Clear the Cloud-Managed Properties from a Horizon Pod that was Offline During the Process to Disconnect it from Horizon Cloud

If you use the Remove or Disconnect button in the Horizon Cloud administrative console to remove a cloud-connected pod from use with Horizon Cloud, and the pod was offline or unavailable, you can still proceed to disconnect the pod from Horizon Cloud. In this case though, you must subsequently remove the pod's cloud-managed properties from the Horizon global database, because the system could not automatically remove those properties when Horizon Cloud could not communicate with the pod. If left in place, the cloud-managed properties prevent you from renaming the pod or removing it from a pod federation.

Prerequisites

Disconnect the on-premises pod from Horizon Cloud. See Removing Cloud-Connected Horizon Pods from Use with Horizon Cloud.

Procedure

1. Log in to the pod's Connection Server with domain administrator privileges.

2. Open the ADSI Edit tool (from Windows Administrative Tools).

3. In ADSI Edit, configure a connection to the Horizon global database.

   1. In the console, right-click ADSI Edit and then click Connect to.

   2. In the Name text box, enter a display name for this connection, like Horizon Global Database.

   3. Select Select or type a Distinguished Name or Naming Context. In the text box, enter the vdiglobal DC name information that's in your pod deployment's Horizon LDAP. (When a pod federation is present, the attribute includes dc=vdiglobal.)

   4. Select Select or type a domain or server. In the text box, enter the following server information:

      localhost:22389
      

   5. Click OK.

   The connection to the Horizon global database is established.

4. Expand the entry that you just created in the ADSI Edit tool until you see OU=Properties under that entry.

5. Clear the cloud-managed property from the pod.

   1. Under OU=Properties, locate OU=Pod.

   2. Locate the target pod in the OU=Pod list, right-click it, and select Properties.

      The pod appears in the list with its Horizon Administrator or Horizon Console name.

   3. Set the value of the pae-CloudManaged attribute to 0.

      Setting the value to 0 clears the cloud-managed property from the pod.

6. Clear the cloud-managed property from global entitlements.

   1. At the same level parallel to OU=Properties, navigate to OU=Entitlements.

   2. Locate the global entitlement in the OU=Entitlements list. Right-click the global entitlement and select Properties.

      The global entitlement appears in the list with its Horizon Administrator or Horizon Console name.

   3. Set the value of the pae-CloudManaged attribute to 0.

      Setting the value to 0 clears the cloud-managed property from the global entitlement.
