Sep 22, 2017 An upgrade vSphere 6.5 means no more beloved Windows/C# vSphere Client and loads of people are being forced to the web client. With the web client, certificates play a much more important role in the overall design and untrusted certificate on your vCenter and ESXi hosts will plague you when trying to deploy new VMs, import OVF’s and other upload situations.

I have a question that I could not find a good answer. I’m trying to create a desktop pool (auto pool, float assignment, Linked clone), where the VDI desktops are NOT part of a domain (i.e. Workgroup mode). Is this something that is supported? Have someone gotten this to work? I’m trying different options in the ‘Guest Customization’ tab, but so far could not get the VMs to be provisioned (error Failed to join the domain).
VMware docs seemed to say that only VMs that joined to a domain is supported.Any help is deeply appreciated. Hi Carl,I was upgrading co-installed viewcomposer and there was error message that it couldn’t stop one of the services and installation was interupted and automatic roll back was in place. After that I have noticed that previous composer is uninstalled and while I’m trying to install the new one and use the current database I receive error message that cannot connect to Database all ODBC DSN settings are correct and testing is successful, but during installation after I enter username and password keep getting this: error occurred while connecting to Database.Do you have any idea what causes this? Hi Carl,I was trying to upgrade the co-installed viewcomposer from 7.7 to 7.8 but while installation process received error message:Product: VMware Horizon 7 Composer — The installer failed to stop the Vstor2 UFA Virtual Storage Driver. The service may be in use by a previous version of this application or by another VMware application. To ensure a successful installation, please restart your machine and relaunch this installer.After this installation rolled back, but looks like viewcomposer is uninstalled.
I have tried to install it back but its not connecting to current database. System ODBC DSN testing is successful, but during installation when I enter the username and password for ODBC I just receive a message: an error occurred attempting to connect database. Have seen similar issue:?Thank’s in advance.
Hey Carl, thank you very much for this. Everything worked until the last step, installing ViewComposer which gives me the following message:“The wizard was interrupted before VMware View Composer could be completely installed.”No additional error messages.I have the following infrastructure, all of the three servers are completely new set up:– Standalone MS SQL Server Enterprise on Windows Server 2016– Standalone VMware Connection Server 7.6.0 on Windows Server 2016– Standalone VMware View Composer 7.6.0 on Windows Server 2016– Latest VCenter Server Appliance on Vsphere 6.7Any ideas? First Thank you very much for all your articles!

It helps me a lot everyday on my daily work! I have a question concerning the storage design when implementing a new Horizon View Infrastructure with flash storage array. What should I take in consideration when designing the storage when there are any constraints in terms of capacity or IOPS requirements as it is a full flash storage? How many datastore should I create to store my virtual desktop?
One per desktop pool? Or one big datastore for all my virtual desktops?
How size should have my datastores? Thanks in advance. Part of the view Composer configuration requires creating a VCMPADMINROLE in MSDB. MSDB is never included in a AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Therefor these permissions need to be granted on each replica necessary for HA.The only reason to create this role and grant the permissions requested would be for it create and modify jobs. Since you’re only connecting via the Listener, these jobs would only be added/modified/removed on the primary replica. If these jobs modify the data they will fail after the AG has failed over to the other replica and they’re now running on the secondary, which may/maynot be configured as a readable secondary (but definitely not writable). Hi Carl,Thanks for the post.
I’ve upgraded my Horizon environment from 6.x to 7.1 and it all went well except one issue with Composer Service.If I reboot the Composer Server than Composer service doesn’t start on it’s own, even though it’s set to automatic and running with Local System. If I start the service manually than it starts without any issue.While checking Event View I could see f Event ID 7009“A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the VMware Horizon 7 Composer service to connect.”Is this something you can help with please.Regards,Mobin.
Great article!I’m having an issue, hoping maybe you could shed some light. We are required to change passwords every 90 days.Our composer account was changed. It was then updated in the Horizon console, no issues. Composer service runs with this account as well. Restarted the composer service with the new password.Everything is green. I go to recompose and I get the generic error View Composer AD Fault: Failed to authenticate to Active Directory.
Despite the password being correct. Is there anywhere else that the composer account is located that I am missing? This is in a 7.8 environment, but I have seen this issue all the way to view 5.1.
Its very strange. The error would make you think that the account is incorrect, but it is correct as I can login to our composer server with the new password, as well as restart the service using the new password, without issues.
