Issue with Horizon View, after a log off there is no new login screen and the last user is not logged off at all


Hi, I build a profile for Horizon View but after a log off there is no new login screen and the last user is not logged off at all. I tried the Post command log off but after testing this there is no difference. What do I miss?

Have you tried ticking Restart under Desktop Integration?


Yes, restart is ON


Ok. What did you put into the Post Logoff command?


It works for now with this command but is this a kind of repair or is this the way to go with a Horizon Client?


No that looks good. With this enabled, what happens is that after you disconnect from the desktop session, it will then also log out of the VMware Horizon server. At that point, the Restart option will then show a new login window for VMware Horizon.

So I would say that for your use case, this configuration is correct. 🙂


Well, I’m more a Citrix person so Horizon View and their clients is rather new for me. But indeed it works so fine for me now. Thanks for thinking with me in this case!


No probs! Glad you were able to get it working.

The way I understand it is, that command is basically the Vmware equivalent of logging you out of Storefront when you disconnect/log off from a Published Desktop in Citrix. (if that makes it simpler)


In storefront I could make a setting on server level to log off the user. Not the user session but the storefront login of the user. I usually set this at one minute to solve things
