Introduction
This post will discuss the initial setup and configuration for an Automated Instant-Clone Farm for use with VMware Horizon.

Basically, after installing the Remote Desktop Services Role, we will restrict users to a single session through a local group policy, install the VMware Horizon Agent, install the VMware App Volumes Agent, and finally run the VMware Operating System Optimization Tool (OSOT). Once complete, the virtual machine can be shut down, a snapshot can be taken, and then a Farm can be established in the VMware Horizon Console.
