During maintenance on a customer’s VMware VMC on AWS environment, I had an upgrade error with the VMware HCX server mesh appliances. And this was something that was not really documented online, so I wanted to blog about it. During the upgrade of the VMware HCX service mesh, I got an error. The initial HCX Cloud and Enterprise appliance did […]
Continuing our VCAP7-DTM design study guide, we will continue with section 4: physical storage design. In sections 1 to 3 of the blueprint, we started with the logical and conceptual designs of the VMware methodology. Based on this we created the physical design, which should contain all building blocks that are going to be used for that specific use-case. Based […]
When redeploying my Horizon lab today, I encountered a strange issue when configuring the identity manager. I tried to add my active directory into Identity Manager (IDM), but got the following error: “Connector communication failed because of invalid data: Invalid token suite“. The deployment of my lab was pretty straight forward as in 1 connection server, 1 IDM appliance and […]
In the previous post of our VCAP7-DTM design study guide, we discussed sections 1 and 2 of the blueprint. These were logical and conceptual designs of the VMware methodology. Now based on these, we will continue our design and start with the physical part of the designing process. Once more, designing a solution for a customer is an agile process. […]
I recently passed my VCAP7-DTM Design (3V0-752) at VMware Empower 2019 in Lisbon and wanted to share my experiences and give you some advice on a small VCAP7-DTM Design study guide. As I recently passed the VCP-DTM 2019 exam, I thought the VCAP exam would be similar but this was not the case. It was a difficult exam that tested […]
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about configuring Onedrive for a Horizon VDI/RDS deployment with VMware UEM. While the guide was a good and flexible way of configuring OneDrive for specific users. The setup had one major drawback being the Onedrive Installation was done in user context and not machine based. Meaning when a user logged onto the […]
This is part 2 of “Configuring LACP on VMware ESXi”, If you did not yet read part 1, we highly suggest doing so. In the previous post, we made a step by step approach on how to configure the LAG on VMware vCenter. In this blog, we will be continue our configuration on the physical switch and show validation and […]
While LACP on VMware ESXi has been around for a while, I noticed that many of our customers do not like to implement this feature in their environment. Reasons vary between, complexity, incorrect understanding on the ‘added value’ and many more. Because of these reasons, I had a discussion on this topic with my colleague and co-blogger Jens. As a […]
My colleague Robin Geldolf and me have recently been experiencing a 404 “webpage not found” error, when connecting to the admin page, after upgrading your Horizon connection server. To my current experience, this is for all versions from Horizon 7.7 and higher. And does not always happen as there is no mentioning of it on the known/resolved issues on the […]
Following guide will describe how to configure OneDrive in combination with VMware UEM. With the granularity of making OneDrive only available for a specific group of users. Or depending on the use-case available for everyone. UPDATE: I have written an update blog where I use the machine based Onedrive installer. I would advise to use a product like FSLogix to […]
