Administration

n Assigning Dedicated Machines Using the ‑L Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -L option to assign machines from a dedicated
pool to users.
n Displaying Information About Machines Using the -M Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -M option to display information about the
configuration of virtual machines or physical computers.
n Reclaiming Disk Space on Virtual Machines Using the ‑M Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -M option to mark a linked-clone virtual
machine for disk space reclamation. Horizon 7 directs the ESXi host to reclaim disk space
on the linked-clone OS disk without waiting for the unused space on the OS disk to reach the
minimum threshold that is specified in Horizon Administrator.
n Configuring Domain Filters Using the ‑N Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -N option to control the domains that Horizon 7
makes available to end users.
n Configuring Domain Filters
You can configure domain filters to limit the domains that a Connection Server instance or
security server makes available to end users.
n Displaying the Machines and Policies of Unentitled Users Using the ‑O and ‑P Options
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -O and -P options to display the virtual
machines and policies that are assigned to users who are no longer entitled to use the
system.
n Configuring Clients in Kiosk Mode Using the ‑Q Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -Q option to set defaults and create accounts
for clients in kiosk mode, to enable authentication for these clients, and to display information
about their configuration.
n Displaying the First User of a Machine Using the -R Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -R option to find out the initial assignment of a
managed virtual machine. For example, in the event of the loss of LDAP data, you might need
this information so that you can reassign virtual machines to users.
n Removing the Entry for a Connection Server Instance or Security Server Using the ‑S Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -S option to remove the entry for a Connection
Server instance or security server from the Horizon 7 configuration.

secondary credentials to administrator users.
