Option Description
-path Determines the destination UNC path for the Syslog

-u|-user DomainName\username Specifies the domain and username that can access the
destination path for the Syslog output.
Examples
Disable generating Horizon 7 events in Syslog format.
vdmadmin -I -eventSyslog -disable
Direct Syslog output of Horizon 7 events to the local system only.
vdmadmin -I -eventSyslog -enable -localOnly
Direct Syslog output of Horizon 7 events to a specified path.
vdmadmin -I -eventSyslog -enable -path path
Direct Syslog output of Horizon 7 events to a specified path that requires access by an authorized
domain user.
vdmadmin -I -eventSyslog -enable -path \\logserver\share\ViewEvents -user mydomain\myuser

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.
Syntax
vdmadmin -L [-b authentication_arguments] -d desktop -m machine -u domain\user
vdmadmin -L [-b authentication_arguments] -d desktop [-m machine | -u domain\user] -r
Usage Notes
Horizon 7 assigns machines to users when they first connect to a dedicated desktop pool. Under
some circumstances, you might want to preassign machines to users. For example, you might
want to prepare their system environments in advance of their initial connection. After a user
connects to a remote desktop that Horizon 7 assigns from a dedicated pool, the virtual machine
that hosts the desktop remains assigned to the user for the life span of the virtual machine. You
can assign a user to a single machine in a dedicated pool.
