Remember, Google is your friend and don’t be afraid to steal with pride! Feel free to comment below as needed.Today, VMware announced the Q4 release of Horizon, version 7.0.3. It is not guaranteed to work everywhere, but is meant as a tip for other users out there. I wonder, when and if, the Windows 10 multi user platform is released for on prem usage in VDI environments, not only Azure, if that will make the need for RDSH obsolete all together?ĭisclaimer: Every tips/tricks/posting I have published here, is tried and tested in different it-solutions. With the new functionality in Horizon 7.9, publishing applications from Windows 10 based desktop pools are a new and very handy functionality. This concludes this session about Windows 10 based application pools. Next, I associate icons to the application poolsįinally I test the applications from the Horizon Client, works great! I rename the shortcuts, as I did with Paint above, Submit… With the AppStack now attached, I can now select Firefox and Google Chrome from the list of “installed Applications”, Next… Once the desktops are up and running again, I should now be able to create new application pools using the attached appstack, “Add from Installed Applications”… The running desktops will have to be restarted in order to get the appstack attached. In App Volumes Manager, I select the AppStack and click “Assign”… This appstack consist of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox In this exercise I will assign the AppStack I created during my App Volumes sessions, InternetBrowsers, to my VDI OU. The first thing I do is assign an AppStack to the OU where my instant clones’ computer accounts are created. Is it supported, don’t know, but will test this here. But, would it be possible to use this same approach to publish an AppStack to the users’ Horizon Client? In theory, I can assign the AppStack to the Organizational Unit the desktops are placed in, and create application pools based on the attached AppStack. In order to differentiate this application pool for the users, I will rename shortcut to «Paint Windows 10». When I test with Horizon Client, the new Application Pool is available with the specified icon. The icon-change is immediate in Horizon Administrator. Next, I will associate an Application Icon, this I have already downloaded as a png-file. My new Application Pool, Paint, is now available. I choose to entitle this Application Pool to my ViewUsers-group, OK… I select a Desktop Pool and an application, in this case «Paint», Next… I select «Add from Installed Applications» I can now create an application pool from this desktop pool. I change the session type to «Desktop & Application», OK… In order to allow application-pool creation from a Windows 10 based desktop pool, we first have to enable this functionality in «newadmin» on an existing Desktop Pool. We can also publish Windows 10 UWP applications to the Horizon Client. If the application works on Windows 10, we can publish it. On the other hand, problems with applications not compatible with RDSH operating system, driver issues and so forth, are gone. If a user starts an application from a Windows 10 based application pool, this user will also consume this desktop-session, even if the user is not connected to the virtual desktop. There is a 1-1 mapping for the users and desktops. This feature is not a multi-session alternative, as of yet. A very nice new feature, but does this means we no longer need RDSH, NO. 7.9, we now have the ability to set up Application Pools based on Windows 10 Desktop pools.
