Displaying the First User of a Desktop Using the -R Option
You
can use the vdmadmin command with the -R option to find out the initial assignment of a managed desktop.
For example, in the event of the loss of LDAP data, you might need this information so that you can reassign
desktops to users.
NOTE The vdmadmin command with the -R option works only on desktops that are earlier than View Agent
5.1. On desktops that run View Agent 5.1 and later versions, this option does not work. To locate the first user
of a desktop, use the Events database to determine which users logged into the desktop.
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 desktop.
Examples
Display the first user who accessed the machine at the IP address 10.20.34.120.
vdmadmin -R -i 10.20.34.120
Removing the Entry for a View 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 View Connection Server
instance or security server from the View Manager configuration.
Syntax
vdmadmin -S [-b
authentication_arguments ] -r -s server
Usage Notes
To ensure high availability, View Manager allows you to configure one or more replica View Connection Server
instances in a View Connection Server group. If you disable a View Connection Server instance in a group, the
entry for the server persists within the View Manager configuration.
