Add Windows Registry Entries for a Start Session Script
You must add Windows registry entries on each View desktop virtual machine where you want View to run
a start session script.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the path where you congured your start session scripts is accessible only to the SYSTEM
account and local administrators. For more information, see “Making Start Session Scripts Accessible,”
on page 84.
n
Make sure your start session scripts run quickly. If you set the WaitScriptsOnStartSession value in the
Windows registry, your start session script must nish running before Horizon Agent can respond to
the StartSession message that View Connection Server sends. For more information, see “Managing
Start Session Timeouts,” on page 84.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View desktop virtual machine.
2 At the command prompt, type regedit to start the Windows Registry Editor.
3 In the registry, navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\ScriptEvents.
4 Add the path to the start session script to the registry.
a In the navigation area, right-click ScriptEvents, select New > Key, and create a key named
StartSession.
b In the navigation area, right-click StartSession, select New > String Value, and create a string
value that identies the start session script to run, for example, SampleScript.
To run more than one start session script, create a string value entry for each script under the
StartSession key. You cannot specify the order in which these scripts run. If the scripts must run in
a particular order, invoke them from a single control script.
c In the topic area, right-click the entry for the new string value and select Modify.
d In the Value data text box, type the command line that invokes the start session script and click
OK.
Type the full path of the start session script and any les that it requires.
5 Add and enable a start session value in the registry.
a Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Agent\Configuration.
b (Optional) If the Configuration key does not exist, right-click Agent, select New > Key, and create
the key.
c In the navigation area, right-click Configuration, select New > DWORD (32 bit) Value, and type
RunScriptsOnStartSession.
