Creating a Policy to Set the Default Connection Server URL
To set the Connection Server URL for Horizon Client users, a Chrome administrator must create a policy. To
create the policy, the Chrome administrator must sign in to the Google Admin console, select the VMware
Horizon Client Helper extension, select User , and then upload the JSON conguration le that
species the default Connection Server URL.
For detailed information about using the Google Admin console, see the G Suite Administrator Help.
Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields that contain sensitive information are anonymous.
VMware collects data on client systems to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment to respond beer to customer requirements. VMware does not
collect data that identies your organization. Horizon Client information is sent rst to the Connection
Server instance and then to VMware, with data from Connection Server, desktop pools, and remote
desktops.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in Horizon Administrator after the installation.
