To ensure that the GINA is chained properly, you must configure the WinLogon GINA to be the View GINA
and make sure that the vdmGinaChainDLL is created and contains the third-party GINAs.
If you did not install any software that chains to a different GINA, the default is msgina.dll, which is
located at %systemroot%\system32\msgina.dll on the virtual machine.
Solution
1 Log in to the parent virtual machine, template virtual machine, or View machine.
2 Click Start > Run, type Regedit, and press Enter.
3 Navigate to the following Windows registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon\GinaDLL
4 Ensure that the GinaDLL key has the following value:
install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Agent\bin\wsgina.dll
install_directory is the path where you installed View Agent.
5 If the vdmGinaChainDLL string value does not exist, create it.
a Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version
b Create the vdmGinaChainDLL key.
6 Place the third-party GINA dll names in the vdmGinaChainDLL key.
7 If you still experience problems with the Windows XP machines, ensure that no vendor-specific GINA
keys are loaded in the registry.
If third-party GINA keys are loaded, the chaining GINA might still be calling the default GINA, msgina.
Some network management and security software products place their GINA replacement dlls in their
own installation directories, in registry paths such as this one:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vendor_ID_or_Name\GINA_key_reference\GINA_Load_Instruction =
msgina
Remove these GINA keys from the vendor-specific location and place them in the vdmGinaChainDLL key.
Manage Machines and Policies for Unentitled Users
You can display the machines that are allocated to users whose entitlement has been removed, and you can
also display the policies that have been applied to unentitled users.
A user who is unentitled might have left the organization permanently, or you might have suspended their
account for an extended period of time. These users are assigned a machine but they are no longer entitled
to use the machine pool.
You can also use the vdmadmin command with the -O or -P option to display unentitled machines and
policies. For more information, see the View Administration document.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select Resources > Machines.
2 Select More Commands > View Unentitled Machines.
3 Remove the machine assignments for unentitled users.
4 Select More Commands > View Unentitled Machines or More Commands > View Unentitled Policies
as appropriate.
5 Change or remove the policies that are applied to unentitled users.
