Need help configuring Dell FX130

I configured my vmview 4.5 server about 6 months ago and tested it with some old Dell desktops running the vmview client on them.  Everything tested fine and I haven't done much with the server since then.

Well we finally purchased our view license and a Dell FX130 thin client.  I'm having trouble with the configuration of the Dell FX130.  Does anyone know what is suppose to be entered in the "desktop name" field?  Is it suppose to be the name of one of the provisioned VM's?IMG-20120511-00081.jpg

The error message we are getting is "unable to connect to desktop" but I've checked on my vmview server and I have at least 3 desktops that have status as "available".

Have you tried entering in only the View Connection Server info? All of those other settings look as if they're used to auto login a user or auto login a user and connect them directly to a specific desktop.  Normally, all that's configured is the connection manager and domain and the user is prompted for their username and password and then they are presented with the desktop pools they are entitled too.

Yes, as ElevenB2003 said, the Desktop Name is useful if you want to avoid prompting the user with the selection of a desktop pool. The name you put in there should exactly match the display name for the pool in View.
