I need help.
I have a trial of Horizon 8 and the licensing they provided is for :
- VMware vCenter Server 7 Standard for Horizon
- vSphere 7 Enterprise Plus for Desktop
- Horizon Enterprise
- VMware vSAN 7 Enterprise per Concurrent User
- VMware Workspace ONE Access
- VMware ThinApp Client
- VMware ThinApp Virtualization Packager
i have a windows 2022 server with the 2309 Horizon Administrator.
i had ESXI 8 on my m640s but have downgraded because of this error to 7U3.
i have went through many tutorials on getting this done but no one addresses the error
"Cannot add XXXXXX because a VM with this name already exists. Enter a unique name for this pool/farm."
I quite literally have 1 VM on the 2 blades in the cluster and they are clean loads.
i went through the wizard, and this is the final config on the last page.:
