VMware Horizon View 7: Add Microsoft RDS Farm [Part 4]

In part 4 of the series we will be adding a existing Microsoft Remote Desktop Services farm to Horizon View 7. This enables RDS application to be published out using Horizon View 7 taking advantage of the PCoIP protocol, View Management, and creates a single pane of glass to access applications and virtual desktops.

Install View Agent on Microsoft RDS – Session Host:

To add a RDS environment the View Agent needs to be installed. Login to your RDS Session Host and launch the View Agent installer:

Click Next:

To proceed the EULA needs to be accepted. Click Next:

Select your network protocol (IPv4) then click Next:

Click Next:

Enter your View Connection Server FQDN or IP address then click Next:

Create Application Pool:

The Application Pool allows you to add programs installed on the RDS farm to be published through View. There can only be one Application Pool per RDS Farm added to View and the application must be installed the exact same way on all RDS servers.

Drill down to Catalog -> Application Pools -> Add:

On the drop down menu ensure your RDS Farm is selected, now scroll through the list of installed applications and check the ones you want to be available for View then click Next:

On the Summary screen ensure you are happy with the application selections. Leave the check box checked that says Entitle users after this wizard finishes. Click Finish:

Entitlement is where you give users permission to the applications added to View. Click Add and select users\groups. Click Ok once finished:

We now have applications added to the Application Pool and gave permission to a user\group. Additional permissions can be changed by clicking the drop down menu labeled Entitlements:

Any application you have an Entitlement to should be listed. Double click on a application:
