Publishing an Application from a Guest VM

To publish an application from a guest VM or guest VM clone:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Publishing category and then click the Add icon below the Published Resources tree (or right-click inside the Published Resources box and click Add in the context menu).  This will launch the publishing wizard.
2. On the Select Item Type wizard page, select Application and click Next.
3. On the Select Server Type page, select Guest VM and click Next .
4. On the Select Application Type page, select Single application and click Next . The Application page opens.
5. Enter a name and an optional description.
6. In the Run drop-down menu, specify if the application should run in a normal window, maximized, or minimized.
7. In the Target field, specify the application that you want to publish. You may click the [...] button to browse for it.
8. In the Start in field, specify (or browse for) the "start in" folder. Use Windows environment variables if you are manually entering the path.
9. (Optional) In the Parameters input field, specify the parameters to pass to the application when it starts.
10. In the Guest VM settings section, specify from where the application should be published. First, you need to select an option in the Connect to drop-down list and then specify an additional parameter in the field below it, as explained below:
    • Any guest VM . Use the from Pool drop-down list to specify a pool.
    • Specific guest VM . To select a guest VM, expand the Guest drop-down list. This opens the Guest VM List dialog. Please note that in order to select a guest VM, it must have RAS Guest Agent installed. To verify this, look at the Status column, which should say "OK". If you select a guest VM that has any other value in the Status column, you will be asked to install the RAS Guest Agent in the VM before you can proceed (note that if the selected guest VM was stopped, it will be automatically started).
    • Guest VM . Specify the pool in the from Pool drop-down list and then specify where name equals Username or IP.
    • Specific RAS Template . Select a template by expanding the RAS Template drop-down list.
11. Select the Persistent option to mark a guest VM as persistent the first time a user connects to it.
12. When done, click Finish to publish the application.
