Problem

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager does not run at login, or it runs every second login when FlexEngine is configured to start as a Group Policy client-side extension.

Cause

You configured FlexEngine to start as a Group Policy client-side extension, but you did not also configure the GPO setting, Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon.

Solution

  • Enable the Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon Computer Group Policy setting to ensure that the FlexEngine Group Policy client-side extension runs during each logon. Apply this setting to an OU in Active Directory where all the Windows clients that are managed with VMware Dynamic Environment Manager are located.
