If you are already chatting to VMware just use my SR references above. I heard this from both engineers this morning saying pretty much the same thing. They reckon it's down to using ephemeral ports and that we should use static ports as a workaround. We've not tested this yet but I think we will as there's no telling how long we'll need to wait for U3 and if indeed it will be fixed for sure.

I've heard this morning that It looks like this will be fixed in vCenter 60U3.

I've had a couple of SR's 16952922904 to look at the vNetworking side, this has been open since early April. This week they cloned it to 16144303106 to look at the Horizon side but that went straight back. We have a good 150-200 desktops that are unusable on a daily basis as a result of this issue. We are using Horizon 6.2 with vSphere 6 U2 with ESXi 5.5 Express Patch 10

Hello guys, Did you ever get anywhere with this? We have this exact issue and I'm getting nowhere with support. Having to keep connecting the NICs on the VMs to bring them online. During and after recompose the issue is particularly bad.

Yes, that's working nicely. I never trust creating the Application files manually, so I ran it through the application profiler first. I didn't mention the fact that I also wanted it to run the other script at process close and even managed to get it to do that - thanks.

Hello, I'm looking at doing something which I thought would be straightforward but it is proving more difficult than I thought. I have created a couple of scripts, one of which I need to run when a particular executable is launched but I can't work out how to do it. I would have thought I could add a custom triggered task but they are all predefined and there are only a few to choose from. I started looking at adding a new application with the the exe defined in the DirectFlex tab and then adding the script as a Post Import task but this doesn't seem right and doesn't work anyway. Using the Personalisation tab rather than Environment seems like an unnecessarily complicated way of achieving this. Any ideas?

Okay so I can now see some entries like this: 2016-05-17 10:14:48.300 [DEBUG] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'Domain\ManagementOffice' -- falling back to group's SID 'S-1-5-21-4485387...

Okay so I can now see some entries like this: 2016-05-17 10:14:48.300 [DEBUG] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'Domain\ManagementOffice' -- falling back to group's SID 'S-1-5-21-448538723-1770547372-1801674531-130127' The groups in question don't exist, they look like short lived ones that were created as part of the project that were deleted and recreated using a different naming naming convention. Is there some sort of cache that UEM is looking up and finding items that used to exist but no longer do?

Okay thanks, I've enabled that and will report back tomorrow.

I am looking though end users UEM log files doing some troubleshooting on an unrelated issue and am seeing a lot of these errors (I've changed the group names below for publishing purposes) 2016-05-09 09:58:29.576 [WARN ] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'GROUPNAME0' -- treating as membership of group = false 2016-05-09 09:58:36.123 [WARN ] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'DOMAIN\GROUPNAME2' -- treating as membership of group = false 2016-05-09 09:58:58.450 [WARN ] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'DOMAIN\GROUPNAME3' -- treating as membership of group = false 2016-05-09 09:59:01.639 [WARN ] Conditions: Error 1332 looking up group 'DOMAIN\GROUPNAME4' -- treating as membership of group = false Now I've checked these groups against AD and indeed they don't exist so I'm not particularly surprised by the errors. The trouble is though, where is UEM picking these up from so I can strip them out of the config? There must be some typos I need to remove. We have hundreds of printers and close to 100 shortcuts and mapped drives assigned via UEM and group conditions. I've used the Notepad++ 'find in files' feature on the UEM config share but it doesn't find anything for these groups. I know the find in files works as I use for searching out UEM config anyway as there doesn't seem to be a search facility within UEM. I'm guessing these sort of things can't be helping the logon times either.

What's the deal with making UEM highly available? According to this article only the config share is supported by DFS-R and even that comes with some caveats. Is Microsoft Clustering or a Unified Storage Appliance set-up the only options?

Hello, When first asked about this I thought this would be a simple thing but I seem to be finding it incredibly difficult. Basically on the logoff button I want to see an disconnect option, not Lock (if lock remains that's fine but ideally that can go too) but I just can't seem to find any settings for it.This is what I see on an uncontrolled start menu, yes I can remove restart and turn the Shutdown into a Logoff but crucially there is no disconnect which is what I need. If I RDP onto the same Win 7 VM I get this, which is exactly what I want: So it seems that it is a PCOIP issue that it is trying to be too clever and removing stuff that I am quite capable of clearing up using Group Policy. Is this a common thing? I can't find any way to control it using the ADM templates supplied in the Horizon 6.2 download package. The above screen shots are me logged on as an admin with no user policies applying. BTW, I don't want any suggestions about using the Horizon client to disconnect or anything like that, I just want it to work like it does in RDP. Many Thanks!

I reached out to a VMware SE on this and they gave me a pretty simple resolution to this. In Personalization > Windows Settings > Create Config File > User a Windows Common Setting > Printers - Mapped network drivers only. Next, next, give it a name, job done - It works.

What we have is a non-persistent VDI solution with Horizon View 6.2 Enterprise and UEM and printers mapped via group. There will be hundreds of printers mapped via group (1 to 1 mappings) and users could be members of several groups and receive maybe five or six printers. What we want is for the end users themselves to then decide which of these printers they would like as default, set it, and for this to be remembered on subsequent logins. This is a standard requirement in normal roaming or local profile scenarios but it is not working in our environment, yes I know we could set some as default within UEM but that's not very helpful as some users will want different printers set as default depending on where they sit so it would be an impractical administrative burden. If we just let them do it themselves it's easy for all concerned. What's happening at the moment is that the printer that's higher up the list (I guess mapped first) is being mapped as default each time. I have tried various options, like removing undo at logoff (I really thought that would fix it) but it's made no difference. Is there a workaround/fix for this please?
