Running Commands on Horizon Desktops
You can use the Horizon Agent CommandsToRunOnConnect, CommandsToRunOnReconnect, and
CommandsToRunOnDisconnect group policy seings to run commands and command scripts on Horizon
desktops when users connect, reconnect, and disconnect.
To run a command or a command script, add the command name or the le path of the script to the group
policy seing's list of commands. For example:
date
C:\Scripts\myscript.cmd
To run scripts that require console access, prepend the -C or -c option followed by a space. For example:
-c C:\Scripts\Cli_clip.cmd
-C e:\procexp.exe
Supported le types include .CMD, .BAT, and .EXE. .VBS les will not run unless they are parsed with
cscript.exe or wscript.exe. For example:
-C C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe C:\Scripts\checking.vbs
The total length of the string, including the -C or -c option, should not exceed 260 characters.
PCoIP Policy Settings
The PCoIP ADMX template le contains policy seings related to the PCoIP display protocol. The ADMX
template le is named (pcoip.admx). You can congure seings to default values that can be overridden by
an administrator, or you can congure seings to non-overridable values.
The ADMX les are available in a bundled .zip le named VMware-Horizon-Extras-Bundle-x.x.x-
yyyyyyy.zip, which you can download from the VMware download site at
hps://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. Under Desktop & End-User Computing, select the
VMware Horizon 7 download, which includes the bundled .zip le.
The PCoIP Session Variables ADMX template le contains two subcategories:
Overridable
Administrator Defaults
Species PCoIP policy seing default values. These seings can be
overridden by an administrator. These seings write registry keys values to
HKLM\Software\Policies\Teradici\PCoIP\pcoip_admin_defaults. All of these
seings are in the Computer > Policies > Administrative
Templates > PCoIP Session Variables > Overridable Administrator
Defaults folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
Not Overridable
Administrator Settings
Contains the same seings as Overridable Administrator Defaults, but these
seings cannot be overridden by an administrator. These seings write
registry key values to HKLM\Software\Policies\Teradici\PCoIP\pcoip_admin.
All of these seings are in the User > Policies >
Administrative Templates > PCoIP Session Variables > Not Overridable
Administrator folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
The template contains both Computer Conguration and User Conguration seings.
