Have a customer that is implementing View4 with PCoIP and dual screens.
They are very happy with the solution except for one thing, performance of Oracle Forms was bad, there was some extra latency when typing and moving between different input fields and they suspected PCoIP and asked if there where some settings to tweak.
After some investigation it turned out to be a problem with the Java version and Oracle Forms in the virtual machine and had nothing to do with the display protocol.
The solution was to start Oracle Forms with …

A few folks have run into issues with View 4 where PCoIP doesn’t work exactly as they expect. This manifests itself in a couple of different ways:
- Inability to resize the screen at all
- Resizing that only works down instead of up.
- Resizing that responds very slowly or that crashes after several resize attempts.
- Inability to switch between full-screen and windowed.
There are also known issues with the .NET framework, where applications based on this code will not render correctly if it was installed before the View Agent.
The following is a set of steps …

VMware just released the Version 3.1.1, a new maintenance release of VMware View. You’ll find the details on the VMware View web site.

VMware View already came with USB redirection in his early stages but now with View 3.1, released last week it becomes more flexible. By default HID (Human interface devices) are filtered out because it wouldn’t be good to have the local keyboard, mouse or other device which is needed local, redirected to the virtual desktop session.

Yesterday a customer asked me how to use Windows roaming profiles just on the virtual desktops and not on the local desktops from which the user is connecting. Those local desktops are also a member of the Active Directory and the connecting user has a profile path configured in his user setting within the Active Directory.

Since VMware View does only support Microsoft Active Directory Service as directory service, Novell eDirectory users need another way to get their environment working with the VMware virtual desktop infrastructure. First of all you will definitely need an Active Directory to integrate the View Manager with so that the users can logon and get authenticated. To get the users from the eDirectory in sync with the Active Directory you should use the standard Novell tools.

There is a new version of VMware View available for download at the VMware website. The version 3.1 includes loads of new features and great improvements. VMGuru.nl already has updated to the new version and wrote about it on their blog.
