Location-based printing for Windows Server 2008 R2
desktops, RDS desktops (on virtual machine RDS hosts),
and remote applications
Horizon Client 3.1 and later and Horizon 6.0.1 with View
and later servers.
Smart cards for RDS desktops Horizon Client 3.4 and later and View Agent 6.1 and later.
NOTE You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to View Connection Server 6.0 or later. For
information about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host,
which provides remote applications and session-based desktops, see "Supported Operating Systems for
View Agent" topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation.
External Keyboards and Input Devices
Horizon Client supports iPad Keyboard Dock and Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth).
The iPad Keyboard Dock external keyboard is automatically detected by Horizon Client. To use the Apple
Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) with a remote desktop, you must first pair the device with the iOS device.
After you pair the keyboard with the iPad, make sure that you do not have the onscreen keyboard in split
keyboard mode when you attempt to make the iPad detect the Bluetooth keyboard. To make the client
device detect the wireless keyboard, either tap the screen with three fingers at the same time or tap the
Keyboard button in the Horizon Client interface tools.
Also with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth), after the external keyboard is detected, you cannot use
the Horizon Client interface tools or three-finger tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You must first
deactivate the external keyboard by pressing its Eject key.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard does not input the Japanese full-width tilde correctly in remote desktops.
International Keyboards
You can input characters for English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
and Korean.
VMware recommends that you use an English keyboard on your iOS device with a remote desktop that uses
a Korean or Japanese input method editor (IME). If you use a Korean or Japanese keyboard on your iOS
device and you connect to a remote desktop that uses a Korean or Japanese IME, the remote desktop
Windows IME English/Korean or English/Japanese mode is not synchronized with the iOS keyboard locale.
