Windows 7 in a pool of office automated with linked clones?

Hello

It is possible to set up an office pool automated with Windows 7 clients does not use linked clones? I try, but I have not presented the snapshot of the Windows 7 machine... (I know that it is only the technical preview)

Thank you, George.

Because we create and use x 64 VMs of in vCenter/ESX, you expect everything to work independently of the architecture.  Now, I didn't pretend to have a deep understanding of the functioning of view Agent and composer here.  However, since they are the two required components of cloning and or support x 64 OSes, I guess there is some sort of incompatbility.

I know that I did not give a concrete answer as to why it doesn't work (and I couldn't I a), but I'll throw a few others obvservations I did.  I have already mentioned that the view Agent USB driver does not work on x 64.  When the associated test clones on x 64 OSes, I noticed that I could not select one of the x 64 workstations with snapshots.  Out of curiosity, I created an empty VM Windows XP Professional x 32 (with no OS) and took a snapshot.  I then went through the steps to created an automated pool and was able to pick up the snapshot for the x 32 empty VM XP.  He told me that he has no control on the real operating system for clones related through composer.  They must be carried out an audit on the guest "OS" said when you create the virtual machine and only allow x 32 VMs to serve as parents for the related clones.  I don't know if there is a difference at the level of the virtual material in x 32 vs x 64 XP XP, but it may be useful to create a "Windows XP Professional (32 bit)" VM and install XP (or Win 7) x 64 just to see what happens.

If I have the chance to test this, I'll post.  I'd be interested to hear what everyone said, because I'm very interested in getting x 64 support as well.

    What practices of patching are used?

    If you use linked clone you way the main image, not the desktop images.

    Power on the mask, path, clipping, create a new snapshot.

    Then (with View Manager Administration) redial your pool with the new snapshot.

  • Activation of Windows 7 with linked clones

    Hi all, I know that this has been discussed in previous posts, but I think I need some clarification. We use View 4.6 and I noticed that, in some cases (not all the time) when someone connects to your desktop of Windows 7 linked clone the message 'Windows is now activated' appears in the lower right. Other times I check and said BONE it will be self-activated in 3 days.

    The main image has been activated using our key to activate Multiple (MAK), and we do not have a Service (KMS) key management server.

    According to this KB article http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026556

    We are encouraged to move to a system of authorisation KMS on the master server. Here are my questions...

    1. what happens if I do nothing and we run out of activations? Someone wouldn't have to be connected for 3 days for the timeout to occur? It seems to turn on only when someone connects (AFAIK). What is when to start the countdown 3?

    2. what happens if we change the option in the registry (AllowActivateMAKLicense) to activate QuickPrep activate using MAK? Everyone does, what are the advantages and disadvantages.

    3. what happens if I change the SkipLicenseActivation registry entry? It's basically what I'm doing now and let Windows activate itself when someone connects?

    4. If I should not pass master image to use a KMS how to do that? I wouldn't have to rebuild the image from scratch.

    5 is there any difference between using the "Refresh" vs "Delete" option pool after disconnect in what concerns the way the OS license is activated? If I update will keep the activated license?

    Thank you

    Brian

    Actually, we had a similar problem as you with our base images. We built the images with the MAK and after that, it was discovered the problem in doing so. You can also change the types of licenses in your images in database easily. Try this page for more information: How to use the Volume Activation Management Tool or tool VAMT | The Windows Club

    This tool is very good in what it can tell you what type of licenses that you use MS product to you and you can use it to change the keys.

  • Window command prompt of the blackBerry keeps opening with link software

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit. After link was last updated, I started to see an opening for a flash with what seems to be a running BACK in a window of the window command prompt.  I have tried several techniques to eliminate this disabling including startup commands. After a service at the local computer store, we thought we had it licked. First time I plugged my phone - nothing. The computer does not recognize it and I opened the link - this is the boring window was popping up again. I completely removed the link and voila - the window has passed. I've never had this with previous versions of link. Any suggestions?

