Table 5‑4. Predefined Properties for the Horizon Client Property Condition
Property Corresponding Registry Key Description
Client location
ViewClient_Broker_GatewayLocation
Species the location of the user's client system. Valid
values are as follows:
n
Internal - the policy takes eect only if a user
connects to the remote desktop from inside the
corporate network
n
External - the policy takes eect only if a user
connects to the remote desktop from outside the
corporate network
For information about seing the gateway location for a
Connection Server or security server host, see the View
Administration document.
For information about seing the gateway location for
an Access Point appliance, see the Deploying and
Conguring Unied Access Gateway document.
Launch tag(s)
ViewClient_Launch_Matched_Tags
Species one or more tags. Separate multiple tags with
a comma or semicolon. The policy takes eect only if
the tag that enabled the remote desktop or application
launch to occur matches one of the specied tags.
For information about assigning tags to Connection
Server instances and desktop pools, see your Seing Up
document.
Pool name
ViewClient_Launch_ID
Species a desktop or application pool ID. The policy
takes eect only if the ID of the desktop or application
pool the user selected when launching the remote
desktop or application matches the specied desktop or
application pool ID. For example, if the user selected
the Win7 pool and this property is set to Win7, the
policy takes eect.
N If more than one application pool is launched in
the same RDS host session then the value is the ID of
the rst application that is launched from Horizon
Client.
The Properties drop-down menu is also a text box, and you can manually enter any ViewClient_ registry
key in the text box. Do not include the ViewClient_ prex when you enter the registry key. For example, to
specify ViewClient_Broker_URL, enter Broker_URL.
You can use the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) on the remote desktop to view the ViewClient_
registry keys. Horizon Client writes client computer information to the system registry path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment on remote desktops that are deployed on single-user machines.
For remote desktops that are deployed in RDS sessions, Horizon Client writes the client computer
information to the system registry path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\x, where x is the session
ID on the RDS host.
