Complete the following steps to prepare the master virtual machine:
1. Using the VMware vSphere Web Client, create a virtual machine
using the VMware version 9 hardware specification. You cannot
create version 9 virtual machines with the software client; you must
use the web client.
2. Install Windows 7 guest OS.
3. Install appropriate integration tools such as VMware Tools.
4. Optimize the OS settings by referring the following documents:
Deploying Microsoft Windows 7 Virtual Desktops with VMware
Horizon View —Applied Best Practices white paper, and the
VMware Horizon View Optimization Guide for Windows 7 white
paper.
5. Install third-party tools or applications, such as Microsoft Office,
relevant to your environment.
6. Install the Avamar Desktop/Laptop Client (Refer to
7. Set Up EMC Avamar for details).
8. Install the VMware Horizon View agent.
Note: If the View Persona Management feature will be used, the Persona
Management component of the VMware Horizon View agent should be
installed at this time. Ensure that the Persona Management option is
selected during the installation of the View agent.
View Persona Management is enabled using Active Directory Group
Policies that are applied to the Organizational Unit (OU) containing the
virtual desktop computer accounts. The View Group Policy templates are
located in the \Program Files\VMware\VMware Horizon
View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles directory on the View Connection
Server.
Folder redirection is enabled using Active Directory Group Policies that are
applied to the Organizational Unit (OU) containing the virtual desktop user
accounts. The Active Directory folder redirection is used (instead of View
Persona Management folder redirection) to ensure that the folders
maintain the naming consistencies required by the Avamar software. Refer
to
Set Up EMC Avamar for details.
