Hey guys, maybe someone could help me. We are running horizon 7.3.1 and Windows 10 1703 with instant clones and persistent disks. Now we have the problem that users loosing their mapped printers very sporadically during the login. This happens maybe 1 of 15 logins. Any login process take very much cpu usage for printisolationhost.exe and spoolsv.exe for around 5 mins and the printer mapping takes very long.  On my testaccount I had just mapped 3 printers. The printers are mapped locally from a printserver. Thin Print is not installed and its not used. Has anyone an idea where the problems come from? Thanks! regards Alex

hey guys, we are using Horizon 7.3.1 and have build a static pool with persistent disks for profile. We have also a 3rd disk configured for temporary files. We are running windows 10 enterprise build 1703. Now we have a bunch of user which has the issue in the topic. Ive researched the problem and found a lot of articles with broken user profiles. The strange thing in our enviromnent is that this is not the problem. The ntuser.dat file seems ok. The file is around 2MB. If you restarting the virtual machine, the login works fine again, but the problem occurs again if you logout and login again. We also using UEM, but do not roam anything. We are just using the folder redirection for the documents folders and the desktop and we are setup some user profile setttings for applications with UEM. Does anyone has an idea whats wrong here?

Hey guys, Ive a weird problem and hope to find help here. we are using VMWare Horizon 7.3.1 build-6760913 with View Agent 7.3.1.6761322. Its a linked Clone Pool and using Windows 10 1703. We are using UEM and have modified the installation with the vmware optimization tool. We used the template from loginvsi. Now everytime if the system locks the screen for inactivity, its not possible to unlock the system. You will see the splashscreen with the clock. The time is current, the system is not hanging! If you press strg+alt+del you will see a blue background and nothing happens. Its also not possible to log in to the console session over the vsphere client. The system shows only a black screen. The only way to get out is to disconnect the session and go to the view admin page to make a logoff. The user cant get out of the session. Has someone else a problem like this and has an idea to troubleshoot this? My problem is that i dont get any access to the machine and after logoff the system is refreshing. Thanks for any help! best regards Alex

Hey guys, I want to ask you about your handling the windows 10 default built-in apps. After we couldnt get a stable working solution to roam the startmenu with Windows LTSB, ive decided to switch to Windows 10 Enterprise 1703. Now im trying to remove the built in apps. Firstly i tried the vmware customization tool to get this done, but we are using linked clones with uem with a dynamic assignment and in this case the used method of the customization tool and the default templates is not working, because its just remove the apps for the current user. So now im trying to remove the apps with powershell and uses this script: $AppsList = "Microsoft.3DBuilder","Microsoft.BingFinance","Microsoft.BingNews","Microsoft.Getstarted","Microsoft.SkypeApp","Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection","Microsoft.BingSports","Microsoft.ZuneMusic","Microsoft.ZuneVideo","Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub","microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps","Microsoft.Office.OneNote","Microsoft.windowsphone","Microsoft.people","Microsoft.XboxApp","Microsoft.Office.Sway","Microsoft.Messaging","Microsoft.WindowsStore","Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp","Microsoft.OneConnect" ForEach ($App in $AppsList) {     $Packages = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $App}     if ($Packages -ne $null)     {         "Removing Appx Package: $App"         foreach ($Package in $Packages) { Remove-AppxPackage -package $Package.PackageFullName }     }     else { "Unable to find package: $App" }     $ProvisionedPackage = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Where-Object {$_.displayName -eq $App}     if ($ProvisionedPackage -ne $null)     {         "Removing Appx Provisioned Package: $App"         remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename $ProvisionedPackage.PackageName     }     else { "Unable to find provisioned package: $App" } } I used this guide to just remove the provisioned apps and not the system apps: Remove Builtin Apps from Windows 10 reference image | deploymentparts The script is working fine, after I run this script and do some other modification new users get a clean startmenu. My problem is now to get sysprep working, if im trying to create a pool now, sysprep fails. Is there anyone who get this working and if so, how? Thanks! regards Alex

Sry guys, ive to push this topic again. Im still using the configuration as i described in my last post. Mostly this is working, but on 1 of 3 login tries, the start button is still without function. In this case the login time is very long, over 30 seconds. if im logout and login again, the startmenu is working again. Is someone with the same problem in this szenario? I would like to prefer to use Windows LTSB, but thinking about to change to 1703. thanks! best regards Alex

Hi there, has anyone an overview which components talks to active directory and which ports are used? I can only find this pdf: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-7-end-user-computing-network-… Ive here a vlan for the horizon infrastructure, a vlan for my ad server and a vlan for my vdi's. If im trying to create a pool, im getting this error: So ive tried to find out whats this means and think its trying to contact the domain controllers over rpc. But this ports are open and working. Is there anywhere a documentation where i can see the requirement communication between horizon view components and active directory? thanks! best regards
