Yesterday we started getting messages on several of our View sessions about a domain trust relationship and the View sessions weren't allowed to sign on. Read through several articles that suggested it might be the computer account password being expired and to do a Recompose to fix. Before doing a full Recompose, I simply did a Remove on one of the View sessions and let it rebuild and it was then able to connect just fine. So I Removed another 5 and they all worked as well. I scheduled a Recompose of the entire pool last night and when I got in this morning I had 19 of the 60 in an error state.
The error is: View Composer agent initialization state error (18): Failed to join the domain (waited 640 seconds)
So I found this article online and implemented the suggested resolution http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1028164
After implementing this, I picked 5 of the View sessions that had the error and did a Remove. 3 of the 5 worked but the other 2 still got the same error message. I signed in to 1 of them and found out it is actually on the domain and has a corresponding AD account. So the error states it can NOT join the domain and in reality is has in fact already joined the domain. So I kept doing a Removed and eventually of the 19, 11 are now working fine. The remaining 8 have been Removed 3 more times and get the same error each time. Has anyone experienced this before? If I sign in to the View session, drop it from the domain then rejoin it, will View pick that up and set the View session as Available?
