vmwsci.dll causing applications to crash

May 1, 2015, 12:55 pm

I'm testing View Horizon 6.0 and have come up with a weird issue.

 

My VMs applications (Internet Explorer, Media Player, ....) keep crashing when I close them stating that the Application stopped working.

 

In Windows event viewer Application log and Event ID 1000 is raised, stating the application crashed trying to unload the module vmwsci.dll

 

Looking at the vmwsci.dll, it is from VMware .  Description states that is VMware Horizon View Agent PCoIP Smart Cart Interception DLL.

 

The thing is that when I installed the agent, I didn't install the smart card portion of the agent, so why is the dll still installed?

 

Also, if I rename the dll. to vmwsci.dll.000, the VM works perfectly fine.

 

any Ideas?

Has anyone disabled TLS 1.0 and only enabled 1.2 for their connection servers? Our compliance people want this to happen, we already have 1.2 enabled but haven't disabled TLS 1.0 yet.

Vmware Horizon View Agent Upgrade.

Hello Guys,

 

I just wanted to ask if someone had encounter issues upgrading vmware view agent on the base image?. We just upgraded our view environment from version 5.2 to version 6.0.0 and I'm seeing error:1920  while upgrading two of our base image. I was able to upgrade the rest of the base image with no issues though. I'm not sure if this KB VMware KB: VMware View Agent fails to uninstall still applies to version 6.0.0 since if I disable vmware view composer guest agent server service, It wont let windows firewall start since its dependent to this service and view agent 6.0.0 needs firewall to be started to install.

 

I would really appreciate any response.

 

TIA.

Horizon View error "Smart Card or Certificate authentication is required" and missing PIN prompt

Please help, I have created an AD domain controller and added my CAC card root and intermediate certs to the NT Auth store, followed KB 2013044, making sure I extracted the certs in the correct format, placed them in a folder and ran the command line to generate my keystore and create my locked.properties file.  My parent and floating pool images all have the certs installed and the view agent with pcoip smart card enabled.  If I set View Connection server setting to required I get "... authentication is required" and optional never prompts me for the PIN.

 

There is no error messages in the VDM log from my client machine, and if I access the VM using RDP with my CAC in, I get prompted for my PIN, and I am able to successfully log into the workstation.  I have rebooted my DC and the View Connection Server but still get the same error messages.

 

What other steps can I try or am I missing?

Recompute Virtual Disk Digest

I am currently running Horizon View 6.0.0 build-1884746. I am constantly seeing  tasks for "Recompute Virtual disk digest". In ALL of my desktop pools, the blackout periods are set (Mon-Fri 6:00 - 18:00), yet this has been continuously happening DURING the blackout period. As I write this post, this process has occurred 100 times, yet there are only 38 virtual machines running on this server. In addition, there are only 3 templates on this server.

 

The blackout period started at 6:00 this morning, and the first "Recompute Virtual disk digest" started at 6:44:41. Please see attached pictures showing the scheduled blackout periods (Desktop pools.png) and the task list from vSphere showing when the processes started (vSphere.png).

 

Thanks!

CAC Certificate Preference / Identity Preference on Mac

May 4, 2015, 8:51 am

I originally posted this in the Horizon forum, but realized I may have put it in the wrong place.

 

Is it possible to use Keychain Access Identity Preferences to configure the Horizon View Client to select a predetermined certificate/username and password when connecting to a server?

 

For example, if I am attempting to connect to a server, the application will get the log-in information from the Keychain and process, or at least pre-fill the username or select a certificate that is setup within Keychain.

 

I know this is pretty simple to do for a web site, but did not know if this is supported with Horizon View Client.

 

There is the setting to remember the credentials within the Horizon View Client app, but since there are multiple certificates on the smart card I need to use, there is a warning that it won't work; which is why I'm looking into the feasibility of setting this up through Keychain.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I can't seem to find the documentation on what OS is supported to be installed on a 5.3 Connection Server/Composer/Security Server. Can someone point me to this or let me know if 2012 R2 is supported as the base operating system for this? Also if there is min. requirements for mem/cpu that would be great as well.

 

Thanks!

Horizon View VM locked and then RDP disconnects

May 5, 2015, 8:10 am

I have a user who normally uses a zero client (HP t310 specifically).  He locks his workstation (thin client) and goes away.  When he tries to get connected to his VM via RDP it disconnects him.

 

It should be noted that Teradici reported an issue that sounded almost exactly like this one with their PCoIP Workstation Access Software that is resolved in the 2.0 GA.  (bug 21129)  The problem is that we're not using the Workstation Access Software so this has to be somewhere else.  I've attached his zero client logs.

