In this post, I will explain the prerequisites for Horizon Cloud deployment.

This blog post is part of a series of posts I will be creating regarding the Horizon Cloud Next-Gen deployment. Conclusionįor more details on Unified Access Gateway, please follow VMware’s official UAG documentation at “ “.Azure, Horizon, Microsoft, VMware VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen Prerequisites If the password has been used previously, it’ll ask you to re-enter the password.

Inputting wrong password multiple times.This is quite common as the frequency of logins after initial deployment tends to reduce. There can be multiple reasons for the root account getting locked. VMware has an excellent documenton how to reset admin password however, based on my recent experiences, I’ve seen customers running into issues with their root password getting locked out more often than having to reset the admin password.
