The XenDesktop infrastructure is reliant upon the Network Services Module for name resolution and authentication. DHCP & DNS:- Pooled desktops are based on a single master image. As such, they are reliant upon DHCP for the delivery of a unique network configuration. DNS is required by XenDesktop and its supporting infrastructure for domain name resolution.
Active Directory:- XenDesktop utilizes Active Directory for authentication and the enforcement of policy settings for both users and computers.
