I put myself out there, and I grew as both an IT Professional and a person, and along the way, I made new connections and new friends, and my experience at VMworld this year was different because of it.

My employer works in the construction industry, and we have projects across the country. These jobs often require heavy 3D graphics to support the Autodesk REVIT MEP suite for building information management, and that means deploying workstations that can run MEP effectively to these locations.

The features of the Horizon Suite would change this. Engineers and Project Managers would be able to access a desktop with AutoCAD from Safari on an iPad or Chromebook from any jobsite anywhere in the country and provide feedback to engineers in the office. Engineers would be able to go onsite and work with CAD without having to lug around a 30 pound workstation laptop.

Before we can install Composer, we need to create an ODBC Data Source to connect to the Composer database. The database and the account for accessing the database were created in Part 6. Composer can be installed once the ODBC data source has been created.

Composer can either be installed on your vCenter Server or on a separate Windows Server. The first option is only available if you are using the Windows version of vCenter. This walkthrough assumes that Composer is being installed on a separate server.

Note: The ODBC DSN setup can be launched from within the installer, but I prefer to create the data source before starting the installer. The steps for creating the data source are the same whether you launch the ODBC setup from the start menu or in the installer.

Note: The SQL Server Native Client is not installed by default. If you are connecting to a database on another server, you will need to download and install the native client for SQL Server 2008 R2 from Microsoft (direct download link).

5. When the Create a New Data Source wizard launches, you will need to enter a name for the data source, a description, and the name of the SQL Server that the database resides on. If you have multiple instances on your SQL Server, it should be entered as ServerName\InstanceName. Click next to continue.

6. Select SQL Server Authentication. Enter your SQL Server username and password that you created above. Optional: Check the Connect to SQL Server to obtain default settings box to retrieve the default settings from the server. Click Next to continue.

9. If your database settings are correct, you will see the windows below. If you do not see the TESTS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY, verify that you have entered the correct username and password and that your login has the appropriate permissions on the database object. Click OK to return to the previous window.

7. After the data source has been configured, you will need to select the port that Composer will use for communicating with the View Connection Servers. You also have the option of selecting an existing certificate if you have installed one.

So now that Composer is installed, what can we do with it? Not much at the moment. A connection server is required to configure and use Composer for linked clone desktops, and the next post in this series will cover how to install that Connection Server.

Back in Part 4, I mentioned that Horizon View required up to a few service accounts to function properly. One of these accounts is for accessing vCenter to provision and manage the virtual machines that users will connect to. The other service account is for View Composer and will manage the accounts within Active Directory. This account is not required if you are not planning to use View Composer and Linked Clones within your environment.

The first account that needs to be created is a service account that View will use for accessing vCenter. Horizon View uses this account for provisioning and power operations. The service account should be a standard Active Directory domain user account without any additional administrator-level rights on the domain or on the vCenter server.

There are a couple of different ways to configure your Horizon View environment, sp the actual rights required by vCenter will vary. I will be using View Composer in this series, so I will be setting up the vCenter Service Account with the permissions required to use View Composer.

Note: If you are not using View Composer, or you plan to use View Composer and Local Mode, different permissions will be required in vCenter. Please see Chapter x of the Horizon View 6.0 Installation Guide for more details on the permissions that need to be assigned to the service account.

After the role has been created, we will need to assign permissions for our vCenter Server service account to the vCenter root. To do this from the roles screen, you will need to go back to the vCenter Web Client Home screen and take the following steps:

The Events Database requires a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database server, and it should be installed on an existing production database server. There are two parts to configuring the events database. The first part, creating the database and the database user, needs to be done in SQL Server Management Studio before the event database can be configured in View Administrator. The steps for configuring Horizon View to use the Events database will happen in another post.

Note: SQL Server named instances are configured to use dynamic ports. This means that SQL Server will use a new port every time the server is restarted. The events database does not support dynamic ports, so a static port will need to be configured and the SQL instance restarted prior to configuring the events database in View. For instructions on how to configure a static ports in SQL Server, please see this article.

After this account has been created, you need to delegate permissions to it on the OU (or OUs) where your VDI desktops will be placed. If you use the structure like the one I outlined above, you only need to delegate permissions on the top-level OU and permission inheritance, if turned on, will apply them to any child or grandchild objects beneath it.

Note: Although granting this account Domain Administrator or Account Operator permissions may seem like an easy way to grant it the permissions it needs, it will grant a number of other permissions that are not needed and could pose a security risk if that account is compromised. Only the required permissions should be granted in a production environment.

The account will also need to be granted local administrator rights on the Composer server. If the account is not a local administrator, you will not be able to configure Composer from within the View Administrator.

The steps below will walk through setting up the Composer database. If your Composer database is located on a separate server, you will have to use SQL authentication, and the steps for creating the SQL user are included.

4. Enter a login name such as viewComposerDB or viewComposerUser, select SQL Server Authentication, and enter a password twice. You may also need to disable Enforce Password Expiration or Enforce Password Policy depending on your environment. Click OK to create the account. Note: Check with your DBA on password policy settings.

If you read my previous series on View 5.3, the post about SSL certificates was the last regular post in the series, and it came after the other components were installed and configured. In an production environment, you would most likely install the SSL certificates before installing the Horizon View components.

Note: If you use the walkthrough to set up your PKI environment., you will need to alter the configuration file to remove the AlternateSignatureAlgorithm=1 line. This feature does not appear to be supported on vCenter and can cause errors when importing certificates.

Horizon View 6.0 handles certificates the same way as Horizon View 5.3. Certificates are stored in the Windows certificate store, so the best way of generating certificate requests is to use the certreq.exe certificate tool. This tool can also be used to submit the request to a local certificate authority and accept and install a certificate after it has been issued.

A certificate request inf file that you can use as a template is below. To use this template, copy and save the text below into a text file, change the file to match your environment, and save it as a .inf file.

Note: When creating a certificate, the state or province should not be abbreviated. For instance, if you are in Wisconsin, the full state names should be used in place of the 2 letter state postal abbreviation.

Once you have a certificate request, it needs to be submitted to the certificate authority. The process for doing this can vary greatly depending on the environment and/or the third-party certificate provider that you use.

2. If you have installed the Horizon View components, and you are using a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed from a different CA, you will need to change the friendly name of the old certificate and restart the Connection Server or Security Server services.

Horizon View requires the certificate to have a friendly name value of vdm. The template that is posted above sets the friendly name of the new certificate to vdm automatically, but this will conflict with any existing certificates.

Unfortunately, Horizon View Composer uses a different method of managing certificates. Although the certificates are still stored in the Windows Certificate store, the process of replacing Composer certificates is a little more involved than just changing the friendly name.

Amos provides you with powerful and easy-to-use structural equation modeling (SEM) software. Create more realistic models than if you used standard multivariate statistics or multiple regression models alone. Using Amos, you specify, estimate, assess, and present your model in an intuitive path diagram to show hypothesized relationships among variables.
