Chapter 9. Delivering Session-Based Desktops with Horizon View
Following on from the previous chapter, where we configured Horizon View to deliver hosted applications using a Microsoft RDSH environment, in this chapter, we will cover the other half of View's hosting functionality and take a look at the ability of View to deliver session-based desktops, again, using a Microsoft RDSH host server. The key advantage of this feature is that you don't need to deploy a full VDI-based desktop to an end user, they just use a session from the host.
As with the hosted applications feature we covered in Chapter 8, Delivering Remote Applications with View Hosted Apps, the desktop sessions will be delivered to the end user's device using the Horizon View Client. We will cover the installation of the RDSH role and the configuration of the desktop sessions.
