A-4 Running RGS diagnostics
You should run the RGS diagnostics utility, rgdiag.exe, following installation of the RGS Sender to determine
what additional OS configuration needs to be done to properly support RGS in the VDI environment. OS
configuration typically includes the following:
Firewall configuration to allow rgsender.exe to pass through.
•
Simple file sharing mode unset.
•
Using regedt32, set registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
•
CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AllowMultipleTSSessions to 0 (zero).
For information on running rgdiag.exe, see the section
A-5 Disabling the RGS warning popup
RGS alerts the user when the main console is still viewable. The hardware feature used for screen blanking is not
available in VMware ESX virtual machines. Therefore, by default, this warning message appears on the user's
desktop. The persistent "Sender Monitor is Viewable" popup can be removed by editing the rgsenderconfig
file in the RGS Sender directory. This can be done by un-commenting the following line, and setting it as shown:
Rgsender.IsBlankScreenAndBlockInputEnabled=0
A-6 RGS operating modes available with VDI
Both RGS operating modes can be used in establishing a connection from a client computer to a virtual desktop
session:
Normal Mode
•
Directory Mode
•
A-7 Using HP Session Allocation Manager with HP VDI
HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) 2.1 or later can be used to manage RGS connections from client
computers to virtual desktop sessions, provided that the HP SAM Registration Service is installed within the virtual
desktop. For information on SAM, visit www.hp.com/go/sam.
