8 / How do I enable/Disable HDX Webcam and USB Audio for Citrix ICA?

There are two options to the ICA Global applet having to do with HDX web cams. They are “Enable Audio Input” and “Enable HDX WebCam”. By default these 2 options are enabled and both must be checked in order for a webcam to be available in a Citrix session (if supported by the Citrix Server)

We also have support for USB headsets or sound cards and improved detection of valid USB devices that support audio out.

Note:

When a USB headset/sound card is plugged in, it will become the active audio device. The Audio Device option is only active when a USB headset or sound card is connected to the thin client.

If the user selects the onboard audio device rather than the USB device, the USB devices will not become the active device. This is true until changes are made to the Sound Configuration panel without a USB device attached.

Anytime changes are saved from the Configuration panel with the Audio Device selection Disabled, the USB audio devices will become active when connected.

13 / My webcam is not working in VMware

Make certain the webcam is configured as shown below:

Here you can see the webcam working as it should in the VM with skype, but not the Logitech webcam software – mainly because the software is looking for the webcam itself, but with RTAV it will not redirect as the webcam.

22 / How can I install flash player on Linux version 9.10.0 and higher?

FLASH PLAYER IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE D520 SOC THIN CLIENTS (57Xx)

*** RDP now requires Flash to be installed locally on the thin client to play FLASH Videos (YouTube) ***

NOTES:

    !! Please make certain the date and time on the Linux thin client is correct !!

  • When the flash player is not installed, if you execute a browser session with a blank URL you will go directly to the Adobe Linux Flash Player install page.
    --- For a Citrix only thin client edit the Citrix settings and blank out the address for the Citrix server and then start the browser session --
  • When the unit is factory defaulted, the flash player remains
  • After installing on one unit, you can clone the flash player to other units using the manager template feature
  • Firmware version >= 9.10.0 does not have the flash player installed from the factory. It must be installed using the procedure below.
  • To check if the flash player is installed you can use about:plugins as the URL and it shows you the installed plugins....
  • Users will be able to upgrade firmware versions < 9.10.0 - in this case they do not need to re-install the flash player.
  1. To install the flash player define a browser session with a blank URL; the browser will go directly into the Adobe Linux Flash Player install page. Select Linux (32-bit) and Flash Player 11.2 for other Linux (.tar.gz).....

26 / I am no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP - I get a black screen or it just closes out.

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022830

Upgrading VMware Tools in a virtual desktop causes PCoIP connections to fail

Symptoms

  • Connections to virtual desktops using PCoIP fail
  • You are no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP
  • You have recently updated VMware Tools

    For example, you have installed ESX 4.0 Update 2, which updates VMware Tools, and you are no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP

Resolution

Prevention

To avoid this issue, do not upgrade to ESX 4.0 Update 2 if you are using View 4.x with PCoIP.

OR

You can install VMware Tools for ESX 4.0 Update 2 without the SVGA driver.

To install without the SVGA driver, after upgrading you VMware Tools package on ESX host, from vSphere Client:

  1. Right-click on the guest, and click Guest > Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.
  2. Ensure Automatic Tools Upgrade is selected
  3. Copy and paste the following text as it applies to your environment into Advanced Options:

    Note: Do note include line breaks when you copy the text. The line breaks are for formatting purposes only.

    For x86 guests:
    /s /v "/qn REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=WYSE,VMXNet,VMCI,Mouse,MemCtl,Hgfs,VSS,VMXNet3,vmdesched,ThinPrint,Sync,
    PVSCSI,Debug,BootCamp,Audio,Buslogic,VICFSDK,VAssertSDK,Toolbox,Upgrader,GuestSDK,
    PerfMon,Common,microsoft_dlls_x86,ArchSpecific"

    For x64 guests:
    /s /v "/qn REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=WYSE,VMXNet,VMCI,Mouse,MemCtl,Hgfs,VSS,VMXNet3,vmdesched,ThinPrint,Sync,
    PVSCSI,Debug,BootCamp,Audio,Buslogic,VICFSDK,VAssertSDK,Toolbox,Upgrader,
    GuestSDK,PerfMon,Common,microsoft_dlls_x64,ArchSpecific"
  4. Click OK. VMware Tools automatically upgrades in the guest, and the guest reboots.

Workaround

For customers that do not have a requirement to use PCoIP, you can use RDP. For more information on using RDP, see the VMware View Administration Guide.

For customers that are experiencing the issue and want to continue using PCoIP, use this workaround:

Note: VMware recommends that you have VMware View 4.0.1 installed prior to performing these steps.

  1. Log in to the affected virtual machine(s) with Administrator rights. This is any virtual machine that has the VMware Tools shipped with ESX 4.0 Update 2 installed.
  2. Rename the C:\Program File\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\Video folder to C:\Program File\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\Video-OLD.
  3. From a working virtual machine, copy the C:\Program File\Common Files\Vmware\Drivers\Video folder to C:\Program File\Common Files\Vmware\Drivers\ on an affected virtual machine.
  4. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.
  5. Click the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
  6. Expand Display Adapters.
  7. Choose VMWARE SVGA II. Right-click on it and choose Properties.
  8. Click the Driver tab. You are presented with the SVGA driver properties.

    The version is 11.6.0.34 (Driver Date 01/03/2010).
  9. Click Update Driver. The Hardware Update wizard displays.
  10. When prompted with the question, "Can windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?", click No, not at this time and click Next.
  11. When prompted with the question, "What do you want the wizard to do", click Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.
  12. Click Don't search. I will choose the driver to install and click Next.
  13. On the next screen, you are presented a list of two or more VMWARE SVGA II Versions to choose from. For example:

    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.31 (21/09/2009)
    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.32 (24/09/2009)
    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.34 (01/03/2010)

    Choose VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.32 (24/09/2009).
  14. Click Next. The driver begins installing.
  15. Click Continue Anyway when Windows notifies you that VMware SVGA II has not passed Windows logo testing.

    The driver install completes.
  16. Click Finish.
  17. Click YES when prompted to restart your computer.
  18. Verify that PCoIP is now working.

Note: VMware is investigating a permanent fix for the issue so our customers can upgrade to ESX 4.0 Update 2 without experiencing this issue.

We will update this article with more information as it becomes available.

27 / I am trying to connect to a Windows 7 VM via RDP protocol and I cannot get dual monitors to work.

PCoIP protocol is recommended for dual monitors. If using RDP protocol please refer to this article.

28 / When running a PowerPoint Presentation on a VM using VMware View Client is runs extremely slow.

VMware suggests to change the default video driver in the VM from "VMware SVGA 3D (Microsoft Corporation - DDM)" to the VMware driver from "c:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers\video"

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
29 / A duplicate copy of the same attached USB printer is seen inside the virtual desktop.

The duplicate printer appears because RDP printer redirection is enabled while USB redirection is enabled in the Virtual Desktop Manager Client.

