Disconnecting from a Desktop
You can disconnect from a remote desktop without logging off, so that applications remain open on the
remote desktop.
When you are logged in to the remote desktop and are not using full screen mode, you can disconnect by
tapping the Menu button in the upper-right corner of the screen and selecting Disconnect. If you are using
full screen mode, you can disconnect by tapping the Horizon View Client Tools icon and tapping the
Disconnect icon. After you disconnect from a desktop, the Recent Connections screen appears. For pictures
of the icons, see “Horizon View Client Tools,” on page 33.
NOTE A View administrator can configure your desktop to automatically log off when disconnected. In that
case, any open programs in your desktop are stopped.
Log Off from a Desktop
You can log off from a remote desktop operating system, even if you do not have a desktop open in
Horizon View Client.
If you are currently connected to and logged in to a remote desktop, you can use the Windows Start menu
to log off. After Windows logs you off, the desktop is disconnected and the Recent Connections screen
appears.
NOTE Any unsaved files that are open on the remote desktop are closed during the logoff operation.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain the credentials that you need to log in, such as Active Directory user name and password, RSA
SecurID user name and passcode, or RADIUS authentication user name and passcode.
n
If you have not logged in at least once, become familiar with the procedure “Log In to a Remote
Desktop for the First Time,” on page 21.
