If you intend to join a Horizon FLEX virtual machine to a specific Active Directory domain, you must prepare the source virtual machine to join the domain before you register it with the Horizon FLEX Policy Server.
Prerequisites
- Create a source virtual machine. See Create a Source Virtual Machine in Fusion Pro or Create a Source Virtual Machine in Workstation Pro (Not included in Horizon FLEX).
Note: Do not install Windows 7 Home edition or a non-Windows guest operating system in the source virtual machine. You cannot join a Windows 7 Home edition operating system or a non-Windows guest operating system to a domain.
- Verify that you have the administrator password for the source virtual machine.
- In the Horizon FLEX Admin Console, edit the entitlement to enable the Use machine name configuration option, allowing the virtual machine to join the Active Directory domain. The Horizon FLEX administrator account must have permission to create objects in the Active Directory.
- If using an RODC, it must be installed in the DMZ.
- Configure the Active Directory to support the domain join.
