where to install view persona management

[bickyz]

Hi
We have esx server with view security server, view connection server, vcenter server and few desktop pools. Where do I install persona management ? We are using view 6.

And also within the C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles folder there isnt any group policy templates; is this normal or I need to install something ?

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

View Persona is installed as an option on the agent inside of the VM.    You will also need a profile repository and then enable persona via a GPO applied to the virtual desktops where you want to use persona.

thank you

On my all Windows 7 vdi desktops I can see VMware Horizon View Agent 6.0.0.1884979 listed under Control Panel Program Features; how will I know Persona Management option has been selected when installing the agent. Is there anyway I can check via C:\Program Files or via Registry.

You can check and see if there is a VMware View Horizon Persona service on the desktops.

thank you.

yes the desktops has "VMware Horizon View Persona Management" service; but it is disabled; is this normal ?

I have asked the person who created the master image and he said he didnt disabled this service.
