Hi All,
System we use
Windows 10 1607/1709
Appvolumes 2.13.2
UEM 9.3
so did a capture of office 2016 and turned out you can’t preview documents in the preview pane eg word, excel, PDF.
Now it does have the previewer installed.
works fine if installed directly on the machine.
when it becomes a appvolumes that feature no longer works.
thanks in advance
Hi All,
Deploying office via App volumes question can you turn off protected view in Word, Excel etc ??
Or is this question best asked in UEM ?
Has anyone done this ?
Attached what I want turned off

Thanks
Hi guys,
My department has invested alot of time and effort into App-V applications, we're slowly introducing AppVolumes VDI.
But cant justify in the short term repackaging all the applications from App-V to Thinapp/appvolumes.
So question is, can i still retain my current App-V applications untill we update them to Thinapp/AppVolumes ?
I would like to have them deployed via appVolumes if possible.
Thank you in advance
Hi All,
Having issues with Adobe pro in App volumes.
App Volumes 2.13.2
Windows 10 1607
UEM 9.3
We have an existing Adobe Professional XI package that works fine for physical workstations Windows 7, Windows 10.
But from some reason every time i capture it with App Volumes and i deploy for test, the applications runs for about a min if that and will close with an error box Configuration Error.
Has anyone seen this and figured it out.
Also Adobe has the following fix done that still get the error only happens on App Volumes

Hey all -
Went into our non-load balanced vRA setup to find some funkiness in the UI about Model Manager within the Infrastructure tab. I rebooted the IaaS VM and the error persisted. So, I rebooted the vRA appliance.
Coming back up, elastisearch came by saying it could not start and other services either took a long time or did not start. Once up, I logged in as root and check disk space with df -h to find that / was full. I added a disk to the VM, took a snapshot, and moved some log files - /var/log was 35G. Rebooted, figured everything would be fine, except it's still not happy.
I spent a couple hours searching logs for blatant errors but everything is pretty generic. When I try to log into https://fqdn-vra/ I get the "VMware vRealize Automation Appliance" page. So that works. When I click the "vRealize Automation console" link I get a page with a heading "Identity Manager" and "The page you were looking for is not available. You may need to contact your administrator with this error: 404 Page Not Found."
So, clearly vIDM or whatever is not running. Checking services on https://fqdn-vra:5480 is full of a bunch of FAILED and no status.
Failed:
branding-service
console-proxy-service
container-service
content-management
forms-service
healthbroker-proxy-server
management-service
portal-service
properties-service
release-management
reservation-service
shell-ui-app
Registered:
component-registry
licensing-service
plugin-service
pricing-api
vcbm-service
Everything else has no status.
Right now, at this point, / has 10% free, so I don't think it's a disk space issue any longer. All of the other mount points in df -h have very low % utilized.
in VAMI under vRA Host Settings, the cert is not expired, SSO info says "Configured - working connected", the DB is connected, under licensing it shows "Error connecting to server. Is vRA running?"
Maybe someone has seen this before or is good at troubleshooting vRA? Appreciate any help!
Hello all,
Just wanted to share: I was updating a HA VCSA environment and on the Witness appliance (the first one to be upgraded in an HA setup), the upgrade failed for no apparent reason. No useful messages. It just died after a few seconds saying "package update failed" and that was it.
In the file "/storage/log/vmware/applmgmt/software-packages.log" I could see it fail, but not due to anything wrong with packages or prerequisites or anything. All good and it still kept failing. Disk-space was not an issue. I could see no package-related problems what so ever.
Until the following lines caught my eye:
DEBUG:vmware.vherd.base.software_update:STDERR: You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
error=You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Hmmm. So out of curiosity, I entered the Shell and used the passwd command to simply re-enter the root password (the same as before). As passwd does not check if the password was already used etc. it accepted it.
I left the shell (went back to command mode) and tried to update again. This time it went through without a hitch. Problem solved.
Summary: if VCSA updates seem to fail and you see nothing that has anything to do with the packages etc. etc., look for the lines above. There is a good chance that the root password needs to be reset (even though you could login with it just fine). Appliances that have been running for a while are prone to this issue.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As a reference, this is my workflow for updating HA VCSA Setup's:
Download the FP patch ISO from VMware and upload it to a datastore.
Example: the 6.5 U2 patch ISO is called "VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.5.0.20000-8307201-patch-FP.iso"
Put the VCSA HA Cluster in normal Maintenance mode
SSH into the active VCSA as root by using the public IP address.
We are not going to patch this appliance yet. It will actually be the 3rd and last one that gets patched. The Witness appliance is the first.
Enter/run the Shell using the "shell" command
From there, SSH into the witness appliance using it's "vCenter HA IP Address". Do not run the shell. You must stay in command mode.
Attach the Patch ISO to the witness appliance
Then, from the Command mode, enter the following commands:
Command> software-packages stage --iso --acceptEulas
Command> software-packages list --staged
Command> software-packages install --staged
Command> shutdown reboot -r "patch reboot"
(this throws you out of the SSH session and back into the Shell of the active appliance)
Detach the ISO
Wait for the witness Appliance to come back and under "HA Monitoring" in the Web GUI, wait for, and verify that things like replication etc. are all green and good.
You are still in the shell on the active appliance.
SSH into the passive appliance using it's "vCenter HA IP Address". Do not run the shell. You must stay in command mode.
Attach the Patch ISO to the passive appliance
Command> software-packages stage --iso --acceptEulas
Command> software-packages list --staged
Command> software-packages install --staged
Command> shutdown reboot -r "patch reboot"
(this throws you out of the SSH session and back into the Shell of the active appliance)
Detach the ISO
Wait for the passive Appliance to come back and under "HA Monitoring" in the Web GUI, wait for, and verify that things like replication etc. are all green and good.
Log out from the appliance shell of the Active node.
Initiate a vCenter HA failover manually (wait 5 to 10 minutes for it to complete).
Have patience. Ramming on refresh in the browser will not speed things up. There will be replication errors during the failover but they should clear after a couple of minutes.
Afterwards, you can see in the vSphere Web Client that the Passive node has become the Active node and the Active node became the Passive node.
Clear your browser's cache. It you don't, you could have issues with the version number under "about" still displaying the old version, graphical elements missing etc.
Really, clear your browsers cache...
Verify that you are on the "new" active node by checking the version (use the "about" function). If it still shows the old version, did you clear the browser cache before you logged in?
Log in as root to the appliance shell of the new Active node by using the public IP address.
SSH into the, now new, passive appliance (used to be the original active one) using it's "vCenter HA IP Address". Do not run the shell. You must stay in command mode.
To patch the new Passive node:
Attach the Patch ISO to the passive appliance
Command> software-packages stage --iso --acceptEulas
Command> software-packages list --staged
Command> software-packages install --staged
Command> shutdown reboot -r "patch reboot"
Do your checks. Replication etc. should all be green and good.
Manually Fail back (again, wait 5 to 10 minutes for it to complete). The roles switch again.
Do your checks. Replication etc. should all be green and good.
Exit VCSA HA Cluster Maintenance mode
Done, get a beer
Hi,
I have a fundamental question as your following problem with your users (which is certainly a topic for you, i think ;-)) : Users should have their desktop data in case that the extension .lnk .url over save the UEM. For this I have set the following configuration file:
But if I now want to assign an * .url address via the shortcut function of the UEM and at the same time connect a condition set (eg with the Horizon policy "internal / external") then the user gets due to the aforementioned desktop ALWAYS assigns the shortcut to his desktop if he has even logged in once "Internal". But that is exactly what should be prevented by the condition set!
How would you solve this? Can you ever "determine" the users on your desktop and store any data?
Our environment: VMWare Horizon 7.3.2, UEM 9.3, Instant Clone with Windows 7 32bit desktops.
Thanks!
Hi, i have apllied the Mozilla Firefox config file you can find in the UEM Templates. It works fine, but i see that the import take almost 10 seconds...
When I have a look into the logs, I see:
2018-04-30 13:03:12.773 [INFO ] Importing profile archive 'Mozilla Firefox.zip' (\\hznuem\uem-profiles\sgr\Archives\Applications\Mozilla Firefox.zip)
2018-04-30 13:03:21.460 [DEBUG] Read 117 entries from profile archive (size: 40938; compressed: 21028; took 8687 ms; largest file: 3677 bytes; slowest import took 7 ms)
Even if i delete the ZIP file, it takes like 10 seconds, and i try to figure out why. There are no predefined setitings, and this is the only thing it does during import:
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Mozilla
HKCU\Software\mozilla.org
HKCU\Software\MozillaPlugins
[IncludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox
<Cookies>
<Favorites>
[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports
When I disable this config setting for a user, it significantly lowers the login time.
The export takes like 2 seconds...

