Table 4‑12. Horizon Agent Configuration Template: Agent-Enforced Settings
Setting Properties
Exclude All Devices
Property: ExcludeAllDevices
Excludes all USB devices from being forwarded. If set to true, you can use other policy
settings to allow specific devices or families of devices to be forwarded. If set to false, you
can use other policy settings to prevent specific devices or families of devices from being
forwarded.
If set to true and passed to Horizon Client, this setting always overrides the setting on
Horizon Client. You cannot use the merge (m) or override (o) modifier with this setting.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Device Family
Property: ExcludeFamily
Excludes families of devices from being forwarded. The format of the setting is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: o:bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device splitting, Horizon 7 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 splitting, Horizon 7 examines the device family of the whole
composite USB device.
The default value is undefined.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Property: ExcludeVidPid
Excludes devices with specified vendor and product IDs from being forwarded. The format of
the setting is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*) in
place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: m:vid-0781_pid-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
Include Device Family
Property: IncludeFamily
Includes families of devices that can be forwarded. The format of the setting is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: m:storage
The default value is undefined.
Include Vid/Pid Device
Property: IncludeVidPid
Includes devices with specified vendor and product IDs that can be forwarded. The format of
the setting is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*) in
place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: o:vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
Client-Interpreted USB Settings
The following table describes each client-interpreted policy setting in the Horizon Agent Configuration
ADMX template file. All of these settings are in the VMware Horizon Agent Configuration > View USB
Configuration > Client Downloadable only Settings folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
Horizon Agent does not enforce these settings. Horizon Agent passes the settings to Horizon Client for
interpretation and enforcement. Horizon Client uses the settings to decide if a USB device is available for
redirection.
