I've installed the View 4 Agent into an XP SP3, fully windows updated, VM with VDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent=0 specified since I am not (yet) using vCenter with View 4 and with the PCoIP server installation option selected. Also installed v4 Connection Server into a W2K3 x86 VM and created an individual desktop with this XP VM with PCoIP set as the default protocol. All VMs hosted on ESX 4u1.

When I connect, as a non-admin domain user, I get an RDP, not PCoIP, connection as confirmed by the connection server's "Active Sessions" and a qwinsta in the View session. This is with the View 4 client (without offline) installed on a Vista SP2 x86 machine.

I can't see anything obviously wrong in the logs on the client.

Anybody got any ideas how I can get PCoIP going or is this not allowed unless using vCenter, although I can't quite see why that would be?

Previously I was connecting via IE8 so I've just tried with the client directly, ensuring I select PCoIP as the protocol, and it is now shows the connection as "wdcon" when I run qwinsta whereas when I was getting RDP it said "rdpwd" and says I am on the console, not an rdp winstation.

The connection server is also now showing me as having a PCoIP connection so this looks like it might be a limitation of coming in via a browser rather than directly through the client.
