Hello all,
Hoping someone can help shed some light on this for me. For background, our environment is 5.3 across the board for the Connection server and agents (5.3.2 agent specifically), and we are utilizing the 5.0.1 client. I wouldn't get stuck on the client version as we see the same behavior with the Horizon 2.3.3 client version as well. Our client machines are a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP, but are mostly 7. Anyway, here is what happens:
We have most of our connecting clients as shelled out Kiosk machines with local user accounts, not using View kiosk mode, but a third party application that provides some other functionality and mainly just calls View via command line. The vast majority of our client machines were imaged and set up with this third party shell. When the View client is launched, it sits at "establishing secure connection" for upwards of 20 seconds before proceeding through and connecting the user to their desktop. Now, the weird part is that if I simply launch Internet Explorer once and close it, this behavior completely goes away and you barely notice a delay in connecting at all. If i go into Internet Options and hit the "reset Internet Explorer settings" button, the long 20+ second delay returns. I do not think there are any IE group policy settings as these machines are logged into local accounts, and therefore aren't subject to our domain IE settings policy. Also, I can mimic this behavior on a regular workstation with a domain user logged in.
I am hoping I can at least find out if anyone knows what Internet Options settings View might care about and rely on. I'm guessing there is some delay or time out with some kind of hand shaking or certificate verification somewhere, but I've tried out various settings but have come up empty. Thanks!