RDP presents the printer through the printer redirection feature at the same time the USB device is presented by Virtual Desktop Manager to the virtual desktop.

To correct this issue, disable RDP printer redirection using either a registry key or a policy:

  • Modify the following registry key:
  • HKCU\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\RDP Settings\RedirectPrinters

    Set the value to false

31 / When I start a Linux VMware View session or attempt to select a VM desktop it immediately returns to the Connection Manager.

VMware View 5 is designed for security and by default requires a secure https connection using a preinstalled certificate.

If you are not using an https or secure connection to your VMware View Server then follow these steps.

  • When creating the connection on your 10ZiG thin client, choose the Advanced Tab and uncheck the Disconnect from server on logoff.
  • Now connect as normal to your VMware View Server as normal but you will now notice this prompt alerting that the Server is unsecure. On the initial set up of the connection.
  • Now click on File, Preferences
  • In the Preferences window change the Default connection type to ALLOW…(Not Secure) and click OK.
  • Now click on File, Quit
  • Choose your connection and click Connect and proceed to log on as normal and select your desktop.

32 / I am trying to set up my VMware View Connection Server 5.1 to use a self-signed certificate but it does recognize it as valid.

VMware View Connection Server now requires an SSL certificate that is signed by a CA (certificate authority) and that your clients can validate. To improve the security of VMware View deployments, VMware is deprecating support for View Client authentication and brokering over a non-secured HTTP connection. In the past, you could use the default self-signed certificate that is generated in the absence of a CA-signed certificate. With View 5.1, you must replace the default self-signed certificate as soon as possible. Self-signed certificates are shown as invalid in View Administrator.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
33 / How can I install CA certificates on the 8848v and 5848v?

Linux is diffrent that a WES OS in that you must manually install the certificate from a USB thumb drive

Go into Settings - Security and check Enable Installation from USB Storage


Copy the certificates in .crt or .pem format including the root and intermediate and place the USB thumb drive in the thin client. Once the thin client detects the USB thumb drive and sees the certificates it will present the following menu

Once the certificates are uploaded you can see them by taking the option for settings as seen below:

Select the certificates ICON

From the certificate option you can view the imported certificates and highlight then select Show for certificate details.

Change to view source of Base Certificates which have been preinstalled. Many of the common certificates are installed but if the required base certificate is one that has not been installed it must be installed using the USB method.

34 / I am using VMware Horizon View Administrator and Agent 5.3 but I cannot get my USB webcam to pass-through to the desktop from a Linux thin client.

Time to change the way we think! VMview no longer supports Webcams as USB devices! From VMware 2.2 they now use Real Time Audio Visual drivers RTAV (VMware's Remote Experience package must be installed on the desktop).

Since Linux still sees the device natively changes must be made in the USB redirection on the thin client. From the control panel/settings select USB Redirection and find the webcam and set it to be EXCLUDED as a USB Device.

The camera will work just fine for Skype, websites or any program/page that is looking for a webcam device. Please NOTE that the downloaded programs that come with the drivers for the cameras such as Logitech and Microsoft packages query the USB for the camera, so they do not work! You can test the webcam using www.test-my-cam.com

1 / Where can I find the LVD-HVD Demo Guide for the Q3?
arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
2 / How can I tell if I need HVD or LVD?

HVD version works with feature codes: 2729, 2749, 6501 and 6534

LVD version works with feature codes: 5702, 5705, 5710, 5712, 5715, 571A and 5736

Also works with all SCSI based tape systems regardless of the host.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
3 / I cannot HyperTerminal into the Q3?

Make certain you use the serial cable provided by BOSaNOVA

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
4 / I am getting the error on the Q3 Unit Attention Skey.

This is a normal message, not an error.

This indicates the host system has done a reset and then looked for information beyond just the inquiry and is normal at a start up. Unless the system issues another command that stays on the front panel.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
5 / Does the Q3 support active terminators?

No - the Q3 will not see the tape drive if an active terminator is used. The active terminators can cause errors on the bus when running at the faster speeds and are therefore not supported and should be replaced with a standard LVD terminator.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
6 / Can I use the Q3 with the IBM 3570?

Yes but when running on the iSeries you must ensure your customers do not select “use optimum block” to YES. This can cause problems if they do but selecting NO will work correctly and backups will run just as fast.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
7 / Can I use the Q3 on narrow SCSI (8 bit devices)?

Yes. You must however ensure that the bus termination is correct. This can be done in a number of ways and we can supply a special Y cable to allow standard wide cables and terminators to be used. We do support 68 way to 50 way cables but the Y cable method is the preferred solution.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
9 / Does the Q3 support SCSI 3590E drives and if so are there any special considerations?

Yes but you need to be aware that the 3590 uses a special cable end as there is no place to terminate the bus without this special cable end. We can supply a 1 foot cable that fits on to the end of the standard cable supplied with the Q3 to allow this to be terminated correctly.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
10 / Does the Q3 support Single Ended SCSI devices?

Yes, the standard LVD SCSI Q3 units will support single ended SCSI hosts and / or single ended SCSI tapes.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
11 / Does the Q3 support Differential SCSI devices?
There is an HVD version of the Q3 which supports High Voltage differential units which are commonly known simply as differential. You must use this version as the LVD Q3 does not support these devices.
arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
12 / We presently have the older Differential Interfaced tapes but are soon going to be moving to a new system which will have LVD interfaced tapes. Can I read tapes written on the HVD drives if we then purchase an LVD Q3 for the new units?

Yes. All Q3 units be they LVD, HVD or fibre channel are interchangeable as long as the two user keys and the customer unique hard key are the same.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
13 / How do I set the SCSI ID on the Q3?

You do not set an ID on the Q3. When it is powered up it will scan the Tape side bus for a device and then set itself to appear as that device type and ID automatically.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
14 / We purchased an HVD Q3 last year but are looking to upgrade our system soon and will go to LVD drives, is it possible to upgrade our existing Q3 to handle the LVD drives?

Yes this is something that is quite straightforward. Contact you sales rep to discuss the best method of making the changes to fit in with your needs.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
15 / The display shows “Off Line”, what is wrong?

This is not indicating that the Q3 is off line, it simply indicates that the host has issued a command to the tape drive and this has responded as being “off line” usually because no tape is loaded. Often the system issues a Tape Unit Ready command after it issues a load and repeats this until it gets a positive response indicating the tape has now loaded.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
16 / I cannot change the status from secure to unsecure using the GUI

The tape drive must either be at BOT (Beginning of Tape) or unloaded in order to change the status. This is to ensure a tape cannot be part encrypted and part in plain text

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
17 / Does the Q3 support more than one tape drive?

