Erik Frieberg, VMware's vice president of product marketing for end-user computing, thinks VMware's Desktone product is still a better deal. VMware isn't all that impressed with what it sees, though. Citrix and VMware are two of the biggest names, but Microsoft also has some VDI presence. WorkSpaces, on the other hand, puts the company in competition with all the VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) providers out there. In many ways, WorkSpaces and G2 instances are complementary: the former for day-to-day desktop jobs, the latter for high-end performance work.Īmazon's cloud offerings have typically competed with similar services from Google, Rackspace, IBM, and so on.
WorkSpaces follows hot on the heels of another desktop-oriented announcement, a graphics-as-a-service offering from Amazon Web Services via its new G2 instance type. Existing Windows software licenses can be moved into WorkSpaces, albeit for a fee. Higher-end bundles also include Microsoft Office Professional 2013 and Trend Micro's antivirus, and Amazon allows customization of bundles.
#AWS WORKSPACES FOR FREE#
Software is included with the systems as well, although the standard bundles are nothing that can't be obtained for free (Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Firefox, and 7-Zip). Organizations with an existing Active Directory repository or other in-network resources can connect those up to the desktops by way of a VPN. Four different virtual machine configurations are available - from a single virtual CPU with 3.75GB of memory and 50GB of persistent storage to a dual-vCPU, 7.5GB, 100GB storage model.

Repeat the process under User Configuration to set IdleLogoff properties for the user as well.The desktops are provided to clients by way of a client app, available for most major platforms: Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Windows (ironically enough). Check " Ignore sleep prevention requests from applications such as media playback" and set Action to " Log off". Under Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Lithnet/IdleLogoff, enable " Log off inactive users" and set idle timeout to 50 minutes (or any time of your choosing as long as it is a 10 minutes less than the hibernation timeout to accommodate any possible delay in execution and time required to complete the logoff process). Edit your ProfileUnity GPO to configure IdleLogoff settings.If PolicyDefinitions folder already exists in that path, just copy the ADMX and ADML files from our new " PolicyDefinitions" folders to the respective locations in the share. Go to \\%USERDOMAIN%\sysvol\%USERDNSDOMAIN%\Policies and copy the whole " PolicyDefinitions" folder to there.
#AWS WORKSPACES INSTALL#
One of them could be using freeware "Lithnet" called "IdleLogoff" the idea would be to install the software and set a Group Policy to logoff user after about 175 minutes of inactivity.ī) Install ADM template to configure Group Policy: The only way to avoid this is to force user logoff before desktop will go in to hibernation mode. There is no way to stop VHD disks from disconnecting from the desktops during hibernation. The AWS work-spaces are set to hibernate after 180 minutes of user inactivity. After user's disconnect from AWS workspace desktop and later reconnect all DIA applications are missing from the desktop.
