• 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.

  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.

• 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 HORIZION VIEW 6.0: it does not serve any which RDS (using PCoIP) session to my zero Teradici Clients but it works with Horizon of VMware View client 3.0.0 from my computer

  Hi all

  I'm testing view Horizon 6.0 Service sessions (Windows 2008 R2) RDS through PCoIP. I think that my setup is just because I can connect via Horizion View Client (installed in my laptop or my Android smartphone). But when I try to connect from a Client Tera zero, 1 or 2 (with the latest firmware), at the same time I did logon, I still have this error:

  "View server connection has no return of available virtual desktops."

  Could someone tell what can be wrong?

  Concerning

  As a result of this discussion "Re: RDS support is included in Vmware View (broker)?" I saw that I must spend my customers zero to 4.5.1 firmware. Once I did, Tera 2 Zero Clients work very well but do not have customers zero 1 Tera.

  I expect response from Teradici.

• VMWare View Horizon and vCenter assessment

  Hello

  I'm going to show a customer what Horizon of VMWare View. They currently use an ESXi host 5.5 with vCenter evaluation license. Is it possible to use the view with vCenter assessment? The reason I ask is that I get the following error: "Error vCenter entry."

  Thank you

  Which version to use for your vmware view? I guess you try to add vcenter in sight and you get the error message. You must add using domain\admin account.

  Also check that you have the necessary permissions.

• 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

  In iterations (5.x), there was simply an option in "always connect to this server on startup". 

  
  

  In test 2.2.0 I don't see that option anywhere. I have also yet to find any switch that I can add to enable this feature.  Does anyone know if this is even possible?

• How to fix VMware View Server certificate revocation check connection error?

  Dear community,

  For about 2 weeks, I feel a revocation of the certificate check error in our environment Horizon see 6.2. The strange thing is that, within 12 hours about two (replication) connection servers and the vCenter Server / server of composer (on the same machine) are considered as having invalid certificates, even if, in fact, they are valid (CA certificates). We use no security servers.

  The view admin console shows the following for servers connection:

  The server certificate is not approved.

  The server certificate cannot be verified.

  For the vCenter, he said (that I have validated manually the certificate):

  No problems found.

  Certificate is not approved, but the thumbprint of the certificate is accepted.

  With the connection series on 'full', States that the login server logs for the vCenter server:

  TRACE (B 17-0 - 0E98) < VCHealthUpdate > [NativeKeyVault] validateCertificateChain response: {result = FAIL, EndEntityReasons = cantCheckRevoked, ChainReasons = invalid, SelfSigned = false, EndErrorCode = 16777280, EndInfoCode = 258, ChainErrorCode = 16777280, ChainInfoCode = 256, PolicyErrorCode =-2146885613}

  As far as I can see there no similar entries for login server certificates in the newspaper.

  At the moment I am under the environment with composer and vCenter certificates manually valid and invalid connection (red) server certificates (as view clients and browsers are not disabled).

  I already checked that I am able to do everything 'green' again via setting the registry key 'CertificateRevocationCheckType'2 (as described here Configure the server certificates certificate revocation check). This brings me to the conclusion that one of the intermediate certificates cannot be validated. So, I had the information a "version" of an intermediate (intermediate certification authority) certificate has been revoked. There seems to be no coincidence - like the time point is as well, but this particular version does not appear to be used in the servers of my connection.

  However, even with full logging enabled, I can't information which (intermediate) certificate cannot be validated and why. I expected to see something like 'OCSP verification' or 'check the CRL' but I can't find it in the newspapers. However, I noticed that one of the intermediate certificates lacked the OCSP URL (even if the field "Authority Information Access" existed). Of course I updated the certificate with a version that contains the OCSP URL, but it has not changed anything.

  In addition, I checked manually all of the certificates in the chain with openssl (for OCSP) and CRLs as well, but everything seems to be OK (all URLS are accessible and no opportunity of certificate has been revoked). Actually, I do not interpret the error as "that the connection to the server is an invalid certificate because it has been revoked", but "it cannot check if it has been revoked. The servers do not need a proxy and nothing configured, so (I checked the proxy settings system context, also).

  For now, the problem is not critical, such as 'red' status connection server has no effect on our customers and so I could turn off certificate revocation check (or switch to check that the certificate of the server (2)). But of course, I would really solve the problem.

  Is there someone who can give me a hint on what to check, for example, how do I know which certificate cannot be controlled and why? Someone had the same or a similar problem? Support VMware is working on the problem as well, but they seem don't know is not the problem, either.

  I appreciate the thoughts and responses! Thank you!

  Best regards

  Dear community,

  During this time, I was able to correct the error described at the beginning of this thread. Jump to the end to see what could probably help you...

