Table 6‑1. Worksheet: Configuration Options for Creating an Instant-Clone Desktop Pool (Continued)
Option Description Fill In Your Value Here
Access group Select an access group in which to place the pool or leave the
pool in the default root access group.
If you use an access group, you can delegate managing the
pool to an administrator who has a specific role. For details,
see the role-based delegated administration chapter in the
View Administration document.
NOTE Access groups are different from vCenter Server
folders that store virtual machines that are used as desktops.
You select a vCenter Server folder later in the wizard with
other vCenter Server settings.
State If set to Enabled, the pool is ready for use after provisioning.
If set to Disabled, the pool is not available to users. During
provisioning, if you disable the pool, provisioning will stop.
Connection Server
restrictions
You can restrict access to the pool to certain Connection
Servers by clicking the Browse button and selecting one or
more Connection Servers.
If you intend to provide access to the desktops through
VMware Identity Manager, and you configure Connection
Server restrictions, the VMware Identity Manager app might
display desktops to users when those desktops are actually
restricted. VMware Identity Manager users will be unable to
launch these desktops.
Automatically logoff after
disconnect
n
Immediately. Users are logged off when 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.
Allow user to initiate
separate sessions from
different client devices
When this setting is selected, a user connecting to the same
desktop pool from different client devices will get different
desktop sessions. The user can only reconnect to an existing
session from the client device where that session was
initiated. When this setting is not selected, the user will be
reconnected to his or her existing session no matter which
client device is used.
Default display protocol Select the default display protocol. The choices are Microsoft
RDP, PCoIP, and VMware Blast.
Allow users to choose
protocol
Specify whether users can choose display protocols other than
the default.
