Disable or Enable a Farm

When you disable a farm, users can no longer launch published desktops or applications from the published desktop pools and the application pools that are associated with the farm. Users can continue to use published desktops and applications that are currently open.

You can disable a farm if you plan to do maintenance on the RDS hosts in the farm or on the published desktop and application pools that are associated with the farm. After you disable a farm, some users might still be using published desktops or applications that they opened before you disable the farm.

Disabling an automated instant clone farm will not disable the desktop provisioning for the published desktop pool that uses an Instant Clone RDS farm.

Procedure

  1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Farms.

  2. Select one or more farms and click More Commands.

  3. Click Enable or Disable.

  4. Click OK to confirm.

Results

You can view the status of the pools by selecting Inventory > Desktops or Inventory > Applications.
