Not realistic Win7 with View Composer?

If View Composer creates clones based on a snapshot, but does not change the SID or (especially) the CMID.

KMS is the only practical solution in VDI for the linked clones license.

Without changing the CMID, KMS will not work.

http://blogs.technet.com/ASKCORE/archive/2009/10/16/KMS-host-client-count-not-increasing-due-to-duplicate-CMID-s.aspx

So, Win7 with linked clones will not be possible, or (if you use a clumsy method to change the CMID) supported by Microsoft.

Does anyone know if I jump thorugh the hoops to get the number of my KMS above 25 will be KMS activates the CMID even again and again?

Anyway to change View Composer sysprep to include / generalize?

Regarding the last comment, thin clients with VIEW4/PCoIP press

the HCL (including various thin clients HP) have generally been certified

hardware and software meeting required set out under VMWare

light client certification program.

With the exception of customers zero in the HCL (which already)

a native support of PCoIP via a TERA processor), we should be able to

install a client VIEW of any one and you connect via the PCoIP Protocol.

I hope that clarifies.

  • Problems with View Composer / vCenter 4

    Hello

    I upgraded my server vCenter v4 yesterday (build 162856) and ran into problems of performance and pages of material due to a collision with the port 8443 - that was used by the View Composer.

    Then... I moved my View Composer 18443 port number, that makes all the cunning vcenter work, but now does not work my composer. I changed the port in the overview Manager it connects to and I can get as far as the button complete, when I create a new pool configured automatically. vCenter then creates the folder for him and he removes (or almost) immediately. View Manager then up a ' composer of internal error. Contact your system administrator.

    In the newspapers, a Java error is reported: ' problem setting HTTP connection:

  • View Composer 4 Build 21930 - database is not found during installation on W2k3 32bits

    Hello!

    I'm trying VMware View.

    I try to install View Composer, but I always get error 'database was not found"when installing.

    vCenter is installed under Windows 2003 Standard SP2 32-bit and use MSSQL 2005 Express (installed by vCenter).

    The database was created in MSSQL, also created by the user.

    ODBC was created, and say that everything is ok.

    I search on google. Everything that I found speaks ODBC to a 64 bit OS.

    Thank you for your help.

    Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you are using a UserDSN not a SystemDSN.  View Composer requires a system DSN.  See if that helps.

  • View composer Wizard can not find the AD domain

    Hello

    I'm trying to configure VMware View Composer. I followed the installation guide, but I can not any further only the configuration of "Guest" customization of the Wizard (2nd to the last step!). There is a drop down menu where you select to add the linked clones to, but it is not filled with my domain name (or any other for that matter). Here is a screenshot:http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7R_jnLODiss/TSR4BhA5FGI/AAAAAAAAAuA/dQvhQxNAbOI/s800/VMware_Composer_Pool_023.gif

    This is the view 4.5 and ESXi 4.1. I have composer installed on my machine vCentre (standard Win 2008 64 bit VM) and the connection to the server in its own VM, also W2008 64 bit. The ad server is also a virtual machine and also W2008 64 bit. All servers are part of the domain and domain accounts work OK on each machine. The domain use the default schema (Windows 2003 Server) for AD. The guest for the virtual desktop OS is Win7 32 bit.

    I have been sent the Office a few virtual machines from the same model desktop VM that I used to create the VM base for the foregoing. Then I created these as static pools and they work OK. When I have them deployed since the template customization vCenter them to join the domain automatically without problem.

    I tried to cancel the wizard and leave in case it was a glitch, but no joy, same problem each time.

    Any suggestions gratefully received!

    TIA

    Jules.

    Can you check - part of the vCenter server server configuration?

    Looks like composer for your vCenter settings are misconfigured or not configured.

    When you configure them you must also make sure that the account used for operations of composer has enough privileges in AD (view 4.5 installation guide, p25).

  • Problem with certificate on View Composer

    Hello

    I'll try to explain my problem as well as possible.

    I upgraded my server from 5.2 to 6.2 view composer. And I would like to replace the default certificate with my own build by my internal CA (on our domain controller).

    I created a requet.inf found here: VMware KB: using Microsoft Certreq to generate signed SSL certificates in VMware View Horizon

    And replace the CN, OR O, etc. by my information. Here is the content:

    - request.inf-
    [Version]

    Signature = $Windows NT$

    [NewRequest]

    Subject = "CN =View_Server_FQDN, OR =Organizational_Unit_Name, O =OrganizationName, L =City_Name, S =State_Name, C =Country_Name"; ". replace the attributes of this line with the help of example below
    KeySpec = 1
    KeyLength = 2048
    ; Can be 2048, 4096, 8192, or 16384.
    ; Larger key sizes are more secure, but have
    ; a greater impact on performance.
    Exportable = TRUE
    FriendlyName = vdm
    MachineKeySet = TRUE
    SMIME = False
    PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE
    UserProtected = FALSE
    UseExistingKeySet = FALSE
    ProviderName = Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider
    ProviderType = 12
    RequestType = PKCS10
    KeyUsage = 0xa0

    [EnhancedKeyUsageExtension]

    OID=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 ; This is for server authentication

    [RequestAttributes]

    ; SAN = dns =FQDN_you_require& dns =other_FQDN_you_require

    ;-----------------------------------------------


    After I generated the CSR with the following command: certreq-new request.inf certreq.txt


    After that I generated the certificate with our CA in DER64.


