Hello all, I want to ask a question regarding intermittent VDM connection error. In particular, the error message below: "The desktop has failed to open. This desktop is currently not available. Please try connecting to this desktop again later or contact your administrator" I intermittently get this error message, when adding a new virtual desktop to the VDM Connection Broker Server, and entitling a new user to it. One method that I use to fix the connection issue, is to login locally to the virtual desktop, launch "services.msc" from Run, then restart the VMWare VDM Agent service, and logoff. After doing this, I can access the virtual desktop. I have tested with both the VDM Client 2.1 on a workstation and Wyse V10L Thin-Client terminal running the lastest BIOS. If the VDM Client cannot connect, the Wyse V10L will not connect either, and vice-versa. This is my current VMWare Infrastructure: (1) ESX 3.5.0 build 98103 host with all baseline updates (1) Virtual Center 2.5.0 build 84767 (1) VDM Connection Broker 2.1.0 build 596 (1) Virtual desktop runing WinXP Pro w/ VDM Agent 2.1 & VMWare Tools - static IP Are there any patches, fixes, or tweaks, that I can run to stabilize the connection broker server for a solid connection every time? I read on another discussion that the issue maybe DNS related, and someone suggest turning on DHCP, but specify the DNS server manually. Could it be that the connection broker server connection to the DNS server timeout after a while, or there is a refresh delay, after adding new virtual desktop to the connection broker? Thx for reading...
