Good time of day!
I request trial key for deploy VMware View 4.
All working fine, but i cannot register a unmanaged desktop source on view connection server.
Administration Guide describe following process:
To install VMware View Agent on an unmanaged desktop source
...
4 In the Register with View Connection Server window, specify a server name or
IP address. The IP address can be a standard or replica View connection server instance.
...
But my distibution does not request this information from me.
Question:
I must use different View Agent distribution for virtual machines managed by vCenter and unmanaged stations?
Or this is a bug in VMware-viewagent-4.0.1-233023.exe distibution.
Thanks!
Are you running the view agent installer in a virtual machine?
If you attempt to run the view agent installer in a VM running in VMware Workstation for example, you won't get that prompt, even though the VM itself is not managed by VirtualCenter/vSphere.

You probably want to run the View Agent installer as follows:
VMware-viewagent-4.0.1-233023.exe /V”VDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent=0”

Same problem here, tried following steps, target is XP VM on an ESXi:
1) uninstall agent, reboot
2) install agent from commandline: VMware-viewagent-4.0.1-233023.exe /V"VDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent=0"
3) Setup won't ask for the broker, just runs through after asking for the Agent components
4) Reboot
5) Machine still doesn't show up
There must be a different Switch for the setup in the view4-agent, as i don't even get the question, which broker to use beforce install.
thx in adv
I find a solution,
the corect syntaxe is
C:\VMware-viewagent-4.0.1-233023.exe /vVDM_VC_MANAGED_Agent=0
