Configuring a Horizon View application pool

The next stage is to create an application pool. The application pool is going to contain all the applications that we want Horizon View to allow users to access:

1. From the Inventory menu on the left-hand side of the console, expand the Catalog option and then click Application Pools (1).
2. Now click the Add… button (2):
   

   You will see the Add Application Pools configuration page, as shown in the following diagram:

   
3. From the Select an RDS farm menu, click the dropdown arrow (3) and select the Farm that you configured in the previous section. In this example, it is the Farm called RDSH_AppStack.
4. Then click the radio button for Select installed applications. You will then see a list of the applications. This list has been populated directly from those applications that have been published on the RDSH host server and are read by the Horizon View Agent.

   Scroll down the list and select the following applications:

   • Paint
   • Calculator
   • Excel 2013
   • OneNote 2013
   • PowerPoint...
