Next, we will select an authorized user to manage the Horizon platform. Fortunately, The installation wizard offers to configure these rules automatically Therefore, a set of Firewall ports need to be opened properly. To work properly, VMware Horizon needs to establish communication with different other servers, such as domain controller, vCenter, etc. Make sure the option for ‘Install HTML Access’ is checked. Also, I will select ipv4, as I don’t have any ipv6 set up. This is the first and only server in my VDI infrastructure. On next step, I will go with the first option ‘Standard Server’. Select the installation folder and click ‘Next’ The wizard opens upĪccept the license agreements and click ‘Next’ An account is required to download a trial. Let’s connect to our Server! The first thing we need to do is to download the VMware Horizon connection server package from VMware’s official website. Note: The Server where the VMware Horizon’s installation is performed CANNOT be a domain controller. Other requirements and useful information about VMware Horizon can be found on VMware’s official websiteįor this scenario, I will use the following components:ġ VMware vSphere (vCenter Server Appliance 6.7)ġ Windows Server 2012 R2 (Domain Controller, DNS, Certificate Authority)ġ Domain Joined Windows Server 2012 R2 (Where VMware Horizon will be installed) If you are using vSphere, you must use a supported version of vSphere ESX/ESXi hosts and vCenter Server.įor details about which versions of Horizon are compatible with which versions of vCenter Server and ESXi, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix at Horizon Connection Server requires certain versions of VMware virtualization software. Virtualization Software Requirements for Horizon Connection Server The following operating systems support all Horizon Connection Server installation types, including standard, replica, and security server installations. You must install Horizon Connection Server on a supported Windows Server operating system. You must install all Horizon Connection Server installation types, including standard, replica, security server, and enrollment server installations, on a dedicated physical or virtual machine that meets specific hardware requirements. The tool we are going to learn is designed by VMware Inc. There are three main vendors offering VDI technology: Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft through Remote Desktop Services.
VDI is a technology that uses the virtualization feature to create a virtual application / desktop images in a centralized server(s), and make them accessible to end users using a software client or HTML web-based access. Introduction to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
