RDSh Server: Windows 2008 X64 R2 Enterprise (patched to date) RDSh server is a VM on Hyper-V (2008 X64 R2 DC) vWorkspace: 7.6
I have just done a clean build of a Remote Desktop Session Host server. The only applications installed so far is Office 2010 (Sp1 x86) and McAfee (currently disabled). The server is working fine, I can RDP to it and the performance is great, etc ,etc…
However when I install the vWorkspace TS components on it, explore (file explore, start menu, etc) frequently lock up/crash and the login process is very slow (with errors).
If I uninstall the vWorkspace TS components, everything is fine again…
This is what happens on login:
Waiting or closing the program will cause a delay of about 30 seconds before login resumes…
The start menu will load but desktop icons remain missing for a short while.
Clicking on the start menu will show this:
Waiting for it to respond will eventually open the start menu but that’s when the frequent locks occur…

Ok... Basicly what solved this is hardcoding our DNS suffix on the NIC... Once this was done everything sprang into life!
We used to have a similar issue with VDI desktops back in the vworkspace 6.x days...
