For a description of how Horizon applies the policies for splitting composite USB devices, see the topics
about using policies to control USB redirection, in the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7
document.
Table 3‑8. Horizon Client Configuration Template: USB Splitting Settings
Setting Properties
Allow Auto Device
Splitting
Allow the automatic splitting of composite USB devices.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
From Split
Excludes a composite USB device specified by vendor and product IDs from splitting. The format
of the setting is vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*) in place of
individual digits in an ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-55**
The default value is undefined.
Split Vid/Pid Device
Treats the components of a composite USB device specified by vendor and product IDs as
separate devices. The format of the setting is
vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww ])
You can use the exintf keyword to exclude components from redirection by specifying their
interface number. You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal, and interface numbers in decimal
including any leading zero. You can use the wildcard character (*) in place of individual digits in an
ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-554c(exintf:01;exintf:02)
Note Horizon does not automatically include the components that you have not explicitly
excluded. You must specify a filter policy such as Include Vid/Pid Device to include those
components.
The default value is undefined.
Policy Settings for Filtering USB Devices
The following table describes each policy setting for filtering USB devices in the Horizon Client
Configuration ADMX template file. The settings apply at computer level. Horizon Client preferentially
reads the settings from the GPO at computer level, and otherwise from the registry at
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\USB.
For a description of how Horizon applies the policies for filtering USB devices, see the topics about
configuring filter policy settings for USB redirection, in the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in
Horizon 7 document.
