Using VMware View Manager Services

VMware® View Manager is a desktop management solution that enables system administrators to provision desktops and control user access. Client software securely connects users to centralized virtual desktops, back-end physical systems, or terminal servers.

Note

Information on installing and configuring View Manager can be found on the

VMware Web site at: http://www.vmware.com.

View Manager consists of the following major components:

•View Connection Server—a software service that acts as a broker for client connections by authenticating and then directing incoming remote desktop user requests to the appropriate virtual desktop, physical desktop, or terminal server.

•View Agent—a software service that is installed on all guest virtual machines, physical systems, or terminal servers in order to allow them to be managed by View Manager. The agent provides features such as RDP connection monitoring, virtual printing, remote USB support, and single sign on.

•View Client—a locally installed software application that communicates with View Connection Server in order to allow users to connect to their desktops using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

•View Client with Offline Desktop (experimental)—a version of View Client that is extended to support the Offline Desktop feature which allows users to download virtual machines and use them on their local systems.

•View Portal—a Web-based version of View Client supported by multiple operating systems and browsers.

•View Administrator—a Web application that allows View Manager administrators to configure View Connection Server, deploy and manage desktops, control user authentication, initiate and examine system events, and carry out analytical activities.

•View Composer—a software service that is installed on the VirtualCenter server in order to allow View Manager to rapidly deploy multiple linked clone desktops from a single centralized base image.

Implementing View Client Support on Wyse Thin Clients

For the Windows Embedded Standard WFR1 software release, the latest VMware View Client support is provided as part of the Windows Embedded Standard image by including the View Client component.

Note

For the previous release of Windows Embedded Standard WFR1 software, the latest View Client support can be provided by using a Wyse Device Manager (WDM) package to push the View Client to the Wyse thin clients.

Note

The View Client WDM package requires 9 MB of space in the flash memory of the thin client.
