User manual

The Horizon Client Conguration ADM and ADMX template les (vdm_client.adm and vdm_client.admx),
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 les from the VMware Horizon download site at
hp://www.vmware.com/go/downloadview. You must copy these les to your Active Directory server and
use the Group Policy Management Editor to add the administrative templates. For instructions, see the
Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 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 and ADMX template les. The template les provide 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.