 

Some additional info:

View Agent is 6.0.2.2331487

Connection Server 6.0.1.2088845

ESXi version 5.5.0, 2456374

Virtual Display adapter VMware SVGA

Windows 7 Professional


Thanks,

Time Zone Changing

We have an issue with Horizon View, Thin Clients, and Imprivata that we need some help with.  Some of our VM's in the pool are reporting a time change (from Central to Pacific time).  One Pool of roaming computers and the only ones that seem to be affected are the one that have SSO and the ones accessing the pool from a Windows Embedded Thin Client.  It's ot even all of them.  We can change teh Time zone back to Central and it seems to get changed back.  We do this on the Thin client and the VM but it seems to always change back.  Here is the question that I have. If the Time Zone change changes on teh thin client how does the VM change?  Isn't the VM time zone set from the Master image?  These computers are in the operating room so time is critical.  We are looking at all options but thought i would start here.  Any info or comments are welcome.  Thanks

USB Redirection not working

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop where USB Redirection isn't working when logging in using Horizon View Client. I have tried 3.3, 3.2, 3.0 and even 2.3.3 of Horizon View Client on the laptop. The first time I installed 3.2 USB Redirection was available, however once I reconnected it wasn't working.

 

We are using View Agent 5.3 on our virtual machines.

 

I have tested a laptop with Windows 7, View Client 3.3 and USB Redirection works. I also used another laptop with Windows 8.1 and View Client 3.3 and USB Redirection works on it.

 

Is there a setting on the laptop and I'm missing that could be left even though I uninstall the View Client? I have made sure UAC is turned off. I also turned off the firewall to see if that was causing any issues. Any ideas?

Bluetooth Redirection with Imprivata

We are expanding out VDI environment and at the same time we are implementing Imprivata into the mix.  We have a bunch of mobile stations that will travel between patient rooms that have hand held scanners attached to them.  I tested out one laptop with the latest client and View and teh redirection seems to work just fine.  However, the vendor that we have to go thru to use Imprivata is only capable of using View client 5.4.  Redirection works on that version but the scanner needs setup each time it opens a new desktop.  That requires scanning in the code to the new desktop and we can't have users doing this every time.  Was curious if there is some type of work-a-round that would rectify this issue.  Any questions or comments are welcome.  Thanks

HTML Access Questions and Oddities.

May 7, 2015, 6:22 am

First question is when I click on the menu bar along the top on an html access desktop, I only have the Disconnect option and not Disconnect and Log off. Is it no longer an option in Horizon 6 or do i need to enable it somewhere?

 

Second question: when using IE 11 to access html desktops, when i log off (standard windows logoff seeing as I don't have the above option), the desktop logs off but the windows stays open and display the message 'Your desktop has been disconnected. Attempting to reconnect to desktop...'.It never reconnects to the desktop and i don't want it to either as I want to log off. If I use chrome, the window closes and takes me back to the desktop selection page which is what I'd like in IE. Anyone seen this, is there a workaround? Tried compatibility mode, trusted sites etc.

 

Third question: when logging off a desktop, the desktop selection page seems to time out quite quickly and I have to log in again to see the list of desktops I am entitled to. Where is the timeout setting for the html client? I can see a timeout for the actual desktop session in View administrator which is currently set as the default of 600 minutes,

Post-synchronisation script: runs before or after initial snapshot?

May 7, 2015, 8:18 am

We know the script is execute at first VM creation time, at rebalance, recompose and refresh operation. In the View documentation, it said Quickprep runs in the customization phase and at the end the snapshot for that VM is taken (vdm-initial-checkpoint). But if Quickprep is execute during customization phase, it should run the post-synchronisation script too before the snapshot takes place?

 

If the answer is "after the snapshot", how can we run a script before? For example, we want to deploy a big software on in each VM with silent install and this takes aroud 7 minutes to complete. Very too long if this happen at each refresh time... I know we can include this software in our master image, this will save space I know BUT this will create a new replica. We have around 10 computer labs with différents softwares in each and for simplicity we try everything to keep the less possible master images, it is a lot easier to maintain. Usually we use ThinApp, Appv to achieve this but this software could not be virtualisez. Someone can help or have some clue?

VMware View USB Redirection not recognizing USB Iris Camera

Samsung NC191 Zero-client machines.

 

Here is the most detailed technical reason I think it isn't working.  But I am open/willing to try anything.  All other devices seem to be working fine.  When the camera is armed it automatically initializes a video stream (looking at the back of the camera you can see the live motion)

 

It was found that the new library made the Imager and Motor paired correctly. However, the errors still occurred during simple USB communications. In the log file, the error starts with "E-". It also showed that USB device was removed and arrived during initialization.

 


I think this is due to USB "redirection" (I am not sure if this is right terminology) in this environment and I am not sure what should be the next debugging efforts. According to the log file, the program did not return after the call DeviceIOControl(), which is the interface with the driver.

When you plug a USB storage device into the thin client, the VDI does not recognize it.

USB Permissions on M23 is set to allow.

The thin Client does see the USB device

VMware Horizon View Client ver 5.3.0 build 1042023

Connection is set to PCoIP

 

Also wanting to do multiple monitors but VDI does not recognize the second monitor. Thin Client does.

 

Additional background.

Currently using Dell fx170 with no problems.

Can access VDIs through VMware Horizon View Client on my laptop with no problems

If I want both external, non-VPN and internal LAN users to access View desktops, do I have to have a Connection Server dedicated to external users and a separate for internal? Right now I have a single Security Server-Connection Server pair and external connections work fine but internal connections do not. Do I have to stand up at least one Replica Connection Server and modify the HTTPS Secure Tunnel URL for internal users only?
