Conditional FTA's not working in Windows 10 1607?

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the FTA user environment settings with conditions to set the default program for PDFs.  The use case is this: we have Adobe Reader DC And Adobe Acrobat DC installed on the golden image.  Acrobat DC is only licensed when a user logs into it with their Adobe Creative Cloud credentials.  I have two items configured for the pdf file extension...

 

First:

Associate PDF's with Adobe Acrobat DC

if user is a member of AD group "Adobe_Pro_Default"

 

Second:

Associate PDF's with Adobe Reader DC

if user is NOT a member of AD group "Adobe_Pro_Default"

 

When I check the debug log, it appears that the conditions are working properly and settings are getting applied.  However it seems that Windows is still associating Edge with PDF's.

 

I've seen some documents about customizing the default FTA's in the parent image, but that is not what I need.  I need conditional FTA's to avoid having to maintain a separate parent image.

 

Thanks!

Dear all,

 

we recently update our Environment from Horizon Agent 7.0.3 to 7.1 and deinstall the "VMware Horizon View Persona Management" Service. Because we never used Persona, everythink works fine with Windows roaming profiles.

Now, when a user try to logon to his Desktop a Windows Message appears: "Windows could not connect to the VMware Horizon View Persona Management Service"

On the second try to logon it works then. (user log on to the same desktop, that produced the error before).

 

Any ideas to eleminate this error?

Windows10(x64)にThinAppで仮想化したMicrosoft Visio2013/Project2013を展開したい。ライセンスエラーを回避できず動かせない。

ユーザーフォーラムの皆様

 

こんにちは。初めてJapanフォーラムにPostしてます。

タイトルの内容の壁に当たってまして、突破あるいは奮闘している方の知見を必要としてます。

 

Horizon上のマスターVMには、Office2013しか入れず、必要なユーザーにのみ、
Visio 2013, Project 2013を展開したいため、ThinAppを使いたい。

ThinAppで、Visio 2013, Project 2013をパッケージングしたものの、仮想マシン上で実行すると、
KMSのライセンス認証エラー(認証されない)が発生し、アプリが終了してしまう。
(仮想マシンでも物理マシンでも同じ)

 

【環境情報】

・ThinApp Version: ThinApp5.2.2 Build4828553
・OS: Windows10(x64) version 1607(VDI上)
・仮想化対象アプリケーション: Microsoft Visio 2013, Project 2013

 

 

Windows7に展開する場合であれば、ThinAppでVisio/Projectのパッケージングの手順があり、
その方法で成功するが、Windows10の場合は、KMSのライセンス認証の仕組みが変わった影響か、
動かすことができないでいます。

 

・Windows7の場合
 https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2107369

 

成功した方はいませんか?

 

海外のVMTN Forum/Discussionでは問題を抱えてる方はおられましたが、解決できた方は見当たりませんでした。

Hi,

 

Has anyone ran into problems when trying to add users to the lockdown mode exception users? I've tried this in my lab - vCSA 6.5 managing ESXi 6.5 hosts (all latest) and I keep getting a "The user or group named 'vsphere.local\Jason' does not exist." when selecting an account from the SSO domain user list.

 

Thanks

Issues with some VMs in test recovery plan

$

Hi everyone,

 

I have a recovery plan with 5 protection groups and 170 virtual machines. When I did the test recovery plan there are 4-8 virtual machines that in the step of Create writable storage snapshot have the following error:

A general system error occurred: vDS host error: see faultCause An error occurred while communicating with the remote host. A change in the network configuration disconnected the host esx04_site2.torres.es from vCenter Server. The change has been rolled back.

Every test I do the virtual machines are different. (The errors are not the same virtual machine)

 

However, when I do the recovery plan of every protectiong group (5 en total) together work fine.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks

vRops Maintenance mode, scripted? example I found, does not work for me

$
0
0

Maintenance tasks (aggressive patching of windows guest os) are throwing out stats in vrops, causing additional risks requesting for adding cpu etc

 

These guest servers are consistent and understood, but for these spikes.

 

Now, I've discovered that vrops can handle this by placing objects into maintenance mode, which can be done singularly or on a schedule, neither which really work for us.

 

Patching is automated and driven from another system.

 

Options, Powercli or API ?

