• Activation of Windows 7 with linked clones

  Hi all, I know that this has been discussed in previous posts, but I think I need some clarification. We use View 4.6 and I noticed that, in some cases (not all the time) when someone connects to your desktop of Windows 7 linked clone the message 'Windows is now activated' appears in the lower right. Other times I check and said BONE it will be self-activated in 3 days.

  The main image has been activated using our key to activate Multiple (MAK), and we do not have a Service (KMS) key management server.

  According to this KB article http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026556

  We are encouraged to move to a system of authorisation KMS on the master server. Here are my questions...

  1. what happens if I do nothing and we run out of activations? Someone wouldn't have to be connected for 3 days for the timeout to occur? It seems to turn on only when someone connects (AFAIK). What is when to start the countdown 3?

  2. what happens if we change the option in the registry (AllowActivateMAKLicense) to activate QuickPrep activate using MAK? Everyone does, what are the advantages and disadvantages.

  3. what happens if I change the SkipLicenseActivation registry entry? It's basically what I'm doing now and let Windows activate itself when someone connects?

  4. If I should not pass master image to use a KMS how to do that? I wouldn't have to rebuild the image from scratch.

  5 is there any difference between using the "Refresh" vs "Delete" option pool after disconnect in what concerns the way the OS license is activated? If I update will keep the activated license?

  Thank you

  Brian

  Actually, we had a similar problem as you with our base images. We built the images with the MAK and after that, it was discovered the problem in doing so. You can also change the types of licenses in your images in database easily. Try this page for more information: How to use the Volume Activation Management Tool or tool VAMT | The Windows Club

  This tool is very good in what it can tell you what type of licenses that you use MS product to you and you can use it to change the keys.

• Is it possible deploy Windows 7 floating - Linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and licensing through KMS?

  Hi all

  I would like to build a floating - linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and lincense them using KMS.

  I read that the KMS solution is valid when you deploy more than 25 VDIs but if my VDIs are rebuild a few times during the day, why KMS does not work for me?

  I have an installed KMS and I think the job properly, but when I build my Windws 7 pool for each computer I always get this message:

  "Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license (waited 1275 seconds).

  If anyone can tell me what I should do to fix.

  Thank you

  What I do for this is to simply begin your pool with 26 machines and all have power upward.  Then just make sure all active and then reduce it down to the size you want.  Your environment might suffer a little performance while you do this, but it does the job for you.  A tip - don't forget to make offices and BONES.

• 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!

• 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

• On vSphere Linked Clone and Lab Manager 4

  Hello

  In the Lab Manager Installation and Upgrade guide, there is a sentence saying: "Lab Manager is not compatible VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) or clones linked vSphere.".

  My question is: "what is a vSphere Linked Clone? Is is distinguished by a Clone of VMware? Because as far as I am concerned, the linked cloning technology came from Lab Manager right?

  Thank you!

  Welcoem to the Forums - Yes TI a vSphere Linked Clone is different from that in Lab Manager Linked Clone but unserlying technology is the same - the difference is whtechnology manages the linked clone - vSphere is handled only by the vSphere environment while a cloned associated Lab Manager is managed by you are your Lab Manager environment.

• 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.

• View two different windows simultaneously with an internal and an external monitor

  Display two different windows on external and internal monitors at the same time?

  Yes, you can.

  When you connect an external monitor, its pixels are added to the screen integrated to create an extended desktop. If you get a double built-in, just disable fill video. The pane organize you allows to place each tiny in the same way screen icons, they are arranged on your bench, and then the mouse moves correctly on the boundary between displays, and you can drag and drop Windows where you want.

• 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

  

  Hello

  Please find the following article to remove orphan console machines manager view. It will be useful.

• 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.
