Anything that requires the windows key has not been able to work on the chromebooks to my knowledge. I've been using an external keyboard/mouse to get full functionality. But even with an external keyboard, some of the keys dont work as expected. For example, if you press F5 to refresh a screen, it wont work on the chromebook.
I think it is just a limitation.
I know this is an old thread, but do you recall how you ever resolved? We are having a similar issue. We went to change our main SVC account and ended up having to revert it back to the original password since it wouldn't allow us to change it here:
Reading on some threads, it says to hit the Verify Server Info and add the password. But all it does it return with Bad username/password...
Hope you get this! Thanks.

We are setup the same, no dmz, and we NAT through sonicwall. Orginallyy I did not have a security server up and we NAT'ed everything, and all worked fine. Than we tried to use OSX/iMAC's to connect and they wouldn't connect, VMware support recommened a security server, after I added a security server, everything works fine now on all platforms. So...yes you can NAT it without a security server but if you can deploy a security server, I would.
Looking for an update on this issue. Has anyone been able to resolve?
Has anyone come up with an answer for this? I have the same problem. We are looking at migrating our View Environment to a new vCenter and this poses a big problem for us. We will have to create new pools on the new vCenter. Even if we use the same name, it will cause several hundred users to delete the old pool and create the new connection.
If anyone from VMware is reading this can you look into this case? It doesn't seem to be going anywhere....

I've posted 2 replies to a prior thread and it's not getting bumped to the top of the list. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe a problem with the forum.
Here's the thread I've posted to and it hasn't appeared at the top of the page: View 6: Minimum number of ready machines during Composer operations not working
Please try below steps:
1. Firstly reboot View and vCenter servers as suggested in below KB.
VMware KB: Recommended restart cycle of the VMware Horizon View environment
2. If the issue persists, Connect to Composer DB using management studio and run the below script against Composer DB.

Is there anyway to configure the default connection server and desktop pool like you would with a Zero or Thin Client with the Chromebook Horizon View App? I am trying to get access to the Chromebook Management Console to investigate but it looks like I could manage the Chromebooks to ensure the App is installed. I don't thing see anything that lets you can manage app's settings. Also the App should be added to the Horizon View client download page. I'm really excited to use the app but not being able to configure it is a bit of a problem.
Drive mapping happens per user session.
That means the second user who connects to same RDS server, will not be able to see first users network mapping.
resolved my issue by setting a more complex PW for the AD-User View uses for connecting to vCenter.
Old password was lowercase 4letter 3digit New Password with lots of characters upper&lowercase, digits and special chars.
Hi all,
I have just upgrade my MAC OS to the latest Yosemite OS. All worked well, even with the upgrade to the latest version of xCode. After I did a restart of the VM, the display isn't working anymore. At first, i can see my display very well, but after 2-3 seconds the display breaks. I have attached a print screen with what i am seeing. Does anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
Best regards,
Adrian
Hey all,
In my Persona GPO I set AppData\local\Apps to be excluded from roaming. I then logged into my VDI desktop, deleted everything in the Apps folder and noticed it cleared it out of the repository where the profile is stored. I went ahead and ran a Microsoft ClickOnce application that stores files there and saw they still roamed into the profile folder. I verified the GPO applied to the workstation and even looked in the registry to see that it showed AppData\local\Apps were to be excluded. Any ideas why it's still allowing the folder to roam even though it's been excluded?
We used non-persistent desktops and allow everything else to roam except this folder.
What happens if you make the exclusion path all the way down to the file level. Does that file still roam? Hopefully, this will tell us if it's broken all together or if there is just something about your path that it doesn't like
I've got a windows 2008R2 box that I want one user to be able to connect to. I install the 6.1.1 agent on this 2008R2 box and select Desktop Mode. I am prompted for which features to install, it installs, then it asks to reboot- but I am never prompted to register with a connection manager.
So far, I haven't found anything in VMware docs that suggest this should be working differently than on desktops. I have read that when trying to install this on a server OS, the RDS role must not be installed or else it will require Datacenter...etc. - I am only trying to get this to allow one single user to have occasional access to this system. ??
It appears to be broken. I created AppData\Local\Apps\Test.txt and excluded this file. After refreshing GPO and verifying it was listed as excluded in the registry, it still copied over.
Hello,
We have a relatively small VMware environment and it would be nice to consolidate back down to a single vCenter instance. Right now we've followed the recommendation of having Composer and vCenter co-located for the View environments, and then we have a dedicated vCenter instance for the primary cluster (no VDI). Since we're still running 5.0 in the primary cluster and 5.5 for View, upgrading to 6.0 could be an opportunity to consolidate if there aren't huge drawbacks. What's the current recommendation or expected roadmap here?
Ben
Yes, it's still recommended that way. I will note that I've moved my View environments over to using the vCSA (vCenter Server Appliance), but you'll still need a Windows box setup to run Composer.
Hi,
Can you Start the Installer using command prompt (Run as Administrator) to install it in VC Un-managed mode."VMware-viewagent-x86_64-6.1.1-XXXXXXX.exe /v VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0"
YEA! Thanks Sanjay!
