Configuring Remote Desktop Features

Group Policy
Setting Computer User Description
Disable
functionality
X Disables the scanner redirection feature.
When you enable this seing, scanners cannot be redirected and do not appear
in the scanner menu on users' desktops and applications.
When you disable this seing or do not congure it, scanner redirection works
and scanners appear in the scanner menu.
Lock config
X Locks the scanner redirection user interface and prevents users from changing
conguration options on their desktops and applications.
When you enable this seing, users cannot congure the options that are
available from the tray menu on their desktops and applications. Users can
display the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box, but
the options are inactive and cannot be changed.
When you disable this seing or do not congure it, users can congure the
options in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box.
Compression
X Sets the image compression rate during the image transfer to the remote
desktop or application.
You can choose from the following compression modes:
n
Disable. Image compression is disabled.
n
Lossless. Lossless (zlib) compression is used without loss of image
quality.
n
JPEG. JPEG compression is used with loss of quality. You specify the level
of image quality in the JPEG compression quality eld. JPEG compression
quality must be a value between 0 and 100.
When you enable this seing, the selected compression mode is set for all users
aected by this policy. However, users can change the Compression option in
the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box, overriding
the policy seing.
When you disable this policy seing or do not congure it, JPEG compression
mode is used.
Hide Webcam
X X Prevents webcams from appearing in the scanner selection menu in the
VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box.
By default, webcams can be redirected to desktops and applications. Users can
select webcams and use them as virtual scanners to capture images.
When you enable this seing as a Computer Conguration policy, webcams are
hidden from all users of the aected computers. Users cannot change the Hide
Webcam option in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences
dialog box.
When you enable this seing as a User Conguration policy, webcams are
hidden from all aected users. However, users can change the Hide Webcam
option in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box.
When you enable this seing in both Computer Conguration and User
Conguration, the Hide Webcam seing in Computer Conguration overrides
the corresponding policy seing in User Conguration for all users of the
aected computers.
When you disable this seing or do not congure it in either policy
conguration, the Hide Webcam seing is determined by the corresponding
policy seing (either User Conguration or Computer Conguration) or by
user selection in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog
box.
