Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me with an issue I have setting up a trial of the Horizon view product.
I have TWO windows domains that are independent and not connected in any way (except for a couple of cables going into the Vmware Host box). Lets call it domain A
My users's PCs are on the same domain as the VMware host and all of the WMware infrastructure.
The current desktop VMs (full machines with vsphere clients) are machines connected to the OTHER domain (domain B). People run VSphere on their domain A physical desktops, connect to Vcentre (on domain A), then log onto the virtual machine using domain B usernames and passwords.
I installed and configured Horizon View on Domain A, connecting it and setting up a pool with an existing desktop VM that I installed View agent on, but when I connect to it using the View client, I get the error message "The assigned desktop source for this desktop is not currently available."
If I connect the VM to domain A as well as domain B by assigning a second network card attached to domain A, the view client connects and opens a black screen (different issue), so the problem appears to be that the VM needs to connect to domain A active directory. Leaving the VM with a connection to both domains is not an option (for security reasons).
Is there a way around this apparent requirement?
