It states in the horizon 7 documentation that PowerCLI is 'not supported' with instant clone pools:
Documentation for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.0
I'd like to automate the publishing process using the latest horizon cmdlets, which, according to the marketing material says gives access to the full view API.....so you'd think it /should/ be possible?
If so, does anyone know the code / methods to call for instant clone push operations?
Thanks
Hi,
in horizon 7.3.1 with automated floting linked clone pool , when the clone of master image finish and desktops getting created , suddntly desktops and replica deleted
and horizon show this error
in composer it shows

all the permission in vcenter and AD is created as per vmware best practice
then account grated domain admin and still same issue
any idea ,>>????
Have searched for answers but none yet found seem to apply. WYSE zero client attached to VM running Horizon 7. What does this message mean and how to fix?
Why do zero client devices try to log on to a Security Server IP instead of the VM IP they should?
Hey all,
I recently built a PoC environment with Horizon 7.2 used for only RDS hosted apps. Pool is set to use only BLAST protocol and not allow users to choose others. It worked fine for a few days after implementation, and then the customer reported that their RDS hosts were going into agent unreachable status. Issue was reproducible by connecting to an application, closing the horizon client, and attempting to reconnect from another PC. The user would get a message saying the remote host is not ready to accept connections, and then a few minutes later the RDS host would go into agent unreachable status in View administrator. I checked the View Agent service status and it was still running on the RDS host, and there were no references to it shutting down in the log or debug log.
Today, I found some odd messages in the blast-worker-sessionid2.log file at the time of the issue. This repeated every 10 seconds until the time of me capturing the log files:
2017-10-25 15:34:47.625-0400 [WARN ] 0x1178 bora::Warning: socket 113 state: CLOSE_WAIT local: 0.0.0.0:49152 remote: 10.1.10.56:61769

I then changed the pool to use only PCoIP and so far, have not been able to reproduce the issue. Has anyone seen anything like this with BLAST?
Thanks!
I am looking into creating a custom default profile for our Floating desktop pool VDI desktops. Until now i have found a number of guides on how to use the CopyProfle option to copy a user profile to the default user during the sysprep phase. For example, the MS instructions: Customize the Default User Profile by Using CopyProfile | Microsoft Docs
Atm we use the VMware Quickprep option when composing the desktop pool, and don't want to change that. If iven possible, i have no idea how to incorporate the CopyProfile method when using Quickprep, or if there is another way to get this to work.
I also tried defprof but is doesn't give us the exact result we want, and i also rather go for a supported and know method.
Is there someone who is able to guide me into the right direction?
Hi
New deployment of Horizon view 7.3.1, this time exclusively using BLAST as the only protocol.
We were using PCOIP and file copy\paste clipboard redirection used to work fine in the thick client. Copy from desktop VM, paste to client machine's desktop etc.
Enabled the group policy settings for blast and now text and file transfers work fine in the html client via the transfer icon in the sidebar on the browser.
Text based clipboard redirection works in thick client.
Should file copy\paste work in the thick client the same way it used to with PCOIP, now it is using the blast protocol instead? Should the blast group policy settings enable this functionality in the thick client or is it just configuring blast in the html client?
I know we can go the full blown client drive redirection route but is this the only way?
Thanks
Andy
i understand that you can use UEM on physical Desktops but how does the licensing play into that? If i have a 100 CCU licenses and 200 destops can UEM be used?? Would really like to utilize this product but not sure about how it is licensed. Any Info is appreciated, Thanks
When searching for a solution to why VDI logins are to slow, i stumbled across the following inside the VMLM.TXT logfile.

