Resolution
WORKAROUND:
The problem does not actually affect the creation of new VM’s or the behaviour of the auto-expand feature. This is a defect that falsely reports the errors in the Application event log, it can be triggered by setting certain values in the auto-expand options, using other values may stop these errors from being reported.
STATUS:
The defect has been submitted to the vWorkspace development team for consideration in a future version of vWorkspace -
