Desktop Recycle
This de-provisioning workflow removes user assignment or entitlement from the specified virtual machine
desktop. Depending on the pool policy, the virtual machine might be deleted and any persistent disks might
be saved.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, user name
Scope Works for all types of pools.
Prerequisites Run the Add Pool Policy Configuration workflow before running this workflow.
Results For floating pools, user entitlement is removed. For other desktop pool types, user assignment is
removed.
For dedicated linked-clone pools, the virtual machine is deleted and persistent disks are saved
according to the settings used in the Add Pool Policy Configuration workflow.
Limitations
n
Saving a persistent disk (sometimes called a UDD, or user data disk), works only for automated
dedicated linked-clone desktop pools.
n
Deleting the virtual machine is not supported for floating pools or manual pools.
Desktop Refresh
This workflow reverts a specific virtual machine to its base state.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, machine name
Scope Works only on automated View Composer linked-clone pools.
Results For View Composer linked-clone virtual machines, a warning message is sent to the user if there is
an active session, and the user is automatically logged out after a certain amount of time. A refresh
operation then starts.
Global Entitlement Management
This workflow allows a delegated administrator to add and remove users from a global entitlement.
Prerequisites The administrator must provide the delegated administrator with permissions on global
entitlements by running the Add Delegated Administrator Configuration workflow or the Update
Delegated Administrator Configuration workflow.
Inputs/parameters Pod federation, global entitlement name, users names to add, user names to remove
NOTE In the View Pod Federation list, if you have set a default pod, that pod might not be selected
because this workflow applies to the entire federation rather than one pod. You can, however, select
a pod from the list. If there are duplicate federation names, the pod names are shown in parentheses.
Results Specified users are added to a global entitlement or are removed from it.
Port Pool to vCAC
This workflow allows a delegated administrator to import View desktop pools into vRealize Automation.
These pools can be managed directly from the vRealize Automation console.
This workflow requires a set of configuration steps before importing and managing the pools in
vRealize Automation. See Chapter 6, “Creating Machines and Managing Pools in vRealize Automation,” on
page 59, and especially the topic “Use Machine Blueprints to Create and Add Desktops to Pools,” on
page 61.
Inputs/parameters Pod and pool ID
Results The specified pool is imported into vRealize Automation and pool items are displayed on the
delegated administrator's Items tab.
