We use the same repo as with our old 5.2 and iy must be a bug somewhere in 6.0.1. <br />Have a case regged at VMware but they dont have a clue it seems. :\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228947945609574437.post-76331407732196097382014-09-11T09:12:48.659-04:002014-09-11T09:12:48.659-04:00Hi Terence,

My network guy and I sat down and did some troubleshooting and discovered that the files that control the wallpaper (in \users\\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes) were being copied to the server when the user logged out, but were not being copied back to the new VM when the user logged back in later. We solved the problem by using Persona Manager to force that folder to pre-load on login. There is still some underlying cause that we were unable to discover, because all other locations under Roaming did copy both ways without being forced, but this one did not. Still, at least we found a workaround that got it working, and it's a solution that should work for others.Rob Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386986304409913158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228947945609574437.post-13669555309422201862014-09-04T15:58:32.220-04:002014-09-04T15:58:32.220-04:00Great post Terence.

Our LAN and hardware can handle it and they will enjoy it more. <br /><br />I am having a problem that I haven't seen elsewhere, though, and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this and may have a solution. Themes work for my users, loading when they choose them, but after logging out and back in again, the wallpaper component of the theme is missing, so the background is black. If they choose a different theme (or another, then back to the original), it all works fine for that session, but it is gone again on the next login.<br /><br />The system is running Windows 7 Enterprise on Horizon View 6 on Windows Server 2012. I have tested this on a variety of builds, from brand new install with just Windows (incl updates), VMWare Tools, View Agent and our Apex video driver, all the way up to a fully optimized build, and it happens every time.<br /><br />The system has GPO files in place, but it looks like all the entries are just 'not configured'.<br /><br />My network guy is very experienced, but is not a Windows guy, and I'm a Windows guy, but not a network expert, so between us, we're missing something.<br /><br />I am running out of places to look and so thought I'd toss this out there just in case anyone has seen it or has any ideas of things to try. Any ideas?Rob Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386986304409913158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228947945609574437.post-47606512204478701222014-06-29T20:00:09.380-04:002014-06-29T20:00:09.380-04:00@Vince Daly.

I was able to finally adjust after deploying a GPO but I also was able to change the text size by modifying the Registry. Now the issue is we can't change the desktop back ground. It will allow me to open a picture and right click and set as back ground but it want actually change. I'm thinking it might be because the video card doesn't support Aero. I'm going to try your suggestion and see if that works. We are using VMWare and Windows 7 as the OS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228947945609574437.post-55380821313290188772014-01-09T16:13:18.027-05:002014-01-09T16:13:18.027-05:00Do you realize that with Desktop Search enabled an...Do you realize that with Desktop Search enabled and using non-persistent desktops that refresh automatically, you are rebuilding the desktop search index on every VM each time the user logs off and back on? It would be ok if you could redirect where the index file gets built built but at this time I don't think this is possible. Darrell Hixnoreply@blogger.com
