VDI can be deployed in a private or public cloud and considered as a type of IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that allows users to host a desktop operating system (OS) on servers as well as access VM-based desktops by users remotely from different devices and locations. This blog post explores virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), use cases of VDI, and what VMware Horizon is. Using virtualized desktops may be also a good idea in certain cases. Virtualized servers that are run on virtual machines (VMs) are widely used by companies in production environments due to their advantages such as scalability and cost-efficiency. With the checks listed above the replication can be checked and in most cases repaired if it is broken.Virtualization and cloud-based services are rapidly becoming more popular. Ensure that replication has not been disabled by using the following command: repadmin /options localhost:389 -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL.Change the fqdn-locahost and fqdn-remote host to the View Connection Server names in your environment.Force replication by using the following command: repadmin.exe /replicate fqdn-localhost:389 fqdn-remotehost:389 dc=vdi,dc=vmware,dc=int.It will restart the View Connection Server service. Restart the VMware View LDAP directory service (VMware VDMS service).Check if port 389 is open on the View Connection Servers.Here are some tips for troubleshooting replication problems: Here is an example when logging in the VMware View Administrator on each View Connection server, it displays differences in the ” Preparing” ” Problem Desktops” and ” Prepare for use” amounts. When having replication problems, changes are not replicated. When there are problems with the replication between the Connection Servers errors as “8453 Replication access was denied”, “1772 The list of RPC servers available for the binding of auto handles has been exhausted” or 8457 The destination servers is currently rejecting replication requests” are displayed using the repadmin utility. When the replication is okay, it looks like something below: Checking the replication status can be done by using the following command: repadmin.exe /showrepl localhost:389 DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int So regular checking the replication status is a good thing. The VMware View Administrator dashboard does not check the replication status.

Configuration changes made are not replicated.Configuration, Pool and desktop information is stored in the ADAM database. In environments with multiple Horizon View Connection Servers (High Available) the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory is replicated.
