If a desktop reports that it is ready, but does not accept connections, check the firewall configuration to
make sure that the display protocol (RDP or PCoIP) is not blocked. See “Connection Problems Between
Desktops and View Connection Server Instances,” on page 311.
n
If a desktop appears to be missing from a vCenter Server, verify whether its virtual machine is configured
on the expected vCenter Server, or if it has been moved to another vCenter Server.

If a desktop has an active login, but this is not on the console, the session must be remote. If you cannot
contact the logged-in users, you might need to restart the virtual machine to forcibly log out the users.
Manage Desktops and Policies for Unentitled Users
You can display the desktops 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 desktop but they are no longer entitled to
use the desktop pool.
You can also use the vdmadmin command to display unentitled desktops and policies. See “Displaying the
Desktops and Policies of Unentitled Users Using the -O and -P Options,” on page 338.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select Desktops.
2 Select More Commands > View Unentitled Machines.
3 Remove the desktop assignments for unentitled users and roll back local desktops that unentitled users
have checked out.
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.
