restrictions.
Table 4‑3. Requirements for Specific Features
Feature Requirements
Location-based printing for Windows Server
2008 R2 desktops, RDS desktops (on virtual
machine RDS hosts), and remote applications
Horizon 6.0.1 with View and later servers.
Smart cards for RDS desktops View Agent 6.1 and later or Horizon Agent 7.0 and later.
Real-Time Audio-Video (audio-in only) See “System Requirements for Real-Time Audio-Video,” on page 9.
Client drive redirection View Agent 6.1.1 and later or Horizon Agent 7.0 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 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 Horizon Agent"
topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation. See the "Supported Operating Systems for
Horizon Agent" topic in the Horizon 7 installation documentation.
