Horizon Instant Clone -VM Replica and Template in inaccessible state

In the various maintenance activities of a Horizon infrastructure, it can happen to find VMs of the instant clone chain in an inaccessible state. (Caused by issues on hosts or vCenter such as sudden shutdowns without properly maintaining Horizon Desktop Pools.)

In the VMware Horizon solution there is a tool, from the command line, that allows the cleaning of these objects.

The tool is present in the directory

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\tools\bin>

of one of the connection servers of the Horizon infrastructure

The command is iccleanup.cmd

The first step is to connect to the vCenter in question by launching the following command

iccleanup.cmd -vc <fqdn of vCenter> -uid <administrative user>

Once you have entered the password you will have the possibility to list the VMs of the instant clone infrastructures implemented on that vCenter with the LIST command

Or delete objects in an inaccessible state, for example:

With the delete –index 2 command

Descrizione generata automaticamente

Until a few weeks, my Home Lab was composed of two physical ESXi nodes (respectively an INTEL NUC NUC8i3BEH and an HP Desktop HP ProDesk 600 G2 DM), with 32 GB of RAM each and 5 TB of total disk.

For my testing activities, especially in VDI (Horizon) and some vSAN (implemented a 2-node cluster to test the operation of Shared Disks for Microsoft clusters) could be enough.

But the desire to test vSphere 8 (vSAN etc …) and the possibility of trying the Kubernetes world was pushing me to evaluate an expansion of my Home LAB ……….

………. And thanks to COHESITY and the vEXPERT community at VMware EXPLORER in Barcelona I was able to have my expansion…. a beautiful Maxtang NX6412 NX6412-Maxtang-A premier manufacturer (maxtangpc.com)

Image containing electronic, projector

Auto-generated description

here’s how I activated the new HW:

  • Equipment
    • Being barebones I had to buy RAM and DISK, taking advantage of Black Friday I bought:
      • Timetec 1TB SSD 3D NAND TLC SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 NGFF 512TBW
      • Transcend JM3200HSE-32G 32GB DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMM 2Rx8 1.2V

Image containing text, electronic, circuit

Auto-generated description

For the RAM I will proceed to evaluate an expansion with an additional 32GB bank

  • Installation
    • Updated vCenter to version 8
    • Installed ESXi version 8 on a USB stick (Using VMware Workstation and installing ESXi from an ISO on my USB stick) and used it to boot from Maxtang.

At this point I encountered the first problem, the two network cards are not compatible… I had to use a USB dongle -> Ethernet and I managed to start everything (Thanks also to the community drivers USB Network Native Driver for ESXi | VMware Flings

    • I finally added ESXi to my vCenter
  • First use
    • The first thing I did was use William Lam’s script to deploy a vSAN 8

Automated vSphere & vSAN 8 Lab Deployment Script (williamlam.com)

    • I configured the HA of my vCenter
    • Now I’m trying to improve my know-how on Tanzu and WorkSpace One

So THANK YOU vEXPERT, VMware and COHESITY

AppVolume DB – How to see User – Application association

I need to find on AppVolume DB the association from User and Application.

I took a look at my APPvolume test DB and I think it looks like this:

  • In the table dbo.app_assignment_entities I find the mapping:

user (target_id) –> assigning the application (app_assignment_id)

Image containing table

Auto-generated description

  •  In the dbo.users table I find my users, so from that table I associate the target_id (ID column of the table) to my user:

Image containing text, screenshots, internals

Auto-generated description

  • while in the dbo.app_assignments table I translate the application assignment id (app_assignment_id, in this table it is l’id, found in the dbo.app_assignment_entities table) into the actual application id (app_product_id)

  • I translate the defined ID of the application (app_product_id) to the name of the application in Table dbo_app_products

I give a practical example my user “Piccoli Brividi” has 3 applications associated so:

  • In the table dbo.app_assignment_entities I find in column target_id three times the value 2
  • in the dbo.users table I find that id 2 corresponds to “Piccoli Brividi”

at this point we translate the application, “Piccoli Brividi” has the apps_Assignment_id 9,15 and 16

  • In the dbo.app_assignments table I find that ID 9 is associated with app_product_id 5, 15 7 and 16 2
  • I go to the table dba_approducts and find out the name of the applications associated with my user “Piccoli Brividi”

App_product_id (id) 5 –> FoxitWin11

App_product_id (id) 7 –> IBM personal communication

App_product_id (id) 2 –> notepad++

and I correspond to what I see from GUI.

