Personalized phone registration based on virtual desktop infrastructure

摘要

Techniques are provided for a client device accessing a host virtual desktop (HVD) server in a network. At the client device, a session is initiated with the HVD server to access a virtual desktop hosted by the HVD server. The client device launches via the virtual desktop a communications application hosted by the HVD server to cause the communications application to obtain communication identifier information from a communications manager server. The communication identifier information is forwarded from the HVD server to the client device. The client device registers with the communications manager server using the communication identifier information to enable the client device to take on a persona of a user that is associated with the communication identifier information.
