Setting up your HP Anyware Manager (Legacy version)

How do you deploy SSD disk with HP Anyware workstation templates in Azure?

The template needs to be modified as follows:
Under "osDisk" property, add this attribute:

"managedDisk": {
  "storageAccountType": "StandardSSD_LRS"
} 

You also need to set the "apiVersion" to 2018-04-01:

"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
"name": "[variables('vmSettings').vmNamePrefix]",
"apiVersion": "2018-04-01",

If the AD is down, does HP Anyware Manager have a local fallback user to remove users or provision/delete workstations?

No, HP Anyware Manager does not have a local fallback user. If AD is down, management functions that require AD access will most likely fail.

Do we cache remote workstations information in HP Anyware Manager?

Yes, the brokering information (user assignments and workstations) are stored in the HP Anyware ManagerService.

How does HP Anyware Managerbroker licensing work? Does the HP Anyware Manager do the licensing check for the agent?

License validation occurs between the PCoIP Agent and PCoIP Client when a session is initiated. If there are no available licenses when a session is initiated, an error will be thrown.

HP Anyware Manager assumes that the machines are registered with the Cloud License Server or a local license server. HP Anyware Manager's Connection Manager allocates resources and handles session establishment traffic.

Can I create workstations in multi-regions with HP Anyware Manager deployment?

Yes. The source image needs to be moved in correct region to deploy the workstation.

Why does my HP Anyware Manager Installation fail while connecting to AD server?

[2019-03-07T18:29:45Z] ERROR Could not connect to any server: <FQDN of AD Server>

This error can occur if LDAPS is not enabled on the AD Server. You may need to install a self-signed certificate for LDAPS query to work.