The standard units are configured to support only a single tape device but with special firmware can support up to four legacy tape drives where throughput is limited. It is normal to use them in a one to one configuration for better throughput and system resilience but if you feel your existing infrastructure is suitable for the multi drive firmware please discuss this with your sales rep.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
18 / Do we need to have special configuration to deal with different drive types?

The Q3 “recognizes” the attached tape drive types and will reconfigure buffers and EOT amounts automatically to ensure for flexibility and ease of integration and support.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
19 / If I lose my unit and the spare unique ID chip is my data gone forever?

No. We can supply a new or replacement unit with your original ID chips to ensure whatever the disaster you can have the correct hardware to restore your data. All you must have is the users keys used to produce the tapes.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
20 / Is it possible for the user to upgrade the unit firmware themselves?

Yes this is possible and a special GUI is available to make this as simple as possible. It should be noted however that the keys and passwords must be re-entered after the new firmware is loaded.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
21 / Does the Q3 only work with tape drives?

The standard units are designed especially for tape drives but a special version that supports Ultra Density Optical discs is also available to special order. Please ask your sales rep to arrange BOSaNOVA to contact you directly to discuss.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
22 / Can I monitor the front panel remotely?

The standard Qonfig3 GUI shows the front panel display and is refreshed automatically. If you have the optional LAN connection on the SCSI version or are using the fibre version this can be done across the network as well.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
23 / What SCSI connectors are on the LVD Q3 units?

There are three 68 way MicroD sockets on the Q3, one goes to the tape, one to the host and the other is used either to terminate the SCSI bus or used to daisy units.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
24 / My System and tape drives use the small VHDCI connectors, how do I use the Q3 with these units?

BOSaNOVA can supply VDHCI to stand MicroD cables for these configurations. Please discuss this with your sales rep prior to placing the order to ensure the correct cable lengths are supplied.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
25 / What happens if we have a power failure? Is there anything special we need to do?

The Q3 units will retain their passwords, keys and configuration settings for five minutes after the power fails. After that period these will be deleted for security reasons and will have to be re-entered once power is restored.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
26 / We often suffer power supply outages, is there a way to ensure the units don’t restart with them in non secure mode?

It is possible to have the unit factory configured to require passwords to be entered before the units will come on line after a power outage. Please advise you sales rep of this requirement prior to placing your orders.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
27 / I keep seeing “Illegal Request” on the display, what is the problem causing this?

This is a response to the system issuing a command that the tape drive does not support and is quite normal, normally you would be unaware this is occurring. The usual reason is that the system issues an inquiry to a device and then looks for a response from a nonexistent LUN on the device to see if it does exist.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
28 / What are the speed implications of installing the Q3?

The Q3 in most cases has up to a ten percent impact on the speed and this can be either negative or positive but depends on the type of data, the tape drive and the system.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
29 / Can two different people (groups) hold separate keys for the Q3?

Yes. The GUI allows for two keys to be entered separately and both are required to encrypt / decrypt tapes

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
30 / Will the Q3 work with my autoloader?

Yes, the Q3 supports all autoloaders both with separate SCSI ID’s and those using a second LUN to control the autoloaders. No changes or special configuration is required.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
31 / Will the Q3 work with my library?

Yes, the library control can go via the Q3 or by daisy chaining it at the host side of the Q3. Normally one Q3 is used for each drive in the library that requires encryption.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
32 / What encryption algorithms does the Q3 use?

We used Extended DES or 3DES but have dual encryption engines to enhance the encryption beyond the standards.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
33 / If we change from a SCSI infrastructure to fibre channel is it possible to upgrade the Q3 to work on Fibre Channel?

Yes although this would not be a field upgrade and the unit would need to be returned to 10ZiG's Phoenix or UK offices.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
34 / Is it possible to connect to the Q3 through the LAN?

There is a network option for the SCSI versions that allows you to monitor the unit across the LAN.

7 / What ports are used by the 10ZiG Manager?

The 10ZiG Manager communicates with the various thin clients on several network ports that will conflict with existing DHCP or Active Directory functionality; therefore, it is recommended that the Manager not be installed on computers that already host these services such as domain controllers.

Following are the associated ports for the 10ZiG Manager:

  • Network Ports and Purpose
    • TCP 3306 - Used by the local MySQL service hosting the Manager database.
    • TCP 11132 - The Manager Console retrieves information from the Server via this port.
    • TCP 11133-11147 - A Manager Console will register one of the ports in this range, usually 11133, with the Server to receive various notifications.
    • TCP 445 - Used in the PXELinux image for authentication to the ImageStore share.
  • Client Discovery and Communication Ports
    • UDP/TCP 52500 - Broadcast discovery port for Windows (XTC Agent) and Linux 9 thin clients.
    • TCP 52510 - This RPC port is used by Manager Server to perform remote operations and queries on Windows (XTC Agent) clients.
    • TCP 52511 - This RPC port is used Windows (XTC Agent) clients to notify the manager server when they come online or are going offline.
    • TCP 80/443 (HTTP/HTTPS) -These Web ports are used by Manager Server to query information from and perform operations on Linux 9 (LTC Agent) clients.
    • UDP 1680 or TCP 1680 - Depending on whether TCP discovery is enabled, one of these ports is used to discover of Linux 8 and Windows CE thin clients.
    • TCP 21(FTP) - The port is used by Manager Server to query information from and perform operations on Linux 8 (Browsed Agent) clients.
    • TCP 8001 - The Manager Server publishes firmware update packages for Linux clients on this port.
  • PXE Boot Ports
    • UDP 67 (DHCP/BOOTP)- The Manager Server responds to DHCP/BOOTP requests from this port for PXE-Booting clients for image deployment/recovery.
    • UDP 68 (DHCP/BOOTP)- The client listens for responses to DHCP/BOOTP requests from manager server for image deployment/recovery.
    • UDP 69 (TFTP) - When PXE-Booting, the PXE configuration and boot image are transferred to the client via TFTP
  • Syslog Port
    • UDP 51

Cloud Connector Ports

    • 443 - or whatever port you assigned the CC.


Tip: If you are unable to PXE boot from your 10ZiG Manager, run a command prompt and type in netstat -abp udp to find out what services are bound to your ports.

A working example should look like this

UDP(DHCP/BOOTP) 0.0.0.0:67
[MgrService.exe]
UDP(TFTP) 0.0.0.0:69
[MgrService.exe]

8 / What is the difference between the Clone System Image - Deploy System Image and Backup and Restore?

