Application Virtualization with ThinApp in VMware View

[Hojjat]

Hi everyone,

I want to implement an app virtualization with VMware View and Thinapp.

I have installed VMware View and Thinapp and publish an application to one desktop. Now user can connect to this desktop

and run virtualized application.

But I dont want this. I want that when user login to View Client he can see only list of  virtualized applications not the desktop.

Similar to Citrix XenApp he must only view applications and he can select one of them and run it from server.

How can I implement it with VMware View and Thinapp ? Can I?

Thanks to all,

Then you should not use VDI. In Horizon 6 we support published applications from a RDS Host. That will like you requested only show the apps and not desktop.

Thanks for replying,

I have VMware Horizon View 5.2. Does it have RDS host feature or not?

Sorry no.. RDS published apps was first introduced in Horizon 6 (which is View 6).

Also suggest taking a look at Horizon Workspace. Workspace will give you the portal functionality and provide a way to have multiple types of apps & desktops displayed to the user based on permissions. The latest version, 6, support App Remoting which is most similar to XenApp.
