• VMware View Login for users

  Hello

  question to VMware View and the connections of users. In VMware VDI, it was only possible to connect as domain\username (NetBios). For our environment (MS HMC) we need the connection [email protected] (UPN), cause HMC will encrypt the NetBIOS name of some internal code number und won't let you change client 'areas', always the root domain must be specified. Customes know only their account name, not the actual username.

  Do you have someone try this in VMware View and can tell me that this is possible? Don't want to start a complete installation...

  Thx for your help.

  Concerning

  Oliver

  Yes, it is now possible to use the UPN name for login.

• Map: a USB in VMware View Client

  Hello

  I am new to VMware and I want to use a feature. A physical machine, I connect to a virtual with VMware View Client skyline. I want to map (or redirect, or another alternative definition), a physical USB of my physical PC into virtual.

  How can I handle this?

  In Vmware View client, I in the upper part, a tab with USB connection, and it says "USB redirection is not available.

  Director of VMware View, group policies and settings are configured to allow the USB connection. Nevertheless, it doesen't work. physical USB to the PC, does not appear in the Virtual PC.

  What can we do?

  Thank you

  those install newspapers look to be on the client machine, rather than agent - so that they don't help us here.

  the problem is clearly that the part is not happy - you reason with the log lines, that you highlight. and, since the Device Manager, it looks like it is unhappy with several of the 'virtual' pilots he tried to install it.

  Was it a win7 'clean' installation of comments, on which you have installed the Agent discovered - or he previously had an agent installed that you upgrade?

  the problem is certainly part, and you should not see the triangles of signs in Device Manager. Maybe you can try to remove the agent and re install.

  see you soon

• The simplest configuration of vmware view?

  Good evening

  We have a small project with 5 desktop computers (= Users) and we think that it would be a good place to test VMware View.

  Unfortunately, it seems that we must implement the 4 servers to serve 5 customers:

  • See connection to the server
    
  • VMWare vCenter Server with View Composer
    
  • ESX Server
    
  • View transfer server
    

  What is the most simple and functional solution for VMware View with 5 users?

  The only software they use is a simple accounting tool that works very well with 100 k of memory...

  We hope that we can install a simple solution like this:

  HP (server) hardware with:

  • ESX Server with:
    
    • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with Active Directory and the file server
      
    • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with VMWare View to serve the 5 office users
      

  Unfortunately, there are no pre-sales VMware does support form / email (we hope that there is a customer support).

  Therefore, it would be great if someone can help us to answer this question.

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Kind regards

  I also wonder how this bake-off will go. I hope that the victories of view! In order to achieve this please take a good look at the documentation of the view. I also highly recommend that you take a look at the guide to optimize Windows 7 to see: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View-OptimizationGuideWindows7-EN.pdf

  This will show you how to build a good image of Win 7 basis for review. Also note that it is strongly recommended that you build your base images starting from zero and NOT P2V them. You can quickly and easily build images for operating systems Windows using MDT 2010 update 1. This tool is free and is Microsoft. I strongly recommend that you take a look. In addition, many optimizations for Win7 and view are also good for use with Xen. Good luck.

• VMWare View with RSA SecurID integration

  Hi all.

  We try to make VMware View to authenticate users through RSA SecurID according to the attached document. However, it is not clear where to put the node Secret file that is generated on the RSA Authentication Manager server? It is exported in the form of .rec file and is protected by a password, but server configuration view has all fields to load the node secret file. Should I simply rename the securid .rec file and put in %SystemRoot%\System32\securid? But how to do View Server to decrypt this file by using the password then?

  On the RSA server, I see in the newspapers:

  2010-03-12 08:05:49U-

  ---

  /viewservername.company.com-

  ---

  12/03/2010 03:05:49U verification of node doesn't have a rsa - ace - server.company.com

  RSA doc says

  "An incompatibility between the secret of node stored on an authentication manager and subsequently stored on an Agent Host may occur if you delete and re-create an Agent Host, or if you accidentally delete a secret file of the nodes. The incompatibility prevents messages between devices which is decrypted and causes the Agent Host deny access to all users who attempt to log on. Node of that check failed is recorded in the audit trail.

  Hello

  for me it is look like this attached image.

• VMware view users get

  Hello

  I have to make a script for our VMware view environment that gets the number of users who are connected last week.

  but I'm stuck.

  I've got so far with my script.

  $pss = New-PSSession "view-broker".

