I just want to see if anybody else has had the same experience I have with Windows 8 in View. Using View 5.1.0, I've created Windows 8 Enterprise 32-bit and 64-bit pools, and enabled Persona Management using a GPO and within the View Agent. These desktops are in a separate OU from existing View desktops, and the policy applied to them directs the persona to a different repository, with identical permissions and ownership to the existing, working, Persona Management repository for Windows 7 VMs. There seem to be 3 things that will happen:
1. The .v2 folder simply doesn't get created in the repository. Navigating to the location, a user can create a folder, so this does not appear to be a rights issue.
2. If there is an existing .v2 folder in the repository, the Welcome screen will be followed by a black screen with a white mouse cursor. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the desktop, it will display a blue screen, similar to the Welcome screen, that says Signing Out... and never goes away.
3. The Welcome screen appears, but the login process never gets past that point.
Has anybody else seen these same symptoms with Windows 8, or has anybody successfully gotten PM to work with Windows 8? I haven't seen anything about it anywhere online, so I thought I'd start this discussion in case anybody else has their own stories to relate.
