Re: Horizon Cloud on Azure - Unable to register Active Directory

kgsivan — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 04:35:35 GMT

DNS picked during Azure Smartnode deployment, will be used to resolve the AD domain configuration (Even if you have provided the right DNS at the time of configuring DOMAIN

So, It is better to redeploy the POD with the right DNS pointed to Onprem AD in the Azure VNET. Otherwise, contact VMware support to Reset the domain configuration for your account and rebuild it.

>> Now I want to register an additional on-prem Domain to use real users. I´ve create the gateway subnet in the same VNet where the management, service and DMZ subnets are but I´m not sure if this is correct and I should create the whole VPN stuff in a separate VNet and then a new peering to my management, service and DMZ VNet like I see in the examples in the documentation.

The above may not be the right approach (Technically it will work provided there is a right transit peering). Instead, you can plan to have a Virtual WAN and Spoke VNETs attached to it. This way the traffic over VPN will be optimised, and also can scale up with additional VNETs connecting to the HUB VNET, without having VPNs set up each and every time.

Re: C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log file is not present on instant clone VM with Horizon View 7.11

kgsivan — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 04:17:04 GMT

The View Composer Guest Agent log is located in the Windows Temp directory on the linked-clone desktop at:

%system_drive%\Windows\Temp\VMware\vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log

This log should record the start and end time of script execution and contains output or error messages.

Have you enabled VMware View Script Host service on the horizon 7 desktop virtual machine image?

Re: How to add an additional reboot after joining to domain

kgsivan — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 03:54:02 GMT

You can have the reboot injected using post-synchronization scripts adn initiate a reboot using vbs command file. However, this reboot will happen after entire customization (not just after the domain join) and the agent status became "ready"

If that helps ,refer Running QuickPrep Customization Scripts

Horizon Cloud Azure has now lot of fixes and improvements. When. you proceed the workflow "import a VM from market place" using horizon administrator console, it will prepare the VM automatically that is ready for publish.

Re: changing replica vm network settings

kgsivan — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:16:40 GMT

For this, you need to recompose from a new snapshot, which will have required nic settings. Because once deployed, replica VM gets locked for any further modification, due tot he fact that all the clones are dependent on it.

But if you are looking for changing the network label of clones, then Replica-Vm's nic settings can be ignored.

Re: View 6: Minimum number of ready machines during Composer operations not working

kgsivan — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 06:20:44 GMT

Hi nzorm,

The READY doesn't actually implies the desktop status. Theoretically, it just mean that it is ready to accept connection requests. Having said that, the READY state is in context within the system, to ensure if it is in pair with connection broker.

To some extent, I agree that the in-line help or documentation may lead to confusion about to expected behavior of its functionality.

However, if you go through the view administrator guide,

Page 78, "Keeping Linked-Clone Machines Provisioned and Ready During View Composer Operations"

Fourth bullet says:

" The term "ready" applies to the state of the linked-clone virtual machine, not the machine status that is displayed in View Administrator. A virtual machine is ready when it is provisioned and ready to be powered on. The machine status reflects the View-managed condition of the machine. For example, a machine can have a status of Connected, Disconnected, Agent Unreachable, Deleting, and so on."

Drive mapping happens per user session.

That means the second user who connects to same RDS server, will not be able to see first users network mapping.

Whether group policy has been updated across domain and members for the OU ?

If not try running "gpupdate /force" or reboot

Re: How to add RDS host to existing Farm

kgsivan — Mon, 01 Jun 2015 07:25:46 GMT

This is very simple.

First you prepare new RDSH agent by installing agent on necessary servers <-- Now you will have RDSH agents ready for addition

Now login to View Administrator, from left inventory, Click Farms

Select the form in which you wish to add another RDSH servers

Select the "RDS Hosts" tab the click Add

Listing some potential check points below:

Need to ensure the host (vSphere) servers can access to both Source datastore (Where template resides) and Destination Datastore (Targeted for Desktop provisioning). You shouldn't be using local datastores within a cluster
Ensure vCenter custom Specs are valid and not altered/renamed in between
From vCenter Server, try to deploy a a VM from a template using a custom spec. and check whether it works fine or not.

Mostly this may not be a problem in Horizon.

Please check the datastore status in vSphere

Re: VMware Horizon Client 'Login as current user' Not Working After Reimaging Workstation

After re imaging, does it miss any windows updates ?

I guess After re-imaging, windows updates will run in the background to fix certificate vulnerabilities and hot patches.

If I understand your question correctly you need to add all view servers certificate root ca to its trusted certificate.

One way could be list based provisioning., where you need to provide list of names instead on a pattern

Hi iforbes

Sorry for my comment; because for a traditional datastore change, there is no certified way without OS disk being refreshed, is that what I meant

From your original question, it was not clear to me that this is related to a VSAN datastore. With Software Defined Storage, yes definitely are ways...
