How do you troubleshoot SxS Stack on Windows 7 Desktops?
Thank you for the input! I have it set in local GPO as the article describes on the VM to enable it. Do you know if it is a registry key I can check? Also was your VM Win 7 Pro or Enterprise?
AndrewPhebus Mine is Enterprise, I was under the understanding that only Ent was supported. Not sure about the registry keys. Enabling RDP8 fixed it on one but now I have another that I can't get to enable. I have a case open with MS.
Thanks! I have a case open as well as Sev A and have only gotten an email back that they will look into it. Any traction on yours?
AndrewPhebus I exchanged emails with the queue manager on Friday and was informed they were inundated with WVD calls and they couldn't give me a reliable ETA on someone working with me. Hoping to get somewhere today...
I made some headway on this finally. I had a Windows Update that was failing (4516065) and I read that to install that you had to have 4490628, 4474419, and 4516655 first. I had 4474419 already, but not the other two and they weren't showing in Windows Update. So I downloaded the other two from the Catalog and installed them and then manually installed 4516065 and rebooted and the SxS Stack for WVD worked immediately. This has worked on 2 separate Win7 machines so far.
My Issue ended up being the Windows 7 Professional cannot join WVD. I was successful in completing an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 Professional to Enterprise then Sysprep a custom image and automating the pool deployment from the custom image.
