Table 4‑11. Horizon Agent Configuration Template: Device-Splitting Settings
Setting Properties
Allow Auto Device
Splitting
Property:
AllowAutoDeviceSplitting
Allows the automatic spliing of composite USB devices.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
from Split
Property: SplitExcludeVidPid
Excludes a composite USB device specied by vendor and product IDs from
spliing. The format of the seing is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-
yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*)
in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: o:vid-0781_pid-55**
The default value is undened.
Split Vid/Pid Device
Property: SplitVidPid
Treats the components of a composite USB device specied by vendor and product
IDs as separate devices. The format of the seing is
{m|o}:vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww])
or
{m|o}:vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww])
You can use the exintf keyword to exclude components from redirection by
specifying their interface number. You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal, and
interface numbers in decimal including any leading zero. You can use the wildcard
character (*) in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: o:vid-0781_pid-554c(exintf:01;exintf:02)
N Horizon 7 does not automatically include the components that you have not
explicitly excluded. You must specify a lter policy such as Include Vid/Pid
Device to include those components.
The default value is undened.
Horizon Agent -Enforced USB Settings
The following table describes each agent-enforced policy seing for USB in the Horizon Agent
Conguration ADMX template le. All of these seings are in the VMware Horizon Agent >
View USB folder in the Group Policy Management Editor. Horizon Agent uses the seings to
decide if a USB device can be forwarded to the host machine. Horizon Agent also passes the seings to
Horizon Client for interpretation and enforcement according to whether you specify the merge (m) or
override (o) modier. Horizon Client uses the seings to decide if a USB device is available for redirection.
As Horizon Agent always enforces an agent-enforced policy seing that you specify, the eect might be to
counteract the policy that you have set for Horizon Client. For a description of how Horizon 7 applies the
policies for ltering USB devices, see “Conguring Filter Policy Seings for USB Devices,” on page 79.
