Assigning ThinApp applications in Horizon View


In this recipe, we will review how to assign ThinApp packages in Horizon View desktops. Two options are covered: assigning individual ThinApp packages and creating templates that allow us to assign multiple ThinApp packages at a time.

Getting ready

To assign a ThinApp, we need two things: a Horizon View desktop pool and at least one ThinApp application registered with Horizon View using the techniques outlined in the previous recipe. Once these requirements are met, we can assign a ThinApp using the Horizon View Manager Admin console.

Note

ThinApp cannot place shortcuts on the desktop if that folder is being directed using folder redirection. If folder redirection is being used, the application shortcuts must be copied to the folder manually.

How to do it...

In this section, we will assign applications to a desktop pool. The same process is used to assign applications to an individual desktop, so only one example will be shown.
