Hi Fabio, I have used the below blog to deploy office apps. In this blog it has mentioned that office activation will be done automatically. Is that something we need to use writable volumes as a mandatory. https://www.stephenwagner.com/2021/08/06/microsoft-office-365-vdi/#h-installing-office-365-with-non-persistent-instant-clones-vdi Thanks, Ram

Office 365 Apps - SignIn and Activation

ramachandrankes — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 12:41:20 GMT

Hi All, We use Instant Clone Floating assignment for the users to use desktop pools. I have installed Microsoft 365 Enterprise Apps application in the parent image and added registry key to use Shared Activation via GPO and user automatic sign to the application. I see that office application recognize my name when I open office apps inside VDI desktop but each time, it is asking me to activate office when I login the next day. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks, Ram

How many other users are in your Instant Pool and do not have the 10 minute issue? Almost I have 10 users in the instant pool and others do not have this issue. Are you calling flexengine with GPO method? Yes Are you deploying the Instant Clone machines in the OU path to get the GPO.? Yes correct. Is your base image configured to connect App Volumes manager? If it is, the base image machine name should show up in the App Volumes manager activity logs. That is usually a good sign May I know where I can see these logs?

VDI Desktop is taking 10 minutes to bring login screen. This is happening for one user alone. Also, received attached image error after login. I have already completed VMWare OSOT then only deployed as instant clone.

DEM Refresh Icon not appearing in newly created Desktop pool

ramachandrankes — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 12:19:41 GMT

Team, I have a working desktop pool where I can see that DEM Refresh shortcut for all users inside the VDI vm. I used the same snapshot and created a new desktop pool in a different name. But I am not seeing DEM Refresh shortcut in my newly created desktops. However, I can see the shortcuts created via DEM Console. Is there something missing here? Thanks, Ram

ODBC Settings for Excel

ramachandrankes — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 14:09:31 GMT

Hi Team, We have deployed MS Office 365 via parent image to all VDI desktops. We are not using Writable Volumes in App Stack. Users can edit / create excel files without any issues. I wanted to add few ODBC settings to all users to the excel data source settings. If I add once and it will disappear during user logoff. Is there a way to redirect MS office settings alone via DEM console without using writable volumes? My source Data Source Settings are getting saved in the location C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ Please let me know if you need any clarifications. Thanks, Ram

Re: VM Instant Clone Push Failed

ramachandrankes — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:57:49 GMT

Hi,

I have cloned a correct parent vm from my environment and re-added NIC card to the vm and re-joined the new parent vm to the domain and took a snapshot. Then I pushed instant clone via Horizon admin window and I was able to create desktop pool with instant clone process without any issues.

I am trying to delete the old desktop pool created on the horizon admin console, the desktop pool showing as deleting state for more than 2 hours and it is not going away from the console. Please help.

Thanks,

Ram
