Supported Desktop Operating Systems
Administrators create virtual machines with a guest operating system and install View Agent in the guest
operating system. End users can log in to these virtual machines from a client device.
For a list of the supported guest operating systems, see the "Supported Operating Systems for View Agent"
topic in the View 4.6., 5.x, or 6.x installation documentation.
Requirements for Using Flash URL Redirection
Streaming Flash content directly from Adobe Media Server to client endpoints lowers the load on the
datacenter ESXi host, removes the extra routing through the datacenter, and reduces the bandwidth
required to simultaneously stream live video events to multiple client endpoints.
The Flash URL redirection feature uses a JavaScript that is embedded inside a Web page by the Web page
administrator. Whenever a virtual desktop user clicks on the designated URL link from within a Web page,
the JavaScript intercepts and redirects the ShockWave File (SWF) from the virtual desktop session to the
client endpoint. The endpoint then opens a local VMware Flash Projector outside of the virtual desktop
session and plays the media stream locally.
This feature is available when used in conjunction with the correct version of the agent software. For View
