View 7.2 with Nvidia GRID, laggy YouTube?

April 20, 2018, 9:35 am

Hey guys,

 

Here's what I've got. I'm currently running Horizon View 7.2 on ESXi hosts that are running 6.0. The hosts have Nvidia GRID K1 cards. I looked through quite a few guides on how to set this up for best video performance. In the past we were just using SVGA but have started to try to use vGPU. So I added the PCI Shared Nvidia card into the master image by editing the settings, chose a profile, reserved all memory, installed the Direct Connection agent into the master image and used the Horizon View client to connect to the master image and install the Nvidia driver related to the driver installed on the host. I then rebooted and shut down the master image and composed a new pool to test. When I log in, the screen isn't really drawing correctly across my three monitors. If I have it full screen, 2 screens don't load and the 1 screen that does flickers. If I minimize into a window it works fine, but the video quality isn't really that much better. Watching a full screen YouTube video at 720P is unbearable and laggy. Obviously something isn't working correctly. At one point the weird screen problem stopped and just started to work correctly but the video quality was never better. I'm just surprised that this is not working much better than the SVGA. I feel like something has to be not working properly. Any suggestions?

External Users getting blocked once inside a VDI instance

Any guidance would be helpful.

 

Has anyone experience issues with external users not being able to access applications with a VDI environment from their corp networks where using a personal connection worked?  It appears that some corp networks don't like the Data flow from a Security server into a VDI application?  For example, the port 22443 seems to be giving some corp networks trouble.

 

Environment

 

2 DMZ Windows based Security servers fronted by F5 Load balancers and paired with 2 internal Connection servers.

 

Users can access the VDI portal and log into it seeing the apps, but once an application is clicked, the connection seems to fail access the .local RDSH server on port 22443. Users not able to connect from their corp environments can access the apps fine from an personal internet connection.  Something about some corp networks not liking the route and port the traffic takes.

 

Thanks

Horizon View inquiries

1. Can RDS hosts can also be configured as connection servers? Is this best process?

2. If there is internal and external connection users (connection and security servers), Does DMZ and On premises datacenter needs separate Network Load Balancing?

3. When would you consider using NLB in the first place?

4. can you use VMware converter to convert Desktop/s or servers to vCenter/ESXi in a Horizon environment?

5. Is Desktop/Application Farms data persistent?

6. Can we re-use N computing N300 for Horizon VDI?

Horizon 7.1 Instant clones in endless provisioning customizing deleting cycle

April 27, 2018, 12:13 pm

We are trying to stand up VDI on Horizon 7.1 with Windows 10 instant clones. When we create a pool, the five systems that we try to stand up are created, they get good IP addresses, they are joined to the domain and you can login to them by the console or by RDP. The pool itself is says that it is customizing and the systems are not accessible through the web client. The systems themselves never finish customizing. After about 10 minutes of trying, the systems are deleted and rebuilt.

 

I’ve used multiple Windows 10 images building them from scratch and trying a standard image we had here as well. We have both skipped the optimization tool and used it. We have rebuilt the entire Horizon suite multiple times. I have a ticket in with VMware now and they helped us pull the logs from the clones that are stood up. One of the other things they recommended that we do was to upgrade to Horizon 7.4 which we will be doing. I'm kind of at wits end. I don't know what else to do here.

 

Any and all recommendations or areas to check here would be greatly appreciated.

 

Finally, I am on a closed network so I cannot provide any configuration/log files which makes the troubleshooting process a bit more challenging. Thank you in advance for taking a look at this.

I would like to know if it is possible for us to change the replication partners for our replicated connection servers.

we have a total of 6 connection servers, 4 at site A and 2 at site B and currently, our main connection servers replication partners are the 2 at site B and causing some issues in the odd case we lose our Link between the 2 sites.

Below is a list of the servers and their current replication partners

While trying to create a 2 VM Desktop pool in View connection server 7.4.0 in my test setup, VM is taking around 2 hours to be in Available State.

From the agent logs I see the following message :

View Composer customization in progress (total 60 seconds)

and Finally

View Composer customization in progress (total 6960 seconds)

View Composer customization state 0 (in 5 seconds)

 

Also from the sysprep logs I can see that sysprep is completed.

 

Any idea what could be the issue ?

 

Here I am attaching the complete logs for your reference.

Can smartcard authenticate with Horizon over HTML?

Is there any way to authenticate with a smartcard over HTML when not connected to to the network?

 

Goal: Authenticate from offsite to the Horizon desktop over HTML with either a password or the smartcard and not using VPN. Then once on the desktop we need to use only a smartcard to authenticate with OWA using a browser inside the desktop.

 

I've gotten conflicting info from searching and speaking with others, hence the question instead of further searching.

1x composer server
All running on server 2008R2

Target Environment:
VMware VDI Version 7.3.2
vSphere 6.5
And all management servers to Server 2012R2

 

i have verified the upgrade matrix and there is no direct upgrade path from 5.2 to 7.3, we need to upgrade to 5.3 then 7.3.

