Hi All,
This is a cross-post from the Mirage forum. As I need information about the View agent I was advised to post here.
I'm working on a project where we are centralising physical endpoints, then restoring them to full clone View VM's. We are utilising a run once script to back up the registry entries for the View agent, then a fake driver to restore the View agent registry entries from the backup. We are using a base layer and app layer (containing the View agent and VMware tools) on the DR recovery, specifying replace user machine, full system restore, and keep the VM name.
All of this works, with the exception of the View agent not reporting to the View connection server. The View agent service is running, and the restored View agent data is intact. The machine ID in the vmx matches the agent ID.
My question is this: what unique data does the View agent have on a per machine basis, and where is it kept? I know of HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Node Manager.
Thanks in advance
Phil
