Desktop and Pool Settings
You must specify desktop and pool settings when you configure automated pools that contain full virtual
machines, linked-clone desktop pools, manual desktop pools, and Microsoft Terminal Services pools. Not all
settings apply to all types of desktop pools.
Table 5-19. Desktop and Pool Setting Descriptions
Setting Options
State
n
Enabled. After being created, the desktop pool is
enabled and ready for immediate use.
n
Disabled. After being created, the desktop pool is
disabled and unavailable for use, and provisioning is
stopped
for the pool. This is an appropriate setting if you
want to conduct post deployment activities such as
testing or other forms of baseline maintenance.
When this state is in effect, remote desktops are
unavailable for use. In addition, active local desktop
sessions are suspended and local desktops are
unavailable.
Connection Server restrictions
n
None. The desktop pool can be accessed by any View
Connection Server instance.
n
With tags. Select one or more View Connection Server
tags to make the desktop pool accessible only to View
Connection Server instances that have those tags. You
can use the check boxes to select multiple tags.
If you intend to provide access to your desktops through
Horizon Workspace, and you configure View Connection
Server restrictions, the Horizon User Portal might display
desktops to users when those desktops are actually
restricted. Horizon users will be unable to launch these
desktops.
Remote desktop power policy Determines how a virtual machine behaves when the user
logs off of the associated desktop.
For descriptions of the power-policy options, see “Power
Policies for Desktop Pools,” on page 140.
For more information about how power policies affect
automated pools, see “Setting Power Policies for Desktop
Pools,” on page 140.
Automatically logoff after disconnect
n
Immediately. Users are logged off as soon as they
disconnect.
n
Never. Users are never logged off.
n
After. The time after which users are logged off when
they disconnect. Type the duration in minutes.
The log off time applies to future disconnections. If a
desktop session was already disconnected when you set
a log off time, the log off duration for that user starts
when you set the log off time, not when the session was
originally disconnected. For example, if you set this
value to five minutes, and a session was disconnected 10
minutes earlier, View will log off that session five
minutes after you set the value.
