To use Horizon Delegate in a remote desktop, you must select the Horizon Delegate setup option when you install Horizon Agent. The Horizon Delegate setup option is not selected by default.
To ensure optimal host consolidation, select the Horizon Delegate setup option only for the users who need it.
To install the feature with the Horizon Agent installer user interface, select the Horizon Delegate setup option.
To install the feature silently, include the following property in the Horizon Agent installation command:
INSTALL_HORIZONDELEGATE=1
For information about installing Horizon Agent, see Installing Horizon Agent for Windows. For the other properties that you can use in a silent installation, see Silent Installation Properties for Horizon Agent for Windows.
After installation, Horizon Delegate starts automatically when the user logs in to the remote desktop. It runs in the user's session under the user's identity. You do not need to start or manage a separate service.
