You must run some configuration workflows to enable self-service features and management of virtual machines that have not yet been added to a View pod.
- Set access rights for delegated administrators on the GuestCredentialConfiguration and SelfServicePoolConfiguration configuration elements in the View folder. See Best Practices for Managing Workflow Permissions.
- Run the Add Guest Credential workflow, in the Configuration/Horizon Registration Configuration folder, before using any of the workflows for registering unmanaged machines.
Unmanaged machines are virtual machines that are managed by a vCenter instance that has not been added to View. That is, if you log in to View Administrator, and go to , you will not see the vCenter Server instance in the list.
You must register an unmanaged machine with a View Connection Server instance before you can add the virtual machine to a manual desktop pool. To run the Add Guest Credential workflow, you must have local or domain administrator credentials for the virtual machine.
- Run the Manage Delegated Administrator Configuration for Registration workflow, in the Configuration/Horizon Registration Configuration folder, to allow the specified delegated administrator to use the guest credentials and access the datacenter or virtual machine folder that contains the unmanaged virtual machine.
- Run the appropriate Manage Self Service Pool Configuration workflow to specify which desktop and application pools will be available for self-service workflows in the Workflows/vCAC folder.
- For desktop and application pools provided through a Horizon pod or federation, the Manage Self Service Pool Configuration workflow is located in the Configuration/Self Service Pool Configuration folder,