    I am currently deployment of VMWare view for the first time in a test environment and have hit a problem I have not been able to get around despite several searches on google and trial and error.

    Hoping that someone here could suggest something.

    View the VMWare versions are all 6.0.1.

    vCenter is on a device.

    VMWare view connection manager is on a 2012 R2 VM server.

    VMWare view dial is on a separate server 2012 R2 VM.

    I have a 2012 SQL on a separate server 2012 R2 VM Server installation.

    SQL databases have been set up for the composer to be able to reach it, it uses ODBC 64-bit via SQL Server Native Client 11.0.

    I tried troubleshooting by exchanging 32-bit, but this is not connected, it seems so 64 bit is correct.

    I have a windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition VM under my Golden image. There are VMWare tools on it and the VMWare agent on it.

    The virtual ipconfig/release performed top machine, he was then stop and a snapshot taken as my source.

    The problem is that when I go to deploy a pool of offices, I get the above error.

    If I connect to the VM created via vCenter readers persistent and temporary show very well.

    Based on the error, I tried different settings such as change the path for the reader of DVD VMs of D: to Z:, spread unique persistence and the temporary disks on multiple data-stores or data stores and even remove the drive of DVD of VMs completely. I have also looked at newspapers under composer view but find nothing to explain the behavior.

    SQL Server seems to work for configuration through the error logs and virtual machines are created and added to AD as expected.

    I must point out that the virtual machines are as linked clones.

    Can anyone offer a clue as to the cause or something, I can check it please, did everything I can think and Googling the error does not come to the top with something useful so far.

    Thank you

  • SYSPREP for windows 7 64 bit linked clone pool

    Hello

    I'm trying to set up a cloning pool of VMWare View related with desktop windows 7 64 bit, but I'm having a problem with the sysprep command.

    Maybe I did something wrong in the process.

    Here's what I did:

    * installed Captain VM

    -> install a new windows 7 VM 64 bit VM (Ultimate Edition)

    -> tools VM installed in the virtual machine

    -> installed the agent of the view in the virtual machine

    -> the master VM has added to the domain active directory

    -> power off of the master computer virtual

    -> taken a snapshot of the master computer virtual

    * Make the necessary prepearations ActiveDirectory

    (creation of the organizational unit, etc.).

    * enabled View Composer in view administrator

    * created the linked clone pool:

    --> in vCenter settings, I chose the parent VM

    + its snapshot

    -> I also published the snapshot to the forwarding server

    -> in comments customization settings.

    I chose the sysprep method

    -> 2 windows 7 syspreps were awailable to choice:

    'WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '.

    -> I tried the procedure at a time

    Added some rights for some users to

    the linked clone pool

    All the steps of the pool of linked clone in view administrator configuration worked without errors, the linked clone pool has been created successfully.

    THE PROBLEM:

    When I try to connect to the clone related with the Client view, pool

    It gives me the following error:

    "This Office has currently no sources of funds available, please try to connect to this desktop computer later or contact your system administrator."

    When I watch the console of all (10) desktop virtual machines in the vCenter.

    I see the following error message as a popup on each of them:

    "Windows could not parse or process the answer without assistance for pass file [specialize]."

    "The settings specified in the answer file not applicable."

    "The error was found during the processing of the component parameters [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]"

    No idea what I'm doing wrong here?

    The 2 syspreps that I could choose when creating pool related, "WIN7SP01" and "WIN7SP1."

    were there to choose just like that, I've never done anything to create, is this normal?

    If Yes, what is the difference between WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '?

    any ideas?

    "I've seen this before and I will say it was because of some kind of defective license referred to in the specifications of customization, which in your case would be WIN7SP01 ' and 'WIN7SP1.   These are not created by the sight and were probably created by the person who manages the vCenter instance because that is where they are stored.   I would check that the license specified with these customizations key are the correct keys to use with WIndows 7 X 64 machines.
