Auto Assigned Desktop Info Stored where?

When a user is auto assigned to a desktop, where is that user/desktop information stored? In the ADAM DB? Where?

We are having an issue where a user was auto assigned desktop A (full clone) but then was having reconnect issues/errors so we assigned her desktop B.

Desktop B was working without the reconnect issues UNTIL we removed her entitlement from Desktop A. Then the issue started again. We currently have Desktop A in maintenance mode but I'm assuming there is some sort of residual information left behind either on her laptop or in the ADAM db.

Desktop objects are in OU=Servers=DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=init

On the desktop object, its the pae-SIDString

It sounds like the user might have autoconnect enabled on the pool which is stored in the ADAM database. On the Horizon Client the user can disable autoconnect after connecting to a pool (Zero clients don't have this option). Alternatively try the following query in your ADAM database. All of the results will be for users that have "alwaysConnect=true" in the "pae-NameValuePair". You can remove the "alwaysConnect=true" entry.

Root of Search: OU=Properties,DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int

Query String: (pae-NameValuePair=*alwaysConnect=true*)

Connecting to the View ADAM Database (2012377)
