Workspot Control Configuration for VMware

Prev Next

Workspot Enterprise Connector

Pre-requisites

  • Existing VMware cluster and vCenter

  • Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2019/2022 Virtual Machine to be used as template for Workspot Control

  • Windows Server 2019/2022 to be used as Enterprise Connector

Steps

  1. Create Private Cloud in Control

  1. Click on newly create private cloud and Add Connector

  1. Install JAVA and Enterprise Connector software on Enterprise Connector Server

    • Download Enterprise Connector software from Control.

  1. Add configurations to private cloud.

  1. Install Workspot Agent on VM to be used as template

    •  Workspot Desktop Agent Installation and Configuration

    • Configure XML file for Domain Join. (maybe create a new KB specifically for how to use the config editor GUI)

    • Configure VMware VM with required applications.

    • Shutdown and convert VM to Template in vCenter.

      • All virtual machines in a desktop pool created in Control from the template will match the virtual hardware of the template (disk, cpu, ram, etc)

      • IMPORTANT - Leave in template mode at all times while Control is provisioning VMs.

      • Although you can convert the template back to a VM and make changes and then convert back to a template, in a production scenario, it is best to clone the existing template to a new VM and make changes that way.  Will need to uninstall the Workspot Agent and reinstall the agent in order for the new template to be recognized/seen by Control.

  1. Create Cloud Desktop Pool/Cloud App Pool (Server 2019/2022 RDS) in Control

  1. Assign Users as needed.
