So I’m a VMware Horizon Customer / Engineer - I have a specific set of VMware Instant Clone VDIs that I created for a bunch of sales managers for the company I work for. They all use the iPad Pro 12.9s and they love them. They still need access to their green screen and spread sheets from a Windows VDI, so that’s what they have.
From what they report the experience is great. Make sure to use a keyboard with it and a Bluetooth mouse with it. Trust me, it’s worth it.
This is horrible. I run several different environments of VMware Instant Clone VDIs and use the SetUserFTA to help a users default browser and other file extension defaults to persist for a user from session to session on a non-persistent VDI. Now it’s broken.
We are using Instant Clones. It’s a non-persistent Virtual Desktop.
We want to give our users the choice and then be able to persist those choices. Not force them to use just one option with a GPO that defines what they have to use.
SetUserFTA and Dynamic Environment Manager allowed it until the last Windows CU came along…
We have 80,000 people that work for my company. That’s not going to happen. Now we have 10,000 VMs running a combination of Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, and Centos. But our employees choose the OS they want to run on their own work devices whether it be Linux, MacOS, or Windows and no way is everyone is going to Linux, even if that is my own OS of choice. Especially the C-Level and board member types.
We do: Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. That’s not the problem.
The problem is with Microsofts new driver we can’t allow users to set the default browser in their VMware Instant Clone using SetUserFTA via Dynamic Environment Manager.
I got an email from reddit to the address for one of my old Reddit logins. The text, in part, when visiting the URL they provided (had to be logged in, not all of my old handles could see it):...
Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it’s a search/index tool which I don’t need. No idea why it took over all memory. I’ll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it. Thanks again heaps!...
I’m not in front of my computer atm, but I think I have something that can help you out. I have a 3-node Lenovo Thin client cluster that I manage their KVMs using the Intel vPro. I even went a step further using MeshCentral running on a VM to centralize my KVM access since I have 3 of them, but that’s another story.
Anyway, I’ll see if I can grab you some URLs in the morning if someone else doesn’t beat me to it or you find it on your own running google queries.
When power on your ProDesk G3, you can access the MEBx setup by pressing Ctrl+P or they also say F6 or Escape will get you there. Intel AMT runs on a different IP address than what your OS gets. You can assign DHCP or a static IP address and setup your admin password. You can then access the portal from ipaddress:16992 There should be a method of access what would show on the screen through a KVM like access but I use MeshCentral for that so I couldn’t tell you how to do it without.
This will allow you to take a look at the dump files that were created with each BSOD and typically give you the file name that typically is involved. Can you get that information and let us know what it gives you. This will give you a better idea of what the cause is.
I should be able to take a look tomorrow morning. I had a similar issue with an Intel Raptor Lake build. So I’ll let you know what I did to narrow it down.
Ok, so looking at the BSOD minidumps, the BSOD from 2/13/24 and 1/10/2024 give a bug check event that is typically driver related. My recommendation would be to download prime95 and use the “Blend” test for a couple of hours to try and recreate the BSOD. If you don’t get anything you can try running 3DMark to force it. It’s easier when you can “recreate” the problem on purpose instead of waiting for it to happen. Once you reproduce the BSOD you can try and go through the Event Log and determine which driver was the cause since there will be an Application Error usually present.
If you can’t find anything in the logs, you can always pull out all peripherals and use prime95 for another couple of hours making sure that the issue is gone. If you still get a BSOD, you’ve got other hardware causing the issue. (or you could have a combination of both)
If you can’t reproduce the BSOD after unplugging the peripherals, plug one back in at a time stress testing to determine which peripheral is causing it. But you should be able to find it in the event log. I hope this helps.
I manage hundreds of servers at work. They each have a BMC (remote power on/off, reset, KVM, etc) and we need to use those features frequently. I’ve been using a Google Docs spreadsheet to track their URLs, what each box is used for, specs, etc but it feels like a dynamic web app would be better for this purpose. Does anyone...
Look into getting a CMDB and keep track of all of your hardware. That can store the hostname / IPs of your KVM / OS or virtualization layer, vkernels, storage adapter IPs, your vCenters and so on and so forth. If your data is getting so big that spreadsheets are getting tough to manage, then you probable need a more enterprise method of storing it.
Did you setup a NAT on the firewall? You have to setup a static NAT on the interface that your Public IP sits on and to the private IP address of your VPS (you are using a private network space from one of the other interfaces on your FW right?).
Make sure that the policy that you create with the NAT includes UDP 51820 (unless you changed the default port) People often mistake using TCP which is a different protocol. If that doesn’t work, then look at the traffic on your FW
Firefox allows you set custom search engines (if you enable a flag), as well as smart keywords. I want to write a question for ChatGPT in the URL bar, press enter, see chat.openai.com and the question processed by GPT.
Unfortunately, the coding that the site uses to post your questions and return data back to you does not function in that matter. If you want to interact with the Large Language model without using you web browser, you would need to so by using other software or applications to hit their API (you do have to pay for this service) and then return the data back to you. So it is possible, but not in the manner that you are suggesting.
On a side note, I signed up for a 3 month trial of access to hit their API using a session code and a post shortcut on my iPhone. I created a iOS shortcut that allowed me to use OpenAI as a replacement for Siri. It was a fun little project.