However we also planing to upgrade the OS as well. Hence we are  looking at build new VDI management servers and migrate the VDI golden image and desktops.

I have a dev box that I am using to test two-factor authentication (2FA).  I can connect using IE11, but I can't connect using Chrome or Safari.  I can connect in production.  Let me clarify, I can't connect whether using 2FA or not.  I get a message that I failed to connect to the Connection server.

 

We are running Horizon 7.4 with the 7.32 agent and Horizon 4.7 client.

 

I've been looking at the locked.properties.  Do I have to put an entry in there?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Windows 10 App Store Enable or Disable?

I'm curious if anyone running windows 10 (1703) linked clones in their environment have the windows store enabled on their parent vm? There's an extension we need to install for a service we have and for the edge browser, I can only download it from the windows store, but if I have the store enabled, then my linked clones get stuck customizing. I can only get a successful linked clone pool if I remove the windows store from my parent vm.

 

Does anyone know a way around this?

Is there a way to change the fields on the View login popup when using Radius?

May 8, 2018, 6:44 am

We are using view with Radius, and Multi-Factor Authentication.   The login sequence is pretty normal, when the user connects, they get a popup window, enter their credentials, then get the challenge for the MFA token, then they're in (or not).

 

We have some confusion with users due to the wording of the login prompt.   The fields requested are "Username" and "Passcode".  We find that "Passcode" seems to be particularly confusing to users who keep trying to enter their MFA token at that point instead of their password.

 

Is there any to change that wording, and have it request "Username" and "Password", or even "Email" and "Password"?

 

I have seen F5 allows for some customization of the login form, as descrived at VMware Horizon View Client Customization - custom field names and description but we aren't using F5.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

  What is the expected behavior when installing O365 on a base Win 7 x64 image?

 

Should each vdi user get prompted to "accept and start [office app name]" the first time they open the app?

 

Should each vdi user get prompted to sign in?

     If yes, should they get this prompt every time they logon (in between recomposing)?

Hello everyone.

 

We have two environments QA and prod.

 

Currently we are going live on the published applications, everything is going smoother expect the icons for few applications.

few applications showed default icon of vmware horizon, which is fixed by deleting the application from pool and republishing it.

for few applications icons come up in QA environment but the same will not work in prod environment (Tried multiple times to delete and republish in application pool)

no go.

 

Is there a way to track out why it's not showing up in prod environment.

Note: this is not happening with all application only few currently two apps.

 

All applications are manually added.

 

Thanks in advance.

Naveen. S

Persona Management - defect profiles

Hello together,
I hope this is the right section. I apologize for my bad english.
Some weeks ago I tested Persona Management in our environment, the test was fine and without any problems.
Now I migrated some profile from persistent data disk to persona, here seems to be the problem, but even a fresh created profile can get this error.
It only occurs to some of the users, mostly the same one, I can't see any differences between all.
The error is the following:

If you log in to your Horizon View Desktop everything seems to be glad, until you try to start explorer.exe, you got not enough permissions.
Same happens on tools like SnippingTool.

 

This is the error in german:

error.jpg

 

In english it should be spelled:

Cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to accesss the Item.


I really need to get a fix, because those users are really stressed and a fresh profile need to be configured every time.
Sure, I also got a script for migration, but the error is inside this.

So, maybe it is a false AppData?

 

Can you help me?

 

Best regards

 

Marco

Linux linked clones not updating their hostnames

Hi All,

 

 

I have been testing out Linux linked clones with our Horizon 7.4 environment.

 

I am having trouble with RHEL and CentOS linked clones. I can get them to spawn ok, but they fail to update their hostnames and thus are all named identically the same as the Gold Master.

I have spawned up a SLED pool and the linked clones there manage to update their hostnames.

 

I have no idea where to look from here, I have been searching all the VMware doco I can find, as well as Googling with no luck.
I am unsure if everyone else just has this working or if no one is really trying at the moment.

 

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction or shed some light.

 

Horizon: 7.4.0 build 7400497

vSphere: 6.0.0 Build 5318172

Agent: 7.4.0-7380911

CentOS: 7-1804

RHEL: 7.4 Update 4

SLED: 12 SP3

 

 

Kind Regards,

Leon Hewitt

PCoIP workstation with massive keyboard lag when using a Das Keyboard

My company uses PCoIP workstations for all emplyees.

I tried to bring my own keyboard, a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate, but it lags a lot, it's really unusable.

 

I've contacted the keyboard comany and after some exchanges we believe that the problem lies on the fact that this keyboard as an internal usb hub which aparently is not that well accepted by the VDI.

My company's admin said that this could be solved by adding some drivers to the supported pool but that would mean more stuff to maintain and as it's only for me they won't do it.

 

As I'm a local admin of my own machine, is there any way to make this work for me?

 

Thanks!

Alex