Any one can suggest how to read esxi logs?
I am doing NSX PoC, after I has been created DLR, I want to add another internal interface,I can't create the internal interface.
and no any error.(show yellow line in the screenshot)
I don't know what is reason.
I have a Intel DQ77KB motherboard which has an onboard serial port and runs vSphere Hypervisor on it. Through SSH I can see there is a uart0 file under /dev/char/serial. However when I tried to cat it the screen outputs nothing, and when echo something to it the echo command just stucks until I press Ctrl+C. If using the serial device to add it to a VM, the problem still exists (there is a COM port in the VM but not functioning at all). So can I do something to use the onboard one, or must use a USB to serial cable through USB passthrough? Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
One of our customer is using two web based application. One application is needed java 7 and another one is needed java 8. End users will access both applications simultaneously.
How we can achieve this?
Your thoughts are valuable.
hi guys,please can I install VMware and all it's components in partition other than (c) the main one??
best regards;
According to KB 53704, VMware Knowledge Base , and the release notes for 6.5 update 2, there is no supported upgrade path from vSphere 6.5 Update 2 to vSphere 6.7. Is this a temporary or permanent restriction?
I'm about to build a new VMware environment that will use Veeam Backup & Replication. Since Veeam does not yet support 6.7, I must deploy 6.5 for now. I was about to install 6.5 Update 2 when I noticed this restriction. Unless I hear otherwise, I now plan to install 6.5 Update 1, stay there until Veeam supports 6.7 and then upgrade to 6.7.

Hi Community
In the vSphere C# Client I had the possibility to see an overview of all vms and their snapshot spaces: Home - Inventory - Datastores and Datastore Clusters - Tab Storage Views.
By selecting my datacenter on the left I had an overview of all vms on a datacenter and their snapshot sizes (on all datastores). See my attached screenshot.
I have just upgraded my vCenter to 6.0U2, so I don't have the Storage Views Tab anymore.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this with the vSphere Web Client? I don't want to check every vm or every datastore but would like to have a similar overview of the snapshots spaces of all vms on all datastores,
Best regards
Roland
Purpose of this post is simple and obvious... bring back development to thick client. THANKS!
