To configure Horizon Persona Management, you set up a remote repository that stores user profiles, install Horizon Agent with the VMware Horizon 7 Persona Management setup option on virtual machines that deliver remote desktop sessions, add and configure Horizon Persona Management group policy settings, and deploy desktop pools.

You can also configure Horizon Persona Management for a non-Horizon deployment. You install the standalone version of Horizon Persona Management on your users' non-Horizon laptops, desktops, or virtual machines. You must also set up a remote repository and configure Horizon Persona Management group policy settings.
