After you install VMware Dynamic Environment Manager on Windows desktops or Terminal Services, you must configure FlexEngine and the Management Console.

To have VMware Dynamic Environment Manager running correctly, you must configure FlexEngine.

  • Create and configure an Active Directory GPO for VMware Dynamic Environment Manager. You must configure Group Policies to enable FlexEngine to run when the users log on to and log off from their Windows machines, and set up the locations of configuration and profile archives shares. The remaining VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Group Policies are optional.
  • If you do not use a GPO to configure FlexEngine, you can use the NoAD mode. See Installing and Configuring FlexEngine in NoAD Mode.
