Installation and Setup Guide

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, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later.
Important View Agent 6.1 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 View Connection Server 6.1.
For information about which editions of each client operating system are supported, see System
Requirements for Windows Client Systems.
Feature Support for Published Desktops on RDS Hosts

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.
