• A local application can be started and used on a page of Web site by the local user

  can we build a way for a user to a Web site to open a desktop application on the local computer and run it through a page window.  Just curious...  Thank you

  You could certainly have a desktop application open a web page in a browser, but not the reverse without the user giving permission for it. If you think to give the user the ability to use a web site without being connected to the internet, then look-up offline web sites/pages using browsers service workers.

• Zero Client vs. Thin Client

  I spent days trying to figure why my USB printers randomly stop working with my Zero Client/Linked Clones. I support the case open with VMware and Teradici. Anyway, as I continue to troubleshoot, I started to wonder, would I have the same problem if I was using a thin Client. It really makes me think, so I decided to make this post.

  I would ask you all, who is using zero Clients, that is using thin Clients (which models) and why?

  In my case, I'll settle for those using Zero Clients and Thin Clients that support PCoIP hear and I would like to exclude things like VDI Blaster and all types of jobs reallocated.

  I'm curious about the advantages/disadvantages of each.

  Thank you

  I have two scripts VBS permanently running, one as an administrator and the other as the user.  The admin script periodically stop the spooler service deletes the spooler files (if they are old) and then restarts the service.  In our environment, all local USB printers are printers Dell.  The second script (which runs under the logged in user) periodically checks to make sure that the default printer is correct (ensuring that it's Dell). If a user moves from one client to another (where the default printer may need to be different), the script will change the default printer.

  If you are good with scripts, you should be able to adapt to your environment.  Otherwise PM me and I can help you.

• Auto Login & re-use of thick Clients XP

  Hiy guy

  I have a couple on client view interesting issues with that I would appreciate the help.

  First our View 5 to a customer, and they are re-use of heavy XP clients to connect to the VDI Windows 7 desktop.

  Now, unlike most places these heavy Xp clients will have a dual use of office for VDI VDI users but an Office XP normal thickness for users who do not use VDI. Consider Hot Desks with some users using VDI and others not.

  Now, we imagined a way to have a machine start-up and using login scripts to determine when they user logs on the Client heavy if they are a VDI user then the VIEW CLIENT launches automatically and connect to a virtual desktop.  If not a VDI user, then they connect to the office full thick as usual.

  Questions arise and here is what I need help with.

  1st edition.
  The login script calls the command line to View Client ("C:\Program VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe ' - loginascurrentuser true - serverurl" NAME of the BROKER "-"NOM_DU_POOL"- non-interactive desktopname) and launches the VDI Windows 7 Office seamless to the user.  View 5 it seems to always choose a desktop, even if you could only qualify for a pool of offices. We want to remove the switch - desktopname from the command line and to have the desk they are assigned automatically started. It worked in previous versions, if you were only entitled to one office the office launched automatically.

  Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that?

  2nd edition.

  When you press CTRL + ALT + DELETE on Windows 7's VDI desktop session thick office took over. We do not want to do and if a user presses CTRL + ALT + DELETE in a VDI session action is sent to the virtual desktop and is ignored by the Office of THICKNESS.

  Anyone now how this can be done? Don't forget the Office THICK must be able to operate normally not used with VDI.

  Any help would be greatfull.

  I agree on question 1. There is a setting on some client machines zero to auto login if the user has right to one office, but I don't know how it is actually. I guess you can use PowerCLI for display to find on which pool (s) the user has the right to use and then use the results of this query in the script to launch if there is only a single payment. Something along the lines of the example Get-User-name 'mydom\fred ' | Get-PoolEntitlement might work, but I'm not familiar enough with the commands PowerCLI to say with certainty. This could be a starting point, however.

  As for question 2, there is no way to disable CTRL + ALT + DELETE on the XP machines if there is a requirement that they function normally when not used as VDI client machines, if this isn't an option. There is a GPO settings in the pcoip.adm model to ' disable sending CAD when users, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE "which would at least prevent the users to send the same sequence of keys at the same time the desktop view and the XP machine at the same time. They would still be able to send CAD to the XP computer, but would have to use CTRL + ALT + INS in the Office of the view in this way. This only apply to users using PCoIP however and would have no effect on the RDP sessions. I agree with mittim12 it's more a user education issue that everything can be fixed with a technical solution.

