      VMware Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen - May 06, 2024 - Update 
  • The end-user computing (EUC) division of Broadcom is transitioning from VMware-hosted systems to EUC-hosted systems, which affects product interfaces, links, and documentation, for example: 
    • Horizon Cloud Service documentation is updated to align with the changes described in KB article 97841that apply to Horizon Cloud Service. The preceding KB discusses several key dates and required actions, as such: 
      • The URL for accessing the Horizon Universal Console through the Workspace ONE Cloud Admin Hub has changed to https://connect.omnissa.com (previously, the URL was https://console.cloud.vmware.com ). Please update your bookmarks or saved links accordingly. 

        Required Actions 
      • If you previously accessed VMware Cloud Services using enterprise federation, no changes are required to access the service at https://connect.omnissa.com . 
      • If you previously accessed VMware Cloud Services using a VMware ID, you must update your password by resetting it, as your previous password will no longer work. Please perform the following process: 
        1. In your browser, navigate to https://connect.omnissa.com . 
        2. To reset your password, enter your email and use the Forgot Password link to create a new password, instead of entering your existing password (this step ensures that you can continue accessing your services without issue.) 

          Note: If you use the same VMware ID to log in to Customer Connect and Cloud Services, you only need to reset your password once. 
    • For details regarding Omnissa Customer Connect, https://customerconnect.omnissa.com, see KB article 97841. 
    • For Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen, in the Horizon Universal Console, the following functionality is temporarily deactivated.
