Horizon Agent on standalone Client

[BBittner]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate a physical standalone client into the Horizon system.

After successfully installing the Agent in standalone non-vcenter mode, the Client is available in the Connection-Server.

At the moment I can connect to it via Horizon Client with RDP-Protocol, but not with Blast.

I also can't connect vie HTML-Webaccess and remote via UAG is also not working.

UAG I possibly get up and running by enabling tunnel-mode.

HTML-Access to RDP-Host seems to be unsupported.

Best would be to have Blast as connection protocol running, but I don't know why it is not working.

Are there any requirements for this, how can I fully integrate a standalone Client?

Which version of the Horizon agent are you running? You'll need at least 7.7 to use Blast with physical workstations.

See the changelog for Horizon 7.7 here: Release Notes for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.7

• Physical PCs and workstations with Windows 10 1803 Enterprise or higher can be brokered through Horizon 7 via Blast Extreme protocol.

Thanks for pointing this out!

I read the Release Notes, but somehow missed this line.

At the moment we are using 7.5.2 and the Client is a Win 7 Pro, so even newest version wouldn't help - Blast is out for the time being.

Does anybody know something about HTML access to RDP-Client?

[dolzhenkom · Accepted solution]

HTML access only supports the Blast protocol, even on the latest version of Horizon, 7.9. See here: System Requirements for HTML Access

Display protocol for Horizon

VMware Blast

When you use a Web browser to access a remote desktop, the VMware Blast protocol is used rather than PCoIP or Microsoft RDP. VMware Blast uses HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS).
