Table 3‑9. Horizon Client Configuration Template: USB Filtering Settings (Continued)
Setting Properties
Exclude All Devices
Excludes all USB devices from being redirected. If set to true, you can use other policy settings to
allow specific devices or families of devices to be redirected. If set to false, you can use other
policy settings to prevent specific devices or families of devices from being redirected.
If you set the value of Exclude All Devices to true on the agent, and this setting is passed to
Horizon Client, the agent setting overrides the Horizon Client setting.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
This setting is in the VMware Horizon Client Configuration > View USB Configuration folder in
the Group Policy Management Editor.
Exclude Device Family
Excludes families of devices from being redirected. The format of the setting is
family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device splitting, 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 splitting, Horizon examines the device family of the whole composite
USB device.
The default value is undefined.
This setting is in the VMware Horizon Client Configuration > View USB Configuration folder in
the Group Policy Management Editor.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Excludes devices with specified vendor and product IDs from being redirected. 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-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
This setting is in the VMware Horizon Client Configuration > View USB Configuration folder in
the Group Policy Management Editor.
Exclude Path
Exclude devices at specified hub or port paths from being redirected. The format of the setting is
bus-x1[/y1].../port-z1[;bus-x2[/y2].../port-z2]...
You must specify bus and port numbers in hexadecimal. You cannot use the wildcard character in
paths.
For example: bus-1/2/3_port-02;bus-1/1/1/4_port-ff
The default value is undefined.
This setting is in the VMware Horizon Client Configuration > View USB Configuration >
Settings not configurable by Agent folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.
