My concern here is more that I have to stamp my name and companies name on these installs (As a VMware View Consultant) and I prefer being certain through documentation or direct VMware confirmation that what I do is correct. In the interim though the following steps appear to work for me: Deploy vFabric Postgres Virtual Appliance (Specify fixed IP Address) Manually create "horizon" user account - Using https://x.x.x.x:8443/ Manually add database "horizon" for "horizon" user account Right-Click Horizon DB->Enter SQL Code->CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS citext WITH SCHEMA public; [EXECUTE]      (You could also i suppose just add a new type under "other objects" in the GUI but the above is how i tested it from scratch) Manually create schema "saas" (Do NOT check case sensitive) under horizon schemas During Horizon Install or Afterwards enter JDBC URL = jdbc:postgresql://x.x.x.x/horizon?stringtype=unspecified SUCCESS!
Neither one appears to meets the CITEXT requirement at least upon deployment. I am unsure if there is some way to add it. EDIT: See below for what I've now tested as working from scratch.
Yes one, could that be contributing to the issue?

It would seem like it cannot be related to power settings since it also happens to an individual XP desktop that I've left powered off entirely for months now (ie. One not even part of an Automated Desktop Pool). Still reconfigures that one every 20 seconds just like the dozens and dozens of others. Its extremely annoying either way but especially to have no explanation for it.

Some benefits I saw: 1. Zero-touch Desktops - With a device like the Wyse V10L you can take it out of the box and use it as-is. DHCP option 188 provides the thin client with the connection broker to connect to and other centralized config possibilities (like an FTP server with a config file) can give the WYSE thin client all other needed settings automatically such as screen resolution and so forth. If a user or someone near them can plug in a power cable, an ethernet cable, a keyboard/mouse combo, and hit their power button... Their PC is ready to go. 2. Automatic Desktop Deployment - Since you can tell VDM to pre-provision X PC's per pool, there will always be, say, 3 new accounting PC's ready to go... All but one might be in a suspended state. When a new user grabs one another is automatically deployed. YOU DO NOTHING. 3. Centrallized Software Deployment/OS upgrade - With the linked clone technology you can switch out the base clone and all users get the updates at once and still have their own data intact. 4. Freshly Built Desktops Everytime - How many times does a fresh rebuild fix issue and/or simply help performance? You could do this everytime. Even without linked clones you can have the VM deleted each time on logofff and new ones are already ready to go. 5. RAID & Backup Protection - Its not as good as many solutions but I know way too many environments where desktop data never gets backed up. At least this way its RAID protected on your SAN with Global Hot Spares and so forth. Even permenantly checked out Offline VDI sessions can be backed up periodically (requires end user to click a button)... 6. Easy DR Integration - DR is so much easier if your key desktops also come over with your other important data. Saves tons of time. 7. Security Benefits - No issue now with stolen desktops/thin clients. Less issue with stolen laptops. All data is centrally located, etc. Those are just what come to mind at the moment...Im sure I missed many.

I've created an automated persistant desktop pool, automated non-persistant desktop pool, and an automated persistant desktop pool using linked clones. This was in a lab environment and is not currently being used by anyone. Yet, all the automatically deployed VMs are now constantly reconfiguring themselves. That seems very strange to me? Any thoughts?
