Dual Monitors with View 4.0 using PCoIP on ESX 3.5 hosts (VM version 4)

[BrandonJackson]

Are you able to use multiple monitors with View 4 and PCoIP, when it is running on VMs that are on ESX 3.5 (vCenter 4 though) with VMs that are running on Virtual Machine Hardware 4? We have an environment where we can't get dual monitors to work (the setup is correct in View pool options, VMX file, and video memory), though this works "out of the box" elsewhere. the main difference is the ESX (and VM hardware) versions. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Brandon

Maybe this post will help out, http://www.thatsmyview.net/2009/12/18/how-to-get-pcoip-with-view-4-to-work-every-time/. Are there any PCOIP display issues outside of the dual monitors?

After a lot of testing, (and though I don't understand it), it appears that .Net may have been the issue. Re-installing the VMware Tools and/or the VMware View agents by themselves did not help, but doing them in the order (including .Net) that the website listed did fix it, and it has worked for the last week or so.

I only hope that future updates (or versions) of .Net being installed on the parent doesn't cause any issues. but thanks for the help!
