In VMware View Admin Console I can view the System Health with View components, vSphere components and Other components.
How can I monitor this status via an API? (Powershell, Remote REST or something?)
I've seen conflicting suggestions on VMware's documentation as well as around the Internet on a best practice for preparing linked clones for VMware View (5) deployments. Should I join the parent VM to the domain prior to shutting down for a snapshot, or should I do that with Sysprep/Quickprep during Compose?
I've been trying to setup a VMware View connection server. I feel like I am getting it close to having it working, but haven't had success yet. The current issue is that the connection server tells me I am "not entitled" to use the system after logging in with my domain credentials. I don't know why this is the case, because I am explicitly set as an administrator to the system!
So my question is slightly two-fold I guess...
- Where do user credentials come from? I am assuming they are from Active Directory, since that is what I am prompted to log into a domain.
- How do I give a user privileges to access the system? I have looked all through the web admin interface of the connection server. There is a section to add users, but when I search for a domain user in here no users are returned. In fact, there are no users at all.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
We have several view-desktops and I need a script to be performed once on all desktops. Sadly, WMI is disabled. These desktop are all running Windows XP SP3
I thought I read about the possibility to execute commands in a guest-vm via VMwares PowerCLI. Can anyone confirm if that is possible or can even provide a link?
Has anybody tried to provision a Windows desktop with App-v 4.5 client in the image?
I've tried it with Windows XP and 7 but after creating the desktop pool, provisioning fails.
In the View Manager I see an error: View Composer agent initialization state error (6): Unknown failure (waited 0 seconds).
We are using View 4 and also checked Vmware KB: 1011653.
The App-v 4.5 client was installed before the View Agent.
