These include permissions to create and delete computer objects, and to write properties in the domain or in the OUs organizational units that you select when creating desktop pools or server farms in later exercises. Tip : In a test environment, you could use an account that is a member of the Domain Administrators group, which has all the required privileges.
You are returned to the Instant-Clone Engine Domain Accounts page, and the user account you just added appears in the list. In this exercise, you create an Events database to log Horizon events to a SQL Server instance, making the event data available to analytics software. The Events database is not required for every Horizon environment. With single-user desktops, each virtual machine allows a single end-user connection at a time.
In contrast, with session-based desktops, one RDSH server can accommodate many concurrent user connections. In this chapter, you will create an instant-clone single-user desktop pool. In a later chapter of this tutorial, you will complete an exercise for creating an RDSH server farm and a published application pool.
Besides Windows-based desktops, you can create Linux-based desktops. VMware instant-clone provisioning improves on and accelerates the process of creating cloned VMs over the previous Horizon Composer linked-clone technology. In addition, instant clones require less storage and less expense to manage and update because the desktop is deleted when the user logs out, and a new desktop is created using the latest golden image.
Publishing the golden image can take from 7 to 40 minutes, depending on the type of storage you are using. Provisioning the VMs takes only 1 or 2 seconds per VM. You can perform these tasks at separate times, so that the provisioning process occurs either at a scheduled time or immediately after the publishing process is complete.
The Add Desktop Pool wizard or the Add Farm wizard in the Horizon Console guides you through the process of publishing the golden image.
Completing the wizard for instant clones is similar to adding any type of pool or farm. Important : If your session in the Horizon Console is idle for more than a few minutes, you might be automatically logged out, and if you are in the middle of creating a desktop pool, your changes will be lost.
When the instant clone is finished being created, if you scroll up to the General section, the Machines field shows 1. Note : The Summary tab is shown in this screenshot. To see details of the particular instant clone you just created, click the Machines tab or the Machines Instant-Clone Details tab, and for even more details, click the machine name in the list.
To manage OS patches and software updates with instant clones, you use the push-image operation. Because the provisioning of instant clones takes so little time, it is not necessary to plan for maintenance windows.
When a user logs out of their desktop, the desktop is deleted and recreated. This approach to desktop deletion and recreation staggers the patching operation across desktops, eliminates boot storms, reduces storage IOPS, and creates less of a load on the vCenter Server. Delivering published applications and desktops is a very simple process:. The exercises that follow walk you through creating an instant-clone server farm and publishing applications. On client devices, a published application looks and behaves like it would if it were a locally installed application, providing seamless integration into the user experience of the client operating system.
For example, on Windows client devices, the application icon for the published application appears in the taskbar just as it would for a locally installed application. With Horizon, you can also publish applications that are hosted on virtual desktops, such as a Windows 10 desktop pool.
This feature is especially important if you want to publish applications that are certified only on Windows 10 or that require drivers that are not supported on RDSH servers. A farm can contain from 1 to RDSH servers. For the exercises in this guide, you create an automated farm of RDSH servers, which is similar to creating an automated pool of instant-clone desktops. To see details of the particular instant clone you just created, click the RDS Hosts tab.
After applications are published, end users launch Horizon Client, or the HTML Access web client, to access a catalog of published applications. Selecting an application from the catalog opens a window for that application on the local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
For example, on a Windows client computer, an item for the application appears in the taskbar and looks identical to the way it would look if it were installed on the local Windows computer. Users can also create shortcuts for published applications, and the shortcuts appear on the client desktop, just like shortcuts for locally installed applications.
To publish applications, administrators create an application pool. Horizon automatically enumerates the installed applications on the RDSH servers. Administrators can select which of the applications to deploy and entitle users to. Although it is possible to actually create the RDSH server farm as part of using the Add Pool wizard, the steps in this exercise direct you to select an existing server farm.
We used the default settings in most cases. When you use automated instant-clone RDSH server farms, you can rapidly change the size of the farm, refresh the servers back to their original state and disk size, or update the servers to use a new golden image.
Performing maintenance on an instant-clone farm means deleting the VMs in the farm and either recreating them from the current golden image or creating VMs from a new golden image, or snapshot. Performing maintenance on a server farm is beyond the scope of this quick-start guide. The second part of this chapter shows you how to connect to a virtual desktop or published application as an end user would.
You can entitle users to an application pool or desktop pool either at the time you create the pool or after the pool is created. It is also possible to set up the system so that end users can access RDSH application pools without having to authenticate at all. Note : For this exercise, you create local entitlements, which entitle users to desktops within one Horizon pod. A pod is a group of interconnected Connection Servers running in the same LAN segment that broker desktops or published applications.
For information about using the Cloud Pod Architecture feature to create global entitlements, which entitle users to multiple desktops across multiple pods in a pod federation, see the guide Administering Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon. Before you can entitle users, you must have created a desktop or application pool. Entitling users means specifying which users and groups are allowed to access the desktop or application. For this exercise, you create user entitlements after the pool is created.
On the VMware Horizon web portal page that appears, you can click either the icon that takes you to the Horizon Clients download page or the icon for logging in using the HTML Access web client. This exercise showed you how to use Horizon Client on a desktop or laptop computer. You can also use Horizon Client on a tablet or phone.
You can connect to virtual desktops and published applications from an HTML5-enabled web browser. This exercise described using the HTML Access web client, which does not require installing any software on the client device. You then created an automated desktop pool and an automated RDSH server farm.
With one simple wizard, you created multiple application pools. Next, you entitled end users to applications and desktops. In addition, this guide provided an overview of features, architecture, and components. Finally, you enjoyed the end-user experience of launching desktops and published applications from the Windows-based Horizon Client and the web-based HTML Access client. Because this guide is meant to get you started quickly, it does not delve into details of all the options and features that provide a rich user experience:.

Advantages of Using VMware Horizon VMware Horizon is a centralized desktop virtualization solution that enables organizations to deliver virtualized desktop services and applications to employees as a managed service. As an IT administrator, you can use Horizon to simplify and automate the management of desktops and applications, and you can securely deliver desktops as a service to users from the data center or cloud.
Packaging and Licensing Horizon is available as a perpetual entitlement or as a subscription service. Features Horizon offers many features that help IT efficiently deploy and scale full-featured, personalized digital workspaces from a single control plane with rapid provisioning, automation, and simplified management.
Components and Architecture Horizon contains key components and integrated products that work together. Sketch of the Quick-Start Steps After completing the exercises in this guide, you will have a small Horizon environment with several published applications and a virtual desktop pool. Figure 3: Workflow for Creating Virtual Desktops and Published Apps with Horizon Install — You begin by installing the server software Horizon Connection Server that manages sessions between users and their virtual desktops and published apps and that enables automation of desktop and RDSH server creation.
Besides configuring the operating system on these VMs, you will install the agent software Horizon Agent that communicates with the Horizon servers and the clients. Configure — Once these Horizon infrastructure elements are set up, delivering apps and desktops is very simple. For virtual desktops, you will use the Horizon Console to create a desktop pool from the golden image, which automatically clones the number of desktops you specify.
Configure — For published applications: Use the Horizon Console to create an RDSH server farm from the golden image, which automatically clones the number of servers you specify. Publish one or multiple application pools with one trip through the Add Application Pool wizard. Configure — After the desktop and application pools are ready, use the Horizon Console to entitle users or groups to the apps and desktops.
