Hi there,
today we have upgraded our View enviroment from View 4.0 to View 4.5
(View Connection Server 4.5, View Composer 2.5, View Agent 4.5, vSphere 4 Update 2, Windows 7 Client, Windows Small Business Server 2003 DC)
Standalone Desktops are working correctly
Linked Clone Desktops showing following error: View Composer agent initialization state error (18): Failed to join the domain
The desktops must not join the domain because there already joined (Deployed about a half year ago with View Composer 2)
So how can this error occur? How can we solve this error?
I have tried this solution: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1613937 but it didn´t worked for me.
I have checked domain settings, reinstalled agent, rebooted all systems -> nothing helps
Thanks for your answers
Hello,
did u do the following:
1. while creating the parent image connect it to the domain
2. after connecting the parent image to the domain did u shut down the parent vm and then take the snapshot
Hello,
1. parent image is joined to domain
2. yes, i have shut down the parent vm and taked the snapshot
But this all was about a half year ago, with view composer 2 and view agent 4.
My problem at the moment is following:
If i upgrade the vm´s to view agent 4.5 it shows following error: View Composer agent initialization state error (18): Failed to join the domain
If i uninstall view agent 4.5 and install view agent 4 again to the vm´s, it works without any problems
we also meet this problem....
I have seen this with Windows XP and 2008 domains. Had to install the RODC patch: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944043/en-us
Documented on pg 296 of the View 4.6 administration guide: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view-46-administration.pdf
You don't have the correct components to fit the bill but hopefully it will assist?
Have you tried with View 4.6 components?
are you using the quickprep option? I had the problem when the master image was joined to the domain. When I changed the master image to workgroup evrything went fine.
Have you followed the steps in www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_upgrade_guide.pdf
For a linked clone pool, you can not reinstall agent in each clones.
You should create a new snapshot with 4.5 agent then perform a new pool creation or recompose operation.
refer upgrade doc for detailed info

thks, my client is XP and Win7,the AD is windows 2003.i have patched both xp and 2k3.the error still apears
Have you added domain settings for viewcomposer while enabling view composer on View?
sorry! i find not other domain setting for composer.
when enable the composer,there is just an adding the domain(with the a account) setting
I have seen this before in our system.... The issue we had was composer was having issues removing the old desktop entry in AD for some of our View desktops. The fix was to delete the View desktops then go into AD and remove desktop entry from the OU. Then regeneate and things worked fine (and yes we use quick prep). Also, with Win7 make sure you have KMS server and that your base image has activated.
