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.

Here are some links to help:

  • XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

    I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

    I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.

  • VMware VIew 6 (PCOIP): Windows Client and web browser connects, Android and Ubuntu - don't

    Hello colleagues!

    VMware Horizon Client 3.4.0 build-2769709

    VMware View 6.1.1 construction-2769403

    VMware vSphere 6.0.0 2776511

    That's what's wrong: used SecurityServer and connecting to the server. External connection - via a router. When it is connected to a vmware PCOIP Protocol (Internet) outside of the view with a Windows client and a web browser, it works fine. But when connecting from Android or Linux (Ubuntu 14) load the desktop does not occur. Android immediately displays the message 'connection to server lost', Ubuntu delivers all messages - I'll be back on the screen to select a pool table.

    Which connection via MS RDP connection protocol is correctly to all customers.

    In the settings ConnectionServer in PCOIP Security Gateway set up the external address of the router.

    Redirect them router ports:

    -TCP 80,443,8443,4172,32111

    -UDP 4172,32111

    Any ideas?

    In security settings server in 'URL of PCOIP' was FQDN, but it must be the IP address.

  • VMware View and Outlook 2007 advice please

    Hello

    We lack of Vmware view, a single master with ~ 20 linked clones. I have two questions by email:

    Microsoft recommends that Outlook 2007 is running in cached mode, but is there an advantage to running customer reviews in cached mode? In my experience, the client goes into maintenance mode when the user disconnects, and seems to be regenerated each time.

    I would like to change the default Outlook settings (address book, options, etc) but I don't see how to do on the 'master' for all users - is possible to do?

    Thank you very much

    You mention that you use linked clones. Given that, my opinion is that you absolutely don't want to use mode cached for the following reasons:

    1. the cached copy of the mailbox of the user will be (probably significantly) increase the size of the system disks in your virtual machine and your drive of the user's data (if you use them). This isn't a good use of the disc in my opinion and you be essentially double your Exchange storage needs.

    2. cached mode is a great strategy for WAN needs or for overcrowded overexploited mailbox servers. If your script does not match one of these then most likely, you can't all the performance improvements implemented cache mode can provide. Most likely your virtual office computer is sitting on the same DC/LAN, and you have several gigabit connectivity for your ESX servers.

    3. again, depending on how you manage your drive/user data user profiles you can be place your copy cached on the system disk. If so, this will make powerful capabilities such as Refresh and recompose less useful whenever you make a recreation of the copy cached in the mailbox.

    4. If you use a redirection of folder/roaming profile with cached mode, you do not want to be put the cached copy of the mailbox on a network share that predisposes so you in the solution of disk for user data. I prefer a real profile with approach of redirection of roaming folder for various reasons, most of them associated with management.

    5. the question of the interview you mentioned, which is related to the updated copy cached is not closed to the shutdown/logoff. Do away with the cached mode will fix this but also make sure you have Service Pack 2 for Office 2007 is installed. There are significant fixed Outlook and improvements in performance in there.

    6 cached mode can create problems with different search engines that seem to be fashionable these days. All of them want to index the updated copy cached and that they support each other or play nice, it has a negative impact on the performance of Outlook. They can also contribute to #5 above.

    There are others, but that's what I have on the top of my head right now.

  • VMware View and vSphere/ESX4

    I never tested with VMware View in any installation ESX so please forgive my ignorance on the subject.

    What I've read, I know that VMware View is not currently supported under vSphere but it should be later in the year.

    My question is: is it possible to run VMware View in vSphere/ESX4 and y at - it not crash you have experienced? I have a few clients who want to start a project with the product, but I'm tired to sell it to them without knowing if it is possible to run in vSphere or not.

    As I understand it, VMware View is just a series of virtual machines (View Manager for the management) and several other virtual machines for delivery of operating system invited to end users, so I think its possible to run, just not supported.

    Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you.

    Exactly how desktop computers are delivered to the end user? They give you a connection with the VI Client to vCenter and displays the available machines, they control?

    Display Client, Thin Client or View Portal (browser). Basically, we use RDP as the main Protocol for now (PCoverIP is the slate and many talked of the future Protocol). In simple terms, us tie in with the AD. The user connects by using one of the methods mentioned. The broker for connections check the user/pass, see what desktop computers - if any - they have right to and presents this list to the user. The user selects and then, if the SSO is enabled, records in their office environment. They have several desktop computers and screens (up to 4) if necessary.

    When the view is supported for vSphere and released, you know / think it will be difficult to migrate from individual offices shared through the clones related, or computers is - same not possible?

    God I hope not. For now, I have no idea, but I imagine they would create some sort of upgrade. View Manager is nothing else than a web application.

    I'm sure I think other issues later, but I can review the product documentation to answer most of them. I wanted to just grab a little better quickly because I have an appointment in an hour or two with a client

    Documentation has made a huge difference and give you a better idea of how this works.

  • VmWare View and working group

    You can install VMware View in a workgroup environment. What is the view installation sequence?. I tried to installed on a working group and it keep asking to connect to a domain during installation View Composer. Then I discovered that you must install sight connection to the server first, then composer. But the view connection server doesnot allow me to install in a workgroup environment. Thank you.

    In regards FT then is it not possible to have that between physical and virtual. Both machines must be virtual.

    It should be easy to connect your computers to a new network. Did you create a new vSwitch? The error messages?

    Best regards

  • Support of VMware View and Webcam in Horizon?

    Hello people, once again

    I saw this more recent article which explains that Webcams are not supported in views including 5.1.x.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003777

    Just want to confirm if she would be considered in the view 5.2 Horizon?

    I don't see mention in What's New.  This should be a no.

    Blogs are correct and it clearly states that the voice is not supported with Lync 2010:

    «.. . users will have access to features such as presence, instant messaging, sharing application, online meetings and sharing whiteboards and PowerPoint presentations.  "Other features such as VoIP calls are not available until a Lync client is matched with a USB IP desktop phone"

    Lync 2013 will have support for voice and video, but only on certain client platforms.

  • See 4.5 & Windows 7 License Manager

    Is KMS licenses needed for testing and proof of concept?  I tried it once and when provisioning I get an error of activation.  I don't have the KMS keys yet because I'm the test it all.  The system should just skip the activation and let the machines with activation?

    Thanks in advance!

    Larry B.

    If you do not have a KMS, you can skip the activation process with the evolution of this registry key on the server vCenter:

    HKLM/system/CurrentControlSet/services/vmware-viewcomposer-ga/SkipLicenseActivation to '1'.

    Of course the Win7 Office will be up to the period-eval evaluation mode expires but can be useful in a temporary unit or POC.
