As the question states I have a rather frustrating issue where my PCoIP zero client will not connect to the assigned virtual machine in the desktop pool in Horizon 7 it attempts to connect and then fails with the following error;
Your last commen helps, if this is a dedicated machine to a single user, can you confirm that no admins are connected to it using RDP, you can see any connections under sessions in horizon view admin page
Hi Experts , Is there any possible ways to copy or paste files in Vmware Horizon client shared folder?
In my scenario I have to copy files from shared folder in vmware horizon client into local machine for DU process. Post DU process again i have to create separate folder in shared folder(vmware horizon client ) with current date and paste the file. Thankyou in advance

You can enable folder sharing for a specific virtual machine. To set up a folder for sharing between virtual machines, you must configure each virtual machine to use the same directory on the host system or network share.
Whenever I start vmware horizon client, there are appearing those ping spikes after about every 30 seconds and last between 2-4 seconds. Very rarely they also appear when not using vmware. I do not have this issue, when I use my laptop with integrated intel dual band wireless adapter. I tested another Realtek wlan adapter and get the same issues. does it appear with realtek products? I already installed the driver provided by you ( -link.com/beta/2021/202101/20210108/RTLWlanU_WindowsDriver_1030.41.0514.2020_Drv_3.00.0036(26078).zip). I also tested the driver here Download fr Archer T3U TP-Link Deutschland and tested also without any driver installations from you, just from windows.
Installing Horizon Client From the Command Line at VMware Docs has instructions on how to install the Horizon Client silently. Common methods for installing the client silently include: SCCM and Active Directory Group Policy Computer Startup Script.
VMware Fling View Auto-Connection Utility: The View Auto-Connection Utility allows you to connect the VMware View Client automatically into a View desktop or an application pool when the system starts up.
In the Horizon Client, each desktop/app icon has a star icon you can click, or right-click an icon and Mark as Favorite. Favorites are stored in the LDAP database on the Horizon Connection Server.
When you connect to a Horizon Connection Server, and if the certificate is not trusted or valid, then the user is prompted to accept the certificate. You can disable this prompt for any client machine that can be controlled using group policy.
When you install the Horizon Agent component, be sure to select the scanner redirection feature if you want to use it; it is disabled by default. If you are installing the feature onto a server-based OS (Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2) for either VDI desktops or RDSH desktops or applications, then be sure that the Desktop Experience feature (a Microsoft operating system feature) is installed on the server OS first. (This is a prerequisite for installing scanners in a server-based OS.)
After a user makes a connection from a compatible Windows Horizon Client to the new Horizon Agent, a new tool-tray application icon appears. The user clicks the icon to reveal the compatible image acquisition devices available for scanning.
Scanner Redirection Preferences, available by clicking Preferences from the tool-tray icon, allows further configuration of the scanning process, for example, adjusting the default compression applied to the scanning. This can greatly reduce the bandwidth needed to transmit the image (the compression is applied on the client side before the image is transmitted to the guest), but, of course, the more an image is compressed, the lower the image quality. In addition, in the Scanner Redirection Preferences, options are available to adjust the default image capture device (for example, automatic mode, last-used, or an absolute specified device).
These preferences can also be adjusted by way of Group Policy options in the guest OS. A new GPO file (available in the Horizon with View GPO Bundle) allows this configuration. See Configuring Scanner Redirection in Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View for more information
Horizon 7.7 and newer with Horizon Client 4.10 and newer have a new VMware Integrated Printing (aka VMware Advanced Printing) feature that replaces the older ThinPrint technology. ThinPrint is no longer available in Horizon Agent 2006 and newer.
Some published applications might have file types associated with them. When you double-click a file with the configured extension, you might be prompted to open the file using the remote application.
From the Horizon Connection Server webpage, you can click the VMware Horizon View HTML Access link to launch a desktop or application inside your browser. While Internet Explorer 9 is supported, some functionality, like clipboard and audio, is only available in Internet Explorer 10 and newer, Chrome and Firefox.
From Chris Halstead VMware Horizon View AutoConnection Utility: I decided to write an app in .NET that is essentially a wrapper for the View Client. It creates the command line variables based on what the user configures in the GUI and automatically connects to the specified desktop or application pool. All of the user configured information is stored in the registry under the current user hive.
This will run the application with the GUI hidden and will automatically connect to the specified pool. The application will minimize to the system tray and a balloon will indicate the connection process is occurring.
Horizon Client may already be installed.
To connect, start the Horizon Client and enter the server address.
If the Client is not installed, you may download it from the link below.
Contact your local Administrator if you have any questions.
Horizon Client
Hello Carl,
I have tried the second solution to set enable.download and enable.webclient to false (lower case), restarted Connection server and it still shows VDI URL getting accessed via public internet. I am running Horizon version 8.8.0-21073894.
My VDI URL and IP is on F5 VIP with 2 UAGs in the pool.
Where do we need to remove the NAT or are there any changes we can make at F5 level to block public internet accessing getting to the point where accessing VDI URL gets them to download Horizon client page.
I have devices with the Horizon Client v5.0.0.5596 (auto upgrade is off) and we are going to install 2012 8.1.0.15949 using SCCM. Does the new client upgrade the existing client on the Windows PC or should I remove the previous version prior to installing the new client version?
I have tried to setup the settings under the client options, shared more than one drive, but unfortunately when the user login no drives are visible, only the mapped drives appear. I usually share Overdrive folder, we have our folders that are important, nothing on the GPOs has changed, only the master image.
Any suggestions what should I do to fix this issue?
Hello Carl one of our corporations are now on our domain and using Xendesktop windows 10, however a lot of them are connecting back to VMware horizon and using VMWARE remote via the xendesktop session, do you recommend we should use the latest front end horizon application and are there any similar optimizations which can be implemented similar to how our citrix team optimized the wifica32.exe for legacy XenApp 6.5 access from Xendesktop , The problem we have is constant high cpu usage usually around 30%
Supporting a small environment that is still on 5.2. After updating some clients to 4.10 they get a disconnection right after clicking on the desktop icon. Has anyone ran into this? Is this due to TLS 1.0 being disabled?
Quick query re: Horizon 7 and published applications. From testing, it seems that if you try and open a file located on a UNC path (i.e.a network redirected folder), and select Open With to launch a published application, the Horizon View client opens the application, but unsuccessfully tries to pass the file through as a \\tsclient hosted file. This of course fails, but suggests that in order to open any UNC hosted files, the user must do this within the published application, rather than leveraging a simple double click. Are you aware of this limitation? Mapping the UNC path as a fixed drive letter is a workaround but surely this is more of a known and widespread issue?
