Hi,

I have some P20 devices that connect to a pool of identical VMs created using VMWare Composer. Desktops are assigned randomly so the problem is that I have no way of identifying which P20 is connected to which VM.

To add to the problem the desktop is tied down so that end users cannot access computer properties to tell me what the host name is.

I am also using the Teradici management console to push settings out the P20s.

Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to tell what VM a P20 is connected to?

Thanks,

Stewart

No way to do this in the PCoIPMC. You should be able to see the VM assigned to the user in the VM View console.

Hi,

Thanks but I also meant to add that they are all logging in with the same username, so yes I can see what user connected but they are all the same user.

It is really the host name that I would like to see. Is this possible?

Thanks

Installing some DNS info software tool on the VMs will give the user the ability to inform you what VM they are connected to

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