An explanation of the Cloning/Deploying and Backup/Restore and their differences:

  1. Cloning is the process of creating a deployable Windows image.
    • The administrator initiates the clone from the Manager’s Thin Client view after selecting the source device.
    • For a WES7 device, the administrator is guided through a Sysprep wizard for additional customization, but for XPe , the Manager explains that FBReseal will be performed.
    • The administrator is prompted for the name to which to save the image.
    • The source is set to PXE boot, and the Manager remotely initiates “FBReseal” for XPe or “Sysprep” for WES 7 devices. Both FBReseal and Sysprep remove/reset specific system settings to allow the backed-up image to regenerate identification information for uniqueness when the prepared image is booted the next time. However, the Manager offers some customization options for Sysprep where with FBReseal the same options need to be configured directly on the device before resealing.
    • Once the system has been resealed or sysprepped, the unit is rebooted.
    • When Manager has discovered the device which has booted into PXE Linux, the image backup automatically starts.
    • Once the backup has completed, the source device is set to boot normally and rebooted. The backed-up image is should then be ready for deployment.
    • The source device will boot back into the Windows operating system where the system identification information is regenerated.
  2. Deploying an image is basically the “automated” process of restoring a previously backed-up image whether it had been cloned or manually backed-up.
    • The administrator selects the target devices from the Manager’s Thin Clients view and initiates the image deployment.
    • He or she is prompted to select the image to deploy.
    • The target devices are set to PXE boot and then rebooted.
    • Once the devices have booted into PXE Linux and the Manager has discovered them, the image is restored automatically.
    • After the restore completes, the devices are set to boot normally and rebooted again.
  3. The Backup/Restore option is a manual process in that the Windows device is set for PXE booting and rebooted in PXE Linux.
    • The PXE Linux-booted device will appear in the Manager’s Image Recovery view, where the administrator can then start a backup or restore via the Manager GUI.
    • An image backed up with this method is only intended to be restored to the same device as it has not been prepared for redeployment to other devices.

9 / How do I use the hot keys in UltraVNC viewer on a Linux thin client through the 10ZiG Manager?

The 10ZiG Manager uses UltraVNC viewer for shadowing thin clients. This viewer provides various additional features like chat and file transfer. These features can be accessed via hot key sequences that begin with “Ctrl+Alt”, but the key sequence interferes with sending these sequences to the shadowed device.

Therefore, the aforementioned hot keys need to be disabled in order to obtain a terminal console on our Linux devices via “Ctrl+Alt+Shift+0”.

To do so:

  1. Press the “Scroll Lock” key to disable the hot keys. (This enables scroll lock.)
  2. Press the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 0 (do not use the numeric keypad but the numbers at the top of the keyboard) to open a console terminal.
  3. Press the “Scroll Lock” key again to re-enable the hot keys. (This disables scroll lock.)

10 / If my thin clients are located on network segments that are not local to the 10ZiG Manager server such as a VPN, WAN or segmented VLAN, how can I PXE boot them to the manager?

Within the DHCP scope of each remote network segment, define the “Boot Server Host Name” (option 66) and “Bootfile Name” (option 67) as follows. (Note: Any other device that utilizes PXE booting will also default to these settings when booting.)

  1. Configure option 66 specifying the IP address of the 10ZiG Manager server to be used for PXE booting.

  2. Configure option 67 specifying “pxelinux.0” for the for the value.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
12 / Can I run the 10ZiG Manager on the same server as my Active Directory server?

No, the 10ZiG Manager communicates with the thin clients using remote procedure call (RPC) and Active Directory relies on remote procedure call (RPC) for replication between domain controllers thus resulting in a conflict if on the same server.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
13 / I am trying to update my older Linux thin client using a tar file in the 10ZiG Manager but it fails.

To update if your image is lower than 9.9.4 you must update using a binary image. Contact Tech Support for location and credentials to download updated image.

There are two are options - restore using the 10ZiG Manager or use a thumb drive created by TzImgUtil.

Update using 10ZiG Manager

  1. Install the 10ZiG Manager and copy the binary file to 10ZiG Manager \ImageStore
  2. If the thin client is seen in the 10ZiG Manager, right click on it, select Image Management and then Backup and Restore
  3. The thin client will be moved to the Image recovery tab with PXE set to Yes


    If the thin client is not seen by the 10ZiG Manager, click on the Image recover tab and add the MAC address of the thin client using AddMAC

  4. Change the BIOS settings of the thin client to boot from LAN (BIOS password is 10ZIG)
  5. Boot the thin client and it will PXE boot to the 10ZiG Manager
  6. When the thin client has booted it will be displaying a recovery menu on the display but do not use that menu, rather use the Image recovery tab. Right click on the thin client to be reimaged (it should now indicate PXE YES with a green dot) and select Restore Binary Image>
  7. Select the image file to be restored
  8. The 10ZiG Manager will restore the image and indicate a successful restore when complete
  9. Right click on the thin client and deselect the PXE boot option
  10. Reboot the thin client which now has the updated image

Update using a USB Thumb Drive

  1. Download the image utility from our FAQ pages. Note: PDF of directions at the same location
  2. Extract the utility and run the program to make a USB thumb drive bootable for the utility
  3. Make certain you format as fat32 and the USB thumb drive needs to be large enough to hold the boot files and the binary fileNote: This program will erase all files on the thumb drive
  4. Enter the BIOS of the thin client (password 10ZIG) and set the first boot to USB (on some units the option may be USB Zip)
  5. Boot the thin client using the created USB thumb drive
  6. Use the menu on the display to restore the image
  7. Once complete reboot with thumb drive removed to an updated image

14 / WOL (Wake On LAN) function is not working - I can shut the thin clients down but I can't power them off.

WOL uses UDP port 9 and sends a small broadcast to wake up the thin client. For WOL to work the network environment must support “direct broadcasting”.


For example: If the manager is at IP 192.168.1.2 and the client IP is 192.168.2.125, the WOL broadcast must be able to get to 192.168.2.255 which is the broadcast address of the client's subnet.

15 / I have a Linux thin client that shows up with the name NONE.

Most likely the name of the thin client has been changed to a name with a space in it - remove the space and it will show up in the manager with the correct name.

16 / How can I copy/move an existing 10ZiG Manager database to another computer?

Preparing the new server:

  1. Install the 10ZiG Manager server package on the new computer. Make note of the installation path, by default on 32-bit Windows is “C:\Program Files\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager” or on 64-bit Windows is “C:\Program Files(x86)\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager”.
  2. During the manager installation, make certain to select the appropriate network adapter and specify the desired path for the network share.
  3. Allow the installation to start the new manager server service or manually start it via the “10ZiG Manager Service Controller” start menu shortcut after installation if necessary.
  4. Once the service has successfully started, which is indicated by a blue 10ZiG tray icon, right-click on the tray icon and select “Stop”. The icon will be grayed-out when the service has completely stopped.

Copy the old database to the new computer:

  1. Locate the old database subfolder within the existing manager server installation path. The default path on 32-bit Windows is “C:\Program Files\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager\mysql\data\tenzigmgr” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager\mysql\data\tenzigmgr” for 64-bit.
  2. Copy the “tenzigmgr” subfolder with its contents to the new manager server installation path. i.e. Place the old “tenzigmgr” subfolder into the “C:\Program Files\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager\mysql\data“ folder on the new server allowing the existing files in the destination folder to be overwritten.
  3. Restart the new manager server service by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting “Start”.
  4. Once the manager server service has started successfully (blue tray icon), the migrated database will have been integrated into the new manager server installation.
  5. Launch the Manager Console via the installed shortcuts or by double-clicking the tray icon, and verify the previous IP range and group settings are OK.

