Local printing
At the moment the only printing services available from Linux VDI are those in the Shinfield Park offices. Print outs will be redirected to those printers, with the option of using a printer installed in the host running the Horizon Client not being available just yet, even if it is planned for the future. The current workaround is to print as a PDF file and then transfer it to the local system, for example via One Drive.
Host names of the VDI hosts will keep changing
The host names names of the VDI workstations could change every time the workstation is re-created, like for example with the monthly updates. This could have an impact for scripts that use the workstation host name, like the DISPLAY variables, allow lists or any other host-related information.
