Hello,
I'm running VMware Horizon Client ver 3.1.0 on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 on an AD domain. When I install the software on a new computer, the 'Login as current user' is working correctly and all is right in the world. However, if I reimage a workstation and add it to the domain using the same computer name (even when I delete the computer object out of AD first), the 'Login as current user' functionality does not work and instead I receive error message 'The Connection Server authentication failed to log in as current user'. If I deselect 'Login as current user', I am able to manually enter the credentials that I am logged on with at the prompt and it works correctly. Does anyone have any ideas why the functionality isn't working on reimaged machines?
Here is the Windows Security Event Viewer entry showing the failure when I try to connect using 'Login as current user'
An account failed to log on.

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.
The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.
The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.
The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
And here is the VMware log during a failed login attempt (username and VDI server name removed for security)
