Another method that works if you don't have splunk is to have SQL server send an e-mail notification when a Horizon event that matches a specific string shows up. We send e-mails to both our sysadmins as well as our monitoring MS Teams channel. We will be shifting to Splunk very soon but the SQL server notifications work fine. Looks something like this Aug 21 2024 1:54PM ERROR connsvr.fqdn BROKER_PROVISIONING_ Provisioning error occurred for Machine MACHINENAME: Customization operation timed out com.vmware.vdi.deskt 1 POOLNAME

Worked for me. Thanks for the work on getting this fixed!

Hello! 🙂 Do you have Windows 10 desktops in the same OU where clipboard redirection outbound is working? Is it a specific display protocol or all protocols?

We have been using Citrix Netscaler (ADC) to load balance Horizon ever since we migrated away from XenApp over 10 years ago. Our strategy changed a little bit when Horizon went away from Security Servers in favor of UAG Appliances. We have a LB VIP for our UAG's, and another LB VIP that the UAG's use to connect to the Connection Servers. That way you can connect with any combination of connection servers and UAG appliances. Back in the day, you needed to create health checks that treated each Security Server/Connection Server as a single entity and if either failed, you needed to take that security server out of the load balancer. A key concept is the load balancers do not maintain the connection to the UAG appliances. Once the Netscalers point connections to a specific UAG appliance, that connection is made around the load balancers. Therefore, your UAG appliances need either a publicly accessible IP address or an inbound NAT, similar to the LB VIP. If you would like more information on how to load balancer Horizon with Netscaler, check out Carl Stalhood's blog.

Thanks, Roch!

Tomoyuki- Is this what you are talking about? When I connect to a pool that defaults to Blast, using the Horizon Client 8.3 (Build 2106), and change the client protocol to PCoIP it indeed uses PCoIP for me. Are you saying it is reverting to Blast for you?

Good afternoon from Wisconsin -- Loving the forums!

I am not sure that it is deprecated or not, but they have not released a build of it since January 2019 (Build 8456). According to their release notes, it does not support Windows 11 (not that it won't work). https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54259 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/mdt/release-notes

I was curious what the current process was to submit a feature request for Horizon or other EUC products? Thanks in advance!

Fantastic resource. Thank you for putting it together!

Super-excited to watch this new community take shape!
