A View administrator attempting to install View Composer receives the error:
The database cannot be found or a connection cannot be established. Check the DSN name to
ensure that it is correctly installed.
The View administrator verifies that the DSN name, the username, and the password for the DSN
are correct.
Which troubleshooting step should the View administrator take next?

An administrator is installing View Composer on an existing vCenter Server system. The
databases are stored on a separate virtual machine running Microsoft SQL Server. A service
account has been created in Active Directory and granted administrator and database owner
rights.
During the installation, clicking the Test Connection button in the ODBC entry is successful but
View Composer cannot connect to the database and the install will not continue.
What is the cause of this problem?

Due to site security requirements, a View environment needs the ability to determine if a user has
logged in to a specific desktop at any time during the previous two months. Upon viewing the
Events page in View Administrator, the administrator finds that only the previous four weeks of
events are shown.
What should the administrator verify to diagnose the issue?

An administrator is setting up the View Event Database using Microsoft SQL Server for the data.

After configuring the settings in View Administrator, the following error is displayed:
An error occurred while attempting to configure the database. Double check the database
parameters and ensure that the database is not down, restarting, or otherwise unavailable.
Which configuration steps could help correct this issue?

An administrator is setting up the View Event Database using a Microsoft SQL Server for the data.
After configuring the settings in View Manager, the following error is displayed:
An error occurred while attempting to configure the database. Double check the database
parameters and ensure that the database is not down, restarting, or otherwise unavailable.
Which configuration changes could be made to help correct this issue?

An administrator has configured the View Event Database on a heavily used View environment.

After 90 days the Event Database stopped adding data, even though no configuration changes
were made.
What will resolve the issue?

Ten physical desktops that use a specialized application were migrated to the View environment
as linked clones. A newly-created parent virtual machine mimics the original software
configuration. The configuration was tested extensively before deployment. Now, whenever a user
logs in to a desktop and starts the application, it displays an error that says the SID for this
desktop has already been assigned.
Which task should the administrator perform to resolve the problem?

A desktop administrator is creating a virtual desktop to be used as a template for linked clones.

An application that requires domain authentication is being installed, so the virtual desktop is
added to the domain before installation. After the setup is complete, the administrator powers off
the virtual desktop and creates the template. When a pool is created using this template, the
desktops fail to finish customization. One of the desktop Event Viewer logs shows the following
message:
getTrustedDomains: Cannot find the primary domain name
What is the cause of this problem?

An administrator is deploying and deleting multiple pools of linked clone desktops during a testing
phase. During the provisioning of the last pool, the desktops remain in the Customizing state for a
long time. A red X appears on the icon next to the pool name, and the pool is disabled.
What is the most likely cause of the problem?

An administrator has created a new linked clone pool and the virtual machines in the pool are not
finishing customization. After reviewing the agent logs, it is determined that an initialization state
error has occurred.
