What’s New

Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager. As part of our transition to Omnissa, Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) has been refreshed. You will notice visual updates across all DEM suite components, including the Management Console, SyncTool, Application Profiler, Helpdesk Support Tool, and product installers.

Version History. Configuration versioning and restore is a robust feature that provides flexibility and control over your configuration files. It simplifies the recovery process from unintended changes, providing a reliable method to track and manage updates to your configurations. See Version History.

Help. To facilitate the search for Help, the DEM Management Console and Application Profiler now has an Admin guide link. Clicking the Admin Guide button will take you to the product’s administrative manual.

Horizon Smart Policy. To align with the Horizon agent changes, Two Horizon Smart Policy settings regarding the Blast protocol are amended. The “Max frame rate” support is increased to 120 fps. The policy list no longer includes the Switch Encoder.

Run-once flag files enhancement. A new configuration setting that allows you to control the creation of fallback .flag files, providing flexibility and customization to your workflows. By default, the system maintains the existing behavior, ensuring compatibility with current setups and preventing disruption for the installed base. However, with this new setting, you can quickly turn off the creation of fallback files when they are not needed, reducing clutter and aligning with your operational requirements.

Latest Operating System Support. Dynamic Environment Manager now supports Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.
