In Horizon View 6.0 when you were setting up your Desktop Pool there was an option under guest customisation where you could specify the OU that you wanted the pool to join, which was really useful ! But in 6.1 this option has gone ?? Does anyone know how to tell your new VDi desktop to join a specific OU rather than Computer !!! in 6.1 ?
Thanks
Hi People,

Hi,
Just upgraded to 6.2 yesterday. HTML RDSH apps are very cool, but I am having problems with my desktop now.
I connect to my VDI from various platforms... I have a workstation with 3 monitors at work that I connected to my VDI, as per usual yesterday... but when I got home and connected from my iMac, which only has one monitor, I am seeing 3 tiny monitors worth of info on the one screen. I upgraded the client on the iMac, no change. The Mac client as usual has almost no control over monitors etc.. other than full screen and zoom, neither of which changed anything.
Any idea what I need to get back to it opening on only as many monitors as I physically have???
Thanks
Bill
Hi guys,
I have a customer that is looking to upgrade to the latest version of Horizon 6.2.
Are there any intermediate upgrades that need to happen first before going to 6.2 or will they be able to go straight to 6.2
There are no security servers in this environment. There is 1 connection server and 1 View composer server. They are running vsphere 5.1 which we want to upgrade but we need to upgrade view first.
Thanks for any responses.

Hello community,
I got a problem using the "login as current user" option against a security server from outside corporate network. Login by entering username/password manually works fine from outside corporate network For internal connections using a connection server instead of security server everything works as expected without manually typing username/password.
Single domain
Horizon Client is 3.5.2 and domain joined
2x Security Server 6.2.1
2x Connection Server 6.2.1
On one of the connection servers I got the following error when trying to connect via horizon client using the "login as current user" option:

Hello,
For the past week or so I have been trying to figure out this issue and have also opened a ticket with VMware. Currently when new users get onto one of our machines via View, View creates a folder for them in the Persona directory, and makes the .lck file. But when it comes to things like Desktop, Favorites, and anything other than that LCK file It won't save anything. When a user logs off it will bring up another temporary folder that has AppData and every folder inside of it but then gets deleted, like it was trying to sync. I've looked through the logs and so far here is what I've found.

From the looks of it it's saying failed to open but that's because Persona Management hasn't created it yet....
Any help would be much appreciated. If you need any more logs or anything please let me know.
Thank you!

Good Morning.
I'm trying to script a recompose for pools after we perform windows patching. I seem to be hitting an issue running the SendLinkedCloneRecompose command.
My View server version is 5.3.2 and my vcenter is 5.5
The error I'm getting is below. I've tried it both with the variables and manually entering the paths for the parentvm and snapshot path and it fails both ways.

See below for the powershell script...I think its something with the command itself not the script but any help would be appreciated.

