Manage Published Desktop and Application Sessions in Horizon Console

When a user launches a published desktop or application, a session is created. You can disconnect and log off sessions, send messages to clients, reset, and restart virtual machines.

Procedure

Select Inventory > Farms, click a farm's ID, and click the Sessions tab. You can also view the published applications associated with a session. The Application Names column displays the published applications associated with a session. The Sessions column also appears on the Farms page for all farms.

    To send a message to users, you can select multiple sessions. You can perform the other operations on only one session at a time. You can perform a log off operation only on a session that is not connected from a vSphere console.
