PCoIP Session Timoeout on Zero Clients

So I have started setting up Wyse P25 Zero-clients in kiosk mode, I left the Single-Sign-on option turned off to allow any user to login to the VDI.

Shortly after setting up my first 10 my View Connection Broker started filling up with Warnings similar to:

" The pending session on machine X for user Y has expired "

Turns out there is a default PCoIP session ticket timeout of 15 minutes. The following registry key can be added to the virtual desktop to modify the timeout limit.

Browse to the following registry hive:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VMD\Agent\Configuration

Add a new DWORD entry called "VdmConnectionTicketTimeout"

Setting a Value of 8000 will mean the timeout is approx. 24 hours. (adjust as you need)

VMware View Agent Installation fails

If you are perfoming an upgrade or uninstall of the VMware View Agent on a VM and the installer fails with the message that the install was interrupted you can correct this problem by going into the services on teh VM and setting the VMware View Agent and VMware View Guest Composer services to "disbaled" then rebooting.

Restart your install or uninstall and the problem will should be gone.
