Thank you very much for your help.
It's amazing... Now, my provisioning take only 10 minutes instead of 50 minutes.

Re: VMware View Session go Black screen for some seconds
Sorry, I was thinking the APEX 2800 cards were related to this, but that was a different ticket I was thinking of. So scratch that.
As far as this problem goes, I have seen this issue happen numerous times. It only happens with users with dual monitors. Here's a workaround: Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers > Scheme > Select a non Aero scheme
It took VMware quite a few months, but they finally generated a KB for it and closed my ticket: VMware KB: Zero client monitors will randomly go black for 1-2 seconds

Reuse Previously Provisiond View System as a pool template
I'd like to know if anyone has done a write-up on creating a pool template that is based a a clone of a previously provisioned VDI system?
View 5.3.3
FYI I've done this one before and got it to work but either I missed something in my documentation that I'm now unable to remember or something else has changed.
We are an Engineering company that uses specialized software supported by a group of Power Users in our engineering department. I have a test Pool specifically for them to use when working on new software deployments or upgrades. Often they will come to me and request a new pool based on their test system (instead of having them RDP into a template, join it back to the domain, re-work the whole install/upgrade, pass it back to me to clean up and create a new pool).
In my testing, I complete the following:
1. uninstall all VMware View agents and VMware Tools
2. Clean Temp directories and all VMware folders
c:\programdata\vmware
c:\program files\common files\vmware
c:\program files (x86)\common files\vmware
c:\program files\vmware
c:\program files (x86)\vmware
c:\windows\syswow64\config\systemprofile\appdata\roaming
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\appdata\roaming
c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\vmware\
c:\windows\temp
3. Remove other Reg keys that relate to VMware
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware
HKLM\Software\Policies\Teradici
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.
HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.
HKLM\Software\ThinPrint
4. Via Reg, reset default user profile path back to %SystemDrive%\Users
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory = %SystemDrive%\Users
5. Change Temp and Tmp Environment variables back to C:\Windows\Temp
6. Reset Changes to the Page File by resetting the following Key with an export of a known good template system
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
After all of this I receive one of the following errors when trying to provision my systems:
If the disposable disk in mounted on a different drive letter than expected I get this:
View Composer agent initialization state error (21): Failed to mount system disposable disk. Please check the parent VM if an existing disk is using the same drive letter. (waited 0 seconds)
If the disposable disk is mounted on the correct drive letter I get this...
View Composer agent initialization state error (9): Failed to relocate disposable (waited 0 seconds)
Any ideas??
Thanks,

Persona initial user login doesn't always synchronize correctly
When logging in for the first time to a Persona Managed Windows 7 VM, it doesn't synchronize correctly if logged on for less than the 15 minute profile upload interval. When the initial login is less than 15 minutes, not all folders are synchronized and the items pinned to the taskbar show up as a white 'paper' that when clicked on returns the error "Can't open this item It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Do you want to remove this item?"
Is there a way to get Persona Management to synchronize profiles immediately upon first login to the domain?
We currently have only this one floating pool that is going to be using Persona as we are still testing.

Re: Reuse Previously Provisiond View System as a pool template
You probably have some leftover data in the vmx-file.
Try to clean up it there, alternatively post the vmx-file here and we could point out what to clean out.

Re: Horizon 6 Session Disconnects

Multiple View sessions, same PC?
View 6.0.1, Client 3.3.0
Can I have multiple View sessions from the same PC? In other words
- Launch the Horizon View client, login, and access a desktop
- Launch the Horizon View client again, login as a different user, and access a different desktop
- Repeat until I have many session open at once
The reason I ask is we are migrating from Exchange to Gmail. Google provides a utility called GAMME that in a larger environment can be run from multiple machines with each machine migrating one portion of the alphabet. Rather than using 10 physical machines I would rather use 10 View desktops. This will work slick if from my real PC I can access all 10 view desktops. I will be using a different login account to access each desktop.

Re: Persona initial user login doesn't always synchronize correctly
Hi,
Can you please specify:
1. View agent version
2. AD Domain level
Also, please attach persona log files. You can find the log files in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VDM\log (VMWVvp.txt and VMWVvp.bak).
If you have floating pool with "refresh on logoff", then you can set persona GPO to upload log files to network share folder. Set GPO "logging\Upload log to network" as share folder of CIFS server.

Horizon PowerCLI using with VSAN
Dears,
recently I met a strange problem when using Horizon PowerCLI with VSAN environment.
I created a automatic linked clone pool with VSAN environment and required a daily scheduled task to disable/enable this pool.
The solution I found is via Horizon PowerCLI - update-automaticlinkedclonepool.
Although I tried the PowerCLI quite fine in my lab, I had no luck when deploying the script to the production.
The scripts (or the command) are almost the same between lab and production, just like following:
Update-AutomaticLinkedCLonePool -Pool_id {POOL_ID} -disabled $true
And the error messages:
Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool : PowershellService::UpdateAutomaticLinkedClonePool FAILED, error=Virtual SAN functionality is not supported:Virtual SAN is not available because no Virtual SAN datastores are configured.
位於 行:1 字元:32
+ Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool <<<< -Pool_id {POOL_ID} -disabled $true
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidResult: (vmware.view.pow...LinkedClonePoo
l:UpdateAutomaticLinkedClonePool) [Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool], Excep
tion
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PowershellService::UpdateAutomaticLinkedClonePoo
l FAILED,vmware.view.powershell.cmdlets.UpdateAutomaticLinkedClonePool
If I changed the pool setting with using not VSAN and the desktops still stayed in VSAN, the script ran normally as expected.
Once the setting change back to use VSAN, it failed again with the same error messages.
There is no such issue in my lab (the same horizon version 6.0.2 / ESXi 5.5 update 2).
Desktop pools in VSAN are still workable with the enable/disable script.
Could anyone give me some hints to do with this issue?
I would appreciate a lot!
Regards,
Joe

View license count
Hi,
We started with 10 license of View Horizon Enterprise and later we bought another 10 user pack. We have concurrent users license.
In the View console I can only enter one license key. The console shows that we are licensed but doesn't show for how many users. How does the licensing in View work technically? All I can see is the usage.
Thanks,
Edy

Re: Multiple View sessions, same PC?
Yes you can do that with the newer clients, but with the older clients you had to use the -standalone switch.
Are you not able to??

Re: Multiple View sessions, same PC?
Have not tried yet. I did not want to go through the time setting up a separate non-persistent desktop pool if I could not login to more than one desktop at the same time. Now that I know it will work, I will run with it. Thanks for the help

Re: View license count
The license key only unlocks functionality and does not govern the amount of users.
So you do not need to enter the new license-key anywhere, just keep it safe in case you need to prove that you have the required number of licenses for your users.
