VMware Horizon Manual Floating pool with two users in AD group for computer management

VMware's end user computing products are now part of Omnissa. Articles related to VMware Horizon from VMwarebits.com are now published at Omnissabits.com.

A customer asked if it is possible to allow AD users to manage an existing virtual machine through an HTML connection. In this short video I am showing this setup with two VMs (each in their own pool) that can be accessed by two individual users that are members of an AD Group. To accomplish this you would have to create a Manual Floating pool with 1 VM per pool that can be accessed by multiple users (not simultaneously). Use a manual pool to make sure VMs are not deleted or otherwise managed by Horizon.
