• Problem with the floating linked clones and Persona

  Hello

  We run a build view Horizon 6.2.0 - 3005368.

  Just improved our VMware environment to 6.2 and installing an APEX 2800 PCoIP card on our guests.

  I had a pool of office dedicated clone bound for users.

  Now, I made a new image of master and made a new Automated Desktop Pool pool who are floating clone related.

  With the dedicated bound vmis, we place disc profiles of users etc are located.

  With the new pool, I'll use Persona. I followed this guide - http://terenceluk.blogspot.no/2012/10/configuring-roaming-profiles-with.html?showComment=1445933020356 and it works very well indeed, almost.

  For users of a trial, I can see that if something I save it to the desktop, it will be saved on the server of file \\fileserver\redirected$\%username%\Desktop

  When I use my user and try to even something on the desktop - it c:\%username%\Desktop

  I tried to reset, remove my user etc., but it's not. All the settings I made in the GPO - Computer Configuration-> administration-> classic administrative templates (ADM) models-> Configuration of the VMware View Agent-> Persona

  Management-> Folder Redirection

  But my users settings are only "local".

  How is it?

  This can be caused by an incorrect action or NTFS permissions on the redirection of folder/persona.

  She is also due if your user account has a profile on the parent whose linked clone desktops are created.

• Linked Clones and snapshots - which can be removed and when?

  Hello

  Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm new to the linked clones.

  I was able to create clones related win2k8r2 invited.  Everything seems to work ok.  However, once a linked clone is created, is it still necessary to keep the parent snapshot?  That is to say, snapshot of the parent is necessary after related cloning?

  My env:

  VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-433742

  VMware vSphere PowerCLI 4.1 build 332441 U1

  Thank you

  T

  It must be remembered that a clone is based on the parent machine and a snapshot that you see in the server view.  Multiple snapshots can be consolidated or "rolled up", but depends on the clone.  The parent can put off when the do not need to save on resources in your environment, because that's what the replica is for.  I do not agree with Andre and suggest that you keep the snapshot that you clones are configured to use, with the exception on the consolidation of old clichés.

• linked clones and their video card settings

  So I notice when connecting to my linked clones w / the customer discovers that moving an application from one monitor to the other window rows.  My first thought was to increase the memory under the parameters of the virtual machine to 128 and check the 3D support (for smile).  However, it seems that my settings are saved and then automatically indented the previous value in the window recent tasks of the vsphere client.  I thought maybe it was because my parents VM had settings before taking the s so I stopped, changed the settings and then made a new test pool.  No dice.  What gives, and how do I then increase video performance if I'm not allowed to change the settings on the parent VM or the clones themselves?  Thank you!

• View 5 POC, Windows 7 Enterprise, linked Clones and VMXNET3

  I spin a CEP for Views5 and experiencing major issues with the VMXNET3 device when configuring desktop using linked Clones. About half of the configured computers have errors NIC with the fact that he is unable to see the network.

  Has anyone else had similar problems?

  Apply the fix mentioned in: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/view-50-administration.pdf

  This will fix the problem as it did for me.

• Linked Clones and SCSI controller

  I created an automated linked clone pool that points to a virtual machine Windows XP parent. I used the parallel LSI Logic Controller and the value of the SCSI disk (0:0). The problem is, after the pool is created, when the user connects, they invited to a username and password with this message "you must be member of the Administrators group on this computer to install this equipment. SCSI controller.

  I don't do our domain users members of the local Administrators group, so this creates a big problem.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Please perform following steps.

  -----------------------------------------

  • Create a new virtual machine with custom SCSI controller. (Keep floppy drive configuration)
  • Extract the downloaded driver symmpi_wXP_1201800.zip (version 1.28.03)
  • The driver disk image can be by editing the VM, floppy.
  • Start the installation of Windows XP, press F6 when request and then point to the driver on the floppy drive
  • Continue and finish the installation.
  • Now to use this virtual machine as a VM parent, and it should solve your problem

• Windows, clones and persona management saved credentials

  Hi all

  We have an infrastructure of clone of work with Persona management put in place. Everything works very well only our users complain that their windows credentials are not saved to a network share that they use, what is actually the case: once you change the clones, even though you checked to remind the credentials box, your windows password safe is empty and the credentials must be entered again to access the remote share.

