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