I am looking for ways to get Windows 8 to work with View 5.1 local mode (offline mode).
While I am able to check out the virtual desktop, start it up locally and login using a local account, there are no drivers installed for the network interface.
As a result, I am unable to login to the desktop using my domain credentials, also I can't get any network connectivity.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work? It does not have to be a supported solution... just looking for demo capability at this stage.
Did you try with the Intel e1000e nic instead of vmx3?
// Linjo
The VM is setup to use the E1000 NIC already.
I could try the VMX3 to see if that makes any difference, but given I am running this image in local mode (offline), I would expect it's the drivers for the View Client that I am missing, not the ones for the VM on the ESX host.
Surprisingly enough, it works with the VMX3 NIC.
Thanks for the tip!
