An administrator has been tasked by their organization with determining the type of VMware Horizon deployment to use.
These requirements have been provided to the administrator:
Implement quickly the deployment of Windows and Linux desktops.
Provide centralized brokering.
Ensure the environment is secure from end-to-end.
Which deployment solution meets the requirements?
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.
Adobe Acrobat 11 has been assigned to a user. VM25 already has Adobe Acrobat 11 and is natively installed.
What happens when the user logs on to VM25?
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.
A VMware Horizon administrator is tasked with deployment of a desktop pool, which should fulfill these requirements:
End-users should always get the same desktop VM.
Backups with the existing VMware image-based backup tool should be supported.
Desktop VMs will be cloned on a weekly basis per vSphere API.
Which desktop solution can accomplish this requirement?
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.
An organization wants to prohibit certain users from saving any type of data from their virtual desktops to client devices after business hours. After business hours are 5PM till 9AM.
How can this be achieved?
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.
An administrator recently deployed a Horizon pod with external access using Unified Access Gateway (UAG). While trying to launch VDI from an External network, VDI launches with a black screen and then disconnects. The administrator has validated the port requirement and all other required ports are open.
Users are able to connect internally using the connection server URL. While reviewing the UAG logs, the administrator found that the Blast connection is hitting the Connection Server instead of VDI IP.
What should the administrator do to resolve the issue?
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.
