Administration

Creating ThinApp templates is optional.
Note If you add an application to a ThinApp template after assigning the template to a machine
or desktop pool, Horizon Administrator does not automatically assign the new application to
the machine or desktop pool. If you remove an application from a ThinApp template that was
previously assigned to a machine or desktop pool, the application remains assigned to the
machine or desktop pool.
Prerequisites
Add selected ThinApp applications to Horizon Administrator.
Procedure
1 In Horizon Administrator, select Catalog > ThinApps and click New Template.
2 Type a name for the template and click Add.
All of the available ThinApp applications appear in the table.
3 To find a particular ThinApp application, type the name of the application in the Find text box
and click
Find.
4 Select the ThinApp applications that you want to include in the template and click Add.
You can press Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple applications.
5 Click OK to save the template.
Assigning ThinApp Applications to Machines and Desktop
Pools
To install a ThinApp application on a remote desktop, you use Horizon Administrator to assign the
ThinApp application to a machine or desktop pool.
When you assign a ThinApp application to a machine, Horizon Administrator begins installing the
application on the virtual machine a few minutes later. When you assign a ThinApp application to a
desktop pool, Horizon Administrator begins installing the application the first time a user logs in to
a remote desktop in the pool.
Streaming
Horizon Administrator installs a shortcut to the ThinApp application on the remote desktop.
The shortcut points to the ThinApp application on the network share that hosts the repository.
Users must have access to the network share to run streamed ThinApp applications.
Full
Horizon Administrator installs the full ThinApp application on the local file system.
