• Client VMware View Horizon and high DPI screens

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone has a solution for getting the customer view play nice with high DPI screens like those with screen resolution 3200 x 1800, or Apple 2880 x 1800 on the retina of Macbook 15 "screen resolution. View client does not seem to evolve properly, and the only solution seems to be to change the desktop screen resolution and then connecting display. I don't think that it is a very graceful difficulty, and my users are not too happy about it either.

  Thank you

• Completely remove sdconf.rec connection server VMware view Horizon 6

  Greetings,

  I want to completely remove the sdconf.rec file downloaded from my connection to the server VMWare View Horizon 6.0.1. In previous versions, it was that I had to delete the Sdconf.Rec of C:\Windows\System32 and set the attribute to EAP-SecureIDConf under CN = < servername >, OU = server, OU = propriΘtΘs, DC = vdi, DC = VMWare, DC = int '0' but this attribute does not exist in version 6!

  Just deleting the Sdconf.REC file does not work, after doing that (even after a reboot) it always says "a Sdconf.REC file has been downloaded" when I check the settings of the connection to the server.

  Does anyone know how to delete this file in version 6? I'm this close just removed the server connection and security together and do a complete reinstall.

  Thanks in advance!

  Haha, Yes, it seems I was typing the variable wrong, changing the attribute now works, but I still see "an sdconf.rec file is already downloaded" even after change to the attribute and remove the sdconf.rec file in system32, even after a reboot of the connection to the server.

  This should be OK. What you did is invalidated the sdconf.rec file. It probably will always exist, but watch to see if it has been invalidated. that is, it should now be much smaller than your original and so not usable, which I think is what you wanted to achieve.

  If you want to just disable the RSA SecurID authentication, which can be made in view administrator.

  Please confirm.

• VMware stuck Horizon and a long boot

  After a weekly update, the virtual machine in VMware View Horizon shows the status of 'Start-up' and won't allow no one to start on the machine, unless I have manually reset their machine. He has recently started to happen, there is no error message, it hangs just at the start. At other times, vm may take 10 minutes or more a long time to start. What would cause these issues? It is a 64-bit Windows 7 computer and no changes have been made.

  Update on the testing and very long webex with VMware - it turns out that the NTP setting on an esx host did not work - don't know how we missed. Once started, the time ends up synchronized (he was out of 10 min.). I am current test to check, but confident that the problem is resolved.

• VMware VDI vs VMware View Horizon?

  Hi all

  This should be easy for you, the gurus of VMware

  I have a requirement to expand a network of a single
  location central out for a large company and I am looking to use Thin
  Customers in the new corporate reach in a VMware VDI environment offices
  in the center of data centralized where we already have a full blown 5 of Vsphere
  environment for our servers.

  I was originally looking for VMware VDI via VDA (http://download3.vmware.com/demos/vdi/)
  and was sold on the idea that it would be a good choice given the WAN
  traffic to the Thin Client workstations based on RDP/PCoIP and so
  not particularly heavy.

  However since then looked back to VMWare View and this
  seeks to do the same thing that the VDI put in place and seems to have much more
  information about this.

  I first thought that VMware View Horizon set caching of desktop
  locally (as for a profile of the end user on the WAN) has no sound
  too good to the traffic congestion, etc. so I rejected directly at the exit!

  Can someone tell me if the VDI via the VDA solution has been replaced
  VMware View Horizon? And if so point me a definitive guide for VMware View

  Thanks in advance

• View 6: Blast gateway Gateway stopped, VMware view Horizon Blast Gateway Service lasted less than 1500 milliseconds

  An interesting error popping up on a view greenfield 6.0 installation, was curious to know if anyone has come across this. It's on the Security Server, the breath gateway server service is suspended and will not start. In Event Viewer, I see circling them following in the Event Viewer error. We checked for if make sure that the certificate was friendly named appropriately vdm, but it looks not to the service will not start after reboot or reinstall. Will post more detailed logs if you ask inquiring minds.

  Hey Mike, thanks for the reply. Just got word back (it was actually a peer of mine) it ends up being a problem with the certificate, they import the pfx with the private key. Logical since he said it worked until it has updated the cert.

• 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.

• VMware View 5.3.1 and functional level Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory

  Hello

  As I read in https://www.vmware.com/support/view53/doc/horizon-view-531-release-notes.html

  VMware View Horizon does not support the Windows Server 2012 Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain functional level. You can use Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 AD DS with Horizon of VMware View domain functional levels.

  Does this mean I can install VMware View 5.3.1 in an environment with Win 2012 R2 AD set to Win 2003/2008/2008 R2 functional level?

  It is a facility supported?

  Kind regards

  Does this mean I can install VMware View 5.3.1 in an environment with Win 2012 R2 AD set to Win 2003/2008/2008 R2 functional level?

  Yes that's correct.

• View of the horizon and 'Blast' Protocol

  Hello

  I have recently updated our login servers and security to view Horizon 5.2 and I see the option to enable HTML5 pool access, but it indicates that an office feature pack must be installed.  I was not able to find this "feature pack" anywhere.  I've been through the administrative guide for 5.2 and it really do anything don't speak HTML access.

  Can someone point me in the right direction so I can start to do some tests with HTML5 access to desktop from view?

  Thank you!

  According to the notes of https://www.vmware.com/support/view52/doc/horizon-view-52-release-notes.htmlversion:

  These components will be available shortly after the general availability of VMware View Horizon 5.2 and may subject to availability of the app in various application stores mobile device.

  I feel your pain, I was really looking forward to test access HTML 5.

• 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.

• Something about View Manager and Administrator display

  Hi all

  I refer to the following site for the new architecture for VMware view Horizon 5.2. I found there is no display manager in the list of components.

  http://pubs.VMware.com/view-52/index.jsp#com.VMware.view.planning.doc/GUID-C6AD7E43-FC69-4D8C-AB97-423FC0DCDB3D.html

  VMware view Horizon site Administration told me that we can add server vCenter for View Manager via the administrator view Instances.

  I wonder what View manager is and what is a subcomponent or a view to connect to the Server service? And what is the difference between the Manager and view

  Administrator?

  http://pubs.VMware.com/view-52/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.VMware.view.Administration.doc%2FGUID-F8210848-BBF9-4943-bcd8-75E7F5AEFEE8.html

  'View Manager' is simply the old name of the VMware View Horizon product. The iteration of names was something like;

  VMware Virtual Desktop Manager 2.0

  VMware View Manager 3.0

  VMware View 4.0-> 5.1

  VMware View 5.2 horizon

  Looks like the doc team has not changed this reference yet.

  It should read "we can add server vCenter instances to view through the view administrator.

• View horizon black screen

  Hello

  We have a working environment 6 view Horizon, and it works with view client and html. But today, I was at a customer, and when we tried my laptop, we where able to connect, but when I chose the VM, it goes to black screen and after 10-20 sec it disconnects. It must be something on the network of customers since it works from other places, and my laptop works also in other locations. I was able to use RDP, and HTML, so my question is then what do I the customer will have to check in their firewall? I thought that 'users' needs not what anyone special ports open on their side, thought it was by default ports that where free... but I'm not a guy to network... so

  Have confirmd with vmware support that this question lies in the customer network, problem with the old hardware when it comes to router / firewall... need to update firmware
