When you deactivate a multi-session host, VMware Horizon 8 no longer uses it to host new published desktops or applications. Users can continue to use published desktops and applications that are currently open.

Procedure

  1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Farms.
  2. Click the farm ID.
  3. Select the RDS Hosts tab.
  4. Select a multi-session host and click More Commands.
  5. Click Enable or Disable.
  6. Click OK.

Results

If you enable the multi-session host, a check mark appears in the Enabled column, and Available appears in the Status column. If you deactivate the host, the Enabled column is empty and Disabled appears in the Status column.
