not by Agent folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
Exclude All Devices Excludes all USB devices from being redirected. If set to true, you can use other policy
seings to allow specic devices or families of devices to be redirected. If set to false, you
can use other policy seings to prevent specic devices or families of devices from being
redirected.
If you set the value of Exclude All Devices to true on the agent, and this seing is
passed to Horizon Client, the agent seing overrides the Horizon Client seing.

If you have enabled automatic device spliing, Horizon examines the device family of each
interface of a composite USB device to decide which interfaces should be excluded. If you
have disabled automatic device spliing, Horizon examines the device family of the whole
composite USB device.
The default value is undened.
This seing is in the VMware Horizon Client > View USB
folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
