To set up a View
desktop deployment or standalone computers with View Persona Management, you
must perform several high-level tasks.
This sequence is recommended,
although you can perform these tasks in a different sequence. For example, you
can configure or reconfigure group policy settings in Active Directory after
you deploy desktop pools.
1 |
Configure a remote
repository to store user profiles.
You can configure a network
share or use an existing Active Directory user profile path that you configured
for Windows roaming profiles.
|
2 |
Install View Agent with the
View Persona
Management setup option on the virtual machines that you use to
create desktop pools.
To configure View Persona
Management for non-View laptops, desktops, or virtual machines, install the
standalone View Persona Management software on each computer in your targeted
deployment.
|
3 |
Add the View Persona
Management Administrative (ADM) Template file to your Active Directory server
or the Local Computer Policy configuration on the parent virtual machine.
To configure View Persona
Management for your whole View or non-View deployment, add the ADM Template
file to Active Directory.
To configure View Persona
Management for one desktop pool, you can take these approaches:
■
|
Add the ADM Template
file to the virtual machine that you use to create the pool.
|
■
|
Add the ADM Template
file to Active Directory and apply the group policy settings to the OU that
contains the machines in the pool.
|
|
4 |
Enable View Persona
Management by enabling the
Manage user
persona group policy setting.
|
5 |
If you configured a network
share for the remote profile repository, enable the
Persona
repository location group policy setting and specify the network
share path.
|
6 |
(Optional) Configure other group policy settings in Active Directory
or the Local Computer Policy configuration.
|
7 |
Create desktop pools from
the virtual machines on which you installed View Agent with the
View Persona
Management setup option.
