Requirements and Considerations for Horizon Agent

The Horizon Agent component assists with session management, single sign-on, device redirection, and other features. You must install Horizon Agent on all virtual machines, physical systems, and RDS hosts.

The types and editions of the supported guest operating system depend on the Windows version.

For a list of Windows 10 guest operating systems, see the VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78714.

For Windows operating systems, other than Windows 10, see the VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78715.

For enhanced security, VMware recommends configuring cipher suites to remove known vulnerabilities. For instructions on how to set up a domain policy on cipher suites for Windows machines that run Horizon Agent, see the topic about disabling weak ciphers for Horizon Agent in the Horizon Installation document.