    In the MMC on the composer of server I import the certificate. Always go to the right.


    And the last thing is to replace the default certificate with the IVR command: SviConfig ReplaceCertificate


    It's done. I restart the composer server go to the dashboard to see the flag. But I got a redflag about the composer with the following message: the server certificate does not match the url


    I searched this message on Google and the error appear to be in the "NC", I checked the synthax and the name of the server (FQDN) are correctly write. I also see that we can use SAN (alternative name of the object).


    But I still got the same error.



    Anyone has an idea about this?


    Best regards

    Excuses that became automatic registered please ignore previous comment. Good now back instead on certificates of composer does not work as expected. Please share the result at the bottom of the step

    If you use the utility replace sviconfig from there to return to default certificates the certificate error disappears?

    I am currently deployment of VMWare view for the first time in a test environment and have hit a problem I have not been able to get around despite several searches on google and trial and error.

    Hoping that someone here could suggest something.

    View the VMWare versions are all 6.0.1.

    vCenter is on a device.

    VMWare view connection manager is on a 2012 R2 VM server.

    VMWare view dial is on a separate server 2012 R2 VM.

    I have a 2012 SQL on a separate server 2012 R2 VM Server installation.

    SQL databases have been set up for the composer to be able to reach it, it uses ODBC 64-bit via SQL Server Native Client 11.0.

    I tried troubleshooting by exchanging 32-bit, but this is not connected, it seems so 64 bit is correct.

    I have a windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition VM under my Golden image. There are VMWare tools on it and the VMWare agent on it.

    The virtual ipconfig/release performed top machine, he was then stop and a snapshot taken as my source.

    The problem is that when I go to deploy a pool of offices, I get the above error.

    If I connect to the VM created via vCenter readers persistent and temporary show very well.

    Based on the error, I tried different settings such as change the path for the reader of DVD VMs of D: to Z:, spread unique persistence and the temporary disks on multiple data-stores or data stores and even remove the drive of DVD of VMs completely. I have also looked at newspapers under composer view but find nothing to explain the behavior.

    SQL Server seems to work for configuration through the error logs and virtual machines are created and added to AD as expected.

    I must point out that the virtual machines are as linked clones.

    Can anyone offer a clue as to the cause or something, I can check it please, did everything I can think and Googling the error does not come to the top with something useful so far.

    Thank you

  • Getting RDP not with view 4 PCoIP

    I installed the 4 Agent seen in a XP SP3, fully updated windows update, VM with VDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent = 0 specified since I'm not (yet) using vCenter View 4 with PCoIP selected server installation option. Login v4 Server also provide a W2K3 x 86 VM and created an individual office with this XP VM with PCoIP set as the default protocol. All virtual machines hosted on ESX 4u1.

    When I connect, as a non-domain administrator user, I get a MOP, not PCoIP, connection, such as confirmed by the connection to the server "Active Sessions" and a qwinsta in the session of the view. It is with the View 4 client (without offline) installed on a Vista SP2 x 86 machine.

    I don't see anything obviously wrong in the newspapers on the client.

    Anyone got any ideas how I can get PCoIP going or it is not unless you use vCenter, although I don't quite see why that would be?

    Post edited by: guyrleech

    Previously, I was connecting via IE8 so I just tried with the customer directly, sure I select PCoIP such as the Protocol, and now is shows the link as "wdcon" when I run qwinsta while when I was getting RDP he says "rdpwd" and said: I'm on the console, not a winstation rdp.

    The connection to the server is also now show me as having a PCoIP connection so that it looks similar to this might be a limitation of the entrance via a browser rather than directly by the customer.

    The planning of Architecture Guide States the following on the view with PCoIP:

    PCoIP has the following limitations:

    • You cannot use the virtual printing with PCoIP functionality.

    • Cards using smart only is not supported if you use PCoIP.

    • Users who have access to their virtual desktops with portal view cannot use PCoIP.

    View = view Web Portal Portal to access virtual desktops.

  • Reconstructed View Composer databases, view server connection problems

    I had to go back to a previous snapshot on my SQL database server that was right before I installed the database to View Composer.  Mode to connect to the server, there is a pool for the related clones.  How can I remove the pool?  When I try to delete it, I get an error that I do not remember the hand, but basically it has to do with the fact that see connection to the server could not find the swimming pool in the database.  Any ideas?

    You would need to connect via ADSI Edit.    Check out this KB for instructions on how to remove obsolete work and clones, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008658positions.   This should give you an idea on how to connect to the ADAM database and navigate.

  • No server found view composer

    I think that the solution to the problem can be simple, but I'm not find clue in the documentation I see.

    I'll put up a view view environment 4.5. I have a vCenter server, SQL Server on the same environment as View Composer and Connection manager. There are no firewall in the environment or enabled on the operating system of these machines. The View Composer and the connection manager are on the same VM.

    Problem: When I try to add the vcenter Server, it throws the following error "no composer view server Found. Either a bad port has been entered or a network connection error occurred", as shown in figure below.

    My research in VMTN and Internet, has pointed out to me that the problem may be with configurations of network or administrator rights, but as mentioned before all these machines are on the same VLAN and there is no firewall. Also I use a single user from the administrator of domain for all these machines., (this is a laboratory environment, this is why we can afford to do).

    Your suggestions are very appreciated.

    Thank you.
