The replication starts the next time View Client is running and the client computer contacts the datacenter. If
a replication is already active, your replication starts when the previous replication is completed.
What to do next
If you initiated the replication because you need to have the desktop checked back in without end-user
interaction, you can roll back the local desktop after the replication is complete. See
Checked-Out Desktop,"
Roll Back a Locally Checked-Out Desktop
If an end user loses a laptop that contains a local desktop, or if the hard disk becomes damaged, you can roll
the View desktop back so that the end user can check the desktop out on another computer. If the client policy
allows it, an end user who has checked out a local desktop can also roll back the desktop from within View
Client.
If an administrator starts a rollback operation, the client takes one of the following actions:
If the user is logged in to the checked out desktop, the session is terminated as soon as View Client receives
