VMware View 5.0.1 released for download

VMware View 5.0.1 is a maintenance release that resolves some known issues in the previous releases. For details, see the Resolved Issues section.

This maintenance release includes the following components:

  • VMware View Connection Server 5.0.1, which also includes replica server, security server, and View Transfer Server
  • VMware View Agent 5.0.1
  • VMware View Client for Windows 5.0.1

VMware View 5.0.1 includes the following new features:

  • New bundled Mac OS X client - The new PCoIP-enabled View Client for Mac OS X is now bundled with this release. For more information, see the VMware View Client for Mac OS X Release Notes.
  • Client SSL requirement - View Client for Windows 5.0.1, View Client 1.4 for Mac OS X, and the other View 1.4 clients require SSL for connections to View Connection Server. Therefore, you must enter a fully qualified domain name for View Connection Server, rather than an IP address, in the View Server field of View Client.

    By default, View Client then checks the server certificate that View Connection Server presents. For more information, see the topics about configuring certificate checking in the VMware View Installation document and in the Using VMware View Client documents for the various platforms of View Client.

VMware View and ThinApp Integration Guide

Many of you who design, administer, and implement VMware View environments have probably encountered the discussion of how to integrate ThinApp into View desktops.  So FYI there is a series of posts on the ThinApp Blog which discuss a strategy for integration. The ThinApp Blog has a series of posts, Integrating ThinApp Packages with View Part 1, Integrating ThinApp Packages with View Part 2, View and ThinApp Integration Guide - Part 3 or you can download the end product of that series . . . the VMware View and ThinApp Integration Guide.  The guide discusses several of the topics covered in the previous posts but brings it all together with some task based scenarios that walk you through initial setup and configuration with screenshots and sample scripts.

 

So if you are looking for answers to these questions, this guide is for you.
  1. How does ThinApp fit in with View Persistent and Non-Persistent Pools?
  2. Should I stream all my ThinApp packages from a fileshare or deploy them into the VMs?
  3. How do I use ThinApp and View Composer together?
  4. Where you I put my ThinApp packages? On the C:, the User Data Disk, a fileshare?
  5. How do I manage updates after the packages are in use?
  6. Will users keep their unique settings like toolbar buttons when running ThinApps from different desktops?
  7. How do I manage shortcuts and FileTypeAssociations for multi-user VMs?
