Managing Remote Desktop and
Application Connections 3
Use Horizon Client to connect to Connection Server or a security server and log in to or off of a remote
desktop, and use remote applications. For troubleshooting purposes, you can also reset remote desktops and
applications.
Depending on how the administrator configures policies for remote desktops, end users might be able to
perform many operations on their desktops.
