Implementing VMware Horizon 7.7 - Third Edition

By: Jason Ventresco

Overview of this book

This third edition of Implementing VMware Horizon 7.7 has been updated to get you up to speed with VMware Horizon 7.7 by showing you how to use its key features and deploying an end-user computing infrastructure for your own organization. The book begins by guiding you on how to deploy all the core requirements for a VMware Horizon infrastructure. It then moves on to show you how to provision and administer end-user computing resources using VMware Horizon. You’ll not only be able to deploy the core VMware Horizon features, but you’ll also be able to implement new features, such as the Just-in-Time Management Platform (JMP) and the Horizon Console. You’ll also focus on the latest features and components of the Horizon platform and learn when and how they are used. By the end of the book, you will have developed a solid understanding of how your organization can benefit from the capabilities VMware Horizon offers and how each of its components is implemented.

Horizon Security Server additional considerations

The following are additional considerations that should be kept in mind when deploying a Horizon Security Server:

  • If you require Windows IPsec encryption to be applied to the network traffic between the Horizon Security Server and the Horizon Connection Server, the Windows firewall service must be enabled for both hosts in order for Horizon to create the required Windows IPsec policies. The firewall service is enabled by default; if it was disabled, visit the Microsoft TechNet article Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Overview (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831365.aspx) for information about how to manage the feature. It is recommended to enable the firewall service prior to the installation of any Horizon software component, as the installer will then automatically configure the appropriate settings.
