Displaying the First User of a Machine Using the -R Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -R option to find out the initial assignment of a
managed virtual machine. For example, in the event of the loss of LDAP data, you might need this
information so that you can reassign virtual machines to users.
Note The vdmadmin command with the -R option works only on virtual machines that are earlier
than View Agent 5.1. On virtual machines that run View Agent 5.1 and later and
Horizon Agent 7.0
and later versions, this option does not work. To locate the first user of a virtual machine, use the
Events database to determine which users logged into the machine.
Syntax
vdmadmin -R -i network_address
Usage Notes
You cannot use the -b option to run this command as a privileged user. You must be logged in as
a user in the Administrator role.
Options
The -i option specifies the IP address of the virtual machine.
Examples
Display the first user who accessed the virtual machine at the IP address 10.20.34.120.
vdmadmin -R -i 10.20.34.120
Removing the Entry for a Connection Server Instance or
Security Server Using the ‑S Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -S option to remove the entry for a Connection
Server instance or security server from the Horizon 7 configuration.
Syntax
vdmadmin -S [-b authentication_arguments] -r -s server