17 / I have a PXE server in place already so I don't want to use the 10ZiG Manager as a PXE server - how can I use the existing PXE server to push out images to thin clients?
  1. Copy all the files from the tftp folder from the 10ZiG Manager install folder to the existing PXE server in the published files directory.
  2. Place the image in the general repository directory on the existing PXE server.
  3. Go into the manager server settings (right click on the ICON down near the time on your PC and select settings) - Advanced Tab – Uncheck Enable TFTP server and under the TFTP Host put the IP of the existing PXE server. Boot the thin client in PXE mode and you should be able to restore the image from the existing PXE server.

18 / I am not seeing all my thin clients in the 10ZiG Manager and when I look at the SYSLOG it indicates that the program cannot access the database.

The database lock is most likely an issue with the anti-virus software installed on the PC - exclude the 10ZiG Manager and MYSQL programs in the anti-virus program and the 10ZiG Manager should pick the thin clients.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
19 / Is NAT (Network Address Translation) supported when the 10ZiG Manager and the thin clients reside behind a NAT'd firewall/router?

Network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device. The 10ZiG Manager uses TCP and UDP ports on the network to communicate with the thin clients and using NAT would not work. If you use the cloud connector you will not need to NAT.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
20 / I am attempting to update my Linux thin client using a downloaded .tar file but it starts and then fails almost immediately.

Check to see if the .tar file was renamed when it was downloaded. The 10ZiG Manager looks for a specific naming convention when it starts the firmware option, if that naming convention does not match up to what it requires it will fail. If this is the case, rename the file back to the original name and try the firmware update again.

To repair perform the following:

  1. Shutdown the Manager service and make certain the “TzMySQL” process has stopped.
  2. Run a check on the crashed table, in this case the “client” table seems to be at fault.
    • From a command prompt, change to the MySQL \bin subdirectory of the manager installation path; it is “C:\Program Files\10ZiG\10ZiG Manager\mysql\bin” by default.
    • Type “myisamchk -e –U ..\data\Tenzigmgr\client.MYI” and press enter to run the check.
  3. Run the recovery on the table.
    • From the same command prompt, type “myisamchk -r -q ..\data\Tenzigmgr\client.MYI” to run a quick recovery.
    • If the above fails, type “myisamchk -r ..\data\Tenzigmgr\client.MYI” to run a standard recovery.
    • And if the preceding fails, type “myisamchk --safe-recover ..\data\Tenzigmgr\client.MYI” to run a safe recovery.

22 / How can I add a DNS resource record for my 10ZiG Manager server?

A Service (SRV) record is a Domain Name System (DNS) resource record that is used to identify computers that host specific services. Clients query for a specific service/protocol name within a specific domain to receive the associated server hostname and port number.

SRV records are added to the "Forward Lookup Zone" for the DNS domain with the name formatted as "_servicename._protocol.domain" e.g. "_tzmgr_discovery._udp.example.com"

With the 10ZiG Manager, our Linux v9 (9.9.x or later) and Windows (XTC Agent 2.0.1.3 or later) devices can query for the manager server location and automatically initiate registration.

The manager now has the capability to automatically register an SRV record with a local Microsoft DNS server, assuming the user has the appropriate privileges. However, if the automatic SRV record creation fails, use the following instructions to manually add the record.

To create a DNS SRV record

  1. On the DNS server, click Start, click Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
  2. In the console tree for your domain, expand Forward Lookup Zones, and then right-click the domain in which 10ZiG Manager is or will be installed.
  3. Click Other New Records.
  4. In Select a resource record type, click Service Location (SRV), and then click Create Record.
  5. In the Service field, type "_tzmgr_discovery".
  6. In the Protocol field, type "_udp".
  7. In the Port number field, type "52500".
  8. In the Host offering this service field, type the FQDN of the 10ZiG Manager server.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Done.

1 / How can I setup the Tera2 to take me to the logon screen of my desktop rather than sign on automatically?

First step is to disable single signon... by adding a string entry "AllowSingleSignon" with a value of "false" to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Agent\Configuration on the VM that you want to assign a specific client.

This is done using regedit, or with a GPO. This can be done either on the source for a pool, an individual machine in a pool (but it will be overwritten with a recompose), or for a single non-linked clone vm in a pool. Create a AD user, depending on your client device's autologin requirements for the username naming convention, and then assign that user to that VM.

When the device logs in, it will get its assigned VM based on the username.(Make sure you only assign that user to a single pool/vm). Since single sign on has been disabled, it does not pass the view credentials to the VM... requiring the user to log in.

Then on the V1200 change the connection type to View Connection Server + Auto-logon

You will need an AD account that has rights to that desktop and also enter the pool name to select. The pool I used only has one desktop in it so this V1200 always connects to that desktop only.

Yes, but to use WOL on a zero client you would need 3rd party software, listed below are some sites for WOL utilities.

Note: 3rd party wake-on-LAN utility software is required to generate WOL packets to send to PCoIP zero clients. Here are some examples WOL utility tools.

Note: Teradici or 10ZiG has not tested these tools and is providing this list for reference only.

Regarding the Management Console, you can use it or the zero client Web UI (AWI) to enable the WOL feature.

6 / I am trying to get quad monitor to work on a V1200 but only two of them display.

For quad monitor to work the Virtual Machine must have enough VRAM to support all four monitors. Make certain that the pool is set for four (4) monitors and the resolution is set at the highest setting. Changing these two parameters will adjust the VRAM high enough to support the four monitors.

2 / Do PCoIP zero clients and host cards support VLAN tagging?

Teradici PCoIP zero clients and host cards do not support VLAN tagging. If an environment requires VLAN tagging, the implementation of a network device's (switch / router) VLAN options such as port based VLANs or VLAN tagging is recommended.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
3 / The message "No source signal" appears as an overlay at the start of a PCoIP session to indicate no video source.

There are three common causes for seeing this message in a host card environment:

  • Cabling
  • To troubleshoot, first check the DVI connection between the GPU and the PCoIP host card. If the cable(s) appears to be connected properly, confirm that there is a video output by connecting the DVI port of a monitor directly to the GPU's DVI output port. In order for this diagnostic step to be valid, you must not use any adapters (ie: DVI-to-VGA) between the GPU and monitor. Note: PCoIP host cards support DVI inputs only. They don't support VGA inputs, but can support VGA signals through DVI-I connectors. While host cards support DVI input only, VGA can still be supported on the client. See client product specifications to determine if VGA output is supported.
  • Software settings
  • This message may appear for a few minutes when the host PC/workstation OS turns off the monitor due to power management settings, screen saver timeout, or monitor shut down settings. The overlay appears shortly after the monitor is turned off and remains active for a couple minutes before it is eventually removed at which time the monitor is turned off.
  • No OS installed on the host
  • This message will appear if there is no operating system installed on the host PC.

