Presumably this is a VM that is not managed by a View Connection Server? You should be able to set/change the following registry setting (this would automatically be updated if you were using a CS): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Node Manager\DisconnectLimitMinutes A value of -1 means immediately, a value of 0 means never. Positive values are the number of minutes to wait after the disconnect occurs. Mike

The steps you are using are correct for View 5.0 and below, as of View 5.1 we switched to using the Windows certificate store. Either follow the new documentation from the start or import the p12 file you've already created into Windows. The latter can be done by following the below steps: 1. mmc, open the certificates snapin for the local computer account 2. under personal\certificates, right click and select import 3. select the .p12 file you've created 4. enter the required password, make sure the checkbox for the key to be exportable is selected 5. right click on the new certificate, change its properties and add the 'vdm' friendly name 6. remove the friendly name from the generated self-signed certificate or delete it entirely 7. remove the locked.properties lines you had before 8. restart the service

It doesn't look like a problem with the client, trying from here gets the same result. I suspect the first problem is that the old environment isn't configured to handle TLS1.0 handshakes. Connecting with an XP client to the same server (which starts with SSLv2Hello) gets a bit further and shows "A certificate is required to complete client authentication" - so it looks like you also need to be coming from a trusted client device. This is a configuration issue with your school's environment and you will need to talk to them. Mike

> is it possible to detect inside user VM that user has connected or reconnected to his desktop and run some script ? You can run scripts as the user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See Running Commands on View Desktops. > Also is it possible inside user VM to find out if user is connected and how long? I don't think we expose this, but you should be able to query Windows for login time or you could write the last connect time with a script (perhaps this is the reason for your first question?). Mike

Users are not automatically distributed across all connection servers, you do this with a load balancer. Sessions shown in the admin UI are those in the whole View environment, not specific to the one server. Please read through the documentation for further information, the admin and architecture guides run through load balancing across servers and a mixed internal and external setup: VMware Horizon View Documentation

Yes on both counts, they need to match up so you'll have to set up additional stand-alone composer server instances or upgrade everything at once as you won't be able to share them across mixed versions of View connection servers.

The answer is on the screenshot you've posted - nothing is going through the PCoIP Secure Gateway, but software clients are still establishing a HTTP(S) Secure Tunnel connection to the connection server. This is used for the framework channel (used to transport USB for software clients) and MMR, among other things. If you want true direct connections then this should also be turned off. Please check the administration guide for more details on this setting. Mike

Ok, first off the support bundle won't be of much use when you ran it as the VM is not yet configured for a pool. It therefore won't have a set of servers to try and connect to and test. Secondly, nested inside workstation may well be your issue here. Nesting _may_ be ok if everything is set up correctly, but it also might be interfering with the ability for the desktop VM to get its configuration from the (virtual) ESX host. I assume you've set the monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE flag on your virtual ESX VMs? You're definitely well into unsupported territory but if you can get software inside the windows VM to read the machine.id field from the vmx file then everything should work (don't expect any kind of usable performance though!). You can test this by using tools: vmtoolsd --cmd "machine.id.get".

The agent will attempt to pick an IP address and report it to the connection server. Depending on how Windows presents the order of the list, it may decide to use the wrong one. For multiple NICs you should follow the below link to configure a subnet mask and ensure the right one is always selected: Configure a Virtual Machine with Multiple NICs for View Agent Mike

Sounds like it, yes. If you're using local storage for replicas then each host must have its own replica image - while each of those should in theory be identical (as a clone of the same snapshot) they're not the same file and so the digests for each must be calculated.

Same as with View 5.1.x - self signed certificates will not stop you using View, but you will see warnings in the client and in the administrator dashboard. Best practice is to move to a certificate signed by a trusted root to get rid of these. Mike

This is fine as long as they've got the firewall rules set up correctly, but I have to ask: what are they hoping to gain from this setup - is end-to-end latency lower and bandwidth higher for remote users going to the local datacenter and then going over the site link, instead of going over the internet directly to the HQ?

Sounds like you've accidentally set up a dedicated pool when you instead want a floating pool. Dedicated pools result in a 1:1 mapping of user to VM, but floating pools allow re-use of any free VM within a pool. You'll need to delete the existing one and create a new floating pool.

There is no requirement for a security server to be a domain member, those checks should only happen for the connection server or replica server role when running the installer. You will need various ports open to the connection server you're pairing with, those are detailed in the documentation under https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html
