Setting Properties
Exclude All Devices
Property: ExcludeAllDevices
Excludes all USB devices from being forwarded. If set to true, you can use other
policy seings to allow specic devices or families of devices to be forwarded. If set to
false, you can use other policy seings to prevent specic devices or families of
devices from being forwarded.
If set to true and passed to Horizon Client, this seing always overrides the seing
on Horizon Client. You cannot use the merge (m) or override (o) modier with this
seing.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Exclude Device Family
Property: ExcludeFamily
Excludes families of devices from being forwarded. The format of the seing is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: o:bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device spliing, Horizon 7 examines the device family
of each interface of a composite USB device to decide which interfaces should be
excluded. If you have disabled automatic device spliing, Horizon 7 examines the
device family of the whole composite USB device.
The default value is undened.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Property: ExcludeVidPid
Excludes devices with specied vendor and product IDs from being forwarded. The
format of the seing 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: m:vid-0781_pid-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undened.
Include Device Family
Property: IncludeFamily
Includes families of devices that can be forwarded. The format of the seing is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: m:storage
The default value is undened.
Include Vid/Pid Device
Property: IncludeVidPid
Includes devices with specied vendor and product IDs that can be forwarded. The
format of the seing 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-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undened.
Client-Interpreted USB Settings
The following table describes each client-interpreted policy seing in the Horizon Agent Conguration
ADMX template le. All of these seings are in the VMware Horizon Agent  > View USB

Horizon Agent does not enforce these seings. Horizon Agent passes the seings to Horizon Client for
interpretation and enforcement. Horizon Client uses the seings to decide if a USB device is available for
redirection.
