If you use Horizon 7 servers with a version of View Agent older than 6.2, you will need to enable
TLSv1.0 for PCoIP connections. View Agent versions that are older than 6.2 support the security
protocol TLSv1.0 only for PCoIP. Horizon 7 servers, including connection servers and security servers,
have TLSv1.0 disabled by default. You can enable TLSv1.0 for PCoIP connections on these servers by
following the instructions in the VMware Knowledge Base, at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2130798.
If you plan to perform fresh installations of View Connection Server instances on additional physical or
virtual machines, see the complete list of installation requirements in the View Installation document.
Supported Operating Systems for Horizon Agent
The Horizon Agent component (called View Agent in previous releases) assists with session management,
single sign-on, device redirection, and other features. You must install Horizon Agent on all virtual
machines, physical systems, and RDS hosts.
The following table lists the Windows operating system versions that are supported on single-session
virtual machines in a desktop pool. The virtual machine version must support the guest operating system.
For example, to install Windows 8.1, you must use a vSphere 5.1 or later virtual machine.
