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.
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 Using the -S
Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -S option to remove the entry for a View Connection Server
instance 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.
To make the removal permanent, perform these tasks:
1 Uninstall the View Connection Server instance from the Windows Server computer by running the View
Connection Server installer.
2 Remove the Adam Instance VMwareVDMDS program from the Windows Server computer by running
the Add or Remove Programs tool.
3 On another View Connection Server instance, use the vdmadmin command to remove the entry for the
uninstalled View Connection Server instance from the configuration.
