Delete old virtual desktops in Vmware View
In our Vmware View environment, we had some old virtual desktops left into the View Manager console.
After trying to delete those old desktops from ‘Desktop Sources’ in the Manager console, I got this error:
Failed to remove VM: /CARGLASS/vm/Vmware View/…/PC01 from SVI inventory – Fail to connect to SVI: https://OldvCenterServer:8443 – The message with To ‘https://OldvCenterServer:8443/SviService/v2_0′ cannot be processed at the receiver, due to an AddressFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. Check that the sender and receiver’s EndpointAddresses agree.
There’s no possibility to delete the old desktops using the Administrator console…you have to use ADAM-adsiedit:
* Start ADAM ADSI edit on the View Connection Server
* Choose Connect to… and make a new connection to DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int like this:
* Go to OU=Servers, and now you can see all the virtual desktops activated in View…
* Each line presents a virtual desktop in View…so navigate to the properties of each to check the name of the old virtual desktops in the ‘Description’ attribute:
* Delete the lines that present the old virtual desktops and they will not be visible anymore in the View Manager console!
