=== Accessing Remote Applications: ===
In some cases, it is better to access individual applications remotely instead of the entire computer. To obtain direct access to these applications they must be assigned to you before accessing them. Upon login, to the respective server (ETB or MARC) you will see any available applications on the dashboard. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic14.png]]

Launching any of these applications on the right will open as if it is installed on your location machine. If you are frequently accessing an application, you can create a desktop shortcut by right-clicking on the application and selecting “Create Shortcut to Desktop”. This will place the application on your desktop for easy access. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic15.png]]

=== Session Collaboration Setup for Host Machine: ===
Note that to collaborate on the same machine as another user, the VMware Blast option must be selected. To select this option, right-click on the lab you wish to connect to and select “VMware Blast” if it is not already selected. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic16.png]]
# Once you have connected to your remote machine and are on the desktop, click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the screen to open the system tray [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic17.png]]
# Once the system tray is open, click the icon highlighted below to open the session collaboration tool [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic18.png]]
# Enter the McMaster email address of the person that you want to connect to your session [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic19.png]]
# Click on the user's name to add them as a session collaborator and when prompted click “Copy Link” [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic20.png]]
# A session collaboration icon will now appear on your desktop. Double click on this icon to bring up the session control panel. From here you can see who has been invited to your session, provide users with control of the screen, add more people, and end the collaboration session. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic21.png]]

=== Joining a VDI Collaboration Session: ===

# To join a user's VDI session, open the VMware Horizon Client and login to the appropriate building where the host has started a session (ETB or MARC). If you have not yet added the server, see [https://servicedesk.sept.mcmaster.ca/kb/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1572887#ConnectingtoVMwareHorizonforSEPTLabs/Software-SetupServerAddress Setup Server Address]. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic22.png]]
# Once you are logged in to the building, any sessions you have been invited to should appear in the list of available labs. Double click on the collaboration session to join. [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic23.png]]

=== Common Issues: ===

===== Server unavailable - Failed to respond =====
[[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic24.png]] Check that you are connected to the VPN when you add or try and connect to the server. ([https://uts.mcmaster.ca/services/computers-printers-and-software/virtual-private-networking-students/ McMaster Student VPN])

===== When the VMware Horizon Client is first installed, it will default to selecting all “All Monitors” =====
When connecting to a VDI session you only have 1 monitor. This will cause the client to take over all monitors you have available in full screen. To use the Horizon Client on only a single monitor, right-click on the lab you wish to join and under “Display” select either “Fullscreen” or “Window – Large” [[File:VMWare Horizon Client pic25.png]]
