Microsoft Datacenter TCO Analysis Tool

Microsoft Datacenter TCO Analysis Tool.

 

What is it ?

 

The Microsoft Cloud OS solution provides a modern datacenter with enterprise class virtualization, greater resource utilization, end-to-end service management and deep insight into applications so organizations can focus on delivering business value. Together with Windows Azure or a Microsoft Service Provider, you can also create advanced hybrid cloud deployment scenarios where seasonal spikes in demand can be easily managed through the public cloud.

Our web-based tool provides a quick comparison of the TCO and benefits of deploying a Microsoft hybrid cloud vs. a VMware private cloud solution for your new workloads; or migrating your existing VMware workloads.

Server's certificate cannot be checked.

Administration dashboard in VMware Horizon View 5.1/5.2/5.3 reports the error: Server's certificate cannot be checked (2000063)

Symptoms

• View Administration dashboard displays Connection Server in red status.
• View Administration dashboard displays Security Server in red status.
• Clicking Connection Server in View Administration displays this error:
  
  Connection Server certificate is not trusted
  
• Clicking Security Server in View Administration displays this error:
  
  Server's certificate cannot be checked
  
• You are able to connect externally through the Security Server.
• The certificates on the server are valid.

Cause

This issue occurs if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) includes a URL that cannot be accessed from the Connection Server paired to the Security Server.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, ensure that the Connection Servers that are paired with Security Servers are able to check the URL in the Certificate Revocation List (CRL), if your environment includes a proxy server that controls Internet access.

To work around this issue, create a CertificateRevocationCheckType registry string in Windows Registry.

Note: This procedure modifies the Windows registry. Before making any registry modifications, ensure that you have a current and valid backup of the registry and the virtual machine. For more information on backing up and restoring the registry, see the Microsoft article 136393.

To create a CertificateRevocationCheckType registry string in Windows Registry:

Note: If you are using multiple connection servers, you need to make this registry modification on all Connection Servers.

1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Security\ in the View Connection Server.
   
   Caution: Ensure that you make changes in the Connection Server and not the Security Server.
   
   
2. Create the CertificateRevocationCheckType registry string (REG_SZ) and set its value to 1.
   

A reboot is not required to make this change take effect.
