A recompose can also be performed on an individual desktop. One reason to do this might be because you need to test out an updated desktop configuration on a small number of users prior to recomposing all the desktops. The following steps describe how to recompose a single linked clone desktop using the Horizon Administrator console:

1. Log into the Horizon Administrator console using an AD account that has administrative permissions within Horizon.
2. Go to Catalog and open the Desktop Pools window within the console.
3. In the Desktop Pools window, click on the pool that contains the linked clone desktop you wish to recompose.
4. In the window for the desktop pool you selected, click the Inventory tab.
5. Click on the linked clone desktop that you wish to recompose. In our example, we will click on the desktop named APPV10-2 to open the APPV10-2 window.
6. In the APPV10-2 window, open the View Composer drop-down menu and then click on Recompose to open the Recompose window.
7. Complete the remaining steps to initiate the recompose operation.