• Problems with audio/video streaming with USB devices on zero clients

  Hello:
  We are using view 6.1.1 in our environment and problems getting audio/video streaming to work well with the USB headsets, with zero customers.  Helmets are Jabra Link 360 and customers zero Samsung NC241.  Helmets are used as well for the phones to Jabber and also as audio device by default.   We started with the audio driver Teradici and everything seemed to work well, except that users could not answer calls on the headset itself with the button on the headset.  They were able to answer the calls of Windows though and the part worked fine.  In order to get the physical button to work, we had to first fill the USB receiver they use on the zero clients so that Windows will see as the device Jabra 360 and not the audio device Teradici.  Then we had the EHCI USB mode on them as well, and after that he started to work very well.  However, the helmets also serve as the audio device main as well as the communication (phone) device, with audio streaming continuously throughout the day.  With the current configuration, audio streaming will cut in and out during the day, and audio/video is not always to stay in either phase.

  I also applied the registry in this KB hack, VMware KB: improvement in audio quality when you use speakers or USB headsets with a desktop VMware view Horizon 5.2 , which helped clear up Crackle that we originally with the part phone headsets.  But there is still the issue of streaming audio.

  I wonder if the effectiveness of the bridging USB is not as effective and also is there a way to make this work better?  I read that the use of the pilot Teradici is supposed to help with audio/video problems, but do not know how that can be applied to USB devices as we use.  I've been reading upward on Teradici audio/video settings, but do not know where to go from there.  I was hoping that there are some best practices to use USB headsets with a view, but so far I'm not finding anything useful.

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  We were finally getting help by the people of Cisco after validation in the here and even open a support ticket with VMware, which was open for more than a month without will.  Where others try to implement similar, here are our findings:

  • Zero clients combine traffic USB and PCoIP.  It is not good when there is a lot of audio/video/USB traffic, especially the USB headsets that also carry audio softphone.  In our case, the USB traffic was so dense that it was causing audio and video become troubled and freeze and eventually cause the pcoip_server service to break in the virtual machine itself and cause the client disconnect.  The fix?  Don't use customers zero with USB phones software, they are not just designed for this type of solution.
  • Thin clients are much better designed for USB softphones.  In our case, we used the Cisco VXME client, which is the method of support for the use of Windows thin clients with the client of the Horizon.  There is integration between the two products that isolates the VOIP traffic out of the virtual machine and keeps it local on the client itself.  Regular audio and video traffic still go through the virtual machine using Teradici or VMware RTAV driver.

  Hope this helps others who may run this question.  One thing we did not try was a wired headset using the AV sockets on the zero client and Teradici audio driver.  This can work, but our needs here were the headphones must be bluetooth, so we were forced to stick with USB.

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

• PCoIP zero client does not display an Horizon view Client user of the window for one (and only one)

  The zero client is a Samsung NC241 via Teradici Tera 2. My user has 3 virtual workstations assigned;  Current SOE with WinXP, a specific COMPUTER WinXP and a test for the upcoming Win7. When I connect the customer to see I'm automatically redirected to the WinXP for HER, without going through the window that lists usually all available virtual PC. This happens on all terminals, I tried. Other users, even if you connect to the same terminal, are given the option to select a virtual PC, even if they have the choice of a!

  I have checked the setting for the PC virtual in the Teradici PCoIP Management Console and also the settings of the user under the Horizon view VMware administrator but cannot find where my configurations user and desktop are different from those that work "correctly".

  Is someone able to propose what I'm looking for?

  TIA

  Thanks, Stu, for your input.

  I arrived on the solution after you follow through with your suggestion above. I used the client on a Windows PC, then after that record on I clicked on 'Options' in the bar of VMwareView Client session and erased the text is 'auto connect to this office. We have the option 'Enable automatic reconnection' set to false, so I'm not sure why that followed me.

  But the good news is that it worked!

• Unplug or switch Office how from one zero client

  I know that if you use the client on a system, you can have the menu bar that a user is able to disconnect from a session. But how a switch or switch user to one zero client workstations? I'm testing with the Wyse P20.

  Maybe if there is a command or a shortcut, so that I can create disconnects

  Hello

  that s okay: the abbreviation is 'CTRL + ALT + F12' to disconnect the session via the keyboard, and is enabled by default.

  You can also disable this function via a profile on the MMC.

  Required minimum Firmware version: PCoIP Firmware 4.0.1 for that shortcut.

  Add: If you use the integration of Imprivata SSO on your ZeroClients, you can disconnect the session by pressing F4.

  That s "Imprivata by default"

• Reference Dell Wyse Zero client P25

  Anyone know if I can run Redhat 5 on a Dell Wyse zero client? Assuming that vmware view is the redhat image management software. This is not a thin client and I do not think that customer to view gets intalled on zero clients.

