VMware Horizon View Agent Direct-Connection
Plugin Administration
VMware Horizon View Agent Direct-Connection Plugin Administration provides information about installing
and configuring VMware Horizon View Agent Direct-Connection Plugin. This plugin is an installable
extension to View Agent that allows a View Client to directly connect to a View desktop without using View
Connection Server.
With VMware Horizon View Agent Direct-Connection Plugin running on a virtual desktop, the client can
connect directly to the virtual desktop. All the View desktop features of PCoIP, HTML5 Access, RDP, USB
redirection, and session management work in the same way, as if the user had connected through View
Connection Server.
Intended Audience
This information is intended for anyone who wants to install, upgrade, or use VMware Horizon View Agent
Direct-Connection Plugin in the VMware virtual desktop. The guide is written for experienced Windows
system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and datacenter operations.