4 / I am getting the message "No PCoIP devices detected. Please ensure the hardware is installed and the Host Driver Function is enabled on the PCoIP Host card prior to installing software.

This error can appear for the following reasons

  1. The PC does not have a PCoIP Host Card installed
  2. The "Host Driver Function" checkbox is not checked on the host SW configuration -> Host Driver Function page
In the second case you MUST reboot the PC and reattempt to install the software as directed below:
  • Go to the web address of the host card itself by entering it into to a web browser. Click on the log in button, go to configuration and then Host Driver function.
  • Check the box to “Enable Host Driver Function” and then click apply, you will then see a message asking you to reset the PCoIP Processor, click on the Reset button. You will get a message saying your host card will be reset next time you restart the workstation.
  • Reboot the workstation and you should now be able to install the software on that workstation without the error message about no PCoIP devices detected.

34 / RDP is running extremely slow, is there anything I can do to improve the speed?

Disable the following services

  • IIS – Microsoft’s Internet Information Services provide the capabilities of a Webserver for your computer.
  • NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing — NetMeeting is primarily a VoIP and videoconferencing client for Microsoft Windows, but this service in particular is necessary to remote desktop access.
  • Remote Desktop Help Session Manager – This service is used by the Remote Assistance feature that you can use to allow others remote access to the system to help you troubleshoot problems.
  • Remote Registry – The capabilities provided by the Remote Registry service are frightening to consider from a security perspective. They allow remote users (in theory, only under controlled circumstances) to edit the Windows Registry.
  • Routing and Remote Access – This service bundles a number of capabilities together, capabilities that most system administrators would probably agree should be provided separately. It is rare that any of them should be necessary for a typical desktop system such as Microsoft Windows XP, however, so they can all conveniently be turned off as a single service. Routing and Remote Access provides the ability to use the system as a router and NAT device, as a dialup access gateway, and a VPN server.
  • Simple File Sharing – When a computer is not a part of a Microsoft Windows Domain, it is assumed by the default settings that any and all filesystem shares are meant to be universally accessible. In the real world, however, we should only want to provide shares to very specific, authorized users. As such, Simple File Sharing, which only provides blanket access to shares without exceptions, is not what we want to use for sharing filesystem resources. It is active by default on both MS Windows XP Professional and MS Windows XP Home editions. Unfortunately, this cannot be disabled on MS Windows XP Home. On MS Windows XP Professional, however, you can disable it by opening My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options, clicking the View tab, and unchecking the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) checkbox in the Advanced settings: pane.
  • SSDP Discovery Service – This service is used to discover UPnP devices on your network, and is required for the Universal Plug and Play Device Host service (see below) to operate.
  • Telnet – The Telnet service is a very old mechanism for providing remote access to a computer, most commonly known from its use in the bad ol’ days of security for remote command shell access on Unix servers. These days, using Telnet to remotely manage a Unix system may be grounds for firing, where an encrypted protocol such as SSH should be used instead.
  • Universal Plug and Play Device Host – Once you have your “Plug and Play” devices installed on your system, it is often the case that you will not need this service again.
  • Windows Messenger Service – Listed in the Services window under the name Messenger, the Windows Messenger Service provides “net send” and “Alerter” functionality. It is unrelated to the Windows Messenger instant messaging client, and is not necessary to use the Windows Messenger IM network.

    1. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
    2. Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
    3. Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the Value Data box.
  5. Note: If the DefaultPassword registry entry does not exist, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogonregistry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature after the computer is restarted.

  6. Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
  7. If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
    2. Type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and then press ENTER.
    3. Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the Value Data box.

  8. Exit Registry Editor.
  9. Click Start, click Restart, and then click OK

In all cases if EWF is enabled changes must be commited before rebooting - if EWF is not enabled then no saves are required.

54 / How do I install and configure Ramdisk driver?

The Ramdisk driver we use for this guide is almost identical and based on the Microsoft sample driver described here: Microsoft KB 257405. The version we use in this article fixes a bug with Windows XP and NTFS partitions (described in the MS KB article) and adds the ability to change drive letter and disk size in a more user-friendly way, using the Device Manager.

We can install/configure the Ramdisk in three simple steps:

  1. Download and uncompress the Ramdisk driver in an empty directory you can remember: Ramdisk Driver
  2. In Control Panel -> Add/Remove Hardware, select Add a new device -> select hardware from a list -> Other(All) devices -> Have Disk, then point to the folder that contains the RAMDisk.inf file you extracted in step 1. Click next/finish to complete the driver installation.
  3. You can change the size / drive letter of your new Ramdisk from the Device manager: Right-click on My Computer, select Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> expand the RAM Disk -> Properties

At this point you have successfuly installed and configured a RAM Disk drive on your system. Keep in mind that the contents of the RAM disk are lost when changing its size and/or drive letter in Device Manager! They are also lost if power is lost, computer rebooted, etc. You might want to reboot and copy some files to your new RAM disk from within Windows Explorer to ensure it's operating properly.

Notes: In Windows XP, you might have to go to Control Panel -> System to access the device manager. Depending on your OS, you might be prompted to reboot after the drive is installed. Keep in mind that the size of your Ramdisk is substracted from the available RAM, so don't use any wild values. Depending on the intended use, 1 - 16 MB should be the enough, even in systems with plenty of RAM.

55 / I need to PXE boot every time but it keeps getting disabled in the BIOS.

If the XPe thin client has the 10ZiG agent installed on the image, it needs to be disabled in the registry.

Edit the registry using regedit

Find the dword value name EnablePXE

By default it is set to 0. Change it to a 1

Exit the registry editor

If write protection is enabled, commit the the changes.

56 / When using Citrix with Desktop Application Software and USB wireless, the thin client reboots continuously when it gets to the log on screen.

It is the auto USB redirection caused by the Citrix desktop appliance lock, to get round it you have to add a registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\GenericUSB\Devices\VID148F PID2770] (vid and pid in this tcs case, this will vary depending on the wireless device used – you can get the VID and PID from device manager, wireless card properties and hardware ID)

Under that key, create a DWord called ‘Autoredirect’ and set the value to 0.

This stops it from attempting to redirect the wireless device to the Citrix session and restarting the thin client.

1 / I am no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP - I get a black screen or it just closes out.

