I'm encountering similar issue, what I notice is that network adapter is in dis-connected state for the VM under customization. Have found a fix for this issue? 1709 build, I get into this state only if I add NVIDIA GRID to the VM. it works perfectly without graphics card.

Hi can you confirm if you have upgraded view composer to Horizon 7.4 build when you hit this issue? If possible attach view log bundle from desktop machine when it fails to recompose. Follow https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2030311 to disable automated recovery if needed.

It must be that the view client traffic is going via your proxy, communication fails as proxy requires authentication. proxy allows traffic from your machine once any web page is opened by providing password. You can configure view client to bypass proxy by following steps in this KB VMware KB: Configuring VMware View Client to bypass Internet Explorer proxy settings

Hi Steve, Probably your template was part of domain and this is why you feel deployed vm is joined to domain in between the customization process. During customizstion the machine will be removed from current domain and added to the one specified in custom spec. Check your DNS settings, your DHCP provided dns for this network should be able to resolve your domain name. I faced exactly same issue last week. check sysprep logs at c:\windows\panther\unattend for more information on what is failing. regards -noble

View always supported pairing multiple security server to single connection server. What is not supported is pairing same security server to multiple connection servers. http://pubs.vmware.com/view-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.view.planning.doc%2FGUID-57D362EB-AC04-45B8-87AA-05A15A998211.html "Each security server is paired with an instance of View Connection Server and  forwards all traffic to that instance. You can pair multiple security servers to  a single connection server" -noble

You can dedicate one connection server for internal users and pair two security servers to the second connection server. When users connect from external network using PCoIP or RDP through security server, the traffic from desktop to client is handled by security servers. The paired Connection server is not involved in handling the session data. This way one connection server can be dedicated to internal users. Regards -noble

Have you checked your network/proxy settings on x64 machine?. Are you able to resolve/ping the fqdn of view cs from this machine? It is most likely that you have a proxy configured in your x64 machine. -noble

Hi, I think your solution should work as long as clients resolve CS/SS ip to the same subject name as in the certificate and connection server external URL matches the certificate subject name. using a certificate with SAN is another alternative, adding both internal and external DNS name as SAN.

ok.. I haven's faced problem with GI in domain. But if i remeber correctly vmware recomendation is not to joing GI to domain. My guess is that the local admin credentials provided in custom spec didn't work. That should be the reason direct deployment from vc also failed. -noble

As a troubleshooting step try deploying a vm from the same template using the same customization spec from vCenter manually. (using vsphere client) Check if the customization is done properly. -noble

Hi Patriz, Howe much time did you wait to see if customization starts automatically. Usually it takes few minutes. Do you have the administrator account enabled in the windows7 template. By default the administrator account is disabled in windows7. -noble
