Restart a Remote Desktop
You might need to restart a remote desktop if the desktop operating system stops responding. Restarting a
remote desktop is the equivalent of the Windows operating system restart command. The desktop operating
system usually prompts you to save any unsaved data before it restarts.
You can restart a remote desktop only if a Horizon administrator has enabled the desktop restart feature for
the desktop.
For information about enabling the desktop restart feature, see the Seing Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 or
Seing Up Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon 7 document.

Desktop or Application,” on page 27.
Procedure
1 Tap Servers (cloud icon) at the boom of the screen and tap the server icon to connect to the server.
2 If prompted, supply your RSA user name and passcode, your Active Directory user name and
password, or both.

Restart is available only if the status of the desktop is such that the action can be taken.
