Will the metadata indexing files be saved in appdata(roaming profiles) or is it saved locally on the computer?

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It seems this is a common problem. Doesn't any else got any related issues??&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It breaks a some user friendliness when users need to close the whole View client to get a new desktop, if not they only get a local administer user logon. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Seems the credentials is not passed to the new desktop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;NB: We also use F5 as loadbalancing cluser with persistent rule to the last logged on connection server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I have managed to execute Excel 2013 that configures add-in from a Thinapp virtual bubble.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This was done my creating a shortcut to Excel during pre-scan and local installation. I placed the shortcut under start-menu\programs and named it "Excel 2013 Applicationname".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also added these entries into package.ini:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 67.5px; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 67.5px; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=EXCEL.EXE;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 67.5px; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I then got a entrypoint to the locally installed excel.exe and when I start it from a virtualized session it loads the add-in. yeah!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;BUT this has a big shortcoming..:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You need to start local Excel from Thinapp entrypoint to start it into the virtual bubble so that it can "see" the add-in. but we want the add-in to be made available from the original Excel shortcut residing on the baseline image and the shortcut on the standard start menu.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And you also need to keep the Excel process that are in the virtual bubble alive, if you want that Excel also loads the add-in from the normal shortcut.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So here comes the question:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Is it any possibility to make the add-in &lt;/SPAN&gt;available&lt;SPAN style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 10pt;"&gt; already from logon or keep a hidden Excel session / virtual bubble alive so that users can just start Excel from the standard shortcut while the add-in is automatically included/loaded ?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or is it any possibility use Thinapp SDK to script a call to the SDK DLL library and make it available for the whole virtual OS?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope you understand me,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have the following solution:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;VMware Horizon View 5.3.1&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Non-persistent Linked-clone pool with delete VM after logoff&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Windows 8.1 Update 1 Enterprise 64 bit&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;MS Office 2013 32-bit installed on image&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Thinapps registered for each user from logonscript with thinreg.exe command. Thinapps is located on a network share&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Native Windows roaming profiles with appdata/roaming, appdata/local without appdata/locallow(persona management does not support Windows 8.1 in View 5.3.1)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is our issue:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have a 3rd party application with a couple Thinapp entrypoints(exe files) and in the Thinapp package process we also installed Office addins. We tested that the Add-ins was opened inside Outlook, Word and Powerpoint before post installation scan.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem is that the add-ins is not added to Office 2013 before or after the Thinapp is started on a test client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;I have tried several changes in the package.ini and virtual filesystem attributes(no registry changes yet):&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Package.ini:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=WINWORD.EXE;EXCEL.EXE;POWERPNT.EXE;OUTLOOK.EXE;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=External&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=excel.exe;outlook.exe;powerpnt.exe;winword.exe&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;DirectoryIsolationMode=Merged&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;RegistryIsolationMode=Merged&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have also read that you could make entrypoints to the locally installed Office 2013, but I get errors on the build process. ref. link: &lt;A class="vt-p" href="http://edwinfriesen.nl/content/?p=105#comments" title="http://edwinfriesen.nl/content/?p=105#comments"&gt;http://edwinfriesen.nl/content/?p=105#comments&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The best thing would be if the add-ins were added in the logon process together with thinreg.exe, but if that is not supported, the add-ins must be added to Office either in a custom Office shortcut/entry point or after starting the Thinapp virtual application.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Remember that the application needs to registered every times the user logon, because we use a non-persistent View pool.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would really appreciate if somebody could tell me how to add Office add-ins from inside a Thinapp virtual application/package to a locally installed MS Office 2013 suite on a Windows "base" image?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We do not want to add the whole Office suite to the Thinapp virtual package and not add the add-ins trough GPO,SCCM etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The latency is not poor and if its a timing issue then I think this solution will have been doomed. Because latency in original timing when testing will change drastically in working hours etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone who have implemented this kind of solution before and experienced the same issues?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can this be fixed in someway by "locking" the user profile until its finished synchronizing on log off and not allow new connections until it has finished?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also we see that the desktop the user logged off is deleted after log off and the user get assigned a new computer, but this computer doesn't "forward" the user credentials and automatically log in to the new desktop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or will this work better with persona management? anyone?:smileyconfused:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are experiencing a problem that we can't find any answer for yet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have View 5.3.1 with Windows 8.1 x64 Update 1 on a floating linked clone pool.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When the users log off the desktop, the desktop is deleted immediately as configured in the pool configuration. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We use Windows roaming profiles, since View 5.3.1 doesn't support Persona management on Windows 8.1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When a standard AD user connects to View with View Windows client, they normally just log on and nothing is wrong.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But in scenarios when the user needs to rapidly log off and on again we are experiencing two issues.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. When the user try to log on to after just logged off from another session/desktop we get this message:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="viewagentreports.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53961i334F07D2274B2F69/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="viewagentreports.JPG" alt="viewagentreports.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possibly to avoid this message and confuse users? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. After the users waits approx 2 minutes, he/she can log on again, but sometimes View doesnt log on the user to the new desktop assigned to the user. Instead the user get the standard local administrator user and wants you to type the password for this account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have also disabled restart and shutdown buttons in Windows by GPO, but these functions are available when this happens. This is because the users doesnt get policies from a GPO in the user OU. It seems that View try log on the user with local administrator account instead of the normal AD user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this something with the roaming profile not synced properly in the logoff procedure ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please help:)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
