Configuring VMware
VMware virtualization enables you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. VMware Horizon Client is a locally installed software application that communicates between View Connection Server and the thin client operating system. It provides access to centrally hosted virtual desktops from your thin clients.
VMware Horizon Blast does not support mapping USB drives into the Blast session. Only USB redirection is supported. In every ThinOS release, the VMware Horizon Client version may get updated to a newer version. You must upgrade the VMware Horizon package along with the ThinOS firmware. VMware Horizon package versions have a dependency on the ThinOS firmware versions. See the Release Notes of your ThinOS version at www.dell.com/support to know the corresponding VMware Horizon package version.
NOTE:There can be audio performance issues when you redirect audio from online web videos or ThinOS local videos into VMware Blast session. This is a known issue.
For information about the latest VMware Horizon Client version and the known issues, see the Release Notes of your ThinOS version at www.dell.com/support.
In ThinOS 9.1.2101, full screen/window mode could be set from both the client and the server side. From ThinOS 9.1.3112, you can set the full screen/window mode only from the client using the Wyse Management Suite policy Settings or the Admin Policy tool. The Horizon Broker fullscreen/window mode setting of Blast, PCoIP, and RDP is ignored. To enable the full screen mode, go to and enable the Full Screen Mode option under Display Settings from Wyse Management Suite policy settings or the Admin Policy Tool.
NOTE:If you are upgrading your thin client to the latest ThinOS version, you must ensure that the Horizon server or agent version is updated to support the latest Horizon client version. For more information about the client and server/agent version compatibility, see the
