When you login to your view desktop, you see a Error message "The Group Policy Client Service failed the logon. Access is denied."  This issue happens when user profile is already available in parent image or master image. when i login to view desktop from my vpshere console via local administrator, i see my profile  is available in c drive. when i look for my sid in personality i also see my profile is created in persistent disk. As some Microsoft administrators would know, certain SIDs are always mapped to certain accounts and the following are these mappings: S-1-5-18 Local System, a service account that is used by the operating system. S-1-5-19 NT Authority, Local Service S-1-5-20 NT Authority, Network Service S-1-5-21-1244467668-13315860-265647015239-500 S-1-5-domain-500 - A user account for the system administrator. By default, it is the only user account that is given full control over the system. Aside from the per

The Horizon Toolbox is a new web portal that serves as an extension to Horizon View Administrator. It has the following functions: Auditing Sessions:  Shows historical concurrent session trend for last 2 days, last week and last month. Shows current virtual desktop connections by desktop pools, and shows virtual application connections by RDS (Remote Desktop Service) Farms. Usage:  Shows accumulated use time of users for last 2 days, last week and last month.  Shows all connections (user name, pool/farm name, machine name, connection time, disconnection time) for the past 2 days, last week, and last month. Snapshots:   Shows parent virtual machines of linked clone desktop pools and descendant snapshots in a tree view. The snapshots not in use by linked clone pools are marked in grey, so that the View administrator can remove the snapshots not in use. Clients:  Shows statistics for operation systems and versions of View clients in different types of view styles. Remote Assis

 VMware added support for RADIUS, allowing you to integrate with third-party multi-factor authentication products. SecureAuth IdP takes advantage of this RADIUS support by enabling Administrator-free distribution of 2-Factor Authentication to VMware View using one of our OATH mobile OTP applications: iOS Android Windows Phone BlackBerry Windows Desktop Macintosh Desktop Browser OTP Application OATH-Compliant Hardware Tokens RADIUS has been around since the early 1990s, and many organizations offer two-factor authentication with RADIUS. SecureAuth’s low-friction user enrollment and self-provisioning/de-provisioning of OTP devices offers a unique and valuable mechanism for deploying this multi-factor authentication while removing the burden from the administrators managing the solution. Unlike typical hardware tokens which require the administrator to follow a tedious process to associate each token serial number to a user account, usually by importing token seria

“VMware Horizon™  (with View) delivers virtualized and remote desktops and applications through a single platform and supports end users with access to all of their Windows and online resources through one unified workspace.” we will be discussing linked clones!! So, what is a linked clone? It’s the weekend and you're out at a dinner party with several new friends. The conversation goes around the table from person to person and everyone talks about who they are and what they do for a living. The conversation gets around to you and you say, “I'm a VMware View Administrator”. If your friends are like mine, you will get blank, questioning stares in return. As a VMware View Administrator, what do you tell people what you do when they ask and how do you explain it? I tell them I'm a tree tender. To most people, the concept of virtualization is foreign, but a simple explanation is normally enough to understand what a virtual machine is and provide a basic idea of how

As I start to update my lab with a fresh new build, I wanted to make sure I have all the tools i’ll need to take the Automation journey and to sharpen my skill-sets around the tools that VMware offers, PowerCLI, vCenter Orchestrator, and vCloud Automation Center. In the past I have seen vCenter Orchestrator installation and configuration a bit painful and I have read in other blogs and social networks that I wasn’t the only one having issues with the initial configuration. I’m happy to report that the latest Appliance version of vCO is a breeze to install and configure just like many of VMware’s appliance-based solutions like the vCenter Server Appliance and the vCenter Support Assistant, to name a few.  VMware is making it much easier to deploy these solutions with the appliance model, at the same time, lessening some of the license burden that our customer’s bear regarding Operating Systems and Database licensing. The first Appliance I will cover is the latest vCO Appliance 5
