Adding Conditions to Horizon Smart Policy Definitions
When you dene a Horizon Smart Policy in User Environment Manager, you can add conditions that must
be met for the policy to take eect. For example, you can add a condition that disables the client drive
redirection feature only if a user connects to the remote desktop from outside your corporate network.
You can add multiple conditions for the same remote desktop feature. For example, you can add one
condition that enables local printing if a user is a member of the HR group and another condition that
enables local printing if the remote desktop is in the Win7 pool.
For detailed information about adding and editing conditions in the User Environment Manager
Management Console, see the User Environment Manager Administrator's Guide.
Using the Horizon Client Property Condition
When a user connects or reconnects to a remote desktop, Horizon Client gathers information about the
client computer and Connection Server sends that information to the remote desktop. You can add the
Horizon Client Property condition to a Horizon Policy denition to control when the policy takes eect
based on the information that the remote desktop receives.
N The Horizon Client Property condition is eective only if a user launches the remote desktop with
the PCoIP display protocol or the VMware Blast display protocol. If a user launches the remote desktop
with the RDP display protocol, the Horizon Client Property condition has no eect.
Table 5-4 describes the predened properties that you can select from the Properties drop-down menu when
you use the Horizon Client Property condition. Each predened property corresponds to a ViewClient_
registry key.
