User manual

Table 2‑3. 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.
desktopLayout
Sets the size of the window that displays a remote desktop. To use this query,
you must set the action query to start-session or else not have an action
query.
Table 2‑4. Valid Values for the desktopLayout Query
Value Description
fullscreen
Full screen on one monitor. This value is the default.
multimonitor
Full screen on all monitors.
windowLarge
Large window.
windowSmall
Small window.
WxH
Custom resolution, where you specify the width by height,
in pixels. An example of the syntax is
desktopLayout=1280x800.
desktopProtocol
For remote desktops, valid values are RDP, 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.
useExisting
If this option is set to true, only one Horizon Client instance can run. If users
try to connect to a second server, they must log out of the rst server, causing
desktop and application sessions to be disconnected. If this option is set to
false, multiple Horizon Client instances can run and users can connect to
multiple servers at the same time. The default is true. An example of the
syntax is useExisting=false.
