Unable to enable composer settings

[VmCernUser]

Hi,

I have installed View manager (Connection server) on a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine which is enabled for the domain. I have installed View Composer on another machine which also runs vCenter server.

From the view manager, under "servers"; i am able to add the vCenter server but I am unable to enable view composer. It doesn't seems to get via the domain specific authentication. I checked on the services on my vCenter that view composer service is running.

Any ideas?

Do you have the view logs

I guess so. How can I check the view logs for the composer and the connection server?

Thanks

I cant remember the exact location but should be somewhere under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware on the view server

Hi,

I checked the logs for View Composer, but it only shows the status of the services running not the logging of the events (unless there is some other configuration one have to enable). So I cannot see what's going wrong from the View Manager's side when it's unable to enable the composer.

BTW, I am wondering whether this "enabling of view composer" is necessary from the View Manager. What does sort of funcationality/capability it enables??

Thanks,

Omer

View composer is only needed if you are going to use linked clones
