Issue/Introduction

This KB is specifically for EUC customers. A separate communication addressing the impact on partners is provided here.

Resolution

What is changing?

The end-user computing (EUC) division of Broadcom will transition from VMware-hosted systems to EUC-hosted systems in April and May 2024. This transition is part of our preparation to become a standalone entity following the pending acquisition of EUC by KKR.

How am I impacted?

From April 30 through May 6, 2024, customer access to Customer Connect and VMware Cloud services portals will be limited or read-only. Also, from May 3, 2024 to May 6, 2024, the MyLearn portal will be unavailable while the current system is retired and a new platform is made available in its place.

During this time, your access to Workspace ONE and Horizon EUC services will not change. You can also continue to access knowledge base (KB) articles and technical documentation via the website.

Beginning May 6, you will use new URLs to access the EUC-hosted systems. See “New EUC URLs” at the end of this KB.

When will changes occur?

This table shows a summary of the dates and actions required. Read on for full details and specific actions to take.

Where can I get support during these changes?

Until May 5, 2024 at 7:00 PM PDT (UTC -7), the Customer Connect portal will remain operational for support requests. Please continue to use our existing process and systems for creating service requests for your support needs.

From May 5, 2024 at 7:00 PM PDT (UTC -7) to May 6, 2024 at 8:00 AM PDT, the Customer Connect Portal will be read-only while EUC migrates to new systems. Support teams will be available to assist you for critical or production-down situations only (Severity 1 SR’s). You may request support by calling the VMware customer service team (please refer to the Customer Support Numbers section at the end of this document).

Starting May 6, 2024, if you need support, submit a case through Customer Connect at https://customerconnect.omnissa.com

Where can I get Horizon Clients?

As part of the end-user computing (EUC) transition to EUC-hosted systems, the original Horizon Client download page is currently unavailable. We are posting the Horizon Clients here during this transition period:
