Hi,

We started experiencing some strange behaviour with our View 6.0.1 server that began yesterday. I suspect there were some configuration changes made on the server, but nobody’s fessing up.

Now, when we visit https://myviewserver.domain.local/admin, it displays the error “Your account is not allowed to operate through this console.”

This is prior to ever being asked to login.

So far, I’ve cleared my browser cache + restarted. I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled Horizon View on the server (keeping the database).

Neither of these resolved anything.

Has anyone ever run into this or have any ideas?

Many thanks.

Hi.

I see – there is a serious bug in that feature!

In particular scenario is following:

• Enable Shared Folders feature for VM (let say = “D:share” on host PC will be visible as “Z:HostShare” on VM)
  (here you can suspend/resume VM couple of times)
• On VM, using a shell script copy all *.h, *.c* files from “Z:HostSharesandboxmodulescoremyApp1source” to “D:sandboxmodulescoremyApp1source”
  (here you can suspend/resume VM couple of times and then repeat the same copy-operation)
• On host PC – open any of *.h, *.c* files which were copied on VM – edit it and try to save, Windows on host PC will report “file access error” – file is in-use and cannot be overwritten (or such)

Solution:

• go to VM, open VM Settings, disable Shared Folders feature, click [OK], then enable Shared Folders feature back

As I can see this bug is exists in VmWare Workstation for quite a long time (more than 3 years).

Could you pleas fix it, finally?

The idea is – Shared Folders feature MUST NOT EXCLUSIVELY LOCK FILES which were accessed from VM. Especially when these files were closed/released on VM.

Thank you in advance.

Dmitry.

Good day everyone,

I have just tried to install Windows Server Technology Preview under VMWare Player 6. But, when I beginning the installation, I get this error:

Windows cannot find microsoft software license terms

and installation fails. Bing says it is something about memory size, but I assigned 8GB of memory to this virtual machine and still get same error.

Could you help me to fix this issue?
