Setting Desktop Policies with
Start Session Scripts 6
With start session scripts, you can configure specific View desktop settings before a desktop session
starts based on information received from Horizon Client and View Connection Server.
For example, you can use a start session script to configure desktop policies based on client device and
user location instead of setting up multiple desktop pools that have different desktop policies. A start
session script can enable mapped drives, clipboard redirection, and other desktop features for a user who
has an IP address in your organization’s internal domain, but disallow these features for a user who has
an IP address in an external domain.

Sample Start Session Scripts
Obtaining Input Data for a Start Session Script
Start session scripts cannot run interactively. A start session script runs in an environment created by
View and must obtain its input data from that environment.
Start session scripts gather input data from environment variables on the client computer. Start session
environment variables have the prefix VDM_StartSession_. For example, the start session environment
variable that contains the client system’s IP address is VDM_StartSession_IP_Address. You must
ensure that a start session script validates the existence of any environment variable that it uses.
For a list of variables similar to start session environment variables, see “Client System Information Sent
to View Desktops” in the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
Best Practices for Using Start Session Scripts
Follow these best practices when using start session scripts.
When to Use Start Session Scripts
Use start session scripts only if you need to configure desktop policies before a session starts.
