Limited Availability
Horizon 8 offers Horizon Delegate with limited availability.
Horizon Delegate is now production-ready and available through a Limited Availability (LA) program for Horizon 8.
To request access to the Limited Availability program, contact horizon-delegate-request@omnissa.com, Omnissa sales representative, or Omnissa partner.
You can add the policy settings in the Horizon Delegate ADMX template file (hzn_agent_horizondelegate.admx) to group policy objects (GPOs) in Active Directory and configure the settings in the Group Policy Management Editor.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the Horizon Delegate setup option is installed on your virtual desktops or RDS hosts. The group policy settings have no effect if Horizon Delegate is not installed. See Installing Horizon Agent with the Horizon Delegate Feature Enabled.
- Verify that Active Directory GPOs are created for the Horizon Delegate group policy settings. The GPOs must be linked to the OU that contains your virtual desktops or RDS hosts. See Active Directory Group Policy Example.
- Verify that the Horizon Agent base ADMX template is present in the same policy definitions store. The Horizon Delegate template depends on it, and the Horizon Delegate settings do not appear without it.
- Familiarize yourself with the Horizon Delegate group policy settings. See Horizon Delegate Group Policy Settings.
