Windows 10 desktops require View Agent 6.2 or later or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later. Windows Server 2012
R2 desktops require View Agent 6.1 or later or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later.
IMPORTANT View Agent 6.1 and later and Horizon Agent 7.0 and later releases do not support Windows XP
and Windows Vista desktops. View Agent 6.0.2 is the last View release that supports these guest operating
systems. Customers who have an extended support agreement with Microsoft for Windows XP and Vista,
and an extended support agreement with VMware for these guest operating systems, can deploy the View
Agent 6.0.2 version of their Windows XP and Vista desktops with View Connection Server 6.1.
For descriptions of these features, see the View Planning document.
Feature Support for Session-Based Desktops on RDS Hosts
RDS hosts are server computers that have Windows Remote Desktop Services and View Agent or
Horizon Agent installed. Multiple users can have desktop sessions on an RDS host simultaneously. An RDS
host can be either a physical machine or a virtual machine.
NOTE The following table contains rows only for the features that are supported. Where the text specifies a
minimum version of View Agent, the text "and later" is meant to include Horizon Agent 7.0 and later.
