Table 3‑10. Horizon View Client Command-Line Options (Continued)
Option Description
-unattended
Runs Horizon View Client in a noninteractive mode that is suitable for clients
in kiosk mode. You must also specify:
n
The account name of the client, if you did not generate the account name
from the MAC address of the client device. The name must begin with
the string “custom-” or an alternate prefix that you have configured in
ADAM.
n
The password of the client, if you did not generate a password
automatically when you set up the account for the client.
The -unattended option implicitly sets the -nonInteractive,
-connectUSBOnStartup, -connectUSBOnInsert , and
-desktopLayout multimonitoroptions.
-userName user_name
Specifies the account name that the end user uses to log in to
Horizon View Client. You do not need to specify this option for clients in
kiosk mode if you generate the account name from the MAC address of the
client device.
Options that you specify on the command line or in the configuration file take precedence over any global
system policies that you have defined, which in turn override user policies.
You can specify all options by Active Directory group policies except for -file, -languageId,
-printEnvironmentInfo, -smartCardPIN, and -unattended.
View Client Configuration File
You can read command-line options for View Client from a configuration file.
You can specify the path of the configuration file as an argument to the -file file_path option of the vmware-
view command. The file must be a Unicode (UTF-16) or ASCII text file.
Example: Example of a Configuration File for a Noninteractive Application
The following example shows the contents of a configuration file for a noninteractive application.
-serverURL https://view.yourcompany.com
-userName autouser

Example: Example of a Configuration File for a Client in Kiosk Mode
