VMware Horizon Agent Protocol Error and Windows Firewall: A Safe Fix Checklist

Direct answer: A Horizon Agent protocol error is often caused by a blocked secondary protocol path or a Windows Firewall profile mismatch. Fix it by proving which protocol is selected, which component initiates the connection, and whether the desktop firewall allows the required path. Symptoms and affected environment The user can authenticate but the desktop disconnects during launch. Only specific pools, images, or network segments fail. Changing display protocol changes the symptom, which suggests protocol path or firewall behavior. Evidence checklist Check Evidence Failure clue Safe action Selected protocol Pool and client setting Blast fails but RDP test succeeds Focus on Blast path Agent firewall Windows Firewall profile and rules Domain profile not active or rule missing Correct scoped rule only Gateway path UAG and Connection Server logs Secondary protocol timeout Validate route before changing image Image drift Golden image policy and agent version Only one image family fails...
