Windows 10 Manual Pool - RDP with NLA enabled

November 15, 2016, 5:00 am

Hi,

 

We plan on having a manual floating pool of physical Windows 10 systems. Right now, I have a manual floating pool with one physical Windows 10 system. This Windows 10 systems has NLA (Network Level Authentication) enabled and we plan on using RDP because that is what is supported for a single-session physical desktop. In order for the View Client to support connecting to this NLA-enabled system, we have added this to the registry (on the View Client side):

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\RDP Settings]

"EnableCredSspSupport"="true"

 

I have noticed that when a user logs in and logs out, the system in the pool becomes available according to View Administrator, but a different user isn't able to log into it unless the View Agent service is restarted on the Windows 10 desktop. In our case we just reboot because the service does not stop in a timely fashion. This is the error a user gets when accessing a system where a different user logged out:

 

"All available desktop sources for this desktop are currently busy. Please try connecting to this desktop again later, or contact your system administrator"

 

If we disable NLA on the Windows 10 desktop, we still run into this issue. If we get rid of the "EnableCredSspSupport" registry item on the View Client side, then this issue goes away. Has anyone ran into this problem? Thanks.

Hi,

 

is it possible to have the VDI do an AutoAdminLogon to the console and still be available for Connections?

 

Purpose: connect with kiosk-mode to a single application and from that session switch to the already logged console.

 

best regards

Old notebook hardware

I am looking at setting up several old notebooks, HP 8840 and 6910. I am not that familiar with View but we recently purchased several View licenses in which I want to use a handful of them to convert these notebooks into VDI clients. One thing I am uncertain of is do I need an OS on them, Linux or Windows to start up the VDI client or is there a method which I can just boot these notebooks up to my VDI image? They currently are running a Linux OS and will be used for Kiosk machines to browse websites and to print to a specific printer. I looked over the VMware Horizon 6.0 with View white paper titled Configuring Kiosk Mode. This is exactly what I am looking to accomplish just not sure what is needed to make it happen. I would prefer to just have them boot right into the VDI image but from my little knowledge looks like I'll need something to run the View client.

 

Overall goal is to have these notebooks run the VDI image with little maintenance on these older notebooks to browse the web and print.

Blast Extreme port sharing over TCP

Hi all,

In this blog it states that:

 

Port sharing over TCP: Requires opening only one port on the front-end firewall when TCP port sharing is used with Access Point

http://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2016/10/vmware-horizon-7-view-blast-extreme-display-protocol.html

 

When using blast extreme protocol, it is possible to use only port 443 in combination with access point 2.5. It is supported/possible as well with newer versions of Access Point ?

 

In that case why is needed port TCP/UDP 8443, it is showed on that blog.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

as i know, CDR is possible now with newer versions of Agent and Horizon , see VMware Horizon View Client Drive Redirection (2121645) | VMware KB

 

there i can read: CDR is supported on VDI desktops (single-user) and RDS desktops...

 

But, i cant find ..is ot possible with PCoIP and Blast Extreme too? Or only with RDP?

 

And the most important question..how can we disable that with Active Directory GPOs?  Only one i've found is this http://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-7-view/index.jsp#com.vmware.horizon-view.desktops.doc/GUID-038D74EB-AAB2-42C5-981C-A83603291456.html ,but there only RDP will be mentioned. But what about PCoIP? How can we disable CDR there?

 

Thanks

Quirky Pending Session Errors

November 17, 2016, 6:29 am

Guys i know this horse has been beat to death before on other forums but i can't seem to find anyone that has posted with a problem like this.  I am running a Horizon 6.2.1 environment with windows 7x64 workstations on a network that is separated from the internet by a proxy.   I have a security server out in front of the proxy that has the appropriate firewall exceptions allowed (per the VMWare ports and protocols white paper) and everything seems to be hunky dory.  Here is where it takes a downward turn however.  I have about 80 users in a building in VA (i am located in AL for reference) that seem to randomly give errors in the connection server log that the pending session has expired.  The end users experiences the same effect as if the firewall ports were not opened properly, they get presented with the pool to choose from when they click the pool the windows launches black then closes and they get a generic display protocol error.  I can go into the connection server and see where they tried to connect to machine X, i can then manually restart that machine from vcenter and they are able to connect to it perfectly fine with no problems.  This is happening multiple times a day and it doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it.  Once a user is connected, as long as the session doesn't time out from inactivity, the connection is stable and they can work all day without problems.  I have the connection server set to automatically log off after 60 minutes of disconnect and have asked the users to log off vs just close the window.  There doesn't seem to be any correlation, that i can see, between how the user terminates the session and them not being able to log back in later.  I also have tried having the systems recompose after log off but that introduces a slew of other problems and didn't seem to correct this one.

 

I have been trying to work this out for months now and this project is only growing and the problem is only getting worse.  I will take any help or direction that i can get at this point!  I have attached the error the end user gets

Load balancing Horizon View servers using F5 and folder/drive sharing

Hello,

 

Anyone here using F5 BIG-IP LTMs to load balance Horizon View servers? I'm having problems with Drive/Folder sharing using Horizon Client. The rest (USB redirection/printing) works without any issues.

 

F5 BIG-IP LTM: 12.1.1 Build 1.0.196 Hotfix HF1

F5 VMware View iApp: 1.5.1

VMware Horizon: 7.0.2 build-4356666

 

I followed https://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/vmware-view5-iapp-dg.pdf to deploy "BIG-IP APM/LTM with proxied PCoIP connections using Connection Servers only" scenario.

