Determining the effective home site of a user or security group

While the concept of a Horizon home site is easy enough to understand, owing to home site overrides and the fact that it is possible that a user can be assigned to multiple home sites at once, it is important to have a way to determine what the effective home site should be for a given user. We will use the Horizon home site resolution tool to determine the effective home sites for a user with the following characteristics:

  • Member of Horizon_Homesite_RTP security group, which is assigned to the RTP home site.
  • Home site override in place of the Windows 10 x64 Global Entitlement that associates the user with the SJC home site.

The following steps outline how to use the Horizon home site resolution tool to identify which home site the user will be assigned in this case:

  1. Log on to the Horizon Administration console of any member of the Cloud Pod using an AD account that has administrative permissions within Horizon.
  2. Click on Users and Groups under Inventory, then click the Home Site tab, and finally click Resolution, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. Click on the field to the left of the Look Up button to open the Find User window. This window is similar to the one used to find users during the entitlement process, but in this case it can only find individual users and not security groups. Use the window to find the user you wish to investigate, and then click OK to return to the Home Site tab, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. Click on the Look Up button to begin the resolution process; when it has finished, the Home Site tab will display the results, as shown in the following screenshot. When a user is assigned to a home site more than once, or is subject to a home site override (in this case both), a triangle will be displayed to the left of the Global Entitlement name. Click on the triangle to expand the results and see all home site assignments that the user was subject to. The effective home site will be displayed at the top of each list, and any others will be crossed out:
In this case, we can see that the San Jose home site override of the Windows 10 x64 Global Entitlement has precedence over all other home site assignments. Additionally, the direct assignment of the user account (identified as Direct) had precedence over the inherited assignment due to being a member of the Horizon_Homesite_RTP security group.