  Invoke-Command - Session $pss - ScriptBlock {}

  # Add view Snanpin.

  If (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.View.Broker - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))

  {

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.View.Broker

  }

  #*****************************************

  Get-EventReport - ViewName user_events | {where {$_.eventtype - eq "AGENT_CONNECTED"}}

  Try again with the StartDate parameter

  Get-EventReport - ViewName user_events - StartDate (Get-Date). AddDays(-7) |

  where {$_.eventtype - eq "AGENT_CONNECTED"}

  This should give the events for the last 7 days.

• The user of VMware View desktop

  Hello

  When a user login to VMware View for the first time they are assigned to a complete virtual machine, but their AD user account is not added to the local administrator group.

  Is there a way to automate this?

  Also, is there a way to force the sysprep command to add this machine to a specific OU in active directory?

  Thank you

  CS

  Hello.

  Why they would be added to the local Administrators group?

  I guess the best way to achieve this would be to add users to an ad group and add this group to the local administrator group.

• VMWare View dedicated server necessary?

  I'm new to VMWare view and still trying to piece together the elements was asked to get a proof of concept for one of our sites that will be more then likley turn to the full blown soultion. Not ideal, but something unfortunately end us up making often. We already have would invest it virtual and when I informed my boss that we must build a new server to dial the View Manager, in which he advised just throw on the server VReplicator isin can't do much.

  Counsel on View Manager running on a shared server?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi hammer =)

  I suggest that turn you on a new 64-bit view server, install the broker for connections on that. helps you solve problems and so on. After all, it is a VINE, and you have a virtual infrastructure.  your CV will be the composer installed on it and of course you will need a database to view, sql express works very well for this purpose.  You can stack on the same box, if you wish.

• Unidesk and VMware View

  Hi, can someone please tell me their experience with Unidesk? We are planning to test it, but I was wondering what other users have to say about it. What are the pros and cons in your opinion on the use of unidesk with VMware View?

  Thank you

  While you're good at using a floating pool, so remove the value from the user customization layer, you still earn many benefits.

  1. you get always keep exactly 1 gold image of the operating system.

  2. you always deploy the applications in the form of layers.

  3. you still get storage savings.

  I would like to add a fourth: the machines date back to default when to disconnect users.   In any pool of floating type, you will have some sort of data instead of roaming solution.   Gone perhaps roaming profiles and folder redirection of strictly MS background, or a solution that either, so there is no loss of functionality as the users are concerned.   As someone who has 15 years of dealing with those terminal services and support model office, let me tell you that I would've liked nothing more than a system that will automatically return to the original state at each reboot.

  I have a floating pool on "VMs Unidesk" I use for purposes of remote access for all and for our standard users in the office.   I have all basic applications we use loaded in it.   I use the folder redirection to send Documents, the desktop, Favorites and more downloads to our storage system, then have MS profiles configured for an ORGANIZATIONAL unit containing these roving machines.   AppData is basically all that is stored on the sharing profile, so user logons are super fast.   I even turned on Microsoft EU - V, which is so smooth, I just laugh whenever I see it working (essentially saved application configs in repository as XML files and pulls / pushes them back when applications are open, closed, etc..)   UE - V lets my PC full users to have their applications, such as their desktop themes settings or something else, fill in the VDI environment automatically, which gives a more consistent experience across devices.

  In any case, don't throw all this just because you won't get the layer customization user on floating pools.   There's always a ton of advantages with it...

• Disable the protocols and encryption algorithms in VMware View connection server and security

  Hello

  In my recent deployment, I had a customer request to disable some protocols and encryption at the Server VMware View connection and security. I read some articles and found that this has been achieved by editing the locked.properties file. But when we have edited and replaced the file, users could not connect to the virtual desktop, so came back to us backwards and desktop computers worked fine.

  I found a few articles that we don't need to edit the locked.properties file in VMware view Horizon 6. If someone has done this please guide me through. Here are the details of the protocols and encryption algorithms that should be disabled

  Diffie-Hellman key

  Enable SSL v2/V3 and TLS 1.1 and 1.2

  Disable the RC4 encryption algorithm

  Select the secret of transfer (if possible)

  
  

  VMware view 6 is the connection to the server and security server.
  

  
  

  Thank you.
  

  Hello

  I implemented the following steps (from the manual):

  1. update the JCE policy files to take in charge the high-strength Cipher Suites

  You can add some cipher suites of high resistance for greater assurance, but first you must update the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files to each server instance and the security strategy for JRE 7 see connection to the server. You update these policy files by downloading the files to extend JCE (Java Cryptography) unlimited strength political jurisdiction from the Oracle Java SE download site 7.

  If you include some high-strength cipher suites in the list and you do not replace the policy files, you cannot restart the VMware view Horizon connection to the Server service.

