It's a gray area if that file server is also supporting other servers or desktops.</P><P></P><P>Always check with your VMware account team and internal legal to verify you are in compliance. Depending on your use case you might be able to just get a written exception from VMware.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 22:02:32 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Horizon-Desktops-and-Apps/Placing-file-server-Windows-on-Horizon-resources/m-p/444024#M76890 BenFB 2019-06-03T22:02:32Z
