We have following configuration:

1. Virtual machine.

    a. Windows Server 2008 R2.

    b. Active Directory

2. Physical machine.

    a. Windows Server 2008 R2.

    b. VMware View Connection Server 5.0.1

3. Virtual machine.

    a. Windows Server 2008 R2.

    b. VMware View Connection Server 5.0.1

From machine #2 we successfully connected with VMware View and on machine #3 we have following error:

Can you provide a little more information. 

Are you using a client and hitting a view environment from the 2008 R2 server?  

Are the two connection servers part of the same View replica group?

Are you using the same pool in both test?

[SergeyRumyantse]

Thanks for reply.

Are you using a client and hitting a view environment from the 2008 R2 server?

Yes we have VMware view on physical machine with Windows Server 2008 R2 with success connect. And we have VMware View on virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 R2 with connection problem.

Please explain for beginner next?

1. Are the two connection servers part of the same View replica group?

How i can check this?

2.  Are you using the same pool in both test?

How i can check this?

When you created the second connection broker did you join an exisiting View environment or create a new view environment?

When you do your client test are you using the same url for both test or simply using the individual connection broker name?

[krismcewan · Accepted solution]

did you install the second conection server as a Local Admin?

was the Second Connection server a member of the domain before you installed the software?

should be nstalled as a member of the domain using a domain account that has local admin priveledges to be safe.

I want clarify my answers.

We have next configuration:

Laptop with VMware Workstation 8 with following vms:

1. vSphere

    1.a Windows 7

2. Windows 2008 R2 with Active Directory

3. Windows 2008 R2 with vCenter

4. Windows 2008 R2 with VMware View Connection Server

The fourth virtual machine was added to Active Directory.

VMware View Connection Server was installed from local administrator (not active directory member).

And when trying to connect to VMware View Connection Server Locally through “View Administrator Console” get following error:

2012-11-13 17:28:10,164 DEBUG <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_winauth] User all logged in as a local user (domain=XREN1)
