  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.

  View VMware point of view I don't think it would affect it.  All you have to do is to enter a valid license key and your then on the system of honor as well as concurrent users.  You can easily enter your premier license key to activate the related clones and workstations for the environment all offline.  You will need to put in place so that no business option has access to the linked clone pools, thinapp or jobs in offline mode.

• VMware View and MS Windows 7 License Manager

  I'm looking to install VMware View and use Windows 7 Ent or

  Pro as the guest operating system.

  What are the Microsoft Licensing options?

  Is the use of a server KMS, the best solution, or should I just

  use a key in the specification of customization, as I did with Windows XP?

  If you have a deployment of medium to high, I suggest to use a KMS server to validate the license. If you enter your MAK license and deploy several pools or in the pool even over and over again. each time Windows will activate using a new MAK license until they are all exhausted.

  I just went through an installation of KMS server, and I have to say was one of install it more simple I've ever done.

• Can VMware View - I connect with Microsoft RDP?

  Hello world

  Can I connect via the Microsoft's RDP client Vmware View environment? No view, just Microsoft RDP client. I have a thin client model and just support Microsoft RDP Protocol. I want to connect environment seen through this customer.

  Thank you.

  Grosbois

  You MUST have a client of VMware view. Then you can connect through it to view desktop using PCoIP or RDP Protocol.

  You will be able to connect to the desktop using RDP display if your thin client is located in the same subnet (and if RDP is enabled on the desktop to view server and you know its ip address) but would not use vmware view (if you want to connect directly to your desktop from RDP Why would you need to notice), which would also directly access to a machine as you access all the other Windows VM.

  And its always advisable to disable direct RDP on view desktops.

• VMware View Enterprise 5 licenses

  Hi all

  I tried to search around the forum, but I have not found any answer...

  We plan to make a View 5 infrastructure with a host on which will run 40 MV and a vCenter server. This infrastructure will be used for a COMPUTER lab in a school and a few machines for teachers.

  We purchase these licenses:

  -1 x academic VMware View 5 Enterprise Bundle: Starter Kit (with x 1 basic support/subscription year)

  -3 x academic VMware View 5 Enterprise Bundle: package of 10 (with the Support/Basic membership x 1 yr)

  If I understand correctly, the VMware licensing is by Sockets, so if I buy a license, I can make a host that is equipped with a plug (and the number of cores). In this case, with the additional licenses for 40 VMS, would I think make a host with more than an outlet? In this case, Sockets how could I implement?

  Thanks in advance

  Cristian

  Hi Christian.

  There isn't "vSphere for desktop" included 40 desktop with these licenses.

  This means that you can run ESX hosts as much as you want and use all sockets in these hosts to your workstations.

  'vSphere for desktop PC' is equivalentto "vSphere Enterpris more ', but the difference is that you are allowed to run the operating systems of office and servers supported on hosts the necessary permits.

  The downside with the help of the 'Business' license, is that you will not be able to use linked clones, offline mode, etc.. For these features, you need the "Prime Minister" license.

• VMware View Client Logo/skin

  We did it with other products before, but curious if we can change the skin of the Horizon of VMware View Client to something more exclusive to our society, such as our logo or by putting the name of the company in there.  We would also like to do on the Clients of zero if possible Teradici.

  Anyone done this?  I watched the local folder 'skins' under the program VMware View\Client, but these are the old skins (don't know why they are still there).

  Thanks in advance.

  I don't know if you should still do this, but I was able to achieve earlier on the VMware View client.  I discovered this by accident when I 'played '.  Within the facility there is a dll called wswc_en_us_409, it is in C:\Program VMware View\Client\bin.  You will need an application that will be able to open the dll, I think I used Microsoft Visual Studio.  In there is a bitmap (I think it's a bitmap) of the VMware View logo that appears on the client from the view.  If you create a bitmap with the same size, you should be able to replace it.  It worked on older versions of view, I do not know if it works on the latest version.

  To do this on customers of zero Teradici much easier.  In the profile on the management console, there is a parameter named profile OSD Logo which will allow you to upload an image.  You will need to set the OSD Logo to use for setting banner Login to true.

