Hey all,
We are updating our physical public computers that run our VDI with newer computers. We have a login script that automatically starts the horizon view client that looks like this:
@Echo off
TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe
:Start
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\vmware-view.exe" -desktopProtocol PCOIP -domainname domain_name –desktopName pool_name -userName user_name -password password –serverURL server_name
ping -n 10 localhost
goto Start
I have been testing out one of our new computers configured to run this script but the password field refuses to autofill with the password that is specified in the script. It fills all of the other information out correctly, but wants you to put in the password manually.
We have used this same script for years to auto login to our remote desktops and it has worked flawlessly. The only change in the script was to change the directory from "Program Files" to "Program Files (x86)". The new computers use the 64 bit version of the same OS (old used Windows 8.1 Enterprise 32-bit, new uses Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit).
We are also using a different version of the Horizon client (old client is 3.5 and the the client is 4.9).
I have looked at the command line options for the Horizon client 4.9 and all of the options used in the script seem to still be valid. I am honestly at a loss as to why the password option isn't passing the password to the field in the client automatically. Is there some setting I am missing?
