Supported Virtual Desktop Types for Software Reinstallation

Client Automation supports software reinstallation on the following virtual desktop types:

VMware View:

• Linked clones

Citrix XenDesktop:

• Pooled static desktops
• Pooled random desktops
• Streamed desktops
• Existing catalog-based desktop on standard or difference mode vDisk

Note: You can create the following types out of the golden template but no support is needed for software reinstallation. Only the template software records are reported to the domain manager on startup. You can manage the following types independently as regular Client Automation agents.

• Private mode vDisk desktops
• Dedicated desktops (through MCS)

Important! Verify that the virtual desktops are configured to reboot when the user logs off for floating linked clones in VMware View. When you create pooled static groups with a desktop assigned to multiple users, specify this setting manually for software reinstallation to work as expected.
