Register the Location-Based Printing Group Policy DLL File
Before you can congure the group policy seing for location-based printing, you must register the DLL le
TPVMGPoACmap.dll.
The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TPVMGPoACmap.dll are available in a bundled .zip le named VMware-
Horizon-Extras-Bundle-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.zip, where x.x.x is the version and yyyyyyy is the build number. You
can download the le from the VMware Horizon 6 download site at
hp://www.vmware.com/go/downloadview.
Earlier View releases provide 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TPVMGPoACmap.dll in the directory
install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles\ThinPrint on your View
Connection Server host.
Procedure
1 Copy the appropriate version of TPVMGPoACmap.dll to your Active Directory server or to the domain
computer that you use to congure group policies.
2 Use the regsvr32 utility to register the TPVMGPoACmap.dll le.
For example: regsvr32 "C:\TPVMGPoACmap.dll"
What to do next
Congure the group policy seing for location-based printing.
Configure the Location-Based Printing Group Policy
To set up location-based printing, you congure the AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware
View group policy seing. The group policy seing is a name translation table that maps printers to Horizon
desktops.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the Microsoft MMC and the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in are available on your Active
Directory server or on the domain computer that you use to congure group policies.
n
Register the DLL le TPVMGPoACmap.dll on your Active Directory server or on the domain computer that
you use to congure group policies. See “Register the Location-Based Printing Group Policy DLL File,”
on page 165.
n
Familiarize yourself with syntax of the AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware View group
policy seing. See “Location-Based Printing Group Policy Seing Syntax,” on page 166.
n
Create a GPO for the location-based group policy seing and link it to the OU that contains your
Horizon desktops. See “Create GPOs for Horizon 7 Group Policies,” on page 169 for an example of how
to create GPOs for Horizon group policies.
n
Verify that the Virtual Printing setup option was installed with Horizon Agent on your desktops. To
verify, check if the TP AutoConnect Service and TP VC Gateway Service are installed in the desktop
operating system.
n
Because print jobs are sent directly from the Horizon desktop to the printer, verify that the required
printer drivers are installed on your desktops.