 

Everything is working perfectly fine, I can login and access my published applications using VMware Horizon Client (or via HTML5).

USB redirection and printing works fine too. The only thing that I can't get working is Folder/Drive Sharing via Horizon Client. I don't get any errors during the login, but I see nothing mapped if I launch a published application and chose to save a file.

 

Folder/Drive sharing works fine if I connect directly to the View server.

 

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Horizon 7.0.1 Certificate not valid - Browser OK

Hi all

 

Short question: We have a Horizon View 7.0.1 environment with 2 connection servers. Today I replaced the self signed certs with our wildcard certificates. In the browser (https://horizon.company.com) everything's OK and green. But each of the two connection servers is showing a red flag - "Invalid". Do you have any inputs on this? I never had this issue before in other environments.

Remote access for RDSH published apps

November 17, 2016, 6:45 pm

I am currently running View 6.2.2. I have 2 Security servers in our DMZ and 3 Connection servers on the Internal LAN.  I have no issues whatsoever connecting remotely to a View desktop over PCoIP using a View client.

 

I just created a RDSH farm and installed some apps on it.  I created an Application Pool and assigned entitlements.  If I run the View client on the local LAN, I can log into the client and see my Desktoop Pool and Presented RDSH apps.  I can log into a Desktop in the Desktop pool with no issues as well as launch published apps.

 

When I run my View client off network, at home or any other remote location, I can log into the View client successfully and see my desktop Pool and presented apps.  I can log into a desktop with no issues.  When I try to open a presented app, I get the following error: Unable to connect to application: There is no available gateway for the display protocol. Try again, or contact your administrator if the problem persists.

 

Any idea what I can access a View desktop remotely but not a presented application?  Do Presented RDSH apps require any other ports besides what already in place for desktop connectivity?

Windows 10 sysprep - Guest customization is already pending

I have a windows 10 golden image that I have converted to a template and am provisioning a desktop pool using this and a vCenter customisation specification.  It clones the machine ok, but then fails with the error 'Guest customization is already pending'.  It does not create any logs on the VM and the sysprep file is not copied into the panther folder.  I THINK that I have run sysprep on this machine once and am wondering if this is causing the issues. If i create a snapshot and use Quickprep it is fine.  Has anyone else had this issue and knwo how to fix it?  It is looking like I may need to recreate my Golden Image otherwise :-(

Hi,

 

I want to connect to a desktop that has an active disconnected session with a 2nd user. It works with RDP but not VMware Client.

 

RDP

1. Windows 10 desktop. UserA logs on from console and issues the "tsdiscon" command.

2. From the client with MSTSC UserB establishes a connection. No prompt or delay when connecting.

 

Is it possible to achive the same result with VMware Horizon Client?

In my testing i installed the agent without broker (/v VDM_SKIP_BROKER_REGISTRATION=1) and the direct-connection plugin.

The client wont connect with error: "Maximum sessions exceeded".

 

best regards

Horizon View iOS client - timeout value

November 22, 2016, 4:40 am

We are currently testing RDS hosted application via Vmware Horizon 7.

Most of our users are happy, except for when they are using their iPads (which is pretty much all the time)

They want to know if it`s possible to extend the "timeout" period on the ipads, as far as I can tell this is set to 3 minutes.

So if the user is logged on, clicks the home button to do some other work on another app, if he`s not opened the Horizon app within the next 3 minutes he has to log in again.

Is this 3 minute timeout hard-coded into the app, or is it possible to change it? Cause as weird as it sounds, this could almost be a dealbreaker...

Access Point 2.7.2 not network after deployment with Powershell or OVF Wizard

Hi all,

 

I deployed my AP 2.7.2 with one nic trough powershell. When I log on to the console I get the error No networking detected please run /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net

When I run it and check the configuration my IP settings are not there. When I try to change them it fails with reconfiguring the nic eth0.

 

I tried it with the OVF template wizard as well but it seems that my IP settings are not being applied.

The correct VM network is assisgned to the AP and it has an active network profile.

 

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

 

Kind regards,

Scanner redirection doesn't work when you replace the shell on the Windows client

In case that you replace default shell on Windows TC with Horizon client or something else, the scanner redirection no longer works.

 

Tested with Windows 7 thin clients & Horizon view 7.0.2.

In "Scanner-scanmgr-<date>.txt" the following error is logged: [ERROR]: Supervisor failed while scan is working.

 

If you then manually start explorer.exe on the TC so that the shell starts and reconnect to the desktop the scanner redirection starts working. From this point on it will continue to work even with shell replaced.

Session Count Per Pool Report

November 24, 2016, 5:11 pm

Is anyone aware of a way to create a report, detailing the session count/desktops available of VM pools, on a set time window (say report out ever 3 hours as an example)? We have Log Insight. We have agents deployed to all of our linked clones, agents deployed to our brokers/templates. We also have VROps (although in a bit of a propped up state only, not fully configured yet). It seems that among one of these I should be able to do it. I also flirted with the idea of using the Horizon Toolbox, but, not sure that has e-mail/reporting capabilities.

 

If it's there in VROps staring me in the face and I just don't see it, please let me know.

 

Looking for an e-mail to pop out every 3 hours and just say pool 1 = x sessions, y VMs available. pool 2, pool 3, etc. etc

 

A predecessor of mine had a similar report going on through PowerCLI, but, it's a bit outdated and messy. Just wanted to see what others may be doing for a fresh start.

 

Thanks.
