VMware Horizon 7 Installation Deployment

I. Introduction to Horizon View 7 (excerpt)

With Horizon,IT departments can deploy virtualized environments in the data center and deliver those environments to employees. End users get a familiar, personalized environment and can access it from anywhere in the enterprise or home network. With desktop data all in the data center, administrators can manage centrally, while improving efficiency, security, and cost reduction (users can access a virtual desktop environment using a backward PC or thin client).

The VMware Horizon 7 Virtual Desktop Deployment consists of several components:

• Client devices

• Horizon Client

• Horizon Agent

• Horizon Connection Server

• Horizon Composer

• Horizon ThinApp

1. Client Devices

One big advantage of Horizon is that users can access the desktop from any device, anywhere. Users can access personalized virtual desktops through the company's laptops, home PCs, thin client devices,Macs , or tablets. In a PC , users can display the Horizon desktop as soon as they open horizonclient . Thin clients with thin client software, administrators can configure the Horizon client to become the only application that users can launch directly on thin clients. Using a traditional PC as a thin client can prolong your hardware life.

2. Horizon Client

Horizon offers multi-platform clients, including Windows,MAC OS,Linux, and thin client platforms. Allows users to access virtual desktops through a variety of hardware.

3. Horizon Agent

It needs to be installed on the Remote Desktop source virtual machine,RDS server, and horizonclient connection to provide the user with connection monitoring, virtual printing USB mapping and other functions.

4. Horizon Connection Server

The service acts as a connection point for the client, andHorizon Connection server provides authentication to the user through windowsactive Directory and directs the request to the appropriate virtual machine, or server. horizonconnection Server also provides the following management features

• User authentication

• Authorized users to access specific desktops and pools

• will pass Horizon ThinApp packaged applications are assigned to specific desktops and pools

• Managing local and Remote Desktop sessions

5. Horizon Composer

The service can be installed on a Windows version of a vCenter instance or on a separate server (virtual machine). Horizon Composer can then create a linked clone pool from the specified parent virtual machine. This approach saves up to 90% of storage costs.

6.Horizon ThinApp

The service can encapsulate the application in a virtualized sandbox. With this approach, you can deploy applications flexibly, with multiple simultaneous use, without conflict.

Ii. Pre-preparation for the installation of VMware Horizon 7

1. Vsphere Environment (including Vcenter, ESXI, Datastore)

2. Ad Domain Control Environment (including DC, DNS, DHCP, Ca,sql)

　　Vmwarehorizon You must use a domain to provide users with unified accounts and validation support.

3. Horizon Server Preparation (includes Connection Server,Composer, template virtual machine, Client)

Horizon users and groups

　　Horizon No modification required AD but it is recommended that the user AD To create a part of Horizon of the OU and user groups, creating OU is designed to facilitate the application of various domain policies.

Create a Horizon organizational unit, under which you create the Horizon Users, horizion Computers organizational unit. For storing virtual desktop virtual machines and users and groups, and for creating Horizon_view_group groups for users who connect to virtual desktops.

5. Horizon Server Certificate Preparation

Certificates are issued for connection server and composer so that you can use the CA certificate directly after you deploy the view, without replacing the self-signed certificate.
