Users connect to multiple desktop pools simultaneously

RTVNoord — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 14:17:06 GMT

Within our Horizon 8 (2206) environment, we have several different desktop pools. A group of users has access to multiple desktop pools. This is a desktop pool for the standard office environment and a desktop pool for video editing.

Now we see more and more that users, for all kinds of reasons, start both desktop pools. Something that is not desirable. The question is whether it is possible to allow users to log in to only 1 desktop pool at once.

Is there perhaps a setting within ADSI Edit for this?
Tips/solutions are welcome

Some users need to use multiple desktop simultaneously, so we don't have control to block this use case. You can raise a feature request if necessary.

If you use FSLogix for profile management, you can set a GPO to prevent access to multiple desktops at a time. But the use case of FSLogix is entirely different and the one I mentioned above is just a feature of it.

@agong Bit of a clumsy answer. There are also organizations where they do not want this. So it would be nice if there is a possibility (check mark) that you can turn this off. By the way, the feature request have been made.. so please all vote!

@Jubish-Jose No we don't use FSLogix, the only thing we do use is DEM. But I'm not sure if you could do the same there..
