Horizon 7 kiosk mode? Or another way?

[geauxgetter]

I have a customer that is a library. They are interested in VDI. Their current authentication piece is complex as it uses a 3rd party software that replaces the default Windows login and integrates into active directory. Patron's are able to login to windows via their library card number/password

In order for me to make this work for them, I need to be able to have the physical PC's launch the horizon client on boot up and connect to a desktop pool without actually logging that person in to windows on the VDI session. The idea is that horizion will connect to a desktop and the 3rd party login will be displayed ready for the patron to enter their ID and Password.

Does anyone know how that can be accomplished?

You can create kiosk mode to connect to the MAC address in your Library computers; this will be the host name and have VMWare generate a password

An unattended kiosk login is your best way.

We do this now with bat files to have it Auto Start. We are using AD and security groups to do this now.

You can make a .bat file in the Windows Startup folder to auto start and also put one on the desktop

Click here to lunch Windows 10 or 7 whatever u want to call it

vmware-view -unattended -serverURL put your server url here

sleep 15

start "Kiosk" "%~dpnx0"

exit

I also put in 15 second sleep so I don't d dos my connect server each section when the machines are trying to connect

another way

you create a pool which that allow same user login multiple logins

then in the desktop where users will connect to vdi you can make horizon run on start up and with group policy you can make auto login script so the physical desktop will boot open horizon client and login to virtual desktop