  1. At first, I installed an additional standalone VMware View Server connection in order to check the following related certificates:
     1. VMware support always told me to renew my certificates because they "were not valid" etc. - even if in fact they were (like external URL calls and attested manual verification and tests).
     2. That's why I created new additional certificates for the login server and configured to include the vCenter even as my production environment - only difference was I didn't inlcude the composer who runs the server vCenter himself.
     3. The result was that the server was "green" including both the vCenter Server certificate which could be 'not reliable' by the environment of production - strange, huh?
  2. After I reset the additional server to a turned wink where connection to the server was not yet installed (before that, I uninstalled the connection to the server in case there is information in vCenter thereon) and reinstalled as a replica of the production environment server. Somehow I expected this, but still quite strange the vCenter Server (and composer) now again was considered "invalid", even if the certificate of the server connection itself considered still valid and green. For test purposes, so I put certifice revocation checking on '2' (only one server certificate check) - but only on the 'old' production servers' and 'magical' everything has been considered valid. So as I see it, there seems to be some sort of information stored on the 'old' connection servers that makes them believe that invalid certificates and that the information is replicated on the third server unless I lower the revocation of the certificate controls on these servers. Altervative explanation could be that VMware View does not accept certificates with aliases that do not include the 'real' server name - that is / was in fact certificates the old servers connection. The new server certificate connection included the real name and the alias. I understand if this is the case, but then I expect that it be documented somewhere (I have not found this information) and also wouldn't understand why it worked without problem for several years before.
  3. After finding that out, I created new certificates for the 'old' connection servers, including aliases and real names and replaced the certificate on one of the servers (and restarted the login server) - only a few successfully. Once I put the revocation checking on '4' again on this server, the login server certificate was still considered valid, but not the vCenter and certificate of composer.
  4. Now, I've uninstalled the old login server (removed from the view) and reinstalled completely (including an update of the 2008 R2 2012 R2 OS) and after I have it reintegrated into the environment, everything remained green - as long I have will activate revocation checking on the second login server "old." This is why I did the same with this (completely reinstalled and reinstated it) and now everything is green with the revocation checking enabled on all replicas of server connection.
  5. The next step I uninstall the additional replica because I created only for troubleshooting purposes.

  So what will no doubt help in similar cases:

  • Reinstall the servers of connection one by one, including:
  • Uninstalling html access (if used), uninstall the login server to view, uninstall 'VMware' AD LDS Instance.
  • Removal of the connection to the server of replication group: run "s - r s uninstalled_ vdmadmin.exeservername" on one of the servers connection remaining.
  • Reinstall/Update OS (may not be necessary, but I did not test that)
  • Reininstall, return to the login server replica. If you used the certificates which included only the alias of the server I recommend you to create new ones, including the name of the server as well, but maybe it's not necessary as well. If you want to keep the certificates which only inlcude the alias it will be necessary to install this certificate after the first replication of the servers (see below).

  My question for technicians of VMware/developers: It is supported to use certificates include only the server alias. Otherwise why it worked before and where is it documented? Where are certificate cached information so that simply replace the certificate was only some, and not a complete success (see above). FYI - when I paired initially replicas that I had to install the CA (including only the pseudonym) after the first replication - now with certificates (including the server name and the alias), I could install the certificate before you replicate (= the login server installation).

• 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.

• 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.

• Is it possible to remove the disposable disc to a pool configuration in VMware View?

  I would like to remove the option of disposable disc several persistent pools in VMware View Horizon 5.3.1 (where virtual machines are already using disposable disks); However, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in the options of the pool. Is it possible to remove the disk otherwise option or should I remove the old pool and create a completely new without this option enabled?

  I used disposable disk option seems to be to save storage space, but I discovered that disposable disks have been updated only when displaying launched a turning off the virtual machines in the pool (which never happens). I thought that disposable records updated each time that a client shutdown/restarted the VM... but which is not the case. Given this information, I would like to stop using disposable disks as they really may not confer any advantage the way our persistent virtual machines are configured.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  OK, you're right... only the drive letter customization is allowed.

  Now to answer your question, the one and only formally is to remove the pool by archiving all disks persistent (user data disk), and then create a pool with the same name (but without SDS).

  In addition, select all the archived UDD and then click on, "recreate". All new desktop computers will be recreated with the new spec,

  Another way (not officially committed / not sure of its effects)

  EAP-SVIVmPersistentDiskSpec entry will be there to ADAM OR = database server groups (VMware KB: connecting to the Database View ADAM)

  This entry will be there for disposable system that has a parameter "DiskUsage is SystemDisposable".

  Upron deleting the corresponding entry * may * end configuring don't not the SSD for the supply of others.

• Problems with the module supplier of personalized identification information and overview of VMware View Client working together

  I have a Horizon of VMware View client that connects me HVD Windows 7. So when I give view client Vmware Horizon my credentials, it auto logs me. I also created a custom credential provider that works on Windows 7 PC. When I install the custom in the HVD credentials provider, it works if I am already connected to HVD and I simulate CTRL + ALT + DELETE. Can I use my credential provider to "unlock" in. However, if I disconnect of HVD and try to connect using VMware Horizon View client to connect to Windows 7 of HVD, it gets stuck on the screen of the tile. I see the VMware SSO user tile but nothing happens when I click it. Then, I use my provider of customized credentials to connect. I expect to bypass my ISP credentials on the first connection and self as before.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks for your help.

  OK, I did some more troubleshooting and discovered that it was a problem with auto connection set to TRUE on my side of custom credentials provider (I pbAutoLogonWithDefault to TRUE). Since I still like it TRUE, I had originally set it to FALSE and then change for REAL once my credential provider was used.

  Thank you!

• VMware View displays information of State Office

  I am trying to view the status of the office in a pool of offices to Horizon of VMware View. Using the cmdlet "Get-RemoteSession" indicates only that the status 'Connected' or 'Disconnect '. State as inaccessible and already used Agent information is absent. Is there a cmdlet to view the office and that already used such status, Agent unreachable etc. ?

  I'm afraid there is currently no cmdlet that provides this information.
