Configure the Autoconnect Feature for a Remote Desktop

You can configure a server to open a particular remote desktop automatically when you connect to that server. You cannot configure a server to open a published application automatically.

Prerequisites

Obtain credentials for connecting to the server, such as a user name and password, RSA SecurID user name and passcode, RADIUS authentication user name and passcode, or smart card personal identification number (PIN).

Procedure

1. Start Omnissa Horizon Client and connect to the server.

2. In the desktop and application selector window, select the remote desktop, select Settings (gear icon) in the upper-right corner of the window, and toggle the Autoconnect to this desktop option to on.

3. Disconnect from the server.

4. Reconnect to the server.

   Horizon Client launches the remote desktop automatically.

5. If you need to disable the autoconnect feature for the remote desktop, in the desktop and application selector window, select the remote desktop, select Settings (gear icon) in the upper-right corner of the window, and toggle the Autoconnect to this desktop option to off.
