ordesktoppoolthatcontainsan
activecheckedoutsessionwheretheViewConnectionServerisabletocommunicate

Rolling Back a Desktop
Youcanalsoremoveclientaccesstotheirofflinedesktopbyrollingbacktheiroffline
session.Oncearollbackeventhasbeeninitiated,theofflineclient—ifitcanbe
contacted—isnotifiedthattheuserisnolongerallowedtologintotheircheckedout
desktop.
 Ifacheckedoutdesktopisrolledbackwhiletheuserisloggedin,thecurrent
sessionisterminatedassoonasViewClientwithOfflineDesktopreceives
notification.
 Iftheuserisnotloggedin,subsequentattemptstoconnectwillberedirectedtothe
onlinedesktop.
Inordertocontinueworkingoffline,theusermustnowcheckoutthedesktopfromthe
server.
Torollbackanofflinedesktopsession,selectthedesktopfromthelistprovidedinthe

orViewPortaldesktopbyright‐clickingontheofflinedesktopentryandclicking
Rollbackfromthecontextmenu.Onlytheuserwhocheckedout
thedesktopisallowed
todothis.