  I looked around, I found this KB:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2052573

  As I understand it, touring credentials is not supported, and this can be done. Which, I guess, sort of logic.

  However, I came across this post on the forum:

  Finds support in the management of Persona to CryptProtectData

  Where is the original says that "View Persona Manager does support the Windows API data protection.' poster.

  I'm confused here: is it possible to wander the credentials for network shares or not? If so, how this reach you? If not, is it final or is it planned to get this working?

  Thanks for your comments,

  Marc

  For everyone wondering the same thing and do not find an answer, upgrading the client to view the clones to 6.0.1 fixed the problem.

• View of VM, linked Clones and Thinapp to a group of users?

  In our configuration of the display, I have a pool of 80 people, some users have asked MS Visio.

  I created a package of visio and wanted to deploy to a group of users, but I can only assign to a pool.

  Is it possible so I can assign MS Visio only to a certain (AD) Group of people without having to create an additional pool?

  For another application, I use the security feature in the application thinapped, which do not allow users to start the program and again reports an error message. It does not work with visio propperly: a user with visio can open files visio very well with the editor, a user without visio should get the (internet Explorer) visio Viewer, but the application is launched instead (which restores the safety message and the user cannot view the visio file).

  In theory if you added it to a pool only people within the security group would be able to access.   You can also use a login script register which means that it could only be saved for those who can visit his profile.    See the link below for example sript login.

• Linked clones and several subnets / VLAN

  Hey all,.

  In an environment with thousands of VMS, there at - it a better practical method to deal with the fact that some of the clones will be on different subnets or VLANS?

  For example, imagine 500 clients need to be on a separate network other clones.

  • Creation of another master VM model would cause more costs general administrative (maintenance of multiple masters)
  • Manually move the special 500 VMS to their own network would be ok, but it would be lost during a refresh/rebuild because the master is always on the main network.

  From what I've read so far, the best thing to do is a powershell script to change the special virtual machine VIRTUAL LAN after each refresh/redial.

  I wanted to ask you, if there was a best practice for this problem in large environments.

  Thank you
  Drew

  I think that it is an area where the view really fails and should probably be a feature request for future versions.   I didn't know the established practice of the best, but I would probably lean towards the powershell script to make the changes as the easiest to maintain and operate.

• free vsphere 4.1 and material management

  Hello

  is it possible to have alerts sent by email in the event of hardware failure with the free version?

  I installed the node openmanage (dell server) and it works fine but I can't specify the alerts on the version of node.

  I also installed esx - health.pl on my vma, but I do not have the alerts in real-time.

  and second question, if there is no way to receive alerts on the free version, they are available on the vcenter for application essentials?

  You can use wizard to collect alarm of Dell devices.

  The file is called Management Station.

• Relationship of Lab Manager and vSphere

  My shop starts to think about his Lab Manager architecture design, and we have some questions about the relationship between vSphere and Lab Manager.

  (1) can Lab Manager leverage of resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

  (2) must LM be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features?  In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

  The reason we ask is because we already have production environment vSphere, and we plan to install vCenter Lab Manager within this environment or install LM in a separate vSphere environment.

  Thank you.

  Tim

  (1) the laboratory director can leverage resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

  All used 'resources' must be inside a vCenter server, and all objects must be contained within a single "Data center" object in the hierarchy.

  > LM (2) done must be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features? In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

  If the vCenter for production is not the same as Lab Manager, you must export the Configuration of LM in an SMB share (requires a classic ESX host in the middle of LM), and then import it to the appropriate location.

  I did not notice problems with Lab Manager VMs-by-side with use of regular production.  Just separate the ESX hosts in a dedicated Cluster or a Pool of resources.

