Some issues since View 6 ?! especially printing

alexshorty — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 12:46:04 GMT

Hello guys

I have used the 5.3.3 agent for a long time, cause this was the only version which works really fine.

Since 2016 i've installed the 6.2.0 agent, and I've the same issue which I had 1 year ago with the 6.0 agent.

I do a recompose of some pools (50-100 vms).

Afterwards in some vms the users cannot print from any application (word, excel, ...) no printer is available from the application, but the printers are visible in Printers and Devices. 10 vms doesn't work 40 vms work.

In these vms I have also tried to install a new printer --> error. When I try to connect to a new shared printer I get following messages.

There cannot be found any printer or the printer connection cannot be established.

When I do a second recompose of these 10 vms, sometimes it works, when I do a 3rd of the last vms it works again.

But I've never got any error during the recompose from the whole pool.

I had the same issue 1 year ago, when I used the 6.0 agent.

I hope sb can help me.

Thank you

Alex

Windows Password GroupPolicy with thinclients do not work

alexshorty — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:58:30 GMT

hello,

sthg special....

i have a vdi infrastructure with 90% thinclients (the vm is windows 32bit)

the users only disconnect their session during the week, on fridays the users do a shut down.

i have a password policy that the users have to change their password every 90 days.

when the time e.g. expires on a wednesday, the users can connect to their virtual machines with their thinclients, but...

when they want to open the internet browser or windows browser, they got a small window to enter their user and password.

then they change their passord (with ctrl+alt+del) open the IE again and it works.

when the password expires on a sunday, while the vm from the user is offline, it works. on monday morning when they want to connect to their vm via thinclient they get the info to change the password

so i've activated a group policy: "Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration" 21 days

then the user should get the message to change the password at least 3 times.

but i think this doesn't work

perhaps sb has an idea, how i can fix this problem.

thank you.

regards alex

Hello,

I think the newest view agent v6 is definitly corrupted.

I installed the 5.3.3 agent and the snipping tool works perfect.

Have a nice day.

Corrupted VMware View 6 Agent ?! ?! ?!

alexshorty — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:01:52 GMT

Hello guys,

what is your opinion about the newest view agent.

I have many strange issues since this new agent. Blackscreens, Connection issues that there is no desktop available, sometimes printers cannot be installed (a reset or recompose solve this issue) ... ... ...

There is also a case from another guy.

Re: Black screen using snipping tool

I've tried many things and with the view agent v6 the snipping tool doesnt work

Now I'm using the agent 5.3.3 again. With this agent the snipping tool works again.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

Alexander

Additional Information:

The ticket at VMware is still open. They can reproduce the problem with IE and Snipping Tool. Then the desktop freezes. After a disconnect/reconnect > Black Screen.

I will keep you informed.

Strange issues since View agent 6.x

alexshorty — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 08:20:17 GMT

Hello guys,

since the new view agent 6.x, I have many strange issues.

I have a pool with about 150 users.

Sometimes I get:

- Bluescreens after the user tries to connect (status of the pool is "power off")

- Users are not able to print -> error message

- Some applications are not able to start (installed on the master image), office applications, lotus notes,...

there is only 1 thing that solves the problem.

A recompose.

I have only these issues since 6.x.

Thank you for help.

regards,

Alexander
