USB Settings for Client GPOs
You can dene USB policy seings for both the agent and Horizon Client for Windows. On connection,
Horizon Client downloads the USB policy seings from the agent and uses them in conjunction with the
Horizon Client USB policy seings to decide which devices it will allow to be available for redirection from
the host machine.
The following table describes each policy seing for spliing composite USB in the Horizon Client
Conguration ADM template le. The seings apply at computer level. Horizon Client preferentially reads
the seings from the GPO at computer level, and otherwise from the registry at
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\USB. For a description of how View applies the
policies for spliing composite USB devices, see the topics about using policies to control USB redirection, in
the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
