VMware View - provisioning question of desktop computers

I'm new to VMware View and just build a my QA cluster environment.  I have installed/configured view administrator on a dedicated virtual machine and installed/configured on my server vCenter composer.  I created a gold statue (called, joined the domain, configured custom parameters, view agent installed) and converted to a model. Then, I created a pool on my server administrator to view and added 10 desktop computers.  They have all implemented successfully, however, they all have the same computer name (same name, I named the machine of the gold statue).  The machines that appear in VMware show the naming convention that I created, but the internal computer name is the same for all. I guess that the DNS name.  also, I can have these machines added to the announcement through this process or do they need to be predefined?

Customization = None seems to be the reason. When we customize him clone all the related machine settings are kept from the model VM, which are the name of the Machine, machine SID, the work/domain group settings, etc. That's why you see Office all the same names as those given to the model. You can create a customization specification in the CR. Instructions to create a file of customiztion specifications in vCenter can be found at:

Use this technique of customization when you create the pool. Hope that helps.

    I was on the phone with VMware for 5 hours Tuesday last with this same problem.  I ended up solving the problem without their help.  You must initialize your model, let the time updated, shut it down, take a new snapshot and recompose your pool.

    Re: View 5.3 - desktop blocked at startup

  • Questions about VMware View

    Hi, I need to provide always on desktops to remote 50 users. I have been using VMware workstation to provide these desktop computers, but it was a temporary solution that is quick and easy.

    I started by installing the free ESXi which works fine except that these virtual machines are running an application that requires DirectX. When reading information VMware views looks like it's maybe the solution I need, but I can't say if she can provide always on workstations or if desktop computers are provided according to the needs. My 2nd concern is cost. I don't mind spending the money for VMware View, but looks like I have to have seen running in AD and that it will require me to install many other products such as VMware infrastructure 3.5. Someone has some good links to install VMware View and the provisioning of desktops?

    When you purchase View 4.5, business or first, you get ESX and vSphere vCenter / I.  If you are supported on this part.  You don't need to buy that separately.

    With respect to reviews, the guides are:

    To start using the doc started get: http://pubs.vmware.com/view45/ol/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=get_started/t_getstarted.html

    http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/VMware-View45-evaluators-Guide.PDF -> is excellent for your POC on VMWare View.

    http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_installation_guide.pdf -> installation guide.

    You will need to have Active Directory in your environment.  View is used to automatically configure your desktop to your users.

    If you use clones of link or local mode (the ability to check your workstations), then you will need to Prime Minister, Enterprise edition will be beneficial.

    Hope this helps,

  • T410 AiO customer CAPS, NUM, and scroll keyboard stop does not work with PCoIP view desktop computers

    We have problems with our t410 AiO customers, where the CAPS, NUM and scroll stop lights on the keyboard do not work with view PCoIP desktop computers.

    I found the below information and a work around:
    If you use the Protocol PCoIP to display on a client system Ubuntu 10.04, the CAPS Lock, NUM Lock, and Scroll Lock lights on your keyboard do not work with desktop view. Although the lights do not work, the keys themselves work.
    Solution: Set the following configuration in a configuration file, such as/etc/vmware/config:
    mks.keyboard.useXkbSetNamedIndicator = 'TRUE '.

    The problem is this difficulty is already in place via the latest version of the HP, Z6A440, software that is installed within our Organization.

    What I discovered, is that the model that we initially bought for the test doesn't have this problem.  However, the models that we ordered since that time, DO have the problem and the solution above does not work as expected.

    The model originally ordered for test is still a customer of IOA t410... but there are 4 "under models' for customers of IOA t410... that we have to test is a H2W20AA, while those we receive and distribution are the H2W21AA model.

    No idea why, when connected to the desktop from view, that models of H2W21AA have this problem?

    H2W20AA is with Teradici PCoIP optimized, which can support PCoIP better, but H2W21AA is not with Teradici. That's the difference.

    However, the issue that you are experiencing does not matter in fact, we have not heard of this problem before. I would suggest that you do the following to see if there is no change:

    1. Go to download the latest VMware View 2.3.4 for t410, follow the instructions to install.
    2. If suggestion 1 does not work for you, try to connect to another VM group or set up a new machine virtual clean
    3. Call HP service center to save your problem for further investigation if the suggestion above did not work

  • VMWare Workstation and HP desktop computers and laptops

    I hope that there is a list of HP desktop computers and laptops where I can use VMWARE (Workstation).  In particular, I have a Pavilion Elite e9180t and would like to install VMWARE and run 64-bit windows vista or windows 7 and a Linux distribution.  Shop HP and HP Support people were no help in answering this question. In fact, people said THAT NO support is impossible.  Since HP has a relationship with VMWARE, I can't believe that the answer is absolutely no, can't do it.

    I am too much in the market for a new laptop and would like to know can I use VMWARE on a HP laptop too.

    Everyone else is off this way?

    Thank you

    I'll answer my own question!  I installed VMWare Workstation on my e9180t.  I'm on Ubuntu and Centos inside the virtual machine.  In order to run the 64-bit linux distos, I had to enable VT support in the BIOS.

  • Made up of desktop computers to view stuck on a manual after restart

    I'm having a problem with the commissioning clones using VMware view 5 and Win 7 SP1.  During the procurement process, the clones run fine and it seems that everything is going well until what happens at customization stage.  The scope of VMs a point where nothing happens, the State in the pool Office Administrator window says "Customizing".  If I let desktop computers in this State, nothing happens, and when I check every clone in the vSphere console, I don't see that desktop computers are stuck at the prompt say "reboot is necessary" if I don't go in each clone and click on restart, they will never leave.  In addition, even if I manually restart each workstation, they will remain in limbo forever customization.  Any ideas?

