Hello

I want to do a Quick test with VMWARE View - only Direct Connection.

There is a Article based on 5.x wich show a Installation for Agent only (no Connection Server: Using View Agent Direct-Connection in VMware Horizon View 5.3 | VMware End-User Computing Blog - VMw...

But with View Agent 6.1  i allways get asked for a Connection Server IP so im not able to install Agent and then direct Connection Plugin for Agent.

Can anyone help me or show me a way to do installation.

Hi,

On that OS did you install the View Agent? I believe it was Windows Server 2008/2012.

You should try to install the agent on a VM with Windows 7/8

I thought its possible to use agent and plugin standallone !?

Did you try to install with the parameter "Skip broker registration"?

Something like this: VMware-viewagent-x86_64-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /v "VDM_SKIP_BROKER_REGISTRATION=1"

View Agent Direct Connection (VADC) is for situations where there is no Connection Server. If you have a Horizon View deployment with Connection Servers, you usually do not need VADC.  See My VADC Blog
