In March 7, 2013, VMware released Horizon View 5.2 Feature Pack 1, which provides the following features and components: 1)
Remote Experience Agent
Installer-Using the Remote Experience Agent, you can install the Feature Pack component on the Horizon View desktop to optimize the Remote Desktop Experience provided by View Agent 5.2. In Feature Pack 1, the installer installs Unity Touch and HTML Access Agent on the Horizon View desktop. By default, after the installer is run, both components are installed. 2)
HTML Access Agent-You can use HTML Access to connect to a virtual desktop from a Web browser without installing the Horizon View Client software on the Client system. The HTML Access Agent runs on the Horizon View desktop. With this component, you can use HTML Access to connect to your desktop. You must install Remote Experience Agent and HTML Access Agent on the desktop that you want to Access through HTML Access. 3)
Unity Touch-Unity Touch can improve the desktop access experience of mobile client users. You do not need to operate a full desktop image on a small device screen. You can directly browse applications and documents from the local mobile user interface without having to view the desktop. The VMware Horizon View Client document for mobile devices provides a detailed description of terminal user functions provided by Unity Touch. 4)
HTML Access
Installer-This installer can configure the View connection server instance to allow users to select HTML Access to connect to the desktop. After you run the HTML Access installer, the View Portal displays the HTML Access icon in addition to the View Client icon. If you want to use HTML Access to connect to the desktop in the Horizon View deployment, you must run this installer. If you want to use Horizon Workspace and choose to connect to the desktop through HTML Access, you must also run this installer. In this article, we will experience the HTML access function, that is, replacing the original VMware View Client with a browser, and logging on to and accessing the virtual desktop. The experiment topology 1-1 is shown in this article. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image002 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image002 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/1944462392-0.jpg "height =" 333 "? 571? /> Figure 1-1 View topology consists of two ESXi hosts in Figure 1-1. The VMware vCenter Server, VMware View connection Server, and VMware View security Server are virtual machines, the entire network is protected by Forefront TMG 2010. Internet computers access VMware View virtual desktops protected by Forefront TMG. In the network, Active Directory, DHCP, and other computer virtual machines are not marked. In Figure 1-1, you need to configure the VMware View-related servers and virtual desktops. I will not introduce them too much in this article. I have not captured the images yet.) I will only introduce the main steps for HTML access. 1. Install vmware-horizon-view-html-access_x64-1.0.0-104920..exe on the viewconnection server. 2) log on and virtual desktop template virtual machine, for example, I am in a Windows 7 Template virtual machine, install VMware-Horizon-View-5.2-Remote-Experience-Agent-1.0-1046150.msiHTML access proxy ). After installation, shut down the Virtual Machine and create a snapshot. Then, use the VMware View management interface to regenerate the virtual machine. 3) in the View Security Server Virtual Machine, open TCP8443 in the firewall. 4) in Forefront TMG, map TCP 8443 to View security server. 5) log on to the virtual desktop published by Forefront TMG on the Internet computer. The following describes the main process of access using HTML. 1) log on to the VMware View site, as shown in figure 1-2. There are two options: the Client with the traditional VMware Horizon View Client on the left and the Client with HTML access on the right. Click this button on the right. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image004 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image004 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/19444624c-1.jpg "height =" 416 "? 571? /> Figure 1-2 VMware Horizon View site 2) enter the user name and password, as shown in figure 1-3. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image006 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image006 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/19444AW7-2.jpg "height =" 416 "? 571? /> Figure 1-3 authentication 3) load the list of available desktops, as shown in figure 1-4. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image008 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image008 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/19444A513-3.jpg "height =" 416 "? 571? /> Figure 1-4 available desktop list 4) log on to the Windows 7 virtual desktop, as shown in figure 1-5. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image010 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image010 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/19444624Q-4.jpg "height =" 416 "? 571? /> Figure 1-5 log on to the virtual desktop 5) view the connection information, as shown in figure 1-6. 650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image012 "style =" border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image012 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/1944461048-5.jpg "height =" 416 "? 571? /> Figure 1-6 view the connection information