• View Licenses

  So I have a bunch of different license codes to enter.  I put them in the administrator of the display, but I don't "see nothing change, it seems it took them, but I'd like to see a count of licenses that I own.  Anyone know how I can check this?

  -Gunnar

  You are right. We do not apply the limit of license as a strict limit in sight. The permission is applied by the EULA.

  I just find this external article that is actually fairly descriptive view license:

• You are looking for advice or suggestions: Vmware View 4 lab on workstation 7.

  Hi guys,.

  I want to build a new laboratory virtualized on a new desktop that I ordered.  I especially want to us to do tests and the growth of knowledge on Vmware View.  I have a desktop HP on order with an i7-930 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  I also have a 7 of my cert VCP 4 Workstation license.

  I already know how build a virtualized ESX environment and allow the MV nested within this environment.  My lesson plans are to build two ESX 4 virtual machines, a VM vCenter, a virtual shared storage as a storage device and a server VMware View connection.   I think there should be enough resources on this box to have a work environment (although maybe slow).  I plan only to have two virtual desktops (XP).  I don't need virtual machines to do something more than it is, run and be able to communicate with them with PCoIP XP.

  I was hoping someone else might have already tried this and had no additional details.  If this isn't the case, I'd love to hear any suggestions.  I intend to document this lab and I'll be happy to share this document with everyone when I'm done...

  Best regards

  Rick

  I have implemented this on a laptop several times. Laptops have 8 GB of memory and it was barely enough to make it usable. ; Your 16 GB of system memory and faster CPU will give you much more room to breathe

  Tip: I cut about 20% of the CPU usage on the ESX host nested running under Workstation 7 on Dell D830 computers laptops with processors T7250 in manually choosing the type of VT for ESX hosts nested rather than leave the setting at the default of Automatic.

  Also, if it is not necessary to VMotion, you could get a super-quick card Flash or SSD and point that flash all the temp, swap files and VSWP files. SSD. Someone has recently published an article on the difference in speed - Google and you will see what kind of speed increase you could get out your configuration if you are willing to spend that kind of money for quick storage.

• VMware View may be a good alternative for the Terminal Services?

  Hello people,

  We run the Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003 Ent. in a cluster environment. We have 4 TS who handle the load. Now, we are faced with a high volume of users within the company. We have a main office (Headquarters) and 10 more ease, all linking to the seat through the DRC. We are trying to find a better solution to deal with the high volume in a better way and we have VMware View.

  Do you think that is a good alternative?

  Any input, advice is really enjoying it.

  Thank you.

  I think that Desktop Virtualization (side Datacenter) and Terminal Server virtualization (Citrix or TS/RDP) pro and cons.

  You must deliver multiple environments or move the entire desktop to datacenter? Desktop virtualization could be better.

  You must provide a single application (or a few)? TS or some sort of virtualization to applications (such as ThinApp) solution could be better.

  Check out what you really need and how to access these services.

  Also consider licensing and where you can save costs.

• 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).

• 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 customers logout - log for debugging PCoIP shows "sessionDisconnectTimer: set the timer to 2147480 seconds.

  I have operators who are still on my desktop 24/7/365.  Assuming that there are no other problems, they get kicked out of their sessions from view after about 24 days.  We use Thin Clients HP running ThinOS and VMware View Client.  When I check the log for debugging on the Windows 7 VM, I see that when the connection is established, he wrote the following line:

  2014-09-09 08:44:30, 807 DEBUG < MessageFrameWorkDispatch > [wsnm_desktop] sessionDisconnectTimer: set the timer to 2147480 seconds

  After the expiration of the time limit, I get the following messages in the same newspaper and the client disconnects:

  Where it becomes this timer of?  The global setting on the display server is maxed at 9 999 999 minutes.

  The host is EXSi 5.0.0

  VMware View Server is 5.0.0 - 481677

  See Agent 5.0.1

  Operating system is Windows 7 Pro running on the virtual version 7 machine

  It is a known problem that has been fixed in 5.3.2 view - the global time-out in minutes is converted to a time in milliseconds, which then overflows a 32-bit counter. See Overview of VMware View Release Notes

  A desktop session is timeout and be disconnected after about 24 days, 20 hours and 31 minutes, even if the Session time-out setting has been set to a higher value.
