The vRealize Operations for Horizon desktop agent can be installed as a part of the Horizon Agent
installation. See the table in Desktop Agent to find the version included with your Horizon Agent and
determine whether you need to install this version. If you chose not to install the desktop agent as part of
Horizon Agent, you can install it independently.
Important
n Due to an existing limitation, you must install the vRealize Operations for Horizon 6.6 desktop agent
separately even if you choose to install it with Horizon 7.6. This limitation is resolved in Horizon 7.7.

Horizon 7.8, you must install the desktop agent when you install Horizon Agent. To do so, select
vRealize Operations Desktop Agent on the Custom Setup page of the Horizon Agent installation
wizard. For more information, see "Install Horizon Agent on a Virtual Machine" in the Setting Up
Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 document.

linked-clone desktop pool.

virtual machine in the pool.

procedure on each server or physical machine.
Note For an automated desktop pool, you must also modify the virtual machine template so that the new
desktop agent is installed on newly created desktops in the pool.
