Install Horizon Client From the Command Line
You can install Horizon Client from the command line by typing the installer lename and specifying
installation commands and properties. You can install Horizon Client silently from the command line.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the client system uses a supported operating system. See “System Requirements for
Windows Clients,” on page 10.
n
Verify that you can log in as an administrator on the client system.
n
Verify that the domain controllers have the latest patches, enough free disk space, and can communicate
with each other. Otherwise, when you run the installer on a Windows 8.1 system, the installer can take
an unusual amount of time to nish. This problem occurs if the machine's domain controller, or another
domain controller in its hierarchy, is unresponsive or unreachable.
n
If you plan to install Horizon Client with FIPS-compliant cryptography, enable FIPS mode in the client
operating system before you run the Horizon Client installer. See “Enabling FIPS Mode in the Windows
Client Operating System,” on page 25.
n
Decide whether to use the feature that allows end users to log in to Horizon Client and their remote
desktop as the currently logged in user. Credential information that the user entered when logging in to
the client system is passed to the Connection Server instance and ultimately to the remote desktop.
Some client operating systems do not support this feature.
n
Become familiar with the Horizon Client installation commands. See “Installation Commands for
Horizon Client,” on page 27.
n
Become familiar with the Horizon Client installation properties. See “Installation Properties for Horizon
Client,” on page 28.
n
Determine whether to allow end users to access locally connected USB devices from their remote
desktops. If not, set the ADDLOCAL installation property to the list of features and omit the USB feature.
For more information, see “Installation Properties for Horizon Client,” on page 28.
n
If you do not want to require end users to supply the fully qualied domain name (FQDN) of the
Connection Server instance, determine the FQDN so that you can supply it during installation.