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022830

Upgrading VMware Tools in a virtual desktop causes PCoIP connections to fail

Symptoms

  • Connections to virtual desktops using PCoIP fail
  • You are no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP
  • You have recently updated VMware Tools

    For example, you have installed ESX 4.0 Update 2, which updates VMware Tools, and you are no longer able to connect to virtual desktops using PCoIP

Resolution

Prevention

To avoid this issue, do not upgrade to ESX 4.0 Update 2 if you are using View 4.x with PCoIP.

OR

You can install VMware Tools for ESX 4.0 Update 2 without the SVGA driver.

To install without the SVGA driver, after upgrading you VMware Tools package on ESX host, from vSphere Client:

  1. Right-click on the guest, and click Guest > Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.
  2. Ensure Automatic Tools Upgrade is selected
  3. Copy and paste the following text as it applies to your environment into Advanced Options:

    Note: Do note include line breaks when you copy the text. The line breaks are for formatting purposes only.

    For x86 guests:
    /s /v "/qn REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=WYSE,VMXNet,VMCI,Mouse,MemCtl,Hgfs,VSS,VMXNet3,vmdesched,ThinPrint,Sync,
    PVSCSI,Debug,BootCamp,Audio,Buslogic,VICFSDK,VAssertSDK,Toolbox,Upgrader,GuestSDK,
    PerfMon,Common,microsoft_dlls_x86,ArchSpecific"

    For x64 guests:
    /s /v "/qn REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=WYSE,VMXNet,VMCI,Mouse,MemCtl,Hgfs,VSS,VMXNet3,vmdesched,ThinPrint,Sync,
    PVSCSI,Debug,BootCamp,Audio,Buslogic,VICFSDK,VAssertSDK,Toolbox,Upgrader,
    GuestSDK,PerfMon,Common,microsoft_dlls_x64,ArchSpecific"
  4. Click OK. VMware Tools automatically upgrades in the guest, and the guest reboots.

Workaround

For customers that do not have a requirement to use PCoIP, you can use RDP. For more information on using RDP, see the VMware View Administration Guide.

For customers that are experiencing the issue and want to continue using PCoIP, use this workaround:

Note: VMware recommends that you have VMware View 4.0.1 installed prior to performing these steps.

  1. Log in to the affected virtual machine(s) with Administrator rights. This is any virtual machine that has the VMware Tools shipped with ESX 4.0 Update 2 installed.
  2. Rename the C:\Program File\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\Video folder to C:\Program File\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\Video-OLD.
  3. From a working virtual machine, copy the C:\Program File\Common Files\Vmware\Drivers\Video folder to C:\Program File\Common Files\Vmware\Drivers\ on an affected virtual machine.
  4. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.
  5. Click the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
  6. Expand Display Adapters.
  7. Choose VMWARE SVGA II. Right-click on it and choose Properties.
  8. Click the Driver tab. You are presented with the SVGA driver properties.

    The version is 11.6.0.34 (Driver Date 01/03/2010).
  9. Click Update Driver. The Hardware Update wizard displays.
  10. When prompted with the question, "Can windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?", click No, not at this time and click Next.
  11. When prompted with the question, "What do you want the wizard to do", click Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.
  12. Click Don't search. I will choose the driver to install and click Next.
  13. On the next screen, you are presented a list of two or more VMWARE SVGA II Versions to choose from. For example:

    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.31 (21/09/2009)
    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.32 (24/09/2009)
    VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.34 (01/03/2010)

    Choose VMWARE SVGA II Version: 11.6.0.32 (24/09/2009).
  14. Click Next. The driver begins installing.
  15. Click Continue Anyway when Windows notifies you that VMware SVGA II has not passed Windows logo testing.

    The driver install completes.
  16. Click Finish.
  17. Click YES when prompted to restart your computer.
  18. Verify that PCoIP is now working.

Note: VMware is investigating a permanent fix for the issue so our customers can upgrade to ESX 4.0 Update 2 without experiencing this issue.

We will update this article with more information as it becomes available.

7 / I am trying to set up my VMware View Connection Server 5.1 to use a self-signed certificate but it does recognize it as valid.

VMware View Connection Server now requires an SSL certificate that is signed by a CA (certificate authority) and that your clients can validate. To improve the security of VMware View deployments, VMware is deprecating support for View Client authentication and brokering over a non-secured HTTP connection. In the past, you could use the default self-signed certificate that is generated in the absence of a CA-signed certificate. With View 5.1, you must replace the default self-signed certificate as soon as possible. Self-signed certificates are shown as invalid in View Administrator.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
8 / How can I install CA certificates on the 8848v and 5848v?

Linux is diffrent that a WES OS in that you must manually install the certificate from a USB thumb drive

Go into Settings - Security and check Enable Installation from USB Storage


Copy the certificates in .crt or .pem format including the root and intermediate and place the USB thumb drive in the thin client. Once the thin client detects the USB thumb drive and sees the certificates it will present the following menu

Once the certificates are uploaded you can see them by taking the option for settings as seen below:

Select the certificates ICON

From the certificate option you can view the imported certificates and highlight then select Show for certificate details.

9 / I am using VMware Horizon View Administrator and Agent 5.3 but I cannot get my USB webcam to pass-through to the desktop from a Linux thin client.

Time to change the way we think! VMview no longer supports Webcams as USB devices! From VMware 2.2 they now use Real Time Audio Visual drivers RTAV (VMware's Remote Experience package must be installed on the desktop).

Since Linux still sees the device natively changes must be made in the USB redirection on the thin client. From the control panel/settings select USB Redirection and find the webcam and set it to be EXCLUDED as a USB Device.

The camera will work just fine for Skype, websites or any program/page that is looking for a webcam device. Please NOTE that the downloaded programs that come with the drivers for the cameras such as Logitech and Microsoft packages query the USB for the camera, so they do not work! You can test the webcam using www.test-my-cam.com

ThinDesktop™

1 / My XPe thin client is running ThinLaunch Thin Desktop™ and periodically it shuts down on its own?

Previously when the thin client was shipped it had the power options set to Portable/Laptop and if Thin Desktop™ was installed without making any changes, the user ThinLaunch Thin Desktop creates will have the same power setting. Please contact Tech Support for further assistance on correcting the power setting.

3 / How do I Configure Thin Desktop™ with Citrix ICA?

To use Thin Desktop™ with the Citrix ICA client, also known as XenApp, it is necessary to configure Thin Desktop™ to launch wfica32.exe directly instead of using Program Neighborhood (pn.exe). To do this requires an ICA file to be created with the appropriate connection information. The following describes the procedure to create an ICA file:

  1. Create an ICA file from the Citrix published application manager tool.
  2. Copy the ICA file to the client where Thin Desktop™ is installed. Be sure to place the ICA file in an area where the local Users group has read access rights.
  3. Configure Thin Desktop™ to launch wfica32.exe with the path of the ICA file passed as a parameter. The following is an example: “C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\wfica32.exe” c:\myfile.ica
  4. Log off the machine to verify Thin Desktop™ correctly launches the Citrix connection.

