Overriding IP Addresses Using the -A Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -A option to override the IP address reported by
Horizon Agent.
Syntax
vdmadmin -A [-b authentication_arguments] -override -i ip_or_dns -d desktop -m machine
vdmadmin -A [-b authentication_arguments] -override -list -d desktop -m machine
vdmadmin -A [-b authentication_arguments] -override -r -d desktop [-m machine]
Usage Notes
Horizon Agent reports the discovered IP address of the machine on which it is running to
the Connection Server instance. In secure configurations where the Connection Server instance
cannot trust the value that Horizon Agent reports, you can override the value provided by Horizon
Agent and specify the IP address that the managed machine should be using. If the address of a
machine that Horizon Agent reports does not match the defined address, you cannot use Horizon
Client to access the machine.
Options
The following table shows the options that you can specify to override IP addresses.

-i ip_or_dns Specifies the IP address or resolvable domain name in
