Using the Group Policy Template to Configure VMware Horizon Client
for Windows
VMware Horizon Client includes a Group Policy Administrative (ADM) template le for conguring
VMware Horizon Client. You can optimize and secure remote desktop connections by adding the policy
seings in this ADM template le to a new or existing GPO in Active Directory.
The View ADM template le contains both Computer Conguration and User Conguration group policies.
n
The Computer Conguration policies set policies that apply to Horizon Client, regardless of who is
running the client on the host.
n
The User Conguration policies set Horizon Client policies that apply to all users who are running
Horizon Client, as well as RDP connection seings. User Conguration policies override equivalent
Computer Conguration policies.
View applies policies at desktop startup and when users log in.
The Horizon Client Conguration ADM template le (vdm_client.adm) and all ADM and ADMX les that
provide group policy seings are available in a .zip le named VMware-Horizon-Extras-Bundle-x.x.x-
yyyyyyy.zip, where x.x.x is the version and yyyyyyy is the build number. You can download the le from the
VMware Horizon download site at hp://www.vmware.com/go/downloadview. You must copy this le to
your Active Directory server and use the Group Policy Management Editor to add this administrative
template. For instructions, see the topic "Add View ADM Templates to a GPO" in the Seing Up Desktop and
Application Pools in View document.
Scripting Definition Settings for Client GPOs
You can set policies for many of the same seings used when you run VMware Horizon Client from the
command line, including desktop size, name, and domain name, among others.
The following table describes the scripting denition seings in the VMware Horizon Client Conguration
ADM template le. The template provides a Computer Conguration and a User Conguration version of
each scripting denition seing. The User Conguration seing overrides the equivalent Computer
Conguration seing.
