Create the Domain Admin User

Note: This step is optional.

1- On the Active Directory Domain Controller machine, log in as an administrator, and go to the Start button > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

2- Add a user: Expand the domain, right-click Users, select New, and select User.

3- Complete the New Object – User dialog box that appears.

Note: my username that was created is Horizon-domain-user. You can choose your username.

Create OUs for Instant-Clone Desktops and RDSH Servers and Delegate Control

1- On the Active Directory Domain Controller machine, log in as an administrator, and go to the Start button > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

2- Right-click the domain name, select New, and select Organizational Unit.

3- In the New Object – Organizational Unit dialog box, enter a name, such as Instant Clones, and click OK.
This OU is the Active Directory container in which the instant-clone computer accounts will be created. After you complete the text box, you can ﬁnd the OU under the domain.

4- Right-click this OU you just created (which is the container) and selected Delegate Control.
The Delegation of Control wizard appears.

5- Click Next on the Welcome page and Add on the Users or Groups page.

6- Enter the name of the domain user you just created; click Check Names, to verify that the name can be found in Active Directory, and click OK.

7- When you are returned to the Users or Groups page, click Next.

8- On the Tasks to Delegate page, select Create a custom task to delegate, and click Next.

9- On the Active Directory Object Type page, select the following checkboxes before clicking Next:

– Computer objects

– Create selected objects in this folder

– Delete selected objects in this folder

10- On the Permissions page, select the following checkboxes in the Permissions section before clicking Next:

– Create All Child Objects

– Delete All Child Objects

– Read All Properties

– Write All Properties

– Reset password

11- On the last page of the wizard, click Finish. The user account now has the following complete list of required permissions, including permissions that are assigned by default:

– List Contents

– Read All Properties

– Write All Properties

– Read Permissions

– Reset password

– Create Computer Objects

– Delete Computer Objects

How to add an instance – Clone Domain Administrator?

You use the Horizon Console to specify the user account for joining instant-clone VMs to the Active Directory domain.

In my case, I have two domains:

1- for management domain: That name is khoshraftar.com

2- for client domain: that name is abc.local

For this purpose, I used an account that we created in this post.

1- In the Horizon Console, navigate to Settings > Instant Clone Domain Accounts, and click the Add button.

2- On the Add Domain Admin page that appears, select the domain from the list, and enter the username and password for the user you created. I used administrator user account.
