Send Messages to Desktop Users in Horizon Console

You might sometimes need to send messages to users who are currently logged into desktops. For example, if you need to perform maintenance on a machine, you can ask the users to log out temporarily, or warn them of a future interruption in service. You can send a message to multiple users (there is no set limit on the number of users).

Procedure

1. In Horizon Console, click Inventory > Desktops.

2. Click a pool ID and click the Sessions tab.

3. Select one or more machines and click Send Message.

4. Type the message, select the message type, and click OK.

   A message type can be Info, Warning, or Error.

Results

The message is sent to all selected machines in active sessions.
