I'm currently setting up a POC of View at work.
We have decided to use the linked clones’ option. The pool is small, as it's just a POC, with max size 10, and start off with 3 provisioned.
Part way through the provisioning of the servers I get the error
"View Composer agent initialization state error (20): Internal Error, failed to synchronize computer password (waited 0 seconds)"
When I first created the pools (1 Win7 32 bit pool and 1 Win7 64 bit pool) some worked some didn’t so I had the initial 3 with numbers like vm01, vm02 and vm04
I did a recompose this week of the 64 bit pool, to add in some patches and other changes and every existing VM in that pool once again gave me the error:
“View Composer agent initialization state error (20): Internal Error, failed to synchronize computer password (waited 0 seconds)”
It then went on to try and provision more to get a working one but stopped as it hit the pool’s maximum.
I have avoided recomposing the 32 bit pool at the moment, as it is sort of working.
I am currently using sysprep but I did receive the error when testing out a pool using quick prep as well.
Can anyone enlighten me on what may be wrong?
Thanks
Notes:
View version 5.2, ESXi v5.1, with Blast installed
View is running in its own cluster, with its own host in our test network
