Option Value/Format Default Description
viewusb.ExcludeAllDevices
{true|false}
undened,
which
equates to
false
Use this option to exclude or include all USB
devices from being redirected. If set to true, you
can use other policy seings to allow specic
devices or families of devices to be redirected. If
set to false, you can use other policy seings to
prevent specic devices or families of devices from
being redirected. If you set the value of
ExcludeAllDevices to true on Horizon Agent,
and this seing is passed to Horizon Client, the
Horizon Agent seing overrides the Horizon
Client seing.
viewusb.ExcludeFamily
{m|o}:family_n
ame_1[;family_
name_2;...]
undened Use this option to exclude families of devices from
being redirected. For example:
m:bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device spliing,
Horizon 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
examines the device family of the whole composite
USB device.
N However, mice and keyboards are
excluded from redirection by default and do not
need to be excluded with this seing.

undened Set this option to exclude devices with specied
vendor and product IDs from being redirected.

can use the wildcard character (*) in place of
individual digits in an ID.

o:vid-0781_pid- ****;vid-0561_pid-554c
viewusb.ExcludePath
{m|o}:bus-

port-z1[;bus-

t-z2;...]
undened Use this option to exclude devices at specied hub
or port paths from being redirected. You must

viewusb.IncludeFamily
