Within VMware UEM you are able to filter out settings based on conditions. These condition can be set directly on the config or by creating a condition set and attach the condition set on the config. Some examples of conditions are Endpoint IP Address, Environment Variables, Group Membership, IP Address and a lot more.
Problem
At a customer we experienced a very strange problem. Once starting the VMware UEM Management console and changing or creating a condition or condition set. We were not able to browse the AD when selecting the condition Group Membership. The browse button was grayed out and we got the following message: Browsing for groups is only available on domain-joined computers. So the strange part is: The machine is domain joined.

Problem
A while ago a customer had an issue with deploying the VMware Unified Access Gateway. The customer imported the OVA and did the necessary config to deploy the OVA. Once installed the OVA didn’t start and came back with a strange error message:
Cannot initialize property ‘gateway2’. Network ‘DAAS-01_BE’ has no associated network protocol profile.

When users need to wait for 60 seconds until they can interact with the application the user experience is impacted. We encountered this behaviour at a costumer and needed to troubleshoot this.
