VMware 2V0-51.23 - VMware Horizon 8.x Professional

One of the benefits of using virtual machines is that they are independent of physical hardware. This means that they can run on any compatible host machine, regardless of the underlying hardware components. This also enables them to be migrated, moved, or copied easily from one host to another, without requiring any reconfiguration or installation. This enhances the flexibility and portability of virtual machines, as well as their availability and disaster recovery.

Another benefit of using virtual machines is that they are faster to provision than physical machines. This is because they can be created from templates or snapshots, which contain preconfigured operating systems and applications. This reduces the time and effort needed to install and configure software on each machine. Moreover, virtual machines can be cloned or duplicated quickly, allowing for rapid scaling and deployment of multiple identical instances.

Integrating a Linux OS-based desktop into Active Directory can be achieved using Winbind for domain joining and authentication, Windows Domain Join through tools like Samba, and System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) for LDAP authentication against Active Directory. These methods enable Linux desktops to participate in a Windows-centric environment, allowing for centralized authentication and management.

To enable an instant-clone pool to use NVIDIA GRID vGPU, the administrator needs to do the following:

Install NVIDIA GRID vGPU in the physical ESXi hosts and select Shared Direct in the Host Graphics Settings12.

Prepare a golden image with NVIDIA GRID vGPU configured, including selecting the vGPU profile to use12.

Take a snapshot of the golden image12.

In Horizon Console, when creating an instant-clone pool, select Manage Using vSphere Client in the 3D Render field. Instant-clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client for the golden image12.

Therefore, the possible reasons for the issue are:

The administrator has selected Shared instead of Shared Direct when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server. This option is for vSGA, not vGPU3.

The golden image and snapshot that the administrator selected has not been configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU. The administrator needs to verify that the correct vGPU profile is selected and that the NVIDIA drivers are installed in the golden image4.

The other options are not valid because:

Horizon 8 does have an explicit 3D renderer option for instant clone, but it is Manage Using vSphere Client, not NVIDIA GRID vGPU12.

Instant-clone pools do support NVIDIA GRID vGPU as long as the ESXi hosts and the golden image are properly configured12.

VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure is the only deployment solution that meets all the requirements. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure supports Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session desktops, which are a new Remote Desktop Session Host exclusive to Azure Virtual Desktop on Azure1. It also supports App Volumes, which is a real-time application delivery system that enables IT to instantly provision applications to users or desktops. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure supports centralized brokering, which means that the Horizon Cloud Service acts as a single point of entry for end users to access their virtual desktops and applications. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure also supports automatic routing of end-users to the most appropriate virtual workspace, using the Universal Broker feature. Universal Broker is a cloud-based brokering service that provides a unified user experience across multiple Horizon pods and clouds.

VMware vSphere Desktop Edition does not support Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session desktops, as they are only available on Azure Virtual Desktop1. VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management does not support App Volumes, as it is a different solution for managing devices and applications. VMware Horizon On-Premises does not support automatic routing of end-users to the most appropriate virtual workspace, as it requires manual configuration of load balancing and global entitlements. References:

VMware vCenter Server is the central management component for ESXi servers, allowing administrators to manage multiple ESXi hosts and virtual machines (VMs) from a single console. It provides essential management capabilities, including resource allocation, performance monitoring, and centralized access control, making it the cornerstone for managing a VMware virtualized infrastructure.

To improve the user experience when using Application Profiler from Dynamic Environment Manager to create application-specific user defined settings, the administrator can configure exclusions to filter out unnecessary folders and registry entries. Exclusions are rules that specify which file system or registry locations are not included in the Flex configuration file. Exclusions can reduce the size of the Flex configuration file and the profile archive, and improve the performance of the application profiling and synchronization processes12.

The other options are not valid or effective because:

Changing the default save path does not affect the size or content of the Flex configuration file or the profile archive. It only changes where the files are stored on the local machine3.

Using Deepest Registry Path does not reduce the size of the Flex configuration file or the profile archive. It only changes how the registry locations are displayed in the Application Profiler interface4.

There is no such thing as Cloud Entitlements in Dynamic Environment Manager. The correct term is Global Entitlements, which are used in Cloud Pod Architecture to entitle users to desktops or applications across multiple pods5.
