Hi bigal80ak Make sure the user account with which you are trying to install client, has full control over /etc/hosts file on the win7 machine and there is no lock set on the file. Sometimes AV sets a lock on the file hence it is good to disable AV and try again after making sure the user has full control on hosts file.

Hi Travis_83 You can refer to thread Automation of Windows Updates for Templates  which has detailed powerCLI script to automate the task of updating parent VMs. Snippet from the thread: The Tasks involved: Convert template to VM, Power On VM, run Windows Update remotely, reboot VMGuest, shut VM down and finally convert back to template. What's required on Templates: Server 2008/2012 Templates need to be running PowerShell v.3 minimum but v.4 is highly recommended. PowerShell 4 for 2008 server can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40855 The Windows Update PowerShell Module needs to be installed on your templates. Can be downloaded from here: Script Windows Update PowerShell Module Note: This Windows Update Module includes the Get-WUInstall PowerShell command which is the one used to install patches remotely. Here's what is working for me: # Connect to vCenter Connect-VIServer "vCenterServer" # Convert template to VM Set-Template -Template W2K12Template -ToVM -Confirm:$false -RunAsync Start-sleep -s 15 #Start VM - I've seen some converted templates that prompt with the VMQuestion, so adding the command to answer with the default option was my response to it. Start-VM -VM W2K12Template | Get-VMQuestion | Set-VMQuestion -DefaultOption -Confirm:$false Start-sleep -s 45 #Create variables for Guest OS credentials - This is needed for the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet to be able to execute actions inside the Guest. #If you don't want to enter the Guest OS local administrator password as clear text in the script, follow the steps on following link to create a file and store it as an encrypted string: Using PowerShell credentials without being prompted for a password - Stack Overflow $Username = "administrator" $OSPwd = cat C:\Scripts\OSPwd.txt | convertto-securestring $cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $OSPwd #The following is the cmdlet that will invoke the Get-WUInstall inside the GuestVM to install all available Windows updates; optionally results can be exported to a log file to see the patches installed and related results. Invoke-VMScript -ScriptType PowerShell -ScriptText "Get-WUInstall –WindowsUpdate –AcceptAll –AutoReboot" -VM W2K12Template -GuestCredential $Cred | Out-file -Filepath C:\WUResults.log -Append Start-sleep -s 45 #Optionally restart VMGuest one more time in case Windows Update requires it and for whatever reason the –AutoReboot switch didn’t complete it. Restart-VMGuest -VM W2K12Template -Confirm:$false #On a separate scheduled script or after a desired wait period, Shutdown the server and convert it back to Template. Shutdown-VMGuest –VM W2K12Template -Confirm:$false –RunAsync Start-sleep -s 120 Set-VM –VM W2K12Template -ToTemplate -Confirm:$false Please mark the reply as helpful/answered if this helps you.

Do you have SAML enabled on connection servers or are you are using TrueSSO in the environment? Go to View admin page > servers > connection servers > edit > authentication. If it is enabled and set to required or workspace mode, users have to login through workspace portal only otherwise you will get this error. Other than that make sure there are no certificate issue on any of the servers in environment and they all are in timesync.

Hi cerede2000 Perhaps the script is not being called in secure way. Specify below path in post-customization script under pool setting and try again: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\script\start.bat Make sure start.bat is placed under C:\script folder on master image. Also if you run the script manually on master image manually, how long it takes to run?  By default, ClonePrep terminates a script if the execution takes longer than 20 seconds. You can increase this timeout limit. For details, see Increase the Timeout Limit for ClonePrep and QuickPrep Customization Scripts. Alternatively, you can specify a script that runs another script or process that takes a long time to run.

Hi mdickerson419 Make sure you are logged in to view admin page using connection server local FQDN name, not through any DNS URL. Test again, if issue still persist, this could be a permission limitation. Just to isolate the problem,add horizon account you are logged in to horizon view, under vcenter administrators group and try again. If issue still persist,you can enable TRACE logging on view connection server and reproduce the problem , simultaneously check debug log in that connection server (VMware Knowledge Base )

Hi balag2018 Do you mean user account is getting locked? Can you reproduce the issue outside horizon? Means take a normal RDP session to the RDSH machine and see if problem can be recreated.

Hi RachelW Yes you have to clean or remove existing chrome.zip files from archives so that new config settings can apply going forward. No need to clean backups as they are not imported at the time of logon.They are kept just in case you want to restore any application's archive folder.
