Procedure
u
Select a remote desktop or application from the same server or a different server.
Option Action
Choose a different desktop or
application on the same server
Perform one of the following actions:
n
If you are logged in to a remote desktop and you want to switch to another
remote desktop or application that is already running on your client, select the
desktop or application from the View menu.
n
If you are logged in to a remote desktop or application and you want to switch
to another desktop or application that is not running, select File > Return to
Desktop and Applications List from the menu bar and then launch the
desktop or application from the selector window.
n
From the desktop and application selector window, double-click the icon for
the other desktop or application. That desktop or application opens in a new
window so that you have multiple windows open, and you can switch between
them.
Choose a different desktop or
application on a different server
Perform either of the following actions:
n
If you want to keep the current desktop or application open and also connect
to a remote desktop or application on another server, start a new instance of
Horizon Client and connect to the other desktop or application.
n
If you want to close the current desktop and connect to a desktop on another
server, go to the desktop selector window, click the Disconnect icon in the
upper-left corner of the window, and confirm that you want to log off of the
server. You will be disconnected from the current server and any open
desktop or application sessions. You can then connect to a different server.
Log O or Disconnect
With some configurations, if you disconnect from a remote desktop without logging off, applications in the
desktop can remain open. You can also disconnect from a server and leave published applications
running.
Even if you do not have a remote desktop open, you can log off of the remote desktop operating system.
Using this feature has the same result as sending Ctrl+Alt+Del to the desktop and then clicking Log Off.
