Linked clone pool is taking too much time

[rahulgarg]

I am trying view 7.5 in my home lab.

With windows 10, linked clone pool of 200 VM is taking forever (it went for 12 hours), even after that few VMs were in the Error/Agent Unreachable state.

While I dont see the problem with Instant clone.

I know that Instant clone is faster, but Linked clone cant take so much time.

I also tried to do the pool creation in batch of 50 VMs. And I was able to create 200 VM in around 45 minutes.

So I am wondering, am I missing any setting here ?

This is hard to tell without any further info.

What is exactly the status of the Machines in View Admin? Please klick on the "..." behind the error.

Do your VMs have the correct DNS Name?

Have the computer accounts been created in the AD Structure?

Have the created VMs the correct windows license activated (use of KMS is supported - MAK only with Skiplicenseactivation RegKey!)

Are you using Quickprep oder Sysprep?

If using Sysprep i would check the Panther logs for more information. Maybe there are some windows apps blocking the sysprep.

What Horizon Version / Agent are you using exactly with what Windows 10 Version?

Horizon 7.5 Agent is not supported with Win10 1809 AFAIK.

Hi Andreas,

It seems the problem was with "message security mode".

Once I changed it from Enhanced to Enabled.

Pools started creating normally.
