Horizon Smart Policy Settings
You control the behavior of remote desktop features in User Environment Manager by creating a Horizon
smart policy.
Table 5-2 describes the seings that you can select when you dene a Horizon smart policy in
User Environment Manager.
Table 5‑2. Horizon Smart Policy Settings
Setting Description
USB redirection Determines whether USB redirection is enabled on the remote desktop. The USB redirection feature
allows users to use locally aached USB devices, such as thumb ash drives, cameras, and printers,
from the remote desktop.
Printing Determines whether virtual printing is enabled on the remote desktop. The virtual printing feature
allows users to print to a virtual printer or a USB printer that is aached to the client computer from
the remote desktop.
Clipboard Determines the direction in which clipboard redirection is allowed. You can select one of these
values:
n
Disable. Clipboard redirection is disabled in both directions.
n
Allow all. Clipboard redirection is enabled. Users can copy and paste from the client system to
the remote desktop and from the remote desktop to the client system.
n
Allow copy from client to agent. Users can copy and paste only from the client system to the
remote desktop.
n
Allow copy from agent to client. Users can copy and paste only from the remote desktop to the
client system.
Client drive
redirection
Determines whether client drive redirection is enabled on the remote desktop and if shared drives
and folders are writeable. You can select one of these values:
n
Disable. Client drive redirection is disabled on the remote desktop.
n
Allow all. Client drives and folders are shared with the remote desktop and are readable and
writeable.
n
Read-only. Client drives and folders are shared with the remote desktop and are readable, but
not writeable.
If you do not congure this seing, whether shared drives and folders are writeable depends on
local registry seings. For more information, see “Use Registry Seings to Congure Client Drive
Redirection,” on page 48.
Bandwidth prole Congures a bandwidth prole for PCoIP and Blast sessions on the remote desktop. You can select
a predened bandwidth prole, for example, LAN. Selecting a predened bandwidth prole
prevents the agent from aempting to transmit at a higher rate than the link capacity. If you select
the default prole, the maximum bandwidth is 90000 kilobits per second.
For more information, see “Bandwidth Prole Reference,” on page 94.
HTML Access le
transfer
Determines the transfer of HTML les between client and agent.
In general, Horizon smart policy seings that you congure for remote desktop features in
User Environment Manager override any equivalent registry key and group policy seings.