This showed me 2 things:
1) Folder redirection is taking a very long time thus i need to find out why. This delay is a hit and mis. Sometimes login is 17 sec, the other time it is about 120 sec!
2) I see a lot of messages about "Failed to find Session for User PolicyEvent id..."
Does anyone know what the Failed to find.. messages are about and i there is something i need to check/fix?
We've been using View 5.3 for several years and it has been working quite well for us. We have a linked-clone with persona configuration. The past several days we've had instances where quite a few of the desktops are starting up in the morning with the persona service disabled. Generally we just reset their desktop and have them log back on. These past few days we've had to reset desktops multiple times to get the persona service to start up normally and personas to get sync'd. We don't believe there have been any changes in our View environment. Has anyone else run into this and know what might be causing it?
We have a wierd setup at a new remote office we acquired recently. Some computers are on our domain and some are not (for odd reasons). We have a Metro E connection to our office and they have a Sonic Wall that they use for Internet. The issue has a lot to do with DNS and the way things are setup but curious how to get by this in the short term (might be 6 months). If I try to connect up using out external address www.ourcompny.com then i connect fine thru Horizon View since it is going out the Internet connection in that office. If i choose to user the Internal IP address or our connection server then all I get is a black screen. After about 30 seconds then it disconnects. I can ping the Internal IP by number but not by name. I tried adding an entry in the Windows Host file with no luck. WE are running View 7.0.2. Any comments of suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I'm trying to diagnose and fix a total failure of Client Drive Redirection to work on the client, version 4.6.0, 64-bit. I set up the sharing on the connection properties, but it's not there in the "Computer" display on the remote Windows 7 image.
I've read some articles about ports needing to be opened to new inbound traffic (9427, 32111 for example) but I'm not clear whether that's a requirement on the machine which runs the client.
My (Linux) client sits on a 10.n.n.n network behind a NAT router (with a firewall which I control), onto a 192.168.n.n network which has another NAT firewall router connection to the public internet. Both firewalls are set up fairly conventionally, to allow established traffic in but basically nothing else. I can't see a way of doing port forwarding on both of those routers so that an unsolicited inbound connection would work on such ports (even if I was happy to do so from a security point of view, which I'm doubtful about).
Have I got this wrong? Does the VMWare server open new (that is, not already established) connections on inbound ports? If so, how do others configure their firewalls to allow it?
Hi all
we have a Virtual Center server with 2 Connection Servers + Secure Servers supporting about 35 and 55 guests each. All guests are Win7.
The machines usually boot in less than 30 seconds.
The problem is, it takes at least 5 minutes (and up to 15) for the user to be able to see the desktop.
So it appears that either:
a. the Connection server fails to communicate to the View client that the machine is ready for login
b. the view client hangs before sending the login instructions
c. the Connection server hangs while applying the login instructions
d. there's a different kind of problem entirely
Do you have any suggestion about how I could troubleshoot this?
Thanks
Hello!
As in the title, can I install Vmware on Ipad?
Would I like to install Windows 7 or 10 on an Ipad that you can?
I've seen on youtube there are methods.
If there are any other news I'm looking for answers.
If you may want to install a graphics software on a ipad.
Now is coming out of the Ipad X and their processors are powerful and fast.
Thanks for answering.
I noticed Horizon 7.3.2 downloads went live last night. I am unable to find any release notes or documentation for this release. VMware, are they going to be uploaded soon?
VMs provisioned with Instant clone - OS Windows 10 LTSB - are NOT receiving the Computer Based Group Policy ... I reviewed and did exactly what the VMware Knowledge base suggested as a work around but no luck on my end.
https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2150495
Any suggestions? if any one is using Windows 10 with instant clones, if you can share some tips and advice please?
Hey,
i have the problem that I want VM's (That are connected to our Prod-Lan) that are running under a vCenter (that is not Connected to our Prod-Lan) be connectable via a ConnectionServer (also in our Prod-Lan).
So i thought that I install the View Agent and set the ConnectionServer. But the Screen isn't showing up.
Is there a possibility to configurate the ViewAgend after the installation to connect to the ConnectionServer?
Thanks for the Answers

Few weeks ago my certificate expired on Connection server. I was able to request one from digicert and imported into my connection server. All setting were set properly with friendly name and such. Once I did that got green light on my connection server from View admin console. we are running just one security and connection server. At the time of upgrade of the certificate for connection server I did not notice any issue with security server so didn't go through the process of importing certificate for that as well. Started getting calls from my offshore resources they were not able to connect externally. . Since we used the same cert on both connection server and security server I went through the steps of exporting the cert out of connection server and imported back on security server. Even though I did that external clients were getting the same error when connecting to view client externally. To get this resolved support was able to assist by setting the default cert on the security server configure and making it default. Client were working fine by bypassing the certificate. Now I'm running into this issue where I cannot connect to my view admin console. keeps throwing below error. Also on the connection server View Blast Secure Gateway services are stuck on pause not matter what I do cannot get this service to start normally and view admin console is still down. At the same time I am able to connect to view externally by bypassing the certificate. Figure post this on the community before I call support where they are not able to help as current version of View that I am running is out of support and they keep telling me to upgrade which I have slated for 1st quarter 2018. Can't seem to understand why would the same cert that I have on connection server works perfectly fine and same cert that import into security server keeps giving me problems. Support seems to think it's a mismatch on the cipher but I cannot understand what I need to configure on the cert or the security server to see the correct match for the cipher. Any help would be appreciate it if anyone has run into this issue.
Can’t connect securely to this page
This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. If this keeps happening, try contacting the website’s owner.
Try this:
> View : 5.3.2
> Certificates on View servers expired couple of days ago hence certificates were replaced
> One certificate(digicert) used for both connection and security servers
> Verified server's friendly name , Subject alternate name and thumbprint
> No issue connecting internally
> Only external users are unable to connect
> External users connect via horizon client (4.3)
> Noticed cipher mismatch in certificates hence external users were unable to connect
> Pointed security server to default certificate and bypassing cert verification when connecting from external network , we were able to connect
Encountered an issue when there is an app hosted in 3 RDS hosts configured as 1 farm.
The error was that it is looking for a specific path that is not available on 1 of the 3 hosts.
Checked the 3 servers and found that the app is located on the same path for 3 servers.
But the version of the app on the affected server is lower than on the 2 other servers.
We updated the app version and was able to access the app via HTML.
My question is, what is the best practice or procedure when upgrading the app version per host with no or minimum disruption to the users.
This is critical since, when the error was encountered; even for the path is the same... app will not work since there is version mismatch for the 3 hosts.
Hi
Have doubt on the VMware linked disk and how it uses the Replica disks.
1. Does Replica Disk is created for every Desktop deployed in the pOOL ? ( we generally know that replica disk are created one per DS store )
2. Though the replica disk is not visible when we browse in the Datastore using the GUI.
3. But when we browse the datastore using RVC we are seeing each linked clone desktop is associated with the Replica disk, ( and same is being reported on the storage consumption size)
Does anyone has observed this ?
