We have a large environment with 5.3.0 installed and we will be upgrading to 5.3.4 soon.
I have searched and searched but I cannot find a compatibility matrix for the View Agents. Will upgrading the Agent on the workstations to 5.3.4 cause any issues until we can get the server infrastructure upgraded to 5.3.4?
Is it possible to move from 5.3.0 to 5.3.4 as a rolling upgrade?
We have 1 composer Server and 3 connection servers
Our pools are large with a bunch of spare machines so there is not an issue with the composer server being down for 15 - 30 min.
My concern is on the connection sever side. Is it safe to upgrade those one at a time leaving the others online servicing requests?
Guys,
Anyone can point me in the right direction, what am i missing
Have a view 6 environment up and running with NFS backend storage with full clone dekstops all working fine.
New FC storage has been presented to the vSphere environment, presented to the hosts Luns have been created and i have moved my infrstructure VM's vcenter, sql and vew server to the new FC luns.
Decided to test out deploying a new desktop pool using the FC LUNS when i get to Datastores on the "Add desktop pool" i only see my NFS storage. Any help would be appreciated am i missing something.
Regards

I want to be able to automate the provisioning of new virtual machines with installed VMware View agents in a cloud based application. The VMs are mostly Linux (using the beta Linux agent) and Windows. In order to accomplish, I need to create a Manual Desktop Pool (for Linux) and an RDS pool for Windows, add the respective hosts and perform the entitlements. Are there workflows that exist in the View Orchestrator plugin to create these two types of pools (I couldn't find them) or must I use PowerCLI? It would be helpful to have the description sections filled in for the workflows:-)
I've googled, attempted to search these forums, and hunted in settings, I'm just not finding what I'm looking for. I tend to run Horizon view in a window on a separate monitor. Whenever I work, if it happened to be my previous window when I minimize something, BOOM it takes the mouse to the center of it's screen. The behavior only seems to appear in the Windows client (I also use the OSX client from time to time) I don't recall having this issue in older versions. If anyone knows what needs to be done to correct this issue please let me know, if it's not something I can do on the client, I'm more than happy to work with my IT team that handles these requests, but from my understanding they have the issue as well. Thanks again, and I apologize if this was answered somewhere already, I just kept getting workstation links and other mouse issues in knowledge articles.

Hi All,
I have 3 Connection Servers & 3 Security Servers for VDI environment, we are on Horizon View 5.2
what is the best practice on rebooting View Servers & Security Servers? like how many months once we can reboot these servers?
just wanted to make sure that stay the VDI environment with error free.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi,
We run View 5.1.2.928164 and have done for a while with no issues but to upgrade our ESXi environment from 5.1 to 5.5 or 6.0 we will need to upgrade View since it is not supported on 5.5 or 6.0 (although may work).
We have a current subscription and can upgrade our View licenses to whatever version we want to from 5.1.2 to the latest but I'm struggling to find the upgrade path from the version we are on to the latest.
Can I go from 5.1.2 straight to 6.0? Or do I have to go from 5.1.2 to 5.3 or 5.4 etc?
If anyone can point me in the right direction as to where I can find this info I'd be much obliged!
This is a weird one....
Is it normal to see our View user accounts, standard Active Directory users that are entitled to View but should have zero privileges whatsoever on the Connection Server, showing up with folders within C:\Users on the Connection Server? They also show as having a profiles within Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> User Profiles Section -> Settings.
Something happened today and our C:\ drive on our Connection Server completely filled up. Upon investigation C:\Users is the culprit and is full of these profiles. REALLY WEIRD!!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Hello,
I'm using locally attached SSD in my view POC. I have investigated the Read I/O performance of a linked clone VM and it seems to be much slower (random I/O) as the base image, both residing on the same SSD
Here are the results for the base image
and here the results of the linked clone
Is this expected or do I have some issues with my setup?
BTW the speed of the disposable disk is ok:
Whenever we try to connect to a vGPU enabled pool with two monitors the Zero Client (Wyse P25) crashes and reboots. If the pool is set to refresh then you will never be able to login.
I set the pool to not refresh and I'm able to login. The issue is specific to two monitors if i use only one the connection works properly on the first attempt.

Hi, we did update from view 5.0 to view 6.0.1 with new hardware and teradici- and nVidia k1 card.
Some users told me that is slower then it was on view5.0. I sow that the problem was not on all pools. It is on the pcoip GPO settings. In older version I used the tool PCoIPConfig.exe Tool. This tool was quiet good for the right pcoip settings. But this tool does not work on the view6.x environment.
Where can I find something (tool or template for Windowsperformance) like that for measuring a PCoIP connection?
Thanks!

I have one pool out of 7 that say they are getting disconnected around the same time each day. These users connect thru a security server as do others. When looking in the Event log it does show them getting disconnected but not exactly the same time each day. It's withiong 15 minuutes. Not all users get disconnected at teh same time. They seem to be staggered 5 to 10 minutes apart. I suspected their internet connection but the one user tells me that the same thing happens from home. Any thoughts on where to look at this?? I am having them update to the latest client to see if that changes things. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated. thanks

Hello,
Can composer server and linked clone pools located at different vcenter? I want to put connection server, composer server and security server in 1 vcenter. golden image, link clone pool and full clone pool put in other vcenter.
Is it possible to do this?
Thank you very much for your help.
Suddenly on several linked clones it's like the profile is corrupt. When clicking on Microsoft Excel (office 365) it's again initializing. Same with Outlook
When I start a thirdparty application it's also initializing again.
This occurs randomly
We are using vmware view 6
Hello
I want to do a Quick test with VMWARE View - only Direct Connection.
There is a Article based on 5.x wich show a Installation for Agent only (no Connection Server: Using View Agent Direct-Connection in VMware Horizon View 5.3 | VMware End-User Computing Blog - VMware Blogs
But with View Agent 6.1 i allways get asked for a Connection Server IP so im not able to install Agent and then direct Connection Plugin for Agent.
Can anyone help me or show me a way to do installation.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is anything special that needs to be done when removing an old View pod, other then just shutting down and deleting the old connection servers and composer server? We have a View 5.3 environment that we have since moved off of and onto a completely separate View 6.1 environment. They shared the same vCenter server, so that will stick around, but I am ready to remove the old 5.3 servers.
I'm having a strange issue on every desktop that we've upgraded to the latest version of Horizon on. I've upgraded from view 5.1 to 6.1 (or whatever the latest is, I forget). Currently every host is also running ESXi 6. The issue is when we try to access anything network related, such as load a webpage, or access email it takes up to 5 minutes. I've tried with E1000 NIC and VMXNET 3. The desktops are also running the latest version of vmware tools and the horizon agent.
Is there anything obvious I could do to resolve this? Network load looks the same as when it was running 5.1 so I don't believe it could be anything switch related. I've tested many physical desktops/laptops which work perfectly fine, but 2k of our VDI VMs all run slow when accessing network resources. Normal desktop use is normal such as typing in documents.
Let me know if I can provide any more information.
Thank you
