Problem 5
Virtual desktop device is unable to log in, but credentials are all correct. What shall I do?
Solution
Disconnect all cables from the virtual desktop device, plug them back in and turn the unit on. If the login screen appears and you still can’t log in, contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings.
Problem 6
It’s not possible to log all virtual desktop devices. How to fix it?
Solution
Unplug the router and switch and plug them back in. Try to log in again. If that doesn't help, please check if the internet connection is available on the server. If the internet connection is available, switch might be faulty. If it's not, then router might be faulty. Please contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings.
Problem 7
Virtual desktop device is showing only black screen. What can be the cause?
Solution
Make sure the unit is visible in the NEXI Board management console. If so, cabling might be faulty or not connected correctly. Make sure that all cables (especially the HDMI cable) are plugged in correctly.
If the cabling is OK, swap the monitor for the working one. If you see the image, there’s a fault in the monitor. If not, unit might be faulty. Please contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings.
If the unit is not visible in the NEXI Board Management Console, check the cabling. Swap the cabling for the working one. Please contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings.
Problem 8
Keyboard or mouse delivered by NEXINEO isn't working (applies both to the server and virtual desktop device). How shall I proceed?
Solution
Connect the mouse/keyboard to another virtual desktop device. If it doesn't work, please contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings, it needs to be claimed. If the mouse/keyboard works on another unit, Virtual desktop device needs to be reinstalled/reconfigured. Please contact NEXINEO IT Support and describe your findings.
Problem 9
Connected USB peripherals (other than keyboards, mice, storage media) don't work on the virtual desktop device. Why is this happening?
Solution
Make sure the component USB Redirection is part of your system and is correctly set up.
Applies to older systems only. Please contact NEXINEO IT Support to find out what version you do have installed.
Problem 10
The system generally doesn't work. What to do?
Solution
Check all hardware components like server, switch, router, virtual desktop devices and monitors are powered on and all cabling is correct. You should be able to log into the server. Check the front panel of switch and router, there are LEDs supposed to be blinking. There should be login screen on every monitor displayed.
Problem 11
Offline Microsoft products like Teams, Skype, Skype for Business or Microsoft 365 don’t seem to work. Why is that?

Problem 12
Having odd issues with the task bar/random task bar freezing on Windows Server 2022?
Solution
First of all, export the registry path
HKLM\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\TIP\TestResults\27641370
and look at the file size. If it's around 40MB or more in size, then you have the same issue.
To resolve the issue, delete the key mentioned above and disable the TabletInputService service (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service). Afterwards, take ownership of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ink\TabTip32.exe
and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
and rename both executables into TabTip32.exe.orig and TabTip.exe.orig.
After that, reboot your server.

Problem 13
While using some video conference web applications, I don’t seem to know what webcam to choose if there are more of them connected to NEXI GO system. Why is that?
Solution
In general, isolation of the webcams in NEXI GO system is still ‘work in progress’ and once it’s finished and sucessfully tested, it will be announced and delivered as part of solution.
Problem 14
Some very high graphics power demanding applications don’t seem to work correctly on NEXI GO system. What can be the cause?
Solution
There are two systems available at the moment - NEXI GO (mostly suitable for standard office applications) and NEXI GO Performance (suitable for Autodesk, YouTube, Google Earth, GeoGebra, Tinkercad, etc...). Some applications, designed mostly for the final video cut or detailed rendering process are not suitable to be used on these systems.
Problem 15
Once the system has been joined to the domain, some calls or actions seem to be slowed down or don’t seem to work at all. How shall we proceed?
Solution
Having the integration scenario, when NEXI system joins customer’s domain, local domain administrator should be contacted. NEXI systems have been tested in local domain, functionality in cloud and/or hybrid domains is not guaranteed.
Problem 16
What should I do if the system has no internet/network connection?
Solution
Even though all virtual desktop devices and server cabling and ethernet components seem to be correctly connected, there is generally no internet or connection.
Antivirus can also block the connection to the server. For example, if you have Eset Endpoint Security installed, you need to set a learning mode in the firewall settings. Make sure the server and virtual desktop devices are on the same subnet, by default IP addresses start with 192.168.X.Y, where X must match.
Problem 17
Online version of the Microsoft 365 office suite doesn’t seem to work correctly in NEXI GO. Why?
Solution
We recommend use of offline version of Microsoft 365. We're troubleshooting this issue and working on possible solution for this scenario.
Problem 18
Is it possible to back up Windows server in order to preserve system, applications and data?
Solution
Yes, one of the options is to open Administrative Tools and run Windows server Backup tool. It’s possible to create local backup - back up important files, applications or entire server on locally attached device or a network share. There is also online backup option - back up server to Azure
Administrator only
Problem 19
The TermServLicensing service (i.e. RDS Licensing in Server Manager) cannot be started.
