Configuring and Connecting Kiosk Clients
Horizon Client software is pre-installed on many thin and zero clients. See the VMware Compatibility Guide for
a current list of compatible units, or contact the vendor for Horizon Client updates. To use PCs instead of thin or
zero clients as kiosk endpoints, install Horizon Client on each PC.
To perform configuration tasks such as establishing communication, setting up applications, and assigning
custom Client IDs instead of using MAC addresses, use View Administrator on the View Connection Server.
No View or kiosk configuration tasks are performed on the endpoint devices except for installation of Horizon
Client software where necessary.
Use the vdmadmin command with the -Q option from the View Connection Server to set defaults and create
accounts for clients in kiosk mode, to enable authentication for these clients, and to display information about
their configuration. The vdmadmin directory location is automatically set in the system PATH: C:\Program
Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\tools\bin.
For help with the vdmadmin command, type
vdmadmin -help