  • WANT to office: Question on new HP desktop computers

    Hello world. I think to buy a new computer in the near future, if all goes well, to replace my outdated Windows Vista, and I was wondering...

    I know this may seem like a stupid question, but as I am not the most tech savvy, I noticed that all new HP desktop computers have disk on the side players. I really wanted to get a computer when I put a CD or DVD in laterally rather than vertically, as you always do on most of the CD or DVD players. I'm worried that my drive could fall and on the floor, if I have to put in on the side.

    I was wondering, I would be able to put my turn desire on the side on my desk, or something (or am I supposed to), I wouldn't put my disks in side?

    Shrevedude

    Turning the case on the side, you have two issues with the option - air flow and direction of the HARD drive.

    Regarding the first, when you rotate the case and lay on its side, one of two things will be real - the CPU fan will point upward (which is good) or the fan will be pointing down (which is BAD).  You need the fan up to evacuate hot air from the case.  IF it is pointing down, it could not exhause air properly, your CPU is overheating and the PC will fail.

    Regarding the second, I know that the modern hard disks will work in virtually any orientation (i.e., vertical or lateral), but I don't know if it is safe to run inverted for long periods of time.  So, again, it is a question of orientation such as if carrying case on the reverse side the HARD drive, I wouldn't.

    Regard to drop the CD/DVD drives, they usually something mounted to prevent this.

    Good luck

  • allow the launch of the desktop computers only with the view-client CLI commands

    Hello

    It is possible to restrict desktop graphical clients (web and non-web) launch and the launch of single command line interface?

    what I want to achieve this, is to restrict access to desktop computers to view associated with a physical location, while allowing "ALL users" to connect to desktop computers only when you get close to those and not distance.

    Looks like using the Kiosk mode to make the broker, authentication and connection of office and then disable the SINGLE sign-on and have instead users connect manually inside the VM, adapt to your usecase?

    -no tags assigned

    Does anyone have an idea what I can do to connect my desktop PC?

    Hi Toby,

    Global policies, check if your remote control is set to "allow". Although playing all about you would have changed 'decline' which in my opinion, is originally not connect for the desktop, but you can download and run it locally (View Client with Local Mode operation).

    or

    Your your user account which belonged to the small remote desktop users group is no longer part of the group which blocks access to remote desktop computer.

    Above are a few assumptions based on the current changes in administrator mode which blocks access to remote desktop computers. Soultion can vary more information on your side.

    Kind regards

  • All desktop computers in the State of the report '(missing)' View Manager

    Hello world

    I'm testing the view 4.6 for internal use and my 3 users today announced that they are unable to connect to their desktop computers.

    The State reported for desktop computers in the display manager is "available (missing)."

    I noticed that you can still connect with RDP if you point directly to the IP address of the Virtual Desktop, shows like "connected (missing)."

    I noticed that it shows not the host or data warehouses where the offices are located, looks like a communication problem with vCenter.

    I restarted the vCenter and the server connection view with no result. East view of 4.6 and vCenter 4.1 as guests.

    I have attached a screenshot to show you what I mean.

    Any ideas?

    Penetrating the VMs a vApp is probably the cause as vApps are not supported with view currently. If all goes well moving their new will solve your problem.

  • Level of encryption between Wyse ThinOS and VMware View desktop

    Can someone help me determine the level of encryption between my Wyse thin clients and virtual desktops.

    I use the latest Wyse ThinOS and VMware View connection Server 4.0.

    I have a manual desktop pool configured with things THAT RDP disabled. I'm also using smart card authentication.

    With direct disabled RDP is a configuration of SSL tunnel for the connection to the server and the RDP session to the virtual desktop by tunnel through this SSL connection?

    Yes that's right, although strictly that you should say server/connection security as if you use a security server, then this is endpoint of the tunnel rather than the CS.

  • Question of VSI/VMWare View 4.5 connection

    It is perhaps a silly question, but it is a question that I encounter.  I've set up a small test environment to try to test the capabilities of my server using LoginVSI and ESXi/VMware View 4.5.  I have a few VMs work and but when I went to start a test but I am running on an issue which prevents me from run LoginVSI.  The problem is that I seem to be only able to connect to a client in by pitcher no matter if I use the command line or from the client application to view.  It seems that I can make a pool by VM and try to do the test in this way with a user by the pitcher, but that seems to be a wrong way to use the pools.  Y at - it a specific setting I'm missing to allow multiple users to log on to the VMWare View Client by machine or is this an intentional design decision that cannot be changed?  Thank you.

    There is an unsupported command line that allows you to run more than one user per machine.   The command line variable is - standalone.   I've never used seen it mentioned in another post, http://communities.vmware.com/message/1655745#1655745.

    View supports the addition of server farms existing Terminal Server to it's broker for connections giving the user a single place to connect to their strong server and virtual desktop terminal server.   All you have to do is create a new pool and add your terminal servers to the pool.  Notice only addresses the brokerage operations of connections to Terminal servers.

  • Desktop computer and the creation of VMware View pools

    I tested VMware view in a lab and got stuck on the addition of a pool of offices.  I have followed the guide "Getting started with VMware View" and encountered no errors up to this point.  I have a Windows XP VM and cloned it to a model.  I'm on the "Parent VM" section in the "Add Desktop" Wizard, but I don't seem to have an option to choose.  It displays my data center, but it is grayed out, so there is nothing to select.  I also noticed a note in the Parent virtual machine window saying that all VM at least one software component plug-in is filtered from the list.  I went back to the VC server and created a wink, but I don't see an option in the window.  Am I missing a step somewhere?

    On the assumption that youv'e ' e ' ipconfig/release', turning the machine off and then taken the snapshot--master

    If it is just a superstition of the mine, if you have tried everything else, try turning it back on the basic machine (master), after creating the snapshot.
