Configure the File Type Association for RDP
Dell Hybrid Client supports the file type association for RDP applications. Extensions and application names that are configured
from the RDP Broker agent server are fetched automatically during login. You must configure the File Affiliation settings for VDI
mode. When you launch a file from File Explorer, the VDI application that supports the file type opens the file automatically.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the VDI Broker agent server has published applications for which you can set file type association.
