Vmware Horizon Client Download For Windows 8 32 Bit

[Brian Scarano]

Im working remotely via a VMWare Horizon Client portal to access my Windows 10 desktop. I have zero admin rights to modify registries, install software, access the client's settings, etc. Is there another button combo that replicates the Alt+Tab function? It's driving me crazy popping back to my computer's active windows and not the windows within the client.

Installing Horizon Client From the Command Line at VMware Docs has instructions on how to install the Horizon Client silently. Common methods for installing the client silently include: SCCM and Active Directory Group Policy Computer Startup Script.

VMware Fling View Auto-Connection Utility: The View Auto-Connection Utility allows you to connect the VMware View Client automatically into a View desktop or an application pool when the system starts up.

In the Horizon Client, each desktop/app icon has a star icon you can click, or right-click an icon and Mark as Favorite. Favorites are stored in the LDAP database on the Horizon Connection Server.

When you connect to a Horizon Connection Server, and if the certificate is not trusted or valid, then the user is prompted to accept the certificate. You can disable this prompt for any client machine that can be controlled using group policy.

When you install the Horizon Agent component, be sure to select the scanner redirection feature if you want to use it; it is disabled by default. If you are installing the feature onto a server-based OS (Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2) for either VDI desktops or RDSH desktops or applications, then be sure that the Desktop Experience feature (a Microsoft operating system feature) is installed on the server OS first. (This is a prerequisite for installing scanners in a server-based OS.)

After a user makes a connection from a compatible Windows Horizon Client to the new Horizon Agent, a new tool-tray application icon appears. The user clicks the icon to reveal the compatible image acquisition devices available for scanning.

Scanner Redirection Preferences, available by clicking Preferences from the tool-tray icon, allows further configuration of the scanning process, for example, adjusting the default compression applied to the scanning. This can greatly reduce the bandwidth needed to transmit the image (the compression is applied on the client side before the image is transmitted to the guest), but, of course, the more an image is compressed, the lower the image quality. In addition, in the Scanner Redirection Preferences, options are available to adjust the default image capture device (for example, automatic mode, last-used, or an absolute specified device).

These preferences can also be adjusted by way of Group Policy options in the guest OS. A new GPO file (available in the Horizon with View GPO Bundle) allows this configuration. See Configuring Scanner Redirection in Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View for more information

Horizon 7.7 and newer with Horizon Client 4.10 and newer have a new VMware Integrated Printing (aka VMware Advanced Printing) feature that replaces the older ThinPrint technology. ThinPrint is no longer available in Horizon Agent 2006 and newer.

Some published applications might have file types associated with them. When you double-click a file with the configured extension, you might be prompted to open the file using the remote application.

From the Horizon Connection Server webpage, you can click the VMware Horizon View HTML Access link to launch a desktop or application inside your browser. While Internet Explorer 9 is supported, some functionality, like clipboard and audio, is only available in Internet Explorer 10 and newer, Chrome and Firefox.

From Chris Halstead VMware Horizon View AutoConnection Utility: I decided to write an app in .NET that is essentially a wrapper for the View Client. It creates the command line variables based on what the user configures in the GUI and automatically connects to the specified desktop or application pool. All of the user configured information is stored in the registry under the current user hive.

This will run the application with the GUI hidden and will automatically connect to the specified pool. The application will minimize to the system tray and a balloon will indicate the connection process is occurring.

My org is looking to upgrade from 2209 to one of the 23xx versions, I was considering 2312.1 since it is ESB. Any particular challenges we might face? We use Horizon to connect to the agent installed on physical workstations.

Horizon Client may already be installed.

To connect, start the Horizon Client and enter the server address.

If the Client is not installed, you may download it from the link below.

Contact your local Administrator if you have any questions.

Horizon Client

Hello Carl,

I have tried the second solution to set enable.download and enable.webclient to false (lower case), restarted Connection server and it still shows VDI URL getting accessed via public internet. I am running Horizon version 8.8.0-21073894.

My VDI URL and IP is on F5 VIP with 2 UAGs in the pool.

Where do we need to remove the NAT or are there any changes we can make at F5 level to block public internet accessing getting to the point where accessing VDI URL gets them to download Horizon client page.

I have devices with the Horizon Client v5.0.0.5596 (auto upgrade is off) and we are going to install 2012 8.1.0.15949 using SCCM. Does the new client upgrade the existing client on the Windows PC or should I remove the previous version prior to installing the new client version?

I have tried to setup the settings under the client options, shared more than one drive, but unfortunately when the user login no drives are visible, only the mapped drives appear. I usually share Overdrive folder, we have our folders that are important, nothing on the GPOs has changed, only the master image.

Any suggestions what should I do to fix this issue?

Hello Carl one of our corporations are now on our domain and using Xendesktop windows 10, however a lot of them are connecting back to VMware horizon and using VMWARE remote via the xendesktop session, do you recommend we should use the latest front end horizon application and are there any similar optimizations which can be implemented similar to how our citrix team optimized the wifica32.exe for legacy XenApp 6.5 access from Xendesktop , The problem we have is constant high cpu usage usually around 30%

Supporting a small environment that is still on 5.2. After updating some clients to 4.10 they get a disconnection right after clicking on the desktop icon. Has anyone ran into this? Is this due to TLS 1.0 being disabled?

Quick query re: Horizon 7 and published applications. From testing, it seems that if you try and open a file located on a UNC path (i.e.a network redirected folder), and select Open With to launch a published application, the Horizon View client opens the application, but unsuccessfully tries to pass the file through as a \\tsclient hosted file. This of course fails, but suggests that in order to open any UNC hosted files, the user must do this within the published application, rather than leveraging a simple double click. Are you aware of this limitation? Mapping the UNC path as a fixed drive letter is a workaround but surely this is more of a known and widespread issue?

VMware, working closely with Microsoft, supports Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams with Horizon 8 (2006 and later) and Horizon 7 version 7.13. With the supported Horizon Agent and VMware Horizon Client versions, when a user starts a call inside the virtual desktop, a channel to the local physical device is opened and the call is started there.

Horizon Client draws over the Microsoft Teams window in the virtual desktop VM, giving users the impression that they are still in the VM, but the media is actually traveling directly between the local endpoint and the remote peer (as shown in Figure 1). The load disappears from the network, and the processing moves from the data center to the endpoint. Often the end-user experience improves as well because the data has one less hop to make. Using this mechanism, this process avoids using RTAV altogether.

The Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams feature is a boon for organizations using Microsoft Teams for audio and video calls. This document helps you plan for deploying it. The following diagram describes the flow of data between the various components of the Microsoft Teams optimization feature in Horizon.

Horizon supports audio, video, and screen-sharing offload to the local endpoint on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Below is a list of the minimum supported versions for each platform. For a complete list of features supported on each platform, see the product documentation topic for the version of Horizon that you are using.

Note: For Horizon documentation references, we will be using Horizon 8 (2212) product documentation links throughout this guide. If you have a different version, click the link and use the Selected product version drop-down list to select your version.

VMware supports Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams as part of Horizon 8 (2006 and later) and Horizon 7 version 7.13 and later. The Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams feature is also available with Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure, Pod Manifest version 2298.X and later. Microsoft also turned on the service on their side on August 11, 2020.

The Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams group policy setting must be turned on in the virtual desktop for Horizon Agent 8.7 (2209) and earlier. For Horizon Agent 8.8 (2212) and later, Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams is turned on by default when Horizon Agent is installed.

Note: The Microsoft Teams web app (browser client) is not supported via the Teams Optimization Pack. Web browser media offload is supported with the Browser Redirection feature. See Configuring Browser Redirection for support details.
