VMware Horizon View 7: Create Master Desktop Template [Part 6]

简介:

Part 6 of the series we will be creating a ‘golden’ master desktop template to use for our View Desktop pools. I will be creating a Windows 10 template but you could use any Windows version you wish!

  2. VMware Horizon View 7: Apply SSL Certificates

  3. VMware Horizon View 7: Create Events Database

  4. VMware Horizon View 7: Add Microsoft RDS Farm

  8. VMware Horizon View 7: Instant Clone Desktop Pool

Virtual Hardware:

When creating the VM shell ensure you have the following set:

  • For best performance ensure VMXNET3 is used for Network

    • Horizon View - Template Adapter Type VMXNET 3

  • For best performance ensure Paravirtual is used as SCSI controller type

    • Horizon View - Template SCSI Type Paravirtual

  • Enabled Memory and CPU Hot Add

    • Horizon View 7 - Enable Memory and CPU Hot Add

  • Remove Floppy Drive and Disable in BIOS. Disabling the Floppy drive will free a nominal amount of resources from the host. If you deploy a large quantity of desktops the reduction could make a positive impact. Who needs to mount a floppy image anyways?

    • Horizon View 7 - Remove Floppy

    • Force Boot into BIOS

    • Horizon View 7 - Boot into BIOS to remove Floppy

    • Horizon View 7 - Disable Floppy

 VMware Fling – OS Optimization Tool:

Once you have the OS installed there are lots of things to configure within the OS itself. There is an awesome Fling to make this task easy! Enter the VMware OS Optimization Tool, it has predefined templates of how the VM should be configured. Big shout out to the engineers that created this!

Download the Fling here

Horizon View 7 - 1 VMware OS Optimization

NET Framework 3.5 is required before you can launch the Optimization Tool from the downloaded ZIP file. Once launched scroll through the list and tweak the settings how you want the template to be in your environment. Once you are satisfied with the selections click Optimize.

Note: Once deployed in your environment group policy will override changes that conflict, such as background, timeouts, etc.

Horizon View 7 - 2 VMware OS Optimization

Install Horizon View Agent:

Ensure the View Agent is installed, during installation make sure the Instant Clone feature is installed instead of View Composer. Also leave RDP enabled, it helps to have during troubleshooting.

Install Additional Applications:

To finish the template ensure Windows is updated, and install any additional applications such as Chrome, PDF Reader, etc. Give it a final reboot and login to ensure there aren’t any final messages that pop up. You are now ready to shut it down and Convert to Template.

Create Guest Customization:

Final step is to create a guest customization script for your specific OS. Make sure all fields are correct but here are a few key notes:

  • Computer Name: Use “Use the virtual machine name”

  • Windows License: Ensure you have the correct license for your OS! Otherwise it will bomb out during sysprep

  • Network: Use Typical settings which sets the NIC to DHCP

Now that we have a template and a compliment guest customization we are ready to create a View Desktop Pool!

【2025最新】 神奇!VMware Workstation Pro虚拟机还原与删除功能,让你轻松应对各种场景!
删除和还原VMware虚拟机的操作步骤如下: **删除虚拟机:** 1. 选择要删除的虚拟机,右键点击并选择“移除”。 2. 这仅从列表中移除虚拟机,并未彻底删除。需前往VMware默认存储路径(如 `D:\VMware\data`),找到对应虚拟机文件夹并删除。 **还原虚拟机:** 1. 若误删虚拟机列表项目,可通过右键点击空白处,选择“打开”,找到保存虚拟机的路径文件夹。 2. 选择被删除虚拟机对应的 `.vmx` 配置文件并打开,即可在列表中恢复该虚拟机。 总结:VMware虚拟机可用于模拟多种操作系统和开发环境,掌握删除与还原技巧可提高使用效率。

【2025最新】VMware Workstation Pro 虚拟机配置与安装VMware Tools 感受它的强大~
VMware Tools 是 VMware 虚拟机中自带的一种增强工具,能够显著提升虚拟机的性能和用户体验。它提供了优化的显卡驱动程序、文件共享与拖放功能、时间同步以及跨虚拟机和宿主机的复制粘贴功能。安装 VMware Tools 可以让虚拟机在 VMware 平台上运行得更加高效,并且对于老旧系统(如 Win98、Win2000、WinXP)也能提供必要的驱动支持。每个虚拟机都需要独立安装与其操作系统版本相匹配的 VMware Tools,以确保最佳兼容性和性能表现。
