Table 2‑1. Values That Can Be Used With the action Query (Continued)
Value Description
restart
Shuts down and restarts the specied desktop. Restarting a remote
desktop is the equivalent of the Windows operating system restart
command. The operating system usually prompts the user to save
any unsaved data before it restarts.
logoff
Logs the user out of the guest operating system in the remote
desktop. If you specify an application, the action is ignored or the
end user sees the warning message "Invalid URI action."
args
Species command-line arguments to add to remote application launch. Use
the syntax args=value, where value is a string. Use percent encoding for the
following characters:
n
For a colon (:), use %3A
n
For a back slash (\), use %5C
n
For a space ( ), use %20
n
For a double quotation mark ("), use %22
For example, to specify the lename "My new file.txt" for the Notepad++
application, use %22My%20new%20file.txt%22.
appProtocol
For remote applications, valid values are PCOIP and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax appProtocol=PCOIP.
defaultLaunchView
Sets the default launch view for Horizon Client. Valid values are recent and
servers.
desktopProtocol
For remote desktops, valid values are PCOIP and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCOIP.
domainName
The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop or application. For example, you might use mycompany
rather than mycompany.com.
tokenUserName
Species the RSA or RADIUS user name. Use this query only if the RSA or
RADIUS user name is dierent from the Active Directory user name. If you
do not specify this query and RSA or RADIUS authentication is required, the
Windows user name is used. The syntax is tokenUserName=name.
Examples of vmware-view URIs

or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, open a particular remote desktop
with the startup options you specify.
URI Syntax Examples
Each URI example is followed by a description of what the end user sees after clicking the URI link.
