Horizon View

When using Horizon View Instant Clones several objects are created in your vCenter Inventory that are used to assemble the instant clone virtual machines. If you want to find the relationships between those objects then you can read about that in another article on this website here. 

When using Instant Clone virtual desktops in your environment you will find several objects in your inventory that are used to run these machines. The next image shows the folders with the cp-template, cp-replica and cp-parent objects.

A customer asked if it is possible to allow AD users to manage an existing virtual machine through an HTML connection. In this short video I am showing this setup with two VMs (each in their own pool) that can be accessed by two individual users that are members of an AD Group. To accomplish this you would have to create a Manual Floating pool with 1 VM per pool that can be accessed by multiple users (not simultaneously). Use a manual pool to make sure VMs are not deleted or otherwise managed by Horizon.