VMware ThinAPP

ThinApp is an application virtualization (Agent-Less) solution.

Application virtualization, therefore, the use of ThinApp, allows us to:

  • Coexist different versions of the same application on the same Operating System
  • Use Windows 7 and Windows XP applications on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems and thus simplify the migration from outdated operating systems to a modern OS
  • Reduce IT support and related Help Desk costs
  • Increase user mobility
  • Stream applications

In detail, ThinApp captures the installation of one or more applications (including files and registry keys that are modified) in an ecosystem that looks like a single executable file.

The executable file is portable on other systems (of the same version or different) and we can control the level of interaction with the operating system on which we are going to run the application and with other applications in our system.

ThinApp allows various ways of isolation using a sandbox:

  • FULL
  • MERGED
  • WRITE

During the creation of the virtualized package, we can choose only two of the previous options (MERGE and WRITECOPY) the third (FULL) we can activate by modifying an INI file post-capture of the installation

In the following diagrams, we find the three modes

The Sandbox is our box where changes to the ThinApp package that the end user performs during use can (depending on the isolation mode chosen) be saved.

The sandbox is:

  • Customizable the path where it resides
    • Editable in .ini file that generates application capture
    • Can reside in the same directory as the ThinApp EXE
    • Can be on a network share
    • By default is %appdata%\thinstall\application
  • Each user has his own sandbox
  • Resetting application configurations is executable by deleting the sandbox

The distribution of a ThinApp is feasible in several ways:

  • Using a network share and running application streaming
  • Using it from a USB device
  • Copying it to your computer

The use of the network share for the distribution of ThinApp packages allows an easy updating of the packages themselves.

Using Secondary Image on Instant Clone Desktop Pool (VMware Horizon)

In the management of a pool of Instant Clone (IC) VMs in a VMware Horizon infrastructure, one of the most useful aspects for a system administrator is the ability to make updates by modifying the GoldImage, subsequently generating a new Snapshot of it and applying it to all the VM ICs of the Pool.

Since version 2111, we have the possibility to use a “second image” in the same Pool to allow the deployment of this second image in a “selective” way on only some VMs.

This allows us to test the changes made only on a limited number of users.

Let’s see how it works, in my Home Lab where I have a Pool of type IC with Guest OS Windows 11.

The VMs (in this case there are 2) point to the following snapshot of the GoldImage:

Let’s proceed to update the VMware Tools on the Gold image, where the version is currently present

Immagine che contiene testo

Descrizione generata automaticamente

Post update we have the following version

We proceed with turning off the GoldImage and create the snapshot to use.

Once the snapshot is created, we go to the Desktop Pool and proceed to assign the snapshot created as a secondary image.

We select the option to publish it as a second image

If we want to select now the VM IC on which to push we put the flag to:

In my case we will select after the VMs ICs

We wait for the secondary image to be ready for deployment

When it is ready we will be able to see the following in the details of the pool

!

At this point in the “Machines (Instant Clone Details)” menu, you will enable the following option:

We select the VM on which we want to apply the image and proceed:

And we wait for this to be applied

Let’s try to connect with two different users to the same pool to see the differences between the two VMs and we will notice that one IC has the updated VMware tools and the other does not

Once all the tests of the changes have been carried out, we have three possibilities:

  • Apply the default image to the VM on which we tested the subimage
  • Authorize the second image as Default
  • Delete the second image because it doesn’t meet your needs

Script for removing and installing Horizon agent

Requirements:

  • Share containing the installation file of the Horizon agent version and a . bat containing the command to silently install the Horizon agent
  • List of VMs on which to perform the operation
  • A user to access vCenter with administrative rights
  • One user to install horizon agent on VMs

The script includes:

  • Credential request
    • First request the user to access the vCenter (line 6)
    • Second request the user to remove and install the Horizon Agent on the VMs (line 8)
  • Import the VM list (line 12)
  • Connecting to the vCenter (line 13)
  • Part a for each machine contained in the file with the list of VMs (line 14)
  • Check if the Horizon Agent is present (line 25)
  • If present, remove it and reboot (line 29), if not present, switch to the installation fa
  • Installing the Horizon agent (line 54)
    • Share mount
    • Running the .bat contained in the share
  • Waiting for the installation to finish and reboot

