Available (Task Halted) during Recompose operation

[MrBeatnik]

Hi,

It seems everytime I perform a recompose operation on a pool, this error appears with about half (or more) of the desktops.

View Horizon 5.2

Non Persistent Desktops

Windows 7

Delete on Logoff

Basically I update the golden image each week and take a new snapshot.

Each time I recompose with the new snaphot, this always happens. ALWAYS!

Any ideas? One article suggests the composer server is down (VMware KB: If a refresh operation is initialized on a group of linked clones and the View Composer s...), but it is up and running.

Not sure what causes it but have you played around with any of the settings?   Perhaps changing the delete on logoff to do nothing on logoff and see if you get the same error?   I would be interested to see if there is some type of timing issue between the delete on logoff option and the recompose task.

Try un-checking the "stop on first error" option during the recompose. That seemed to help for me.

Be sure you don't have CBT enabled on the master image you're deploying.
