Key Features of the VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for Horizon 7

The VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for Horizon 7 allows interaction between VMware vRealize Orchestrator and VMware Horizon 7. The plug-in contains a set of standard workflows that accomplish basic goals that are ordinarily performed in Horizon Administrator or other Horizon 7 interfaces.

You can use this plug-in to expand the settings and methods for provisioning remote desktops and applications.

  • Self-service - For end user enablement, the vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for Horizon integrates with VMware vRealize Automation to provide self-service access to applications and desktops. The plug-in workflows can be integrated with the request and approval processes that are built into the vRealize Automation service catalog.
  • Automation - Automating and distributing tasks for delegated administration reduces the need for email correspondence and exception handling. The requests are routed into processes that are pre-defined and only flagged for approval if justification is needed.

Known Issues

  • When running the Add Delegated Administrator Configuration workflow, if you add a user name for a delegated administrator and the user name contains any special characters, the workflow will report success, but the delegated administrator configuration will not be added for that user.
  • The Register Machines to Pool workflow registers any of the DNS names that are provided without performing any kind of validation. The administrator must manually push the returned registry token to the registered machine.
  • In the Application Entitlement workflow, if you accidentally supply a desktop pool ID rather than an application pool ID, the workflow runs and does not display an error message. This issue occurs regardless of whether you manually supply the pool ID or whether you bind the workflow to a desktop pool ID.
  • When duplicating a pool with the Duplicate a Pool workflow, the underscore ‘_’ is not supported in pool naming pattern for  Horizon 7 version 7.1. However, this is supported in Horizon 7 version 7.0.3 and earlier versions.
