PCoIP Clipboard Settings
The Horizon PCoIP ADMX template file contains group policy settings that configure clipboard settings for
copy and paste and drag and drop operations.
All of these settings are in the Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates >
PCoIP Session Variables > Overridable Administrator Defaults folder in the Group Policy
Management Editor.
All of these settings are also in the User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates >
PCoIP Session Variables > Not Overridable Administrator Settings folder in the Group Policy
Management Editor.
Table 5‑12. PCoIP Clipboard Policy Settings
Setting Description
Configure clipboard memory size on
server
Specifies the server's clipboard memory size value in bytes or kilobytes, as
selected. The memory size is in kilobytes if it is not configured.
The client also has a value for the clipboard memory size, which is always in
kilobytes. After the session is set up, the server sends its clipboard memory
size value to the client. The effective clipboard memory size value is the lesser
of the client and server clipboard memory size values.
This setting applies only to Windows, Linux, and Mac clients on which
Horizon Client 4.1 or later is installed, and to iOS clients on which
Horizon Client 4.7 or later is installed. In earlier releases, the clipboard
memory size is set to 1 MB and is not configurable.
Note A large clipboard memory size can negatively affect performance,
depending on your network. VMware recommends that you do not set the
clipboard memory size to a value greater than 16 MB.
Configure clipboard redirection
Determines the direction in which clipboard redirection is allowed. You can
select one of these values:
n
Enabled client to agent only
n
Disabled in both directions
n
Enabled in both directions
n
Enabled agent to client only
Clipboard redirection is implemented as a virtual channel. If virtual channels
are disabled, clipboard redirection does not function.
This setting applies to Horizon Agent only.
When this setting is disabled or not configured, the default value is Enabled
client to agent only.
Filter text out of the incoming
clipboard data
Specifies whether textual data is filtered out of the clipboard data coming from
the client to the agent. When this setting is enabled and the check box is
selected, the data is filtered out. When this setting is disabled or not
configured, the data is allowed.
Filter Rich Text Format data out of the
incoming clipboard data
Specifies whether Rich Text Format data is filtered out of the clipboard data
coming from the client to the agent. When this setting is enabled and the
check box is selected, the data is filtered out. When this setting is disabled or
not configured, the data is allowed.
