traffic becomes to my VC so I don't think that's the problem. I checked the event log on the server VMWare View connection and try to connect to http:// < virtualcenter >: < port > /SDK

  I guess this way tells me that I need to install the SDK. I downloaded it, but the installation instructions are not clear, and I find nothing in the installation guide for VMWare View to help me.

  Can someone advise or give me a detailed guide on what do I do?

  There is nothing to install. The URL... / sdk will give a 404 error, it is not used as-is. For example, I've seen configured to point to the VC:

  Server address: vc.mpryor.int

  User name: administrator

  Password: *.

  Connect using SSL: true

  This will save the URL https://vc.mpryor.int:443 / sdk in ADAM and use it. Navigation it will give me a 404 error, but I assure you that I'm using without problem.  You must have a network issue - check firewall, proxy server (for the machine, not your user account) and DNS.

• VMware View and vSphere/ESX4

  I never tested with VMware View in any installation ESX so please forgive my ignorance on the subject.

  What I've read, I know that VMware View is not currently supported under vSphere but it should be later in the year.

  My question is: is it possible to run VMware View in vSphere/ESX4 and y at - it not crash you have experienced? I have a few clients who want to start a project with the product, but I'm tired to sell it to them without knowing if it is possible to run in vSphere or not.

  As I understand it, VMware View is just a series of virtual machines (View Manager for the management) and several other virtual machines for delivery of operating system invited to end users, so I think its possible to run, just not supported.

  Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply.

  Exactly how desktop computers are delivered to the end user? They give you a connection with the VI Client to vCenter and displays the available machines, they control?

  Display Client, Thin Client or View Portal (browser). Basically, we use RDP as the main Protocol for now (PCoverIP is the slate and many talked of the future Protocol). In simple terms, us tie in with the AD. The user connects by using one of the methods mentioned. The broker for connections check the user/pass, see what desktop computers - if any - they have right to and presents this list to the user. The user selects and then, if the SSO is enabled, records in their office environment. They have several desktop computers and screens (up to 4) if necessary.

  When the view is supported for vSphere and released, you know / think it will be difficult to migrate from individual offices shared through the clones related, or computers is - same not possible?

  God I hope not. For now, I have no idea, but I imagine they would create some sort of upgrade. View Manager is nothing else than a web application.

  I'm sure I think other issues later, but I can review the product documentation to answer most of them. I wanted to just grab a little better quickly because I have an appointment in an hour or two with a client

  Documentation has made a huge difference and give you a better idea of how this works.

• How to fix VMware View Server certificate revocation check connection error?

  Dear community,

  For about 2 weeks, I feel a revocation of the certificate check error in our environment Horizon see 6.2. The strange thing is that, within 12 hours about two (replication) connection servers and the vCenter Server / server of composer (on the same machine) are considered as having invalid certificates, even if, in fact, they are valid (CA certificates). We use no security servers.

  The view admin console shows the following for servers connection:

  The server certificate is not approved.

  The server certificate cannot be verified.

  For the vCenter, he said (that I have validated manually the certificate):

  No problems found.

  Certificate is not approved, but the thumbprint of the certificate is accepted.

  With the connection series on 'full', States that the login server logs for the vCenter server:

  TRACE (B 17-0 - 0E98) < VCHealthUpdate > [NativeKeyVault] validateCertificateChain response: {result = FAIL, EndEntityReasons = cantCheckRevoked, ChainReasons = invalid, SelfSigned = false, EndErrorCode = 16777280, EndInfoCode = 258, ChainErrorCode = 16777280, ChainInfoCode = 256, PolicyErrorCode =-2146885613}

  As far as I can see there no similar entries for login server certificates in the newspaper.

  At the moment I am under the environment with composer and vCenter certificates manually valid and invalid connection (red) server certificates (as view clients and browsers are not disabled).

  I already checked that I am able to do everything 'green' again via setting the registry key 'CertificateRevocationCheckType'2 (as described here Configure the server certificates certificate revocation check). This brings me to the conclusion that one of the intermediate certificates cannot be validated. So, I had the information a "version" of an intermediate (intermediate certification authority) certificate has been revoked. There seems to be no coincidence - like the time point is as well, but this particular version does not appear to be used in the servers of my connection.

  However, even with full logging enabled, I can't information which (intermediate) certificate cannot be validated and why. I expected to see something like 'OCSP verification' or 'check the CRL' but I can't find it in the newspapers. However, I noticed that one of the intermediate certificates lacked the OCSP URL (even if the field "Authority Information Access" existed). Of course I updated the certificate with a version that contains the OCSP URL, but it has not changed anything.

