I’m also going to skip installing the certificate in this example. In that case you may have four or more Connection and Security Servers. In this case I’m only installing one, but the design will depend on your environment and whether you’d like to let people login from outside your network. You may run into some trouble if you have UAC controls turned on.Īfter composer is installed you can download and install the View Connection Server. Once that’s created we can install Composer. We’ll also need to create a composer database using SQL Server Management Studio (or whichever database management utility you’re using). For more information on linked clones see this article. The Premier Edition is necessary if you’d like to have linked clones.

All of the downloads necessary for installing Horizon View will be available there. We’ll first download the View Composer on vCenter (or another Windows server) and click on ‘Go to Downloads’ for VMware Horizon View 5.2.0 Premier Edition. For complete installation instructions please go here. In this article I’ll go through a high level install of Horizon View 5.2 along with the necessary installations to make HTML access possible from any mobile device.

This includes Horizon Workspace, Horizon Data, Horizon Mobile, and of course Horizon View.Īlthough Horizon View 5.2 was not a major release there are some significant changes and features that make it an even more attractive virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) product. Recently VMware rebranded their end user computing (EUC) products all under the Horizon umbrella.