Hi Team,
Issue: We are having issue with internet access from local checked out View desktop.
We had done the checkout of virtual desktop to the user's Local desktop , he is able to access it without any issues. He used to connect to Cisco Anyconnect VPN from his local desktop for accessing other applications. The problem is, If connect VPN , he wont able to access internet on inside Virtual desktop , which means that DNS is not working , but he can access internet from his desktop. We are able to ping 8.8.8.8 from view desktop but not able to access internet , I am not sure why?. If disconnect VPN on local Desktop, then he can access internet from View desktop.
We rolled back View desktop and tried to access the internet with VPN , it was working fine without any issue.
We face this problem only in checked-out mode. Please help me to resolve the issue.
We monitor the url for our clients access to their desktop sessions. I am curious if there was a benchmark response time for the url for a view session? 2000 ms, 3000ms, et al. Or should it be just treated like a normal webpage load and use noted load/response times.
Thanks
Hi all,
We have a problem where all connected PCOIP terminals and VMware View Client connections are disconnected and clients are unable to reconnect for approximately 15 minutes.
This seems to happen at the same time every day or sometimes jumps a day.
Does anyone know where I could start to look for clues for this issue?
Regards,
James.
Hi there,
we have an issue with View 6 where a subset of the users desktops display the incorrect state in the gui for the connection broker.
the users are connected to their desktops, but the broker shows the desktops as 'Available' and not the expected state 'connected'.
has anyone encountered this issue....
Any suggested solutions...?
Thanks in advance
Jacob
Hi,
I have recently been tasked with looking into using USB headsets on our recently deployed HP T620 Thin Clients.
There seems to be bits and pieces documented about the issues around connecting audio devices through a PCoIP connection but nothing solid.
My initial issue was that the audio I was receiving from another user on the Thin Client was muffled and distorted but they could hear me perfectly on their end.
To solve this issue I installed the Teradici Virtual Audio drivers and updated the ThinPro image on the thin client (which was very outdated).
I thought this may solve the issue I was having with distorted audio, but alas it only reversed it - now I can hear the VM audio perfectly but it is not picking up the microphone input at all.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated to get this issue solved asap.
Thanks
What would cause the EVENTS in Horizon View to NOT show or populate when I choose to view the events?
Hey all,
I'm encountering a strange issue with a View 6.2 environment. One of my users, when they login, connect to a desktop and do see the desktop itself. However they are almost immediately (a few seconds) disconnected with the message:
"You've been disconnected because you've been logged in from another location".
I've confirmed on the admin page that the user doesn't appear to have connected again. The user is using a Teradici Zeroclient as their client machine, however testing with the View software client gets the same result, the error now being "The connection to the remote computer has been closed due to a new connection request".
This only seems to be happened for one pool as well, other pools using this user are unaffected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a little confused by how this is happening.
Thanks,
James
I installed Horizon View 6.2 and started setting up an automated linked clone pool. Everything was going great until I had to select the datastores for the clones. When I click to select them, the dialog box pops up but there are no datastores listed. I even created a separate datastore inside vCenter dedicated for the VDI environment. I am trying to figure out why I cannot see anything. We are running a IBM V5000 SAN if that helps. Any input would very much appreciated! Thank you!
Hi
I'm using Persona for Roaming profiles and want to exclude a folder from roaming, I've setup the GPO but it's not working, are we missing something?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
the system:
Windows 2012R2
VMware vSphere 5.5.0, 3116895
VMware vCenter 5.5.0.30200 Build 3255668
VMware View 6.2.0 build-3005368
Affected Pool: Automatic Linked Clone Pool
I accidentally misconfigured a desktop pool. I selected the 3D-Renderer "NVIDIA GRID VGPU" and saved it.
The section "remote desktop protocol" was greyed out afterwards.
It is still possible with the VMware powercli to update the protocol from PCOIP to RDP and reverse.
But after the pool update the options are still greyed out.
Is there a way to change / update the 3D-Renderer from "NVIDIA GRID VGPU" to "AUTOMATIC".
Does anyone knows a solution?
As far as i know there is no powerCLI command to change the "3D-Renderer" option.
Thank you very much!
Hi
We are experiencing some Blast issues after our upgrade to View 6.0.
If you are behind a proxy/waf, Blast does not function at all, on a 'transparent' connection, everything works as expected.
Before the upgrade we were using version 5.3.
I pinpointed the problem to step 4:
Step 1: Go to the blast URL (port 443)
Step 2: Enter credentials
Step 3: Pick the desktop
Step 4: Redirect to the actual desktop (port 443)
We used PAT to translate the 8443 port to 443 to avoid problems with port-based firewalls.
Using the debug mode in IE, we found that, if you are behind the proxy, the last packet is a 'GET' with a '101 switching protocol' header.
According to some sites, the 101 packet can result in connectivity errors if the proxy does not conform to the HTTP standards.
Unfortunatly, we are not getting help from the parties with the proxy, they are not allowed to provide us with logging so we cannot see what is happening on those proxies/web application firewalls.
We followed KB2046427, KB2056649 & KB1028332
A newly, fresh installed environment based on 6.0 is also not functioning.
We are implementing Tag matching between the Connection servers and Desktop Pools and was wondering if there is a way to script this? Powercli or and admin commands?