  Policy files are located in the directory C:\Program View\Server\jre\lib\security from VMware.

  For more information on the download of the JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy 7 files, see the Oracle Java SE download site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

  After you update the policy files, you need to create backups of the files. If you upgrade the instance of the view connection server or security server, any changes you have made to these files can be replaced, and you may need to restore the backup files.

  2. the changes that policies of global acceptance with ADSI Edit

  • Start the ADSI utility on your computer see connection to the server.
  • In the console tree, select Connect to
  • In the selection or type a unique name text box or a naming context, type the unique name
    DC, DC = vdi is vmware, DC = int.
  • In the type or select a text field or the server box, select or type localhost: 389 or the name of a fully qualified domain (FQDN) of the server computer to connect to port 389 followed view.

  For example: localhost: 389 or mycomputer.mydomain.com:389

  • Expand the tree of the ADSI Editor, OU = properties, select OU = Global, then select OU = common in the right pane.
  • On the object CN = common, Global = UO, UO = properties, select each attribute that you want to change and enter the new list of security protocols or cipher suites.
    I used the following settings:

  EAP-ServerSSLCipherSuites: \LIST:TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

  EAP-ServerSSLSecureProtocols_ \LIST:TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2

  It is not the highest possible, but they work with all the features of our customers.

  • Restart the service of VMware view Horizon connection server (server connection and security).

  This is not Activate secret transfer (if possible) , but other points are covered.

  If anyone can give a tip to activate the transfer secret, I would be grateful.

• Several areas in the Horizon of VMware View AD

  Hi guys, I want to test creating Pools with 2 Active Directory domains. I have set up my environment as follows:

  
  

  Domain A

  
  

  1. connecting to the server

  Server 2-composer

  3-Security Server

  4 - vCenter Server

  
  

  Domain B

  1. connecting to the server

  2. created a separate account to View Composer

  For now seen Horizon 5.3.2 is fully functional on the field. But I need your help deployment pool using domain B. After you have configured the connection Server (joined to Domain B), I tried to add domain B by using view composer account by logging in to view Admin(Domain A) > Edit vCenter Server > change display composer settings > check server information (under Domain) but I'm 'Bad domain name.

  
  

  You guys please help or send me a link of approval one way of installation which is required for VMware View, so that I can deploy Pool using domain B.

  
  

  Without creating confidence, I added redirector conditional field B on the field which allow me to add domain B without "Bad domain name" pop up. But I don't know what to do next. Anyone can guide me please.

  
  

  Concerning

  Hello

  I've done below the configuration to create 2 different pools where VM is joined to 2 different domains.

  I have Domain A and domain B, having 2 confidence way configured by the AD team.

  I sent 3 win 2 k 8 Server and added to the field.-a. On a single server, I installed vCenter & composer on one server I installed the login server & the other I did the Server fall back to the existing connection server.

  In connect to server, I added vCenter & composer. I have 2 different users who have domain join rights in Domain A and domain B.

  Domain-A\abcUser

  Domain-B\xyzUser

  I added above 2 users in the view composer under domain settings. PFA.

  When creating a pool, in the comments tab customization for users of domain-A, I chose identifier of domain-A\abcUser machine Domain-A and the AD container, which is present in Domina-A place machines.

  for domain B user created another pool, and tab customization of comments, I chose domain-B\xyzuser and the AD container that belongs to the domain B to place machines.

  If you want to add a different machines, you must not deploy a connection/replica server in each domain. Just add the ID domain user under domain composer view tab and choose the right ID when creating the pool.

• VMware View connect not not using Nexus 7 (2013)

  Hi all.  I am a new user and have problems even connect using my Nexus 7 (2013).  I use VMware View version 2.3.3 - 1749018 on Android 4.4.2.  Whenever I try to connect to a virtual desktop, I get an error "Lost connection to server."  I can always regardless of my physical location or what wireless network that I use.  In all the same places I can always connect with my iPhone.

  Any ideas? Sorry if I left out some key info.

  Thanks for the quick response.  I went through your steps and unfortunately had no chance.  But I managed to get connected in a different way, maybe it will help others.

  My Nexus 7 is set up with two accounts different profiles/user.  The first and main is my personal account.  The second (child) account is my business account.  I managed to install the VMware View app on my work account profile, but it would never connect.  I tried to install the VMware View app on my personal account profile and it connect to 100% of the time.  So, there is some difference in my settings on these two profiles OR child accounts have some inherent differences I don't know.

  If someone else has a similar problem, try using your main account to connect!
