Working with Unmanaged Machines

For manual unmanaged pools in VMware Horizon 8, the Connection Server instance is not able to obtain information from a vCenter Server instance. The unmanaged machines must be registered with the Connection Server instance before they can be added to a desktop pool.

Prerequisites for Adding Unmanaged Machines to Pools applies to all types of unmanaged machines. The other topics apply only to physical machines that you add to a desktop pool.