  In addition, I checked manually all of the certificates in the chain with openssl (for OCSP) and CRLs as well, but everything seems to be OK (all URLS are accessible and no opportunity of certificate has been revoked). Actually, I do not interpret the error as "that the connection to the server is an invalid certificate because it has been revoked", but "it cannot check if it has been revoked. The servers do not need a proxy and nothing configured, so (I checked the proxy settings system context, also).

  For now, the problem is not critical, such as 'red' status connection server has no effect on our customers and so I could turn off certificate revocation check (or switch to check that the certificate of the server (2)). But of course, I would really solve the problem.

  Is there someone who can give me a hint on what to check, for example, how do I know which certificate cannot be controlled and why? Someone had the same or a similar problem? Support VMware is working on the problem as well, but they seem don't know is not the problem, either.

  I appreciate the thoughts and responses! Thank you!

  Best regards

  Dear community,

  During this time, I was able to correct the error described at the beginning of this thread. Jump to the end to see what could probably help you...

  1. At first, I installed an additional standalone VMware View Server connection in order to check the following related certificates:
     1. VMware support always told me to renew my certificates because they "were not valid" etc. - even if in fact they were (like external URL calls and attested manual verification and tests).
     2. That's why I created new additional certificates for the login server and configured to include the vCenter even as my production environment - only difference was I didn't inlcude the composer who runs the server vCenter himself.
     3. The result was that the server was "green" including both the vCenter Server certificate which could be 'not reliable' by the environment of production - strange, huh?
  2. After I reset the additional server to a turned wink where connection to the server was not yet installed (before that, I uninstalled the connection to the server in case there is information in vCenter thereon) and reinstalled as a replica of the production environment server. Somehow I expected this, but still quite strange the vCenter Server (and composer) now again was considered "invalid", even if the certificate of the server connection itself considered still valid and green. For test purposes, so I put certifice revocation checking on '2' (only one server certificate check) - but only on the 'old' production servers' and 'magical' everything has been considered valid. So as I see it, there seems to be some sort of information stored on the 'old' connection servers that makes them believe that invalid certificates and that the information is replicated on the third server unless I lower the revocation of the certificate controls on these servers. Altervative explanation could be that VMware View does not accept certificates with aliases that do not include the 'real' server name - that is / was in fact certificates the old servers connection. The new server certificate connection included the real name and the alias. I understand if this is the case, but then I expect that it be documented somewhere (I have not found this information) and also wouldn't understand why it worked without problem for several years before.
  3. After finding that out, I created new certificates for the 'old' connection servers, including aliases and real names and replaced the certificate on one of the servers (and restarted the login server) - only a few successfully. Once I put the revocation checking on '4' again on this server, the login server certificate was still considered valid, but not the vCenter and certificate of composer.
  4. Now, I've uninstalled the old login server (removed from the view) and reinstalled completely (including an update of the 2008 R2 2012 R2 OS) and after I have it reintegrated into the environment, everything remained green - as long I have will activate revocation checking on the second login server "old." This is why I did the same with this (completely reinstalled and reinstated it) and now everything is green with the revocation checking enabled on all replicas of server connection.
  5. The next step I uninstall the additional replica because I created only for troubleshooting purposes.

  So what will no doubt help in similar cases:

  • Reinstall the servers of connection one by one, including:
  • Uninstalling html access (if used), uninstall the login server to view, uninstall 'VMware' AD LDS Instance.
  • Removal of the connection to the server of replication group: run "s - r s uninstalled_ vdmadmin.exeservername" on one of the servers connection remaining.
  • Reinstall/Update OS (may not be necessary, but I did not test that)
  • Reininstall, return to the login server replica. If you used the certificates which included only the alias of the server I recommend you to create new ones, including the name of the server as well, but maybe it's not necessary as well. If you want to keep the certificates which only inlcude the alias it will be necessary to install this certificate after the first replication of the servers (see below).

  My question for technicians of VMware/developers: It is supported to use certificates include only the server alias. Otherwise why it worked before and where is it documented? Where are certificate cached information so that simply replace the certificate was only some, and not a complete success (see above). FYI - when I paired initially replicas that I had to install the CA (including only the pseudonym) after the first replication - now with certificates (including the server name and the alias), I could install the certificate before you replicate (= the login server installation).

• Names of certificate VMware View 6.1

  Hello world!

  I intend to install vmware view 6.1 with two connection on the LAN Server and security server on the DMZ.

  I wonder what names I need on the certificate?

  my login server names will be VDI1. MyDomain.Local, VDI2. MyDomain.Local

  my security server will be VDI3 (not domain joined server)

  my file on my public DNS is seen. Mydomain.com that guide to the Security server.

