I have a VMware View environment that I will now have to look at upgrading. The current version is quite old version 3.1.2 build-188088. The interface is quite clunky and the reporting from it is not that great so have a question over the connection of TS servers and the relationship to the maximum amount of concurrent connections and from this hope this will give me a better idea of any licensing requirements around the upgrade (so forgive me if this is a dumb question !!).
I have a mixture of both virtual desktops and Terminal services servers which can be accessed using the View software remotely, and at that point the end user will connect using the client or web portal and access the network by connection to the VSS server in the DMZ before connecting to the View Composer software. This should report in the View administrator and show as a connection. It will also equate to 1 licence being used for View
If the TS servers are accessed from within the network by RDP from a LAN connected physical desktop they will not connect using View as mentioned above, however they still show as an active connection within the View Administrator, is this merely a limitation within the reporting software and does this compromise the licensing position moving forwards.
In later versions has this reporting been changed meaning that any internal LAN based RDP sessions will not show (however would appear within tsadmin on the TS server)?
Or by the nature of having the View agent on a server does it report the connection regardless of the connections source (internal or external)?
If so would this mean an additional licence cost.?