• Lab Manager licensing during the merger of vSphere environments

  Is there a small vSphere environment that is available for Lab Manager and a great environment vSphere and both are now completely separated (different vcenter servers, groups separated from ESX, etc.), and they are merged into one, what happens to the Lab Manager licenses?  Should be updated to take account of the increase in the number of ESX host in the new environment?  Environments can be merged without buying additional licenses?  If so, would be half the environment allowed for lab manager and others are not allowed?  How would the lab manager-under license, and lab-manager-without sections allowed environmental stands / separated?

  Thanks for your comments

  "Prepared" you went in in the section resources, hosts tab and see that the host is ready (green check mark), this means that there has been a 'prepare' to the host.  Prepare installs the agent LM, then she will deduct your license (settings > license).

• View office patches and linked Clone pool

  I'm mobile torwards a deployment of Thin Clients using the Wyse P20 and View 4 and I was wondering if anyone has had experience using the linked clone and Altiris Agent Office pool?  If this is not the case, what practices of patching are used?

  What practices of patching are used?

  If you use linked clone you way the main image, not the desktop images.

  Power on the mask, path, clipping, create a new snapshot.

  Then (with View Manager Administration) redial your pool with the new snapshot.

• New installation of 6.1 of the Horizon. It is normal that provisioning linked clones will take a lot of time?

  Hello

  First, I will describe my setup:

  1 Management Server: Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 drive HARD 300 GB SAS 15 K (RAID 5) and 256 GB of RAM

  2 hosts VDI server: Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 drive HARD 300 GB SAS 15 K (RAID 5) + 1 SSD 200 GB, 256 GB of RAM, 2 K1 grid cards

  1 unit number logic on a Dell Equallogic PS6110X (750 GB) where I put the masters.

  1 switch Dell N4032F (10 GB)

  All the server has 4 10 GB ports configured with NPAR (so, I have virtual network card of 6 x 10 GB for storage and 6 virtual network adapter for the network of the VM) and 2-port 1 GB for the management.

  My master: Windows 7 SP1 x 86 optimized with 24 GB HDD Thin-Provisionned (2 vCPU 2 GB of RAM, 3 VMXNET network Card). There is no application has added to this master.

  I can't ask the Microsoft VMXNET 3 fix because it is said that this patch is not applicable.

  I have no VSAN because that only 2 VDI hosts, so I set up my stock for each guest with local storage for the linked clones and SSD local for the replica.

  When I run the provisioning of the office pool (17 VM):

  The clone of the replica (Equallogic == > local SSD) aura 2'30 "... It's good for me (113 MB / s... the Equallogic is also used for another another LUN storage server)

  But the rest of the entire operation completes the provisioning will take 40'.

  More than 50% of carrots is around 100% of the CPU on the host.

  I tried to change my (9 disc hard + 1 spare) RAID5 to RAID10 (10 HDD). It will take 50'.

  And, when all of the operations are completed. I have 2 or 3 VM with the message: Agent unreachable and 1 or 2 crashes on the provisioning.

  One recompose your desktop one VM will take about 1'30.

  My question: it is normal that commissioning will take so much time?

  And another question: when I'm connected to a virtual desktop computer with customer Horizon during a pool commissioning, the freezing of the VM or I can't just plug. Although I Office ready. And sometimes, vCenter client will freeze to a large number of seconds during deployment

  Have someone idea?

  PS: Sorry for my approximate English ;-)

  Solution: I replaced the lsi_mr3 of storage vmware with the driver megaraid_perc9 driver.

  Thanks to ddewire for his help.

• Linked clone is not the deletion of the Horizon view administrator

  I am trying to remove a linked clone (and pool that linked clone). However, he advised that is the removal of more than 12 hours. I think that the problem is that someone has tried to connect to this virtual machine before fully completing commissioning. The only other VM in the pool view Horizon has deleted without argument. Is there another way to remove this virtual machine?

  See you soon
