To use Smart Policies to control the behavior of remote desktop features on a remote desktop, you must install Dynamic Environment Manager 9.0 or later on the remote desktop.

You can download the Dynamic Environment Manager installer from the VMware Downloads page. You must install the VMware DEM FlexEngine on each remote desktop that you want to manage with Dynamic Environment Manager. You can install the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console component on any desktop from which you want to manage the Dynamic Environment Manager environment.

For an RDS desktop pool, you install Dynamic Environment Manager on the RDS host that provides the published desktop sessions.
