Customising the default profile in Windows 7
Posted on 13.May 2011 by Ray Heffer in Tech Tips, Virtualisation, VMware, VMware ViewConfiguring the default user profile in Windows 7
When creating your base (parent) image you may want to configure the default user profile so when new users log into the desktop for the first time, it retains certain customisations such as the desktop background colour, shortcuts, etc. Prior to Windows 7 you were able to copy a user profile to the default user profile, but Windows 7 does not permit this method. Instead, you must create an unattend.xml (unattended installation file) with Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) which is part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit.
VMware View: Configuring Custom SSL port for Security Server
Posted on 14.Mar 2011 by Ray Heffer in Virtualisation, VMware, VMware ViewIn some circumstances you may want to configure a custom SSL port for your VMware View Security Server (other than 443). I have had to do this for my home lab as I only have a single external IP address and it’s already listening on 443 for something else. If you edit the Security Server configuration from VMware View Administrator, you will find that you can change the port in the external URL field (E.g. https://view.yourdomain.com:543) but the security server will still listen on 443.
