Guys,
I am trying to create a floating pool using sysprep. I created a customization specification in vCenter. However after the pool is created and I try to connect to virtual desktop I see the login name to_be_default. What am I doing wrong?

On our 820's, once changed in BIOS to High performance (or whatever it's called), option in vsphere became grayed out.
Our issue ended up being related to the fact the new Zero Clients we got don't power off when you hit the power button once. The tech for the lab was just hitting the power button once, but this only turned off the monitor and left the connection open. So eventually after 20 hours, the server would disconnect the Zero Client.
Hi vcpguy thanks for your replay.
Fixed my needed, when i enable the ssh into horizon view workspace servers..

Thanks to replay Linjo, Have a question we can only publish desktop vm only or otherwise we can publish used to physical desktop m for blast html access.
Thanks

What desktop OS? Are you using the VCSA? If so, have you copied the sysprep files to it?
Hello, I am trying to configure vDGA. I have attached the pci device for the K2 card and I can see it in the virtual machine. When I install the nvidia drivers, the mouse becomes displaced and everything is skewed to the right. I have uninstalled the nvidia driver and this resolves the issue. I also also uninstalled vmware tools while the nvidia driver is installed and that also seems to solve the issue. I think the issue has something to do with the vmware video driver being installed with the nvidia driver. Has anyone seen this before?
Have you looked at the following?

I am working on a new Windows Server 2008 R2 gold image for Horizon View 6.0. Sometimes when a user logs in they will see a message that says "Please wait". Please see below:
When the linked-clones are deployed to a pool that has the ProfileUnity GPO configured this message appears. When it is in any other GPO the message doesn't appear.
I have opened a ticket with the ProfileUnity folks. We have done some troubleshooting, but we haven't been able to determine why this is happening.
I think it might have something to do with the Windows theme not being available. The computer thinks that the theme it is expecting isn't there so it changes to a different theme (that is why the Please Wait message appears).
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how I can fix it? Are there any troubleshooting steps you can suggest?
Thanks in advance...
I am running Windows 8.1 in Horizon View 6 with sVGA enabled. Windows 7 still performs noticeably better than Windows 8.1, but not enough that any users complain. Follow Tony's steps, making sure you are using the VMXNET 3 network driver for optimal performance. Also, I found performance increases (even without vSGA enabled) by following the tuning tips starting on page 27 of "Graphics Acceleration in View Virtual Desktops" Whitepaper.
Increasing the vCPU up to 8 is not going to alleviate frame rate issues. I would recommend setting them to 2 or 4.
Lastly, make sure the VMware Flash plugin is installed in IE (assuming you are using that browser). When watching videos, I find that if I keep the mouse pointer on the video being played, the playback is smoother. That has been the case with my setup specifically with YouTube since the initial 8 release.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
What happens if you remove profileunity?

First you should use the latest View version (6.0.1) that was released the other day.
That fixes some mouse issues.
I don't think HTML access is supported for physical desktops but I have not tried.
There was some added features in HTML-access in the latest 6.0.1 version that was released the other day.

I'm testing out using vmware view 6 as a platform for computer forensics. During the initial face of the investigation we run a program (encase) that hashes at indexes images of disks. This is something that takes typically 4 hours on a physical PC and in view it takes about 9 hours.
My question is - how do I get the most out of my platform ?
From what I can figure out looking at logs on the SAN (3PAR) and hosts the load on these are minimal. The OS m(Win7) on the view images maxes out CPU, disk and network. I've given it all I got (captain) - but it doesn't help. What to do. The specs (RAM, CPU and disk) is the same or even better on the VM vs. physical.
Any idea where to begin ?
All event should be in the event-database, so it should be easy to create some sql-queries to extract the data you are interested in.
// Linjo
Easy said to be honest.
I dont find the appropriate tables/data to create such a request.
Is there some kind of table with statistical data? I cannot query the whole events db for connect, disconnect, etc and count them later.
I would just need those numbers as displayed in the admin desktop dashboard for a day (by hour) or a week (by day).
In example:
Day 1
Hour 0
300 connected
200 disconnected
100 available
5 agent-unreachable
Hour 1
400 connected
100 disconnected
100 available
5 agent-unreachable
and so on.
I realize this is an old thread, but I was wandering if any solution was ever found? We are experiencing the same issue. One pool is running Windows 7, and the other Windows 8.1. Both pools are floating linked clones with Horizon View 6.0.