Note: If Thin Desktop appears to launch the client connection repeatedly, change the command to be wfcrun.exe instead of wfica32.exe.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
4 / Can I configure more than one application to launch?

Because Thin Desktop™ only monitors the first process launched, if a second process is spawned from the first process, Thin Desktop™ will not have the ability to monitor the child process to perform a re-launched if it closes prematurely.

arrow pointing down arrow pointing up
5 / Thin Desktop cannot launch the command provided while it works from the standard desktop.

Any command launched by Thin Desktop after startup of Windows is executed in the context of the user session of the local Windows user ThinDesktopUser. As a result, it is necessary to ensure the proper permissions are given to ThinDesktopUser to launch the desired command. Since ThinDesktopUser is also part of the Users group by default, permission could be given to that group instead of the user directly.

16 / How can I get my ELO Touch Screen to work with the WES 7 build?

There are a couple of issues with Touch Screens in WES 7

If the touch screen requires a driver and does not take advantage of the native dll’s in Windows 7’s tablet pc support then it will work.

For example the DT Tablet 312 & 362 use the Penmount driver which works in WES 7.

If the touch screen does not require a driver, it will not work in our build of WES 7 even if the touch screen works in Windows 7. There is a component called Tablet PC support in Windows 7 and one of its functions is to provide touch screen support. This component cannot be put into the 10ZiG Technology WES 7 image because it requires a higher license.

ELO Touch Screens will not work in 10ZiG Technology WES 7 builds. We are checking with ELO to see if all models require this component and if they do, ELO will only work in XPe. Once we have a better understanding as to which Touch Screens will work with WES 7 we will provide a list of recommended touch screens.

20 / RDP is running extremely slow, is there anything I can do to improve the speed?

Disable the following services

  • IIS – Microsoft’s Internet Information Services provide the capabilities of a Webserver for your computer.
  • NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing — NetMeeting is primarily a VoIP and videoconferencing client for Microsoft Windows, but this service in particular is necessary to remote desktop access.
  • Remote Desktop Help Session Manager – This service is used by the Remote Assistance feature that you can use to allow others remote access to the system to help you troubleshoot problems.
  • Remote Registry – The capabilities provided by the Remote Registry service are frightening to consider from a security perspective. They allow remote users (in theory, only under controlled circumstances) to edit the Windows Registry.
  • Routing and Remote Access – This service bundles a number of capabilities together, capabilities that most system administrators would probably agree should be provided separately. It is rare that any of them should be necessary for a typical desktop system such as Microsoft Windows XP, however, so they can all conveniently be turned off as a single service. Routing and Remote Access provides the ability to use the system as a router and NAT device, as a dialup access gateway, and a VPN server.
  • Simple File Sharing – When a computer is not a part of a Microsoft Windows Domain, it is assumed by the default settings that any and all filesystem shares are meant to be universally accessible. In the real world, however, we should only want to provide shares to very specific, authorized users. As such, Simple File Sharing, which only provides blanket access to shares without exceptions, is not what we want to use for sharing filesystem resources. It is active by default on both MS Windows XP Professional and MS Windows XP Home editions. Unfortunately, this cannot be disabled on MS Windows XP Home. On MS Windows XP Professional, however, you can disable it by opening My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options, clicking the View tab, and unchecking the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) checkbox in the Advanced settings: pane.
  • SSDP Discovery Service – This service is used to discover UPnP devices on your network, and is required for the Universal Plug and Play Device Host service (see below) to operate.
  • Telnet – The Telnet service is a very old mechanism for providing remote access to a computer, most commonly known from its use in the bad ol’ days of security for remote command shell access on Unix servers. These days, using Telnet to remotely manage a Unix system may be grounds for firing, where an encrypted protocol such as SSH should be used instead.
  • Universal Plug and Play Device Host – Once you have your “Plug and Play” devices installed on your system, it is often the case that you will not need this service again.
  • Windows Messenger Service – Listed in the Services window under the name Messenger, the Windows Messenger Service provides “net send” and “Alerter” functionality. It is unrelated to the Windows Messenger instant messaging client, and is not necessary to use the Windows Messenger IM network.

In order to do printing to a Thin Client printer via Windows or RDP, the LTC needs a static IP address and then add a printer in windows and make it local and create a a Standard TCP/IP port pointing at the IP address of the LTC. Then share the printer on the Terminal services server and use it in the RDP session. This is necessary because the LTC does not tell windows what type printer it has connected to it so Windows cannot determine which driver to use you have to tell it. This should then allow you to print to the USB printer from RDP.

To restore the registry of a unit that has an OS prior to CE 5.0 Pro to factory default, you have to delete or edit the registry file saved on the DOM.

There are three options:

  1. - turn on the unit and during first stage of boot (Bos splash bitmap with progress bar) press Ctrl+C to exit the boot program and go to the DOS prompt. The text color is black so you cannot see what you are typing.
  2. - type cd docume~1

    - type echo a > system.hv

  3. - boot the device from an USB device with DOS
  4. - type d: or c: to point the DOM (with a bios version the DOM drive letter is "d:" with other bios the DOM is "c:")

    - type cd docume~1

    - type echo a > system.hv

    - reboot the terminal

By default the Print Screen menu option (File|Print and toolbar printer icon) are set to print locally (directly to a printer on the COM or LPT ports). You can change this using the combo to print thru host or disable it.

To change this, you need to Edit the keyboard mapping using the Edit button next to the keyboard type on the General page.

18 / How do I connect a printer in an RDP session on an LTC/WTC unit?
  1. Edit the properties of the session or Add it when creating the session, this is done on the “Options” tab of the session.
  2. RDP Printer

  3. For the driver name enter the name of the driver as it would appear in Windows, i.e. HP Laserjet 3300 PCL6. When the session connects it should connect the printer automatically to the Terminal Services Server and make it available to the user connecting the session. This is only available with connecting to a Windows 2003 TS server and when version 5 is selected on the RDP session in the Options Tab.

19 / How is printing through the browser (as well through Office viewers and Acrobat Reader) handled in our WINCE Terminal?

The standard support for printing is through LPT, COM, USB and network printer (which means shared printers). For a customer in Italy we implement the LPR and RAW protocols in order to be able to print to a standard TCP/IP printer supporting either LPR or RAW. This implementation is unique and no one else has it available.

Unfortunately due to a lack of windows spooling system in the WINCE, there are some limitations that you should be aware. First, if there is no feedback about any of the printing errors (such as end of paper, offline, generic errors and so on). Second, the printing process is not initiated as a separate task. In other words, when you print from the browser the entire system is tied to the print process and the resources will not be released until the print job is completed. Using RAW instead of LPR is a little bit better but still until the print job has been printed the Terminal stays locked up.

R&D's suggestion is to use RAW instead of LPR, but still be aware of this lock situation.
