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. Windows Server 2016 desktops require Horizon Agent 7.0.2
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 Connection Server 6.1.
For descriptions of these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning document.
Feature Support for Published 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.x and later.
