Application virtualization decouples applications from the underlying operating system and deliver the applications as a service to end users. Users can use the applications bound to their user accounts on any endpoints without having to worry about installation or security issues.
The ARM architecture does not support virtual application in the current software version.
The application server only supports VDI and physical host desktop types, and their operating system version must be Windows Server 2008, 2012 R2, 2016 (recommended), or 2019 (recommended).
If you need to use a camera via USB redirection through virtual applications, use a Windows system endpoint, and the application server must be running on Windows Server 2016 or 2019.
Physical host application servers support the use of GPU resources.
Deploy the RDS service. If the RDS service is not available, users cannot connect to the server or use the applications published by the server.
Virtual applications are available for domain users, LDAP users, and local users, and each type of user can use only applications in the corresponding type of application server desktop pool.
For desktops to be connected correctly, the password of the user using virtual applications must meet the following requirements:
The password cannot exceed 7 characters.
The password must contain three of the following character types: upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters.
Virtual applications can be accessed only from Workspace_App. Make sure that Workspace_App has been installed on user endpoints.
Check H3C Workspace Cloud Desktop Hardware & Software Compatibility Matrixes for the supported virtual applications.
In the gateway scenario, ensure that all IP addresses of the application servers are able to communicate with the gateway.
Set up cloud desktops in bulk as application servers:
Create a system image.
Create a VDI desktop image based on the system image.
Build the desktop image:
Install an operating system and application software.
Configure DNS settings and install the CAStools and VdiAgent .
Configure system optimization settings.
Enable the remote assistance service.
Create a desktop pool based on the built desktop image. A desktop pool for virtual applications must use the VDI and physical host desktop type and application server pool as the desktop pool type.
Deploy cloud desktops based on the desktop image in the desktop pool.
Create an application server based on a deployed cloud desktop. After Space Console connects to the application server, you can obtain the applications available to publish on the server. For more information, see "Application servers."
Create an application group to publish the available applications on the application server to designated users, user groups, or OUs. For more information, see "Application groups."
After logging in through the Space Console client, a user can view the applications published by the application server on the Virtual Applications tab and use the applications as needed.