  There are many parts to the VMware View solution. The main parts, that you ask the subject are:

  Client access device: what do you use to access your desktop remotely hosted VDI and RDSH

  The Office of VDI and RDSH host: the Virtual Machine you remote in and work (that is displayed to the customer)

  Zero clients are a feature of client access that are VMware Ready Certified for VMware View and appear on the VMware View Client HCL. A zero client can be used to access your virtual desktop VMware View with PCoIP such as the Protocol of distance communication.

  We also provide the customers of VMware View software running on a wide variety of client devices and operating systems such as Linux Distros, installs Thin Clients with custom Linux for our client partners customers Windows, OS X, iOS and Android customers. Our open client is just a client for devices based on Linux, typically used by our thin client partners to create customers for their specific needs. It's just the customer that allows you to access your remote desktop of VDI.

  The only host or remote VDI desktop OS / OS RDSH we support connection from any device using RDP client access or PCoIP is Windows. We do not offer an offering to connect to desktop computers based on Linux. Our base platform vSphere does support Linux servers / hosts (without Linux Desktop OSs are listed) so you might use alternative office as connectivity and vSphere allows to virtualize your Linux virtual machines.

• Zero clients - AutoConnect printers via the strategy?

  I can't find a definitive answer to my question.

  If I turn on the group policy 'AutoConnect map additional printer for VMware View' in my domain name AD and apply to my pool active Persona, and then add a printer assigned to a particular user, is there any problem if the user connects a Teradici function Zero Client?

  According to the document found in:

  http://communities.VMware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/14416-102-6-17439/location%20Based%20Printing%20on%20A%20Zero%20Client.PDF

  It refers to "Disabling channels to see virtual offices" to operate printing according to the location on the zero Clients that I did not.  However, in my pool of test, using the settings below it seems to work with a zero customer very well in preliminary trials.  I guess it's because I'm affecting the printer based on the user name and not by IP address, MAC address, or name of the client, so no information is really necessary on the zero client properly said.

  

  If I assign printers via the username as stated above, if it works reliable ok with zero clients, and is there any potential problem with Group Policy "AutoConnect card additional printer for VMware View" turned on with a zero customer if I as shown in the screenshot?

  We are a mixed HP Windows Embedded thin client and Teradici based zero client environment and I want to deal with all the identical machines in my Persona pool so I can get rid of some persistent desktops and use a floating pool of Persona based instead.  I don't want to cause problems with my zero client users if I activate my pool of production strategy.

  We must remove this document. It is inaccurate and provides information not supported by VMware. At the time where it has been committed we had embedded a feature called printing according to the location. The original version did not work with Clients from scratch from Teradici.

  This doc has provided a way to make it work, but the solution breaks many other components. Shortly after that it has been released Teradici, updated their Firmware to fix the problem.

  You should be fine without any problem.

• Thin/zero client beyond 3 G

  We need connect the thin client of 20-30 on 3G.

  We use vSphere5 + view 5.

  Can someone give me advice what thin clients are good for that?

  Also, there are about 20 thin client for office LAN. I want to take only one or two kind of thin and zero clients.

  Thank you

  I'd love for you to try the zero Clients, I used to work at Teradici, and I'm a big fan of them.  I don't think that any fan of Zero customer recommend their use in your use case.  As Tim noted that they do not support caching on the side sex (and other features that are harder to explain that also decrease the bandwidth).

  So far HP vs Wyse goes, it is not really important to me, just look at the speed of the processor, and like I said I recommend devices based on Windows.  Not because I don't like not (I didn't!), but because they support things better (of THE USB devices).

• Experience with zero clients

  Hello

  I was wondering how the experience for everyone was using zero clients? I tested an individual (I don't speak on behalf of the company, but it isn't Wyse) and have a few problems. I'm running the 3.3.1 latest firmware. One of my problems is the zero client gets hot. The support team, said its normal for them to feel hot. The main question is unannounced during the work, the screen will become black. The monitor isays its enter power save mode. I can turn off the zero client or unplug, from this point on, I get nothing on the screen. If I fail for about 20 minutes, it will start working again. Looks like its overheating, but I can't believe that it's 'normal '.

  I wanted the Wyse P20, but the cost is too high for my budget.

  Has anyone tried the EVGA PD02 or Pano Zero Client? Those are 2 others that I am reviewing

  Thank you

  Mike

  Yep, we use two monitors with it (I am currently using a with double 22 "1920 x 1080), and it has worked flawlessly. We did update the firmware as soon as we had the last version instead of all that he delivered with.

  Wise to retail prices, the EVGA PD02 is > $100 cheaper then the Wyse P20. We were less impressed with our Wyse representatives, but you are probably different.

  However the PD02 gets very, very, very hot.
