Configuring Kiosk Mode
Supported Features and Limitations
Commonly used View features supported in kiosk mode include
•USB redirection – When a client session for a kiosk desktop is established, USB peripherals attached to a client
endpoint are connected immediately to the View desktop.
•Printing – Virtual printing is enabled by default.
•Multiple monitors – Kiosk endpoints are not usually set up with multiple monitors, but kiosk mode supports
the capability by distributing the remote View desktop across all monitors attached to the kiosk endpoint.
Kiosk users cannot alter the display mode.
•Flash URL redirection – Flash content can be streamed from Adobe Media Servers to kiosk endpoints.
•Multimedia redirection (MMR) – Multimedia content can be streamed to kiosk endpoints.
The following limitations apply to View kiosk mode:
•Real-Time Audio-Video (RTAV) is supported on many thin clients and PCs but is not supported on zero clients.
•Hosted applications that use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) servers are not supported in kiosk mode.
•Configuration of kiosk mode on View desktops hosted on Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) servers
requires a custom user account (see step 7 under Configuring Clients).
Planning and Preparation
Use the following guidelines to set up the View environment and to prepare for configuration of the kiosk client
AD accounts:
•Determine the purpose, type, and location of the kiosk endpoints.
•Prepare the hardware for the kiosk endpoints, if necessary.
•If using PCs as kiosk endpoints, install Horizon Client software.
•Attach USB peripherals, if any, to the kiosk endpoints.
The instructions for setting up View desktops in kiosk mode are similar to those for setting up other non-
persistent View desktops. Additional steps needed to configure clients in kiosk mode are described in the
following sections:
•Preparing Active Directory for Kiosk Mode
•Preparing Desktops for Kiosk Mode
•Configuring and Connecting Kiosk Clients
