Course Overview
A five-day course that combines VMware Horizon® 8: Virtual Desktop Troubleshooting and VMware Horizon 8: Skills for Virtual Desktop Management is called VMware Horizon® 8: Virtual Desktop Bootcamp. With the help of a single virtual desktop infrastructure platform, you may deploy virtual desktops and apps with the help of this training collection. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical labs, you will develop your abilities in establishing and maintaining VMware Horizon® 8. You learn how to set up and deploy virtual machine pools as well as how to give end users a unique desktop setting.
You will also learn how to troubleshoot common issues in a VMware Horizon® setup. You will take part in a range of lab exercises to address current environmental problems. The exercises are based on real-world troubleshooting use scenarios. With the help of these activities, students can tackle common problems that virtual desktop administrators and operators encounter.
This course also provides a challenge lab designed to present participants with virtual desktop issues that may arise in actual Horizon environments. The lab's objective is to practice the contents covered during the training to create a working environment.
