For information about the vendors and models for thin and zero client devices, see the VMware Compatibility Guide. Such details are not documented in this guide. The features that are available for each thin or zero client device, and the operating systems supported, are determined by the vendor, the model, and the configuration that an enterprise chooses to use. Several VMware partners offer thin and zero client devices for Horizon 8 deployments. This guide does not include instructions for installing the Microsoft Windows operating system on a client system. This guide provides instructions for installing, configuring, and using the Horizon Client for Microsoft Windows. You enter credentials into Horizon Client, the server authenticates your credentials, and then the server finds the remote desktops and published applications that you are entitled to use. Horizon Client communicates with a server, which acts as a broker between the client device and remote desktops and published applications.

This guide is written for administrators and end users of Horizon Client for Windows. This guide provides information about installing, configuring, and using VMware Horizon ® Client™ software on a Microsoft Windows client system.
