AppVolumes - Logs off if error

ntrippcig — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 20:42:43 GMT

I am running into a scenario where I don't want app volumes to mount to particular machines. I excluded them but even though the system logs shows it is skipped it I get a pop up that appvolumes might be mounted to another machine. If I click ok it logs me off.

I am running 2103. How do I let the user stay logged on if there are errors?

Also it's excluded so why is it complaining?

Horizon Agent Silent Install on Physical Machines

ntrippcig — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 16:54:17 GMT

We are using Horizon on some physical machines. They are already registered (required admin of horizon to install with registration switch). Shouldn't we be able to bulk deploy? We use SCCM. Works great for VDI but physical machines keep failing.

Windows Hello Horizon

Is there a way to get Windows Hello working with face recognition with Horizon 2106? Windows in my VDI reports my camera is not supported but it is a supported Surface camera.

Agent is installed. The machines don't show in Inventory or Registered machines. I can Add from GUI so I am looking for the REST call to replicate that GUI function.

Re: Horizon REST Call: /inventory/v1/desktop-pools/{id}/action/add-machines

ntrippcig — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 13:53:06 GMT

That does return list of machines, but only ones that are already registered in pools.

Re: Horizon REST Call: /inventory/v1/desktop-pools/{id}/action/add-machines

I just tried the add-machines call and that is complaining that the machine is not found in the VC:

{

"id": "XXX",

"status_code": 404,

"error_messages": [

"Could not find machine on VC"

"timestamp": 1635870204537

}

]

I've tried by VM name and by the VM ID in vcenter. Is there some other designation I should be using? When I click add in vcenter they are there.

ntrippcig — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 21:17:55 GMT

it's a manual persistent pool. Users have been connecting to these desktops remotely over vpn/rdp and want to keep the desktop but start using Horizon. They are entitled to the pool by group but I want to add the machine and assign a user to a specific machine because that's where their profiles and apps are.

How about add-machines-by-name:

/inventory/v1/desktop-pools/{id}/action/add-machines-by-name

That's actually what I was trying first. I don't see any other calls that can do the user assignment.

Horizon REST Call: /inventory/v1/desktop-pools/{id}/action/add-machines

ntrippcig — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 16:09:13 GMT

Making a call and I have the pool ID correct and post the body in JSON:

[

{

"name": "XXXXXXXXX",

"user_id": "S-XXXXXXXXXXXX"

}

]

get this response:

{

"status": "BAD_REQUEST",

"timestamp": 1635764411101,

"error_message": "Desktop pool should be specified naming type"

}

Documentation says to send exactly what I am sending. What gives? what is this "Desktop pool should be specified naming type"

I have set an admx setting to redirect the OST for Outlook but it is not taking affect. Why wouldn't this be working?

New-ContentlibraryItem from template and include advanced configuration. In the GUI it's just a check box but in powercli I cannot find a parameter to keep the template advanced configuration properties.

Unfortunately no change. I have an SR case open but they have had it for weeks now and nothing has come from it.

Re: Client Drive Redirection is Slow to Start

ntrippcig — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 13:06:46 GMT

It can take forever with just a single small file.

I have tried direct to connection server without UAG. Tunnel is off on connection servers (it has to be to use UAG).

I tested RDP vs Blast and even PCoIP. RDP works fine. Blast and PCoIP trash.

RDP through the UAG was also good. Whatever VMWare is doing in their implementation is causing the issue

Client Drive Redirection is Slow to Start

ntrippcig — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 13:42:19 GMT

Have a new Horizon environment and seeing some strange behavior. When using client drive redirection we are often seeing the file copy process take 10 - 20 minutes to even start. Once started the copy speed appears in normal range. VMWare claims that they just tunnel the RDP client drive redirection protocol and support has not had anything useful.

I am able to reproduce using both a UAG on internal network and connecting through only connection servers.

If I RDP directly to the VDI machine the issue does not happen.

If I use RDP protocol through horizon client the issue does not happen.

We have seen this with UAG 2106 and 2103 (we had to downgrade because of a TCP deadlock bug). Connection servers are on 2103 (just brokering) and Horizon Agent 8.1,8.2,8.3. Using Horizon client 8.00 and also tested latest 8.3

VDIs using Instant clone and OSOT Tool - Explorer needs manual refresh

ntrippcig — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 14:20:52 GMT

Basically when users copy files around using explorer they need to manually refresh to see the files. What setting needs to be re-enabled? This is super annoying and def not behavior I want.
