Configuring Remote Desktop Features

5 In the Group Policy Management Editor, edit the Flash Redirection policy seings under User
.
The seings are located in the User  > Policies > Administrative Templates > Classic
Administrative Templates > VMware Horizon Agent  > VMware FlashMMR folder.
a (Horizon 7.0.3 or later) Open the seing  for FlashMMR url list usage for dening a list
of host URLs that you want to use with Flash redirection and select the Enabled radio buon.
b In the URL usage drop down list, choose to enable a white list or black list.
n
To enable a white list, select Enable white list.
n
To enable a black list, select Enable black list.
By default, white list is enabled.
c Open the seing Hosts Url lists to enable/disable FlashMMR for adding the list of host URLs that
will or will not use Flash redirection and select the Enabled radio buon.
d Click the Show buon.
e Enter the complete URLs that you compiled as a prerequisite in the Name column, and leave the
Value column blank.
Be sure to include  or . You can use regular expressions. For example, you can specify
https://*.google.com and http://www.cnn.com.
(Horizon 7.0) Leave the Value column blank.
(Horizon 7.0.1 or later) In the Value column, you can optionally specify
requireIECompatibility=true, appMode=0, or both (use a comma to separate the two strings).
Web sites support HTML5 by default and Flash Redirection does not work with these Web sites.
You must set requireIECompatibility=true for these sites to work. This parameter is not required
for the YouTube Web site.
By default, external interface support is enabled when Flash Redirection runs. This can degrade
performance. In certain situations, seing appMode=0 can improve performance and result in a
beer user experience.
6 On the agent machine, open a command prompt and change to the following directory:
%Program Files%\Common Files\VMware\Remote Experience
7 Run the following command to add the white list or black list to Internet Explorer.
cscript mergeflashmmrwhitelist.vbs
8 Restart Internet Explorer.
The sites set with the parameter requireIECompatibility=true are added to Internet Explorer's
compatibility view. You can verify this by selecting Tools > Compatibility View  from the
menu bar.
In Horizon 7.0 only, the sites are also added to Internet Explorer's list of trusted sites. You can verify the
trusted sites by selecting Tools > Internet Options from the Internet Explorer menu bar, and on the
Security tab, click the Sites buon.
Use Windows Registry Settings to Configure Flash Redirection
If you are a domain user who does not have Administrator privileges on the Active Directory server, you
can alternatively congure Flash Redirection by seing the appropriate values in Windows Registry keys on
the remote desktop.
You can use this procedure as an alternative to using GPO seings to congure Flash Redirection.
