Disable SSO on a Single Desktop Pool

qln_ — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 11:32:53 GMT

Hey Guys,

with this regkey i can disable sso for a single desktop pool.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Agent\Configuration

AllowSingleSignon = false

So if I start the vdi and open the desktop, where the regkey is set to false, I jump right into the welcome/lock screen where I can change the user.

Is there a way that I can save the username?

So when I start the vdi horizon client with user "userxy" and switch on the welcomescreen to "userzz" the next time I try the same the user "userzz" is already preconfigured and i only have to type the password in?

Can anyone help me here?

Kind Regards,

Daniel

I doubt that will be possible. You are probably using instant clones, so the next time, you get a newly provisioned VM, which cannot know what the last user was on the previous VM.

Hey Mickeybyte,

thanks for your answer.

No there are persistent manual registered RDS Hosts.

Kind Regards,

@qln_

In that case, can you check the following GPO:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Logon Options: Display information about previous logons during user logon

Or regkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisplayLastLogonInfo (dword, 1 = show, 0 = hide)
