AirWatch delivers Horizon Client to the mobile devices in the user group that you associated with the
Horizon Client application.
When a user launches Horizon Client, Horizon Client communicates with the AirWatch MDM Agent on the
device. If you configured a default list of Connection Server instances, AirWatch pushes the server
information to the AirWatch MDM Agent on the device and shortcuts for those servers appear in
Horizon Client.
What to do next
You can use the AirWatch console to edit the Horizon Client application and push those changes to mobile
devices. For example, you can add a default Connection Server instance to the server list for the
Horizon Client application.
