Setting Description
Automatically connect if only one
launch item is entitled
(Automatically connects to the desktop if it is the only one entitled for
the usr. This seing spares the user from having to select the desktop
from a list that contains only one desktop.
Connect all USB devices to the
desktop on launch
Determines whether all of the available USB devices on the client system
are connected to the desktop when the desktop is launched.
Connect all USB devices to the

Determines whether USB devices are connected to the desktop when

DesktopLayout
Species the layout of the VMware Horizon Client window that a user
sees when logging into a remote desktop. The layout choices are as
follows:
n
Full Screen
n
Multimonitor
n
Window - Large
n
Window - Small
This seing is available only when the DesktopName to select
setting is also set.
DesktopName to select
Species the default desktop that VMware Horizon Client uses during
login.
Disable 3rd-party Terminal Services
plugins
Determines whether VMware Horizon Client checks third-party
Terminal Services plugins that are installed as normal RDP plugins. If
you do not congure this seing,VMware Horizon Client checks third-
party plugins by default. This seing does not aect View-specic
plugins, such as USB redirection.
Locked Guest Size
Species the screen resolution of the remote desktop if the display is
used on one monitor. That is, this seing does not work if you set the
remote desktop display to All Monitors.
After you enable the seing, remote desktop autot functionality is
disabled. The minimum screen size is 640x480. The maximum screen
size is 4096x4096. This seing applies only to PCoIP connections and
does not apply to RDP connections.
I As a best practice, do not set the resolution higher than the
maximum resolution supported for the remote desktop, which is set in
View Administrator:
n
If 3D is enabled, up to 2 monitors are supported at a resolution of up
to 1920x1200.
n
If 3D is not enabled, up to 4 monitors are supported at a resolution
of up to 2560x1600.
In practice, this client-side seing will be ignored if it is set to a higher
resolution than is possible, given operating system version, amount of
vRAM, and color depth of the remote desktop. For example, if the
resolution for the desktop is set to 1920x1200 in View Administrator, the
resolution shown on the client might not be higher than 1920x1200,
depending on the capabilities of the remote desktop.
Logon DomainName
Species the NetBIOS domain that Horizon Client uses during login.
Logon Password
Species the password that Horizon Client uses during login. The
password is stored in plain text by Active Directory. For improved
security, it is recommended that you do not specify this seing. Users
can enter the password interactively.
Logon UserName
Species the password that Horizon Client uses during login. The
password is stored in plain text by Active Directory.
Server URL
Species the URL that Horizon Client uses during login, for example,
https://view1.example.com.
