I opened a SR with VMware, but it didn't help for now.
Here what I found so far:
We tested with Windows 7 from scratch (DVD)
The bug is there. You must not open Internet Explorer so the bug can occur. If you did, recreate another user or delete the profile.
If you did a sysprep /audit to pre-configure the applications as opening Internet Explorer inside your image, the bug won't be there.
If the user doesn’t open Internet Explorer:
- The registry keys “Connections” and “Wpad” are blank. (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings)
The process vmware-view.exe might hangs in the task manager when:
1. connecting to the broker server, at the login prompt, if you click cancel
2. the user disconnects from his view session
It occurs even when you launch the vmware view client by the command –serverurl or the normal way with the interface.
For now, the solution is to “populate” the key Connections .. or open once Internet Explorer with the user before and disable Auto-Detect IE Proxy Settings...
