View 7, Identity Manager 2.6, and Windows Authentication...and whether or nor True SSO is needed for Kerberos

I'm trying to configure our environment so that users can open the Identity Manager web page and be automatically authenticated via their current logged on domain credentials.  I've enabled Windows authentication and configured Kerberos in Identity Manager.  However, when selecting a desktop pool a prompt is still received asking for the user's password.  I've read https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2143567  and understand that may be expected behavior.  Would True SSO solve this issue?  I've read that True SSO supports Kerberos.  Is there another way?  The overall goal is to allow the user to log onto Windows and be able to access desktop pools and apps via the Identity Manager web page without be prompted for credentials again.

Dparashar, I tried the solution you provided, but we still see the same errors, though they do occur less often.  It's frustrating that the instant clone feature is so buggy.  Is it meant to just be an "experimental" feature, or does VMware actually think it can be used in a production environment?

Etamir, can you verify that the agent on your parent image is setup for instant clones and not linked clones?

Our issue is not caused by network connectivity, as the patch is already installed and there no old hidden NICs.  Also, the issue occurs with Windows 10.  Also, our pools will eventually provision correctly after retrying.  In our vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log, customization seems to be failing when running nltest.exe /sc_change_pwd with an "ERROR_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT".  There seems to be some sort of timing issue, as the machines will eventually run customization successfully.  Our AD sites are set up correctly, though we do have multiple domain controllers per site.   Linked clones work fine.  Does anyone actually have instant clones working outside of a lab environment?  VMware, anything you can add here??

We receive the following error intermittently when provisioning instant clones: Instant Clone agent initialization state error (24): Failed to update the machine group policy (waited 30 seconds) The provisioning will retry several times and eventually complete.  I've verified that our Active Directory sites/subnet, etc are configured correctly.  We don't have issues with linked clones.  Anyone experienced this issue?

Do you know the release date for the 6u1a version of the patch?

We've noticed that logons with AppStacks are much slower on ESXi 6 vs ESXi 5.5.    Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

We've noticed the same issue with Workspace and View 6.2.  Have you found a resolution?

We used that process to upload the license file that we downloaded via the My VMware site.  However, that license key seems generic and doesn't match the count we see with our own App Volumes license key.  Also, the file provided doesn't give the option to attach volumes to servers...only desktops.  We have Horizon Enterprise licensing.  I figured there would be a place to copy the actual key, rather than uploading a file.
