Today, I had an issue with a customer that had problems with their HorizonApps Instant clones farm. While provisioning a new version of the image, it failed with the following error: Fault type is VC_FAULT_FATAL – A specified parameter was not correct: vm.ctkEnabled. The customer already mentioned that they found the following KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76280 But after applying the workaround […]
With the new year upon us, it is time to lift the vale on the next chapter in the Belgian VMUG endeavor. I am very happy to say that I can call myself officially a VMUG Leader for the Belgian community as of today. But first, we want to thank Erik Schils for the fantastic job he has done over […]

Deploying Horizon on VMC on AWS Limitations All solutions have limitations, Horizon on VMC on AWS also has multiple features that are currently not supported or never will be supported, for example, linked clones.

I know I have been quiet the last few months, but this is because I have been doing some large VMware PSO projects: designing Hybrid cloud solutions and implementing Horizon on VMC on AWS deployments. Which took most of my time but now I want to translate all the experiences I have had during these projects, into a nice blog article. […]
In today’s post, we will take a look at patching HPE Proliant Gen 10 servers running vSphere ESXi using HPE iSUT. This patching method allows sysadmins to install firmware updates to the server components directly from the ESXi SSH. This is a handy solution that provides an easy way of patching firmware and maintaining an overview. Of course, I can […]

In this article, I would like to share a small PowerShell script that should simplify the configuration of a VMware service account. This account will perform backup operations against VMware vCenter Server. The Rubrik CDM’s user guide recommends creating a new VMware vCenter Server Role. This role must contain the minimum permissions for the service account to operate correctly. Once […]
I wanted to write the last blog post for this year on some hidden gems that possibly some people do not know exist in VMware horizon 7 and 8. In this blog we will discuss a feature called cloud pod architecture that perhaps you already have read about in my VCAP DTM study guide. But for those that don’t have […]
Last week, I was fortunate to be able to do a session “In the trenches by day, aspiring to be an architect by night” at our own VMUG in Belgium. Together with my good friend Maarten Van Driessen, we did a session on how to best approach a new design from an architectural point of view. This was a high-level […]
