Re: Web console no longer works after upgrade to 5.5.6

Hi,

 

The issue was the SSL/TLS configuration of the browser.

I suspect that the newer vCD uses TLS rather than SSL and therefore the original browser configuration had to be modified to include TLS.

 

Thanks for all that tried to help.

Re: 8.5 Keeps crashing

Same thing happening with me (Fusion 8.5 and Sierra 10.12.1) but I'm definitely not using Unity with any of my VMs. So far this has happened with several VMs including Windows XP & 10, Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (including Linux Live / Installation .iso image files) and Mac El Capitan.

 

I went back to El Capitan and installed 8.5, and during 10 days use (using several times a day) 8.5 never crashed once. Back to Sierra after the 10.12.1 update and it's randomly crashing again at VM startups.

VIO 3.0 - Glance Issues Post Deployment

After my other post, I figured Id start a new thread since it looks like most other issues are resolved.

My installation goes to 96% and fails with the common, "Failed to execute task. INNER" message.

This time I am able to reach Horizon, perform all/most? tasks in Horizon. However the deployment page on vSphere Web client shows failed.

Looking at the deployment Ansible logs, I see that it fails at:

 TASK: [post-deployment | import image into glance] ****************************

2016-10-26 17:50:30,463 p=369 u=jarvis |  failed: [10.25.212.100] => {"censored"                                    : "results hidden due to no_log parameter", "changed": true, "rc": 1}

2016-10-26 17:50:30,463 p=369 u=jarvis |  FATAL: all hosts have already failed - 

 

I then go check glance-api.log:

Failed to establish a new connection : Errno -2 Name or Service not known

 

Thank you for any help

Re: vcheck constantly asking for vcenter credentials

aaaaaahhhhhh... SSO... yes that might be it, i do know that in certain locations we have issues with SSO and the windows credentials button doesnt work properly when trying to log in via the client.

this office might very well be one of those effected.. i havent checked this yet but i will do that when im back at work tomorrow.

 

the service account is in the vcenter admins group and it does work in the first 2 locations i did this so i would say yes it is part of the default authentication source... saying that i will double check this as well.

 

 

thanks for the tip!

 

 

also thanks for the cmdlet, i will look into it if the SSO thing is not the reason for this.

 

i will post back tomorrow

 

cheers!

Re: UEM Logon Tasks - Blocked by a Lock Screen?


Ctrl-Alt-Del "secure attention sequence" screen requires clicking on user tile.

$
0
0

On our active directory domain joined golden image with default credential providers, when a user resumes from screen saver or unlocks the screen, they are immediately presented with a field to type their password.

 

Once that computer has been turned into a linked clone, the VMWare agent installs a new credential provider and filter that presents an additional screen during the unlock sequence that requires a user to click on their user tile/icon. This step seems unnecessary.

 

Why is this additional tile screen needed? Will there be a future agent release that makes it optional? We want a transition for our users to be seamless and not require unnecessary tile clicking.

 

VMWare provider dll:

%ProgramFiles%\VMWare\Vmware View\Agent\bin\wscredf.dll 5.2.0.17180 build 987719

 

Registry Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers(Filters)\

Provider GUID: BEBE672F-B0E3-4354-BB86-4EF127A55B6A wscredp

Filter GUID: 39FA3429-F61A-4975-9653-327BCE27C037 wscredf

Update 1/6/14:

 

I found that after logging in from the View Client, if you set the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1\LastLoggedOnProvider = {6F45DC1E-5384-457A-BC13-2CD81B0D28ED} and copy the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1\LoggedOnSAMUser to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1\LoggedOnUsername, on subsequent unlocks and reconnects, that extra tile screen can be bypassed. Now if VMware could just reproduce that with some work by the agent!

 

End update

 

Why doesnt VMware incorporate these registry keys into their credential provider?

Visio 2013 Appstack breaks Outlook Windows Search

$

Hi All,

 

Here's the situation.

 

Base image has Office 2013 Pro Plus.  Visio 2013 was created as an AppStack afterwards from a packager VM based on the base image (with Office installed).

 

Office works great, and the Visio appstack seems to work fine.  We had a new requirement that the Windows Search service be enabled to facilitate searches in outlook.  I noticed when the Visio appstack is attached to the VM, the "Indexing Options" button in Outlook was grayed out, and an additional section was added to "Upgrade windows search" as if it was not properly detected.  Obviously, outlook search is not working properly.

 

If I remove the Visio appstack, everything goes back to working as expected.

 

Any ideas?

Re: ESXi rescan datastore after reboot

We had a similar issue.  ESXi 5.5.   Our revolved around boot times ( or at least it appears )
We have a SAN that takes about 10 mins to boot.  The 3 ESXi Hosts ( Dell's ) take only 3-5 mins to boot

 

So if the power goes out and the outage exceeds our UPS capacity and thus the systems all shut down,

when the power does come back up, all 3 Hosts are up and running prior to the SAN becoming available

 

Anyway to affect the boot order of things (Dell servers after EMC SAN) in hopes that the SAN boots first

so it's available when ESXi 5.5 is going through its "first scan" during its boot process?

Re: UEM to capture all of the profile

You can give Application Profiler to anyone that manages their applications. Create a share that has Access Base Enumeration, so the users only see there application profile drop-off folder.

 

They request you to place the AppProfile in UEM, this way you are just managing the UEM implementation and not the application profile settings.

Try re-provisioning the Visio AppStack during your Office search changes or confirm if they are User or machine changes be made in the registry.

 

I have not run into this problem before.

Re: Failback without bringing back changes

They'll be running test during failover. They're a little paranoid anytime someone mentions they're Protected Site storage will be overwritten with changed data (rightfully so). In an actual event this wouldn't be a consideration, but we're just testing (although a real test involving real data). The planned migration still uses actual real vm's with data they are paranoid of possible corruption on failback. Of course we could create fake vm's, but it defeats the purpose of testing actual real workloads.

 

Appreciate the feedback but even running a test with the vm's connected to the production networks defeats the purpose of not performing an actual failover followed by failback. Ultimately, it's that specific workflow using real data that is desired. I've communicated back to the business exactly what a failback will do, so there is no confusion. A decision is being made on how they want to proceed. It may just be more stringent backup procedures before the failover. Thanks very much for the feedback.

I have not seen that in any Win10 deployments yet. have you made sure you have installed the correct printer drivers on windows?

 

Is this local or network printing?

 

Do you use a printing solution, like ThinPrint?

Hi Laurent,

 

I just tried the updated JAR file and I can confirm that everything's working under Windows 10 Pro now.

 

Thank you!
