VMware Horizon On-Premises meets the requirements of implementing quickly the deployment of Windows and Linux desktops, providing centralized brokering, and ensuring a secure environment from end-to-end. It is a robust solution that supports both Windows and Linux and can be securely managed on-premises, fulfilling all the specified needs.
When a user logs on to VM25, the App Volume package does not get attached because the natively installed Adobe Acrobat 11 takes priority. This is a common behavior to prevent conflicts and ensure efficient integration with the operating system and other applications on the virtual machine. Since the application is already present on VM25, there is no need to attach the App Volume package.
To fulfill the requirement that end-users should always get the same desktop VM, an automated desktop pool based on dedicated machines is necessary. Full Clone Virtual Machines are more suitable for scenarios where backups and cloning via the vSphere API are required, as they maintain independence after being cloned. Therefore, an Automated Desktop Pool based on Dedicated Full Clone Virtual Machines is the correct solution.
To prohibit certain users from saving data from their virtual desktops to client devices after business hours, one can use settings in Dynamic Environment Manager Horizon Smart Policy and set Conditions. This approach allows administrators to create policies that apply based on specific conditions, such as time of day, ensuring that the restriction is only active from 5 PM till 9 AM.
The issue stems from the Blast connection hitting the Connection Server instead of the VDI IP, which results in a black screen and disconnection. To resolve this, the administrator needs to disable the Tunnel and Gateways in the Horizon Connection Server. By doing this, it ensures that the Blast traffic is correctly directed to the VDI rather than being proxied by the Connection Server.