  I have internal CA server that can issue the certificate for VDI1. MyDomain.Local and VDI2. MyDomain.Local.

  I have a wildcard certificate for *. Mydomain.com (it does not contain one of my internal server names)

  
  

  1. can I use my wildcard certificate to connect to security without needing a server error?

  
  

  2. where should I install the generic cert? on the Security Server and all servers connection?

  
  

  3. what happens if I want to connect to internal network VDI do I have to install my certificate of internal CA with the internal names to my connection servers?

  
  

  4. because my login server will be connected both internal external, it uses internal cert (VDI1/2.MyCompany.local) for internal connection and external cert (*.) Mydomain.com) for external connection?

  
  

  
  

  Thank you.

  
  

  Taylor.

  I do not recommend to use a certificate with wildcards on connection servers.

  Instead, you can issue a certificate for each connection to the server: VDI1. MyDomain.Local and VDI2. MyDomain.Local

  In this way, the connection will be reliable when connection from inside.

  On the internet you connect on the server for security only, so you only need a trusted certificate installed on the Security server.

  If you issue a certificate from your CA, it will work but the clients that connect from the internet will not approve this certificate.

  If you want a certificate approved by anyone connecting from the internet, you must purchase a certificate of a CA like verisign etc.

  In both cases, the certificate must be issued with name: see . Mydomain.com and installed on the server for security only.

  Hope this helps

  Kind regards

• 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.

  I am new to VMware and I want to use a feature. A physical machine, I connect to a virtual with VMware View Client skyline. I want to map (or redirect, or another alternative definition), a physical USB of my physical PC into virtual.

  How can I handle this?

  Thank you

  those install newspapers look to be on the client machine, rather than agent - so that they don't help us here.

  the problem is clearly that the part is not happy - you reason with the log lines, that you highlight. and, since the Device Manager, it looks like it is unhappy with several of the 'virtual' pilots he tried to install it.

  Was it a win7 'clean' installation of comments, on which you have installed the Agent discovered - or he previously had an agent installed that you upgrade?

  the problem is certainly part, and you should not see the triangles of signs in Device Manager. Maybe you can try to remove the agent and re install.

• VMware View Agent 5.2.0 PCoIP over WAN fails

  Recently, I did an upgrade on VMware View VMware view horizon 5.2 4.6 square.

  After the upgrade the 4.6.0 view agent in virtual machines of my parents to view agent 5.2.0 and rebuild the office pools, external PCoIP does not work. Can I open a session in the 5.2 Client view, see the list of office pools, select a pool, the desk at work close and try to open remotely. After 1 second, this error appears:

  Error: Overview of VMware View Client: The connection to the remote computer has ended.

  What does not work:

  • External/WAN via PCoIP for workstations with the view Agent 5.2.0

  What does not work:

  • Internal/LAN via PCoIP for workstations with the view Agent 5.2.0
  • Internal/LAN via RDP for workstations with the view Agent 5.2.0
  • External/WAN via RDP for workstations with the view Agent 5.2.0
  • External/WAN via PCoIP for workstations with the Agent View 5.1.3 or lower (tested up to 4.6.0 Agent view)

  I even tried to build a new pool of desktop Windows 7 in a new OU in the active without optimizations VDI directory or group policy. I tried with and without the firewall Windows is activated. In any case, this new office pool works externally via any Agent from view but the view Agent 5.2.0.

  Is it the 5.2.0 Agent view have the same firewall/port that the Agent View 5.1.3 requirements? What else can I test or try to get external PCoIP for desktop computers to work with the view Agent 5.2.0?

  Finally, we discovered the problem / solution. We on a security apparatus of Palo Alto Networks that blocked traffic PCoIP 5.2.0 but not PCoIP 5.1.3 traffic.

  According to a backline Vmware engineer:

  "A change was made to the ephemeral TLS connection that is used to establish trust and to negotiate parameters for subsequent UDP traffic network. This change allows the customer to use their own certificate for TLS server for this connection. For more details of what happens during the installation of PCoIP, and how this changed view 5.2, see KB 1038762. »

  It seems that Palo Alto Networks did not like this change. When we removed our Palo Alto of WAN device, PCoIP 5.2.0 connections could be created. We finally had create a rule to allow the category: private-ip-addresses and URL: pcoip - by default-sni. Once this change has been made, connections WAN PCoIP 5.2.0 started working.

  Your image of parent intervenes using a KMS or MAK?  The best answer is to use KMS activation.

  You can also try to issue a /rearm slmgr.vbs at the first boot of the image.  You can only run 3 times, so do not run on the base image, only the related clones.