There are 3 “procedures” in the script

For  verification if the Horizon Agent is installed (line 18 to 20):

$script = @”

Get-WmiObject Win32_Product -filter “Name=’VMware Horizon Agent'” | Select Caption

” @

For the removal the Horizon  agent (line 22 to 24):

$removeapp= @”

wmic Product Where “Name=’VMware Horizon Agent'” Call Uninstall /NoInteractive

” @

For agent installation (Line 50 to 54):

$installapp = @”

New-PSDrive -Name “S” -Root “\\vimng03\share” -Persist -PSProvider “FileSystem”

S:\agentinstallv8.bat

” @

In this last agent installation procedure, you must modify:

  • S 🡪 letter with which the share will be temporarily mounted on the VM (which we can change but must also be modified in the installation file .Bat
  • \\vimng03\share –> put the share where you want the Horizon agent installation file and the installation file .bat
  • S:\agentinstallv8.bat is the file that will install the agent in silently mode

Where inside it is start:

s:\VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-8.0.0-16530789.exe /s /v”/qn ADDLOCAL=BlastUDP,Core,HelpDesk,RDP,RTAV,TSMMR,USB,VmVideo,VmwVaudio,VmwVdisplay,VmwVidd”

to be parameterized according  VMware’s guide.

in my case the file will look like this

#The script need:
#List the VMs name where remove e reinstall the agent (file c:\vdi.txt or where you want)
#Share where is the horizon agent installation file and the file agentinstallv8.bat that contain the silent command for installation
#When the script start ask the vCenter Credential and the Admin User Credential for install the Horizon Agent on the VM
#Credential for access to vCenter
$credential = Get-Credential
#Credential with administrator role for install horizon agent 
$VMCredential = Get-Credential
#vcenter
$vcenter = "<FQDNvCenter>"
#List of VMs where remove e install new agent version
$VDIs = Get-Content "c:\vdi.txt"
connect-viserver $vcenter -Credential $credential
foreach ($VDI in $VDIs){
$VM = Get-VM -Name $VDI
Write-Host "Start remove agent from $VM"
#Script for verify if the agent is installed
$script = @"

"@
$value = Invoke-VMScript -VM $VM -ScriptType Powershell -ScriptText $script -GuestCredential $VMCredential

VMware Horizon infrastructures often have the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) component to enable a secure connection from outside your corporate network to VDI.

This positioning makes the UAG subject to frequent updates, today we will see how to update it.

*VMware recommends at least two network adapters in two different segments for production environments

  • One for internet traffic (I call it the EXT-DMZ)
  • One for traffic to the internal LAN (I call it the INT-DMZ)

It is possible to create environments with 1 or 3 network adapters, in the first case VMware recommends only one card only for test environments, and in the second to also differentiate the management traffic that otherwise, in the two-card configuration would pass through the card that communicates with the internal LAN.

At this point we can proceed with the deployment of the virtual appliance:

  • The first step is Shutdown the old UAG Virtual Appliance (I suppose do you have at least two UAGs with a Load Balancer in front and at least a DNS round-robin for balancing the traffic to the Connection server)

.\uagdeploy.ps1 -iniFile UAG_Settings_VIUAG04.ini

Administrator: Windows PowerShell 
uag ep oy2203> 
uag ep oy. PSI

Allow CEIP

Insert password for PFX Certificate File

Insert a new (or reuse the old) password for the Root account (for access to UAG OS) and Admin account (for access to UAG WEB admin console)

Waiting to complete the UAG Deploy (You can check the process from the vCenter task)

Now the new UAG virtual appliance is up and running!! Test it and apply the same step for all UAG virtual appliances of your VMware Horizon Infrastructure.

Script to see Datastore Permission

Last day in the VMware Community I saw a request for:

“I have AD group like mydomain\mygroup.

This group have access for many datastores.

How i can use powercli to get full list of datastores which the group can manage?”

I made this PowerCLI script:

$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-ViServer <vcenter-FQDN>; -Credential $cred
$datastores = Get-Datastore | Select Name
$groupAD = "domain\group"
$report = @()
foreach ($datastore in $datastores) {
  $report +=  Get-VIPermission
