Two applications that I have ThinApp'd use the hostname in the application to make a server connection.
On a physical machine, the applications have the VirtualComputerName commented out and the applications pickup the hostname without issue.
Now, these TA applications are moving to Horizon VIew environments with non-persistent desktops.
These applications are picking up the VDI host name.
Changed the VirtualComptuerName=%ViewClient_Machine_Name% hoping that I would pickup the hostname of the device running the View Client.
When I run a cmd either in the VDI session or from the Thinapp application CMD, echo %ViewClient_Machine_Name% gives the hostname of the View Client, but that is not getting passed on to the application.
The application is still picking up the VDI hostname.
Reason: From https://communities.vmware.com/VirtualComputerName
In addition to specifying a literal string, such as LOCALHOST, you can specify an environment variable.
VirtualComputerName=%VCOMPNAME%
When you specify an environment variable, the value returned is the value of the environment variable. If the value of the VirtualComputerName parameter is %VCOMPNAME%, and the %VCOMPNAME% environment variable is set to EnvCompName, the GetComputerName API returns EnvCompName.
Or is my only option to use LocalHost?
Thanks!
