New-AdvancedSetting -Entity $vm -Name svga.enableScreenDMA -Value TRUE -Force -Confirm:$FALSE To add this advanced option to all desktops I used this PowerCLI code, because I didnР’Т‘t plan to do it manually to 200 desktops: In my case the environment has been on version 6.0 U2 prior the update, so according to this description I should have had this problem also before, which was not the case.Р”Р„nyway I gave it a try and set the РІР‚Сљ svga.enableScreenDMAРІР‚Сњ option to РІР‚Сљ TrueРІР‚Сњ on one of the desktops and seeРІР‚В¦.thatР’Т‘s it! Not possible via the HTML5 client btw (argh!). I found this one already earlier, but didnР’Т‘t took a closer look because it states: РІР‚Сљin vSphere 6.0 and laterРІР‚Сњ. (The link to the related KB in the original release notes is broken by the way, it is. For information about manually enabling screen DMA, see VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article 2144475, Manually enabling screen DMA in a virtual machine. However, if Horizon Agent is installed in a virtual machine in unmanaged mode (VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0), screen DMA is not enabled. When Horizon 7 provisions a desktop pool, it automatically enables screen DMA for all vCenter Server-managed virtual machines in the pool.

If screen DMA is disabled, users see a black screen when they connect to the remote desktop. Screen DMA is disabled by default in virtual machines that are created in vSphere 6.0 and later. After switching them to RDP as display protocol it worked directly fine again.Р”Р„fter some testing and research, I came back to a note in the compatibility notes section of the release notes of Horizon ViewР’В : The users just got a black screen after connecting to the desktop pool.

#VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 NO MOUSE UPGRADE#

In a recent project, I just run into the problem that a vSphere upgrade from 6.0U2 to 6.5 broke the possibility to connect to the existing Horizon View VMs via PCoIP (HTML5 / Blast also affected).
