I assume you mean try to recapture Visio with Windows search service enabled on the packaging VM? We did try that and it did not solve the problem.  I realize that most people probably have Windows search disabled with the OSOT tool, so perhaps not many people have seen this.   Opening a ticket on it as well.

I was playing with this last week.  I think I've got it working, but haven't tested it a whole lot, and there may be better ways of doing things.  It uses the standard AppVolumes writable template.  I've combined this with the guide on VMware about how to redirect the OST: Managing OST Files with App Volumes & User Environment Manager - VMware Blogs Leave Windows Search service disabled in parent image. Create a GPO, link to the virtual desktop OU with the following settings: Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings ->Local Policies/User Rights Assignment Create Symbolic Links Specify a group that the users of the virtual desktops belong to, in the lab I just used Domain Users Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> System Services Windows Search Startup Mode: Disabled Permissions: Domain Users / Full Control Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> File System Grant Domain Users full Control to the following folders (You probably don't need all of these, but I was running into some weird issues so I included them all) %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search\Data %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System/Group Policy Configure user Group Policy loopback processing mode Enabled, Merge This is needed to run the user-based logon/logoff scripts.  You can apply them in a different OU if you'd like, and leave this setting out. User Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Logon logon.bat (below) User Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Logoff logoff.bat (below) - Not sure if this is even needed. Here are the logon / logoff scripts:     REM Logon Script @echo off rmdir /s /q C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search >> C:\Support\wsearch.log 2>&1 mkdir C:\SnapVolumesTemp\Writable\Search >> C:\Support\wsearch.log 2>&1 mklink /d C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search C:\SnapVolumesTemp\Writable\Search >> C:\Support\wsearch.log 2>&1 sc config wsearch start= demand >> C:\Support\wsearch.log 2>&1 sc start wsearch >> C:\Support\wsearch.log 2>&1 REM Logoff Script @echo off sc config wsearch start= disabled >> c:\support\wsearch.log 2>&1 sc stop wsearch >> c:\support\wsearch.log 2>&1

Hi All, Here's the situation. Base image has Office 2013 Pro Plus.  Visio 2013 was created as an AppStack afterwards from a packager VM based on the base image (with Office installed). Office works great, and the Visio appstack seems to work fine.  We had a new requirement that the Windows Search service be enabled to facilitate searches in outlook.  I noticed when the Visio appstack is attached to the VM, the "Indexing Options" button in Outlook was grayed out, and an additional section was added to "Upgrade windows search" as if it was not properly detected.  Obviously, outlook search is not working properly. If I remove the Visio appstack, everything goes back to working as expected. Any ideas?
I asked VMware support about this file (I am having the same issue) and they made it very clear not to use it in production.  apparently they are aware of the bug and do not have an ETA on a fix.

Did you install the KB3125574 convenience rollup? I found that appVolumes 2.11 installer doesn't like this.  You have to install all of the updates the old way (which takes forever).  I communicated this to the AppVolumes team @ Vmworld but haven't seen an updated installer.   My workaround in the lab was to edit the MSI and remove the reference to that patch.  I wouldn't do this in production (supportability..) See my post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/4zwdwy/fyi_appvolumes_211_doesnt_seem_to_like_the_win_7/
Is it possible to get this working with Split DNS? Or do I need to hairpin it out of the network for it to work?  This is just for a test lab environment at this point.

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. I found this article you wrote, which I think may explain my problem: Workspace Portal - Trouble Changing the FQDN - Horizon Tech Blog - VMware Blogs It was hard to find, since the error in the UI says "Error validating Identity Manager URL".  Once I was able to check the logs I found "Error validating workspace URL" which led me to your article.  I am going to try running through that in a bit and see how far I get.

So, I configured access point with the proper settings as documented in the updated manual.  However, when I connect to it, it tries to redirect me to the internal IP of the identity manager.  Any ideas why this is happening?

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like documentation for configuring Access Point 2.6 is very much not there. I notice that the documentation makes reference to it, saying that it can be used as a reverse proxy for Identity Manager, but does not tell you how to configure it, aside from listing a few REST API properties. I notice swagger.yaml makes reference to needing an activation code from Identity Manager, but no instructions on how that should be setup.  I tried a few obvious settings for the properties but nothing seems to get me anywhere. Does anyone have the complete documentation for this?
