Roll Back a Desktop
Rolling back discards changes made to a virtual desktop that you checked out for use in local mode on a
Windows PC or laptop.
You can roll back a remote desktop only if your View administrator has enabled this feature and only if you
checked out the desktop.
CAUTION If changes were made to the local mode desktop and those changes were not replicated back to the
View server before rolling back, the changes are lost.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain the credentials that you need to log in, such as Active Directory user name and password, RSA
SecurID user name and passcode, or RADIUS authentication user name and passcode.
n
Back up the desktop to the server to preserve data or files.
You can use View Administrator to replicate data to the server, or, if the policy is set to allow it, you can
use View Client with Local Mode on the Windows client where the desktop is currently checked out.
Procedure
1 If the Horizon View Client Home screen displays View Connection Server shortcuts, double-click the
shortcut for the server that accesses the desktop and supply credentials.
a If you are prompted for RSA SecurID credentials or RADIUS authentication credentials, enter the
user name and passcode and click Continue.
b Enter your user name and password in the login dialog box.
2 On the Horizon View Client Home screen that displays remote desktop shortcuts, select the desktop
and select Desktop > Rollback from the menu bar.
After the remote desktop is rolled back, you can log in to it from the Mac client.
