VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen – Pools & Pool Groups

My previous blog explained the VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen – Images. In this blog, I will explain which steps you need to take to create a pool and how to add the pool to a pool group and entitle the group.

Pools

To create a pool you must have a published image. The pool will use the published image to create a group of VMs within the chosen provider.

Pool Groups

A Pool Group is, as the name suggests, a group of pools. The pool group can contain multiple pools on different edge deployments and can also contain pools of different VM sizes and workload profiles.

Until Horizon DaaS 9.1.2 only Identity Manager connector 19.03.0.1 could be used to access the Virtual Apps Collections however Identity Manager connector 19.03.0.1 has been out of general support since 2022-08-31. As of September 27th Workspace ONE Access connector 22.09 has been released (release notes). This version supports Virtual Apps Collections on Horizon DaaS 9.1.4 (released October 2022).

Domain-Join account Horizon DaaS 9.x

For Horizon DaaS the Tenant environment needs 2 types of domain service accounts. A domain bind account that is used to perform lookups in your AD domain and a domain join account that is used for joining computer accounts to the domain and performing Sysprep operations.

The domain bind account is rather simpel. Just create a normal user account, provide a password and if the CISO allows you, set the password to never expire.

The domain join account is a little bit different. If you you want to do it quick and dirty you can make the account domain admin and set the password to never expire and you’re done. This however is not recommended. So we need to do delegation of control on the OU where the computer accounts will be created. The following “allow” permissions are needed for Horizon DaaS 9.1 tenants:

Replacing the Horizon Version Manager and Horizon Air Link appliances

With the release of Horizon DaaS 9, VMware introduced two new appliances the Horizon Version Manager (HVM) and the Horizon Air Link (HAL). The HVM is the automation appliance, based on Rundeck automation. The HAL is the resource manager for the management appliances. With the release of a new version of Horizon DaaS 9, these two appliances must be replaced if a new version is available. Because VMware is always innovating they are adding new features, scripts, and codebases to every new version it would be advised that if you are in the process of installing a new version of Horizon DaaS to make sure you are using the correct version. Check if an updated version of the HVM and HAL is available at my VMware.

Below I will explain how to replace the appliances and assign it to the Horizon DaaS environment.
