VMware EUC Newsletter - Week 35





 

 

Weekly highlight:

 

Horizon Cloud Service next-gen 2308 (Aug 2023)

  • Horizon Edge
    • Edge Gateways for Horizon Edges in Microsoft Azure can now have a proxy configured for outbound traffic. Existing Horizon Edge Gateways can be edited to add a proxy. Note that when a proxy configuration is changed, the Horizon Edge Gateway is redeployed.
    • Administrators no longer need to enter an FQDN or configure a DNS record for the FQDN when deploying new Horizon Edge Gateways. Existing Horizon Edge Gateways will continue to use the FQDN configured when they were deployed.
  • Horizon Universal Console
    • The Learning Center is now available from the Horizon Universal Console to provide access to announcements, walkthroughs, and other resources for help on demand. Access the Learning Center any time using the blue hexagon icon in the bottom right of the screen. In Updates, see what’s new in Horizon. Use Guides to view contextual tips and step-by-step guidance for onboarding and other key workflows. Useful Links brings all our customer resources together in a single place for easier access. New content is added regularly.
  • Horizon Gateway Appliances
    • Unified Access Gateways
      • The external Azure Load Balancer for Unified Access Gateways can now be deployed with a private IP address. This type of deployment allows a third-party Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) to be placed in front of the Unified Access Gateways. 
      • Note: Source IP affinity is used on the Azure Load Balancer to persist sessions from the same client through the same Unified Access Gateway. NVAs that do not support passing through the client source IP cause all traffic to be routed to a single Unified Access Gateway.
  • Desktops and Applications
    • Pool Groups
      • Multi-session pool groups now support rolling maintenance. Maintenance can be scheduled to occur at a specific time or can be configured to occur after a specified number of total sessions have completed on a VM.
  • Monitoring
    • Administrators now have the option to allow VMware Operators to directly request a Horizon Agent DCT log bundle from virtual machines in Microsoft Azure. This feature streamlines the process of gathering log files from VMs for troubleshooting purposes. Customers can opt-out of this feature anytime. A notice about this feature is presented the next time a customer logs in to the Horizon Universal Console.
    • Administrators now receive email and in-app notifications when Active Directory accounts or credentials are nearing expiration.
  • Universal Broker
    • A customized client access URL subdomain can now be configured for your tenant. The resulting URL is in the format of <custom_subdomain>.vmwhorizon.com.
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM)
    • Machine Identity
      • Active Directory domains can now be configured to use LDAPS. Existing domains can be changed to LDAPS.
