View Connection Server does not see any source

[Retcher]

Hello,

I have a really big problem, my View-Connection Server doesn't see any Desktop-Source. I had seen some sources but not all some houres ago. To this time I didn't saw the sources I need so have done a lot of trys to see this source. Over all I haven't had luck, and now I see no source.

The problems started with a Windows Server 2003 EE SP2 VM, which I need for a training to be deployed with view. I haven't seen this VM, either I chosse linked-clones or not.

The event log of this VM show, that the TP AutoConnect Server service didn't start right.

I hope have some ideas which will help me to solve this problem.

greetings

So the View-Connection Server now sees the Windows 2003 Server but not under the point desktop sources but under registered Terminal Services Sources.

Any Ideas?

You can only use a Server OS in a terminal services pool. If you want to setup a desktop you will need to use a supported desktop OS. You can find supported operating systems in the admin guide, .

Ok, but why does I see a Windows Server 2008 under the possibilities when creating a automated desktop Pool?

[mittim12]

It is my experience that sometimes Windows 2008 gets flagged as Vista. Do they show up as type 2008 under the screen where you have the option to choose?

Ok, so is their any possibility to get this running? Do I have to tell my boss that this is not running.

Is placing it in TS mode and setting it up as a TS source an option?

Not really, but how are this VMs flaged? How does the View-Server notice that this VM is a Windows Server 2003. The VM is off so the VMware Tools are not running.

Maybe it's keyed off the type of machine it's registered as in Virtual Center.

I have just seen in Admin Guide that this config is no supported. So this topic has been solved by looking in the Admin guide.
