vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite 3.17 Release
Notes
We're happy to announce the following enhancements in this release.
- Configure number of CPU cores used in a LivePC
- Display a custom EULA when starting Moka5 Player
- Run host scripts on Mac or Windows host computers
- Create Domain Join Packets using an API
- Identify the MAC address of host computers from the Management Server
Configure number of CPU cores used in a LivePC
Provides end users the control to assign additional host CPU resources to improve
LivePC performance.
Display a custom EULA when starting vWorkspace Moka5 Suite Player
For BYO initiatives, administrators can present a custom End User License Agreement
to users, and track user acceptance from the Management Server.
Run host scripts on Mac or Windows host computers
This mechanism adds flexibility for IT administrators to collect important host attributes
and to perform critical checks and actions at vWorkspace - Moka5 SuitePlayer start time,
before users gain access to LivePC images. Results can be reported back to the Management Server.
Create Domain Join Packets using an API
Provides an advanced method for administrators to implement the Domain Join Packet
creation process, without the need to use vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite Creator. This can
be used by enterprises to:
l
l
Automate the creation of packets at user-provisioning time, integrated with an
external provisioning workflow
Manually recreate a packet for a specific user while preserving the same computer
name
Identify the MAC address of host computers from the
Management Server
Administrators can verify the host MAC address reported to the Management Server for
security and auditing purposes.
For more information
Please refer to the Resolved Issues section to see what else was fixed in 3.17.
IMPORTANT – Updated vWorkspace MokaFive Suite license is required after
upgrade to 3.17
Summary
We’ve made an update to our licensing mechanism that requires all existing deployments to obtain an updated license (from vWorkspace - MokaFive Suite) after upgrading
to 3.17.
l
No special action is required during a NEW installation of vWorkspace - MokaFive
Suite 3.17 Management Server.
l
If your existing Management Server can access the Internet directly, no further action is required. The updated license will be applied automatically during
l
server upgrade.
If your existing Management Server cannot access the Internet directly (or
sits behind a proxy), then action is required. Please follow the instructions
below.
How to apply the updated license
If your existing Management Server cannot access the Internet directly (or sits behind a
proxy), please follow the instructions in the LivePC Administrator Guide to save a .M5R
file from your server and retrieve a .M5L file from Moka5.
You do not need to input a new Customer ID and Deployment ID. These should already
be pre-populated on your existing server.
If you have any difficulty applying the updated license, please contact Quest Support for
assistance.
What happens if the updated license is not applied?
If the updated license is not applied, you will notice several things after the 3.17
upgrade:
l
When logged in to the Management Console, a warning message will appear at
the top header, indicating that you need to apply a new vWorkspace - MokaFive
l
l
Suite license to the server.
When logged in to the Management Console, you will be unable to upload a new
Client Pack.
When logged in to the End User Console, you will be unable to download the
Moka5 Player Installer.
l Behind the scenes, the Player Auto-update process will be blocked.
All of these items will be resolved when you apply the updated Moka5 license to your
Management Server.

l
USB installation requires high performance USB drive with at least 8GB for Windows XP images and 16 GB for Windows 7 images.
Note: Windows 8 Support Compatibility Notice: Moka5 Suite vWorkspace - 3.13
and above supports running Windows 8 64-bit on a host system only. In version 3.16,
vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite introduces a Windows 8 preview for guests, allowing admins
to test Windows 8 images, with some limitations. Please see Release Notes for more
information.
USB 3.0 Support Compatibility Notice: Moka5 Suite vWorkspace - does not yet support USB 3.0 for Windows 7 images because Windows 7 does not include native driver
support for USB 3.0. However, you can still use USB 2.0 devices with USB 3.0 ports
and USB 3.0 devices with USB 2.0 ports. In both cases, the devices will operate at USB
2.0 speeds. (A USB 2.0 hub can be used to connect USB 3.0 devices.)
Management Server and Image Store (all-in-one)
Please note: All components require 32-bit Java. At this time, Moka5 does not support
64-bit Java.
The recommended configurations assume that the server is dedicated to Moka5.

Database requirements
vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite Infrastructure requires the following to configure Microsoft
SQL Server:
l
l
l
l
l
l
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2
SQL Server Authentication - Mixed-mode authentication enabled
Database server hostname
Port
Database name (can be anything you choose; for example, m5esdb)
Database user credentials (username, password). User should have
schema change permissions. In addition, the database will probably be about 100 kbs per LivePC per user. Quarterly
archiving of old log records from the database can help keep the size of the database
quite small.You can use your shared Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 infrastructure to
host the database.
Most vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite deployments can be satisfied by the free Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 R2 Express edition, which is limited to 10GB of database size and 1GB of
RAM usage. The SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition can be installed on the Management Server computer.
IMPORTANT: vWorkspace - Moka5 Suite currently does not support named SQL
Server instances (<Server Hostname><Named Instance>). Moka5 will only work with the
default instance. Check with your database administrator if you are not sure about the
database server configuration.

Description
Note: Dual display configurations are not supported

On BareMetal, closing laptop lid may

Depending on the devices connected to a VM when
it was created, importing that VM and running it on
Player may cause Windows to issue extraneous
warning messages. This is because the VM
expects to find devices that are not there. This can
be worked around by editing the VMX file before
importing to remove the offending lines.

On Mac hosts, suspending the LivePC
within a minute of
resuming may not
work
On Mac hosts, resuming a suspended LivePC and
then suspending again too soon (within about a
minute) may result in the suspend dialog to appear
then disappear without the LivePC suspending. The workaround is to wait about 30 seconds and try
again.

On some “SandyBridge” BareMetal machines, when

still closed) it sleeps. On opening lid, the display is
blacked, with no keyboard response.

Vista has a User Account Control feature which will
cause Player or Creator installation to fail. The workaround is to disable UAC before installation. After
installation, UAC can be re-enabled without problem.

these machines, the clock speed takes several
seconds to resume to normal after new activity.

If a user downloads a LivePC on a BareMetal host
and does not start the LivePC; but, later tries to start
while behind a captive portal, the user will not be
able to login to the LivePC.
Workaround: if BareMetal browser is enabled,
launch browser and establish connectivity first, then
start LivePC; otherwise, start LivePC while on the
corporate network.

After an auto-update, the Player will go offline

If a user starts Cisco VPN on a Mac 10.6 host, starts

Workaround is to either reboot your host or issue the
following command in a terminal window: sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN

the user does this.
