The VDI desktop system can be restarted with the "contextual menu" in the VmWare Horizon Client. This may be required, for example, if the desktop became unresponsive. The "Restart" option will produce a "soft" reset, switching off the operating system and the "Reset" will produce a "hard" reset, equivalent to using the "off" button of a computer.
While there are also "shutdown" and "restart" options from the desktop itself, these require "root" access at this time, so they won't be accessible to users.
