Using View Administrator
View Administrator is the Web interface through which you configure View Connection Server and manage
your View desktops.
For a comparison of the operations that you can perform with View Administrator, View cmdlets, and
vdmadmin, see the VMware View Integration document.
View Administrator and View Connection Server
View Administrator provides a management interface for View Manager.
Depending on your View deployment, you use one or more View Administrator interfaces.
n
Use one View Administrator interface to manage the View components that are associated with a single,
standalone View Connection Server instance or a group of replicated View Connection Server instances.
You can use the IP address of any replicated instance to log in to View Administrator.
n
You must use a separate View Administrator interface to manage the View components for each single,
standalone View Connection Server instance and each group of replicated View Connection Server
instances.