 

I found a script at vmware codew by Alan Renouf VRealize Operations Maintenance Mode - Samples - VMware {code} which looks promising, however, it fails to run for me.

 

When I run the script, it fails on an element, get-omresource

 

output...

 

Get-OMResource : Requested value 'NOTEXISTING' was not found.

At C:\Enable-OMMaintenance.ps1:40 char:56

+                   $Item = Get-Inventory -Name $Entry | Get-OMResource

+                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-OMResource], ArgumentExce

   ption

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,VMware.VimAutomation.vR

   Ops.Commands.Cmdlets.GetOMResource

 

To rule out the script somewhat, if I run the Get-OMResource independently, it starts bringing information back from vrops and then it fails with (example)

 

 

objectname     Orange   VirtualMachine

objectname     Green     VMFolder

 

Get-OMResource : 15/06/2017 10:34:54    Get-OMResource        Requested value

'NOTEXISTING' was not found.

At line:1 char:1

+ Get-OMResource

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-OMResource], VimException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_BaseCmdlet_UnknownError,VMware.VimAutomatio

   n.vROps.Commands.Cmdlets.GetOMResource

 

Which makes me think this is an API issue maybe?  some part of the vmware.vimautomation.vrops or because I'm on vrops 6.5?

 

If anybody has any ideas or alternate suggestions to do what I need, that would be great.

 

I tried support, who said buy professional services or use the communities, hence, I'm here.

Hi all,

 

We have a Java appled application, with require some local resources an a winword plugin.

 

All the local resources i have put in a thinapp.

If i open a word document from within the JavaAppled winword will start but my thinapp crashes! (i have a entry point to iexplore.exe on a windows 10 os)

 

I is use:

VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0

ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=Winword.EXE

ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual

 

winword starts and no thinapp crash, but no i don't have the word plugin becourse winword start out side the thin environment.

 

so my question is how to pull winword 2016 in to a thinapp environment.

 

many thanks

Roger

fonts not deploying?

Im attempting to add Mathtype to App Volumes but when I deploy the app, the fonts are missing.

 

Mathtype installs a couple of fonts.  I can see the fonts are installed.  I reboot and complete provisioning.  When the app stack is deployed, Mathtype is there but the fonts are not. 

 

What am I missing?

 

Im using App Vol agent 2.9. 

 

Thanks,

Dave

There is no more space for Virtual disk abcdxyz-000001.vmdk. VM not starting.

While trying to start VM, I got an error message. It says the following.

 

"There is no more space for Virtual disk abcdxyz-000001.vmdk. VM not starting.You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking button.retry. Click button.abort to terminate this session."

 

In order to further troubleshoot, I found that I have multiple .vmdk files in datastore that may consume the space. But unsure which is the vmdk in use, I am not able to delete the unnecessary one.name of Actual VMDK is ***********_1.vmdk.

Also I am not sure why these are created. I am quite new to VM ware.

My VM ware Esxi is 6.0.0 and V sphere Client version is 6.0.0.

In data store I can see a file named abcdxyz_1-000001.vmdk then .vswp files are created.

 

Can somebody tell me the procedure to find out which .vmdk files are unnecessary and can be safely deleted from disk.

Returning vRO errors to vRA

$

I haven't been able to find any documentation relating to returning vRO error outputs to vRA. I would like to present the user with information more relevant to their resource deployment when it fails. Right now they just get the text "Request failed: <VM> not found, and possibly deleted before provisioning finished." Does anyone know if i'm able to capture the real vRO error (or custom error) and return that to vRA to be displayed instead? I would want to do this on IaaS and ASD operations.

NSX Disconnecting from vCenter

Randomly NSX is disconnecting from vCenter. Once this happens, NSX doesn't show registration with vCenter (no green light). The following error was noted:

 

NSX Management Service operation failed.( I/O error on GET request for "http://localhost:7441/api/2.0/services/vcconfig": Read timed out; nested exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out )

 

- KB states to upgrade to 6.1.5. Current version is 6.2.2.

- Check DNS and no record was created to resolved NSX. Record created and resolution - both ways - verified. Monitored the status for a few hours.

- Checking the logs today. I might have seen some "untp...." error entries. Will get back with any findings.

 

- Any comments?

 

Thank you!
