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 View 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.
The following table describes each policy setting for filtering USB devices in the Horizon Client
Configuration ADM 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 View applies the
policies for filtering USB devices, see the topics about configuring filter policy settings for USB redirection,
in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.

Descriptor Failsafe
Behavior
Allows devices to be redirected even if the Horizon Client fails to get the config/device
descriptors.
To allow a device even if it fails the config/desc, include it in the Include filters, such
IncludeVidPid or IncludePath.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.

Devices
Allows input devices other than hid-bootable devices or keyboards with integrated
pointing devices to be redirected.
The default value is undefined, which equates to true.
