I have viewsonice SC55 zero clients.  One of them has a LJ2420 hooked up locally via usb.  For the life of me it does not print.  I have tried the thinprint driver and same result.  I have installed the driver on the vm in use by the zero client and it does not get installed.  The only thing that works is if you you keep switching the usb port on the zero client.  But I can't have the user do this all the time.  When I unplug the usb and put it back in, it installs to the DOT4 usb printer port.  I am accessing the vm as an administrator. Am I missing something? thanks win7 32bit, view client 5.2, vmview 5.1.2, CPoIP connection, vmtools current.

I can install Access 2000 on Win7 no problem with Thinapping in a View environment. But I cannot import or export any tables in txt format.  It keeps saying error loading dll's. I've tried registering some dll's in question but nothing happens.  A full install of Access2000 on the vm works fine.  Is there something in Thinapp that needs to be done so this works? thanks.
thanks, I was able to delete all the snapshots and was able to re-size the disk.

I have a linked clone pool with a master image.  the c: drive needs to be increased because of all the updates on the master vm.  But when I power off the master vm, it is greyed out and cannot change.  I have a number of snapshots associated with the master image as well.  I have read that I need to remove or delete all the snapshots before I can increase the size, but then does that mean I lose all my changes since the first base image? thanks community for any feedback.

You mean a snapshot right?  At first I thought it might be a bad snapshot, so I created  new one with the same results.  No matter where I move the parent vm, the default location that it brings up when I try to recompose stays the same.

I move a parent vm (gold image) from one folder to another in vsphere client.  All looks ok. I go into vmview and under the pool settings I set the parent vm to the new location (pool1--edit--vcenter settings--parent vm).  I can set it here and choose a snapshot. When I go into a vm that I want to recompose (view composer--recompose).  The parent vm location that it shows is not updated to the new location.  ex: new parent vm is in /server/vm/master.  Moved FROM /server/vm when I recompose the parent vm says it's in /server/vm and erro: one of the required objects in not found in the vcenter server. If I move the parent vm back to /server/vm, a recompose works fine. Can I not move the parent vm? thanks.

when I do a provioning of a vm in a pool, it does it all the way to the end and in the view manager 4.6, the vm is stuck on customizing, and the agent version is 'unkown'. in the gold template I have installed view agent 4.6. Please can anyone help.  I cannot update any of the vm's otherwise. eventually in vmview it says customization timeout. thanks.

They are dedicated desktops in a linked clone pool.  We currently don't have thin-app licenses so am unable to do it that way.  Although it DOES sound like a good investment! The Id is not a big deal, just wondering what would happen.  Acutally, the more I read about it, in the View help it says I cannot remove the vm.  If I do it will just delete it.  I may have to convert it to a real vm out of the pool first like the other response said. Thanks.

I want to remove a vm from a linked clone pool.  The user needs too many different programs than the others and I just want to remove that 1 vm from the pool so when I recompose the pool he isn't affected. Has anyone tried doing this and how does it affect the naming convention of the pool.  Ie, the vm I want to remove is vm3 out of 10vms.  Will the next vm created in the pool still be vm11? thanks for you help.

yes, with and wihout quotes.  And capitals ans small... same result.
I just changed a setting under pool settings and it did take the change, yes.  I reverted back to original setting and it took as well. thanks for any help.
yes, I'm not changing any other settings.  by the way this is an existing pool already in use and I'm just adding something now.

In the pool settings in vmview, I put in the location of the script for post synchronization script: "c:\temp\scritp.bat".  But I cannot even save that and get this error: Yes, the script is in the mother template, or golden image, or whatever it is.  Does it only work if it's turned off?  any ideas?

I have win7 vm's and every now and then I cannot either add a network printer, or print to an existing installed network printer.  It keeps saying either the local printer spooler is not running (which it is) or the server printer spooler is not running (which it is).  These only happen in my vm's and not the other pc Win7. Does anyone have any ideas?  print server is server 2003 R2.  Most printers are regular HP ones. Even when I restart the print spooler there is no difference. thanks.

we have sunray3's accessing win7 vm's in our vsphere.  on any day there is a multitude of errors in the event log on the Vm's that state: Warning: Usb_manger::g_call_port_driver() - DeviceIoControl Failed: 6.

If I edit the local group policy of the template, and recompose the clones, will the clones get the gp? what if I change a setting in the clone machine that is diffferent from the template and then recompose?  whose gp will it have? I"m finding this a  bit hard, it the clones don't always seem the same. thanks for any help
