to that computer, enable loopback processing.
Prerequisites
n

contains your Horizon 7 machines.
n

Directory server.
n
Verify that the MMC and the Group Policy Management snap-in are available on your Active Directory
server.

2 Expand your domain, right-click the GPO that you created for the group policy settings, and select
Edit.
3 In the Group Policy Management Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies >
Administrative Templates: Policy definitions > System > Group Policy.
4 In the right pane, double-click User Group Policy loopback processing mode.
5 Select Enabled and then select a loopback processing mode from the Mode drop-down menu.
Option Action

computer and user GPOs. Where conflicts exist, the computer GPOs take
precedence.
