Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client as a user with the View Administrators or View Administrators (read
only) role and the appropriate vSphere Administrator privileges.
For example: https://vSphere_Web_Client_IP_address_or_FQDN:9443/vsphere-client/
2 In the Search box, type the username of a View user.
3 Select the username from the search results.
4 Select a desktop from the list of desktops that is associated with the user.
5 Navigate to the Virtual Machines page to see details about the underlying desktop virtual machine.
Remove the View Desktops Plug-in
To remove the View Desktops plug-in from the vSphere Web Client, you must unregister the plug-in on
each View Connection Server instance in a replicated group. Next, you remove the vCenter Lookup Service
configuration.
In a replicated group of View Connection Server instances, you cannot unregister the instance on which you
first registered the View Desktops plug-in until all other instances are unregistered.
If you intend to perform maintenance operations on the View Connection Server instances in a replicated
group, you can use the -f option with the regtool.cmd removeLookUpService command to unregister all the
View Connection Server instances and remove the vCenter Lookup Service configuration in one step.
If you intend to bring down a View Connection Server instance for scheduled maintenance, you must
unregister the instance from the vCenter Lookup Service before you start the maintenance procedure.
Procedure
1 On the View Connection Server computer, navigate to the regtool.cmd utility, located in the following
directory:
install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\TechPreview\ViewAdminPlugin
2 Unregister View Desktops plug-in.
For example: regtool.cmd unregister -u view-admin@domain
view-admin@domain is the username and domain of a user with the View Administrators role.
3 At the prompt, type the View Administrators user password.
A return code of 0 indicates that the configuration was successful.
4 Repeat the preceding steps to unregister the plug-in on all View Connection Server instances in a
replicated group.
After all other instances are unregistered, unregister the plug-in on the instance on which you first
performed the registration.
5 Remove the vCenter Lookup Service configuration from View Connection Server.
For example: regtool.cmd removeLookUpService -u view-admin@domain
You can run this command on any View Connection Server instance in a replicated group. The
command fails if the View Desktops plug-in is still registered on any View Connection Server instance.
6 At the prompt, type the View Administrators user password.
A return code of 0 indicates that the configuration was successful.
