Configuring an Instant Clone Domain Administrator in Active Directory

When you configure VMware Horizon for the first time and want to use instant clones, you will need to provide an instant-clone user, called the instant-clone domain administrator in Horizon Console.

The instant-clone domain administrator is a user account in Active Directory that allows Connection Server to perform certain operations related to instant clones in Active Directory. Connection Server requires this account to join instant-clone virtual machines to your Active Directory domain. See Create a User Account for Instant-Clone Operations.

After you create and configure this instant-clone domain administrator account, you can specify the user name in Horizon Console.
